My favourite (and not so favourite) Soap and Glory products

Well, where do I start ...I've been a huge fan of Soap and Glory for years, I'm always the one rushing to Boots on arrival of a new product range, so I thought I'd share my experiences of my favourites and the ones I wouldn't be rushing out to buy again any time soon..

First up, my every day moisturiser..

For Daily Youth Moisture Lotion

This is a really great product all round, it smells good (but isn't overly perfumed) the consistency is great, its nourishing and light but not too greasy. A good base for make up, or would feel very comfortable in the summer on bare skin. The only thing stopping it being absolutely perfect (in my opinion) is that it doesn't have an SPF which is essential in the fight against wrinkles :)

This retails for £12.00.

Here's a pic of what to look out for ;)


next up is...

The Ultimelt

This Hot Cloth Cleanser is wonderful, the consistency is luxurious used with the muslin cloth it gives a good deep cleanse, smells great like essential oils, a little piece of luxury in your day, its a really nice product to have in your daily routine.


RRP £10.00

Beauty Sleep Accelerator

This is AMAZING, I honestly cant rate it enough, use this as part of your night time routine, after taking off your make up for the day and your face is all fresh and clean (great feeling) pop this on get your beauty sleep and you wake up with fresh dewy skin that feels great. They also recommend that you use it before a long haul flight.

It smells great, again it has a peachy scent that's pleasant yet not overwhelming , the consistency isn't too heavy, as with most night creams. It feels as though its working and all you've got to do is sleep!

RRP £13.00

next up...shower time with...

CLEAN, GIRLS

Love love this body wash, not only does it smell pretty, its very reasonably priced and it has a built in moisturising element, which actually leaves you feeling like you've applied a light moisturiser when you get out of the shower, absolutely perfect for girls on the go...

RRP £6.50






next up a little bit of...

..PULP FRICTION

not to be confused with the Quentin Tarantino movie. Pulp Friction is my number one body exfoliator, the reason that I love this one more than the others (which are still pretty fab by the way) this firstly smells GREAT, a fresh and pretty scent. The consistency almost "clings to you" which sounds kinda weird but do you ever get that moment when you squeeze a product into your hand, you move or jolt your hand and it just ....slides off, onto the shower floor ....I don't know if this is just me (hopefully not).

You can really feel this working, it scrubs without damaging your skin, it gets rid of those ugly dead skin cells which makes your skin appear dull and it leaves you super soft and smooth ready for your moisturiser...

RRP £8.00

 

 

and finally after all that washing and scrubbing, you'll want to finish it off with a moisturiser....I cant help but have two favourites....one's a butter and the other a lotion ...

THE RIGHTEOUS BUTTER

Love this as an every day moisturiser, for days when I'm leaving my house at the time I should already be wherever I have to be, frantically assuring my friends "I'm definitely leaving my house in 5" while my hair is still wet and my outfit unplanned......

a perfect lotion to slather on as soon as you're out of the shower, it sinks in almost straight away, smells gorgeous, like 'silk in a bottle' and comes in a never ending 500ml size, perfect!

RRP £10.00

BUTTER YOURSELF

This is a super rich indulgent yummy body butter, smells absolutely amazing (as usual) this is definitely a pamper product (or an everyday product for the more organised)  super simple yet effective. Will have those rough patches smooth in no time at all.

RRP £10.50

 

 

 

 

 

 Those are my all time tried and tested every day products, that I've purchased time and time again, enjoy.

Now for the rare occasions, products I wouldn't purchase again.......

1. For those who are aren't familiar with Soap and Glory they come in 5 different scents.

ORIGINAL PINK
MIST YOU MADLY
FRUITIGO
CREAM TEAM
SUGAR CRUSH

personally I hate the smell of SUGAR CRUSH its supposed to smell like kaffir lime, lemons, mandarin with sweet vanilla musk and coconut ....I just think its an odd smell and wouldn't purchase anything in that range.

     2.  Peaches and Clean, 3-in-1 Wash-off Deep Purifying Cleanser.
This didn't remove my make up as it claims and felt like it wasn't really doing anything, let along wash my face. The only thing I can say about this product is its quite moisturising and smells yummy.


That's it...Let me know your favourite Soap & Glory product :)

Benefit they're real mascara

So, the claim from this wonder product is this mascara "lengthens, curls, volumises, lifts & separates lashes"

So initially I was impressed with the packaging, it was typical of the quirky glamorous design that adorns all Benefit products.

I'm not usually a fan of plastic wands, my eyes are pretty sensitive but this was pretty forgiving, the wand is flexible and even has a really useful dome shaped end to ensure even your smallest lashes are covered. Perfect!

This is a good all round mascara, its extremely suitable for every day and can be built up for a more dramatic evening look.  After 3 weeks of using it almost every day I can quite confidently say that on every application my lashes look longer, curlier,  more lifted, separated and voluminous. wow!

Having said that, with every wonder product, inevitably there's a downside (only 1or 2!)....

Firstly the product felt quite drying, not initially, but when it got to lunchtime after around 5/6 hours of wear!

Second, the price :(.... at £19.50 I have to say there are other products on the market that deliver quite similar results in my opinion, such as Max Factor Masterpiece MAX Mascara. at £9.99

I would recommend this product if you were looking for a good all round mascara in a middle price bracket, however I don't think id be purchasing it when I run out....

Has anyone else tried this? let me know what you think?
