Soap & Glory Must Have Duo

I've been a fan of Soap & Glory for a couple of years now, but I have yet to receive any of the amazing gift sets that they put together at Christmas no matter how many hints I drop to my brothers!!! who knows maybe this year!!!

There are two products from Soap & Glory that really stand out to me as I'm never without them:

Flake Away Spa Body Polish


I was first told about this by my good friend C a few days before we were due to fly off to Cancun, some girls like to fake tan before they go on holiday, I like have a body polish, as I was watching the pennies I decided to buy one and do it myself and I will be forever grateful to C for introducing me to the this fantastic range.

Flake away is made with Shea butter, sugar and peach seed powder, sea salt, grapeseed and almond oils, that is quite a list of ingredients!!!!

On the tub it states:

"It might be fine if her friends are flaky, but a lady's legs should never be"
"Transform your scaly legs from reptilian to radiant"
"Sssshhhhh! now he'll never know that all this time you've been flaking it...."

The people at soap and glory certainly have a sense of humour!!! you'll find similar quotes on the packing of all of their products.

But now more importantly does this body polish live up to the hype HELL YES!!!!!
It has a lovely texture and is not to harsh on the skin.
It left my skin so smooth and silky I was totally blown away, an absolute must buy!!

For extra silky smooth skin follow up with this:


The Righteous Butter, Body Butter

The righteous is a skin softening body butter is a formula that is made for very dry skin that contains Shea butter and Aloe vera. It has a dynamic moisture trap matrix to help hold in the moisture for longer.
This has a really nice smell, I find that most of the soap & glory range smell really good, which is a bonus in my book.

It states on the tub:
"Bored? lost that rubbing feeling? why not try the righteous butter"
"A body moisturizing formula so virtuous, you might swear your wearing velvet"

Again, very amusing statements.

And again a AMAZING results.

This actually keeps your skin hydrated, no top ups needed. It's ace when used after using Flake Away but just as good if using on its own. I like to use it after washing my hands.

Again an absolute must buy!!!

5 out of 5 stars ★★★★★




You can get both of these product from www.boots.com

The Righteous butter is priced at £10.21 and Flake away at £6.64 both currently on a 3 for 2 offer, so take advantage and try some more of the Soap & Glory range, if you find something you like tells us about it.

E.L.F Mineral Infused Face Primer (budget friendly)


Firstly I will start off by saying that this is an amazing product, and you will never believe how much it costs!

I had been trying to get this for ages from http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/  I was so chuffed when they finally got more stock in, that I bought two! ( at the time elf were having 50% off of everything woooo hoooo!) and I am soo glad i did.

Directions :- apply to your skin before foundation ( tut tut, after you moisturise your face of course!) half a pump should be enough for the whole face but if you do not think that is enough, use more.

This face primer as far as i'm concerned can give most named brand ones a run for there money.

If you are just getting into make-up and are looking for a face primer, please, pu-lezzzz give this one a try, at £6, yes that is six pounds for 14g  you can not go wrong. This face primer is clear, (so it should be ok for all skin tones) gives your face a smooth matte finish,  so your foudation just glides on.

You can purchase this E.L.F Mineral Infused Face Primer directly from there website http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/ 

I forgot to mention that it is from there STUDIO LINE

NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CREAM (addis ababa, milan, amsterdam)

 (starting from the left the colours are "addis ababa, milan, amsterdam)
I first heard about this product from a you tuber called colouredbeautiful , she had on the addis ababa ( which is a fushia pink) and the only way i can explain to you, the way i felt, when i saw the colour on her lips, is to say "it was like lust, at first sight!" ohh my life, i just had to have it, hmmm, and three matt lip creams later....well (lol) you know the drill, i just couldnt resists!

I bought addis ababa, which is a fushia pink, milan, which is a soft pink, amsterdam, which is red.

warning! you will become addicted.

These soft matt lip creams are great, not only are they highly pigmented, and long lasting, (so there is no need to be re-applying every second) but they go on so soft and silky, and drum roll please! they do not dry out your lips, yess, they are that creamy..

TIPS:-  When applying these lip creams,(and any other lip product) make sure you exfoliate and prime your lips, trust me, it makes all the difference, to the finsh of this product...

I believe that any female of any skin tone can pull of these colours and if you do not like these ones, I am sure you will find a colour for you.

Nyx soft matte lip creams are £8.95 direct from the website, you can also check joy017 on ebay, she has some fantatic offers! do it do it NOW!

You can purchase nyx products from http://www.nyxcosmectics.co.uk/  or http://www.ebay.co.uk/ joy017

E.L.F Makeup Mist & Set

If like me your biggest worry in hot weather like this is your makeup running down your face, then I think I just have the answer....

S gave me a bottle of this stuff to try, when she gave it to me I was a little unsure as I had not heard too much about makeup setting sprays, but nevertheless I thought I would give it a go.
It is made with aloe, green tea, cucumber and vitamins A,C & E sounds good right?!?

There are 2 ways you can apply it on once you have put on all your makeup:
  • Spray it on and pat it with a towel
  • Spay it on and leave it to dray naturally

I opted to let it dry naturally and in weather like this it took less than a minute.
I was really surprised that it actually worked!! normally by lunchtime I need to give my face a little fix up but with this there was no need.

Also as a bonus you can use the mist to refresh yourself in hot weather regardless if your wearing makeup or not. so its perfect to take on holiday or have in handbag.

A great purchase!!!
