Soap and Glory Smoothie Star Body Milk


I'm a bit lazy when it comes to moisturising my body. I never really bother unless I'm having a bit of a pamper session and even then I get so frustrated waiting for it to sink in before I can comfortably put clothes on! 

Soap and Glory's Smoothie Star Body Milk has come to my rescue! As it's a body 'milk' the formula isn't thick like say S&G's 'The Righteous Butter' (which I would probably use on those rare pampering sessions) and so I've found it doesn't take nearly as long to sink into the skin. However, this does not compromise the moisturising power and the skin is left feeling soft, smooth, hydrated and smelling like a dream. 

I really love this product as it's so easy and quick to use. Before, where I 99% of the time wouldn't have bothered to moisturise my body it has now become a normal part of my routine. I think this huge bottle will last me a while but I will definitely be repurchasing when I run out!

Soap & Glory Peaches and Clean Deep Cleansing Milk


Peaches and Clean is a '4-in-1 wash off deep cleansing milk' which claims to purify, energise and remove make up. I like this product as I think it's a real 'I just want to go to bed and not have to endure the whole skincare regime' kind of thing. It removes make up easily and although the instructions say to just rub it in to the skin and wash it off I find it works to remove eye make up if you just use a cotton wool pad to do so. I realise if you were feeling that lazy you would perhaps just use a make up wipe but I think this gives you a little extra in terms of cleansing and softening the skin. I also sometimes like to use this in the mornings as it is very refreshing and energising. Whenever I use it though I feel my skin definitely needs some moisturiser afterwards as while it feels smooth and soft it does not feel very hydrated.

As to be expected with S&G it smells gorgeous! It actually smells like some sweets my dad sometimes buys from Aldi which come in a tin, kind of minty and I think the sweets are pomegranate? Obviously I'm guessing the smell is meant to be peaches though. (I apologise for my awful fragrance descriptions, someone needs to invent smelly-vision already!) It's very refreshing whatever it is!

The label says it contains fruit acids to smooth the skin, Quillaja bark - a natural 'soap', Jojoba oil (always raved about) which softens the skin, Detoxyboost technology which helps to purify and deep clean and Poreshrink R2 which gives a clearer, fresher and softer complexion. It also says that it contains a 'special clogged T-zone formula' and since using this I have to say I have noticed a fair difference in my oily T-zone. It doesn't seem to get as 'shiny' as it usually does throughout the day.

The only thing that I find a bit strange with this product is a little warning on the back of the bottle about the fact that it contains 'exfoliating alpha hydroxy acids, which can make your skin photosensitive' which after reading up on actually seems rather nasty! For this reason I try not to use this too often on my fair skin, but I figure if it was a real danger the product would not be allowed to be sold. I would recommend reading up on this if you are considering purchasing though as you may have a different opinion and this product may not be for you.

BTW... I feel like I may be bombarding my blog a bit with S&G, I just own a lot of it and I do really love it so I feel that their brilliance needs to be shared! I promise I do use other brands too!

Soap & Glory Mist You Madly Body Spray



I think this may be one of those products that everyone has, but just in case you don't, I feel that I should share with you as you really do need this in your life!

Mist You Madly body spray is simply a floral mist spray which I personally cannot get enough of! I spray it all over me as soon as I get out of the shower and the gorgeous smell lingers on the skin all day. Literally until I next have a shower the smell doesn't fade which I think is amazing. This is at least my third bottle and I will continue to repurchase this forever and ever. They do have alternative fragrances available which are also lovely, so you can find the best one to suit you.

Soap and Glory Thick & Fast Super Volume Mascara

..... and 'Super Volume' it most certainly is! I love this mascara because it creates maximum effect with little effort. I'm one of those girls who loves big thick eyelashes (obviously not the clumpy kind) and if I can get away without wearing falsies then I am sold!



That is a picture of before and after two coats (close ups.......EEK!) I think this mascara creates quite a dramatic effect really easily, it thickens and lengthens the lashes without being clumpy and it stays put all day long! I also prefer this kind of brush to the plastic ones you sometimes get now, they just don't seem to do it for me.

I got mine as part of the 'The Best of All' gift set but you can get it online here, I'm not sure if the £3 off offer is also available in store?

This is the first S&G make up product I have tried and I am really impressed, I will definitely be looking into more of the range.

Soap and Glory Glad Hair Day Shampoo and Conditioner

Who doesn't LOVE Soap and Glory? I can't seem to get enough of it. I bought myself the better than half price HUGE S&G set from Boots both this year and last. As a gift I also received the Shampoo and Intensive Conditioner.





First things first.... the smell. OH MY GOD IT IS AMAZING! It's not the usual smell that I would usually associate with S&G products, but really.... it's so much better!! It's fruity in a way my nose has never experience before! I'd seriously buy these two just for how amazing my hair smells for a good couple of days afterwards. Amazing. Have you got that it's amazing???

Now to the actual performance of the product. I didn't really notice anything special about how it left my hair feeling. The shampoo made my hair feel just as clean as it would with any other shampoo and the conditioner left it feeling silky smooth. They retail at Boots for £5.50 each which I think is pretty reasonable, although maybe ones to try when they have their fairly regular 3 for 2 deal on S&G? I am impressed and would definitely consider repurchasing purely for that AMAZING smell!
