When Soap and Glory becomes a sick addiction.

I will always admit my Soap and Glory collection is ridiculous - it always seems to be the go-to thing people buy me and although I love it, getting through it quickly isnt the easies task. I'd just like to point out this isnt a 'look at what I have' post in fact, I plan on giving this away as gifts to others as alot of these products I wont get round to using but they come in a set so they just end up in my bathroom.  I've also put some of these in my 100 follower giveaway which you can find at the end of this post!

Apologies for the versions you see that arent the current packaging. S+G have had a few revamps and my products have therefore aged abit in terms of the aesthics!!

If theres one thing I love (besides the amazing smell) its the names of these products, theyre memorable and often teamed with some great packaging.

 I will try to link to all these products and give a brief description from what I've used.

 

Foot and Hand Care

Heel Genius Foot Cream - £5.50 - BUY 
Hand Food Hand Cream - £5.00 - BUY 

It kinda annoys me how much of this stuff I own, I find hand creams amazing but the 125ml is hard for on-the-go application (i do have travel sizes of this) but getting through a full tub is hard work.
The foot cream is also just as good but its rare I can ever be bothered to pamper my feet even though I know I should!! - I am giving away both of these in my giveaway!

Body Spray / Deodrant

Glam-a-Lot Body spray - No longer available as a stand alone product but I found it in this set here
Mist You Madly Body Spray - £6.50 - BUY
Glad Pits Deodrant - No Longer available

The fact 2 of these arent available is pretty annoying, but if I remember the deodrant was really expensive for you, a deodrant! Both the body sprays are so light and sweet - perfect for that everyday spritz.

Travel Mini's

See full size info!

These are perfect for travelling or if you want to use some products quickly (great for reviews). I love minis as they dont take up loads of room and if you hate it, then you dont have to go out and buy the full size!

Face Care

Peaches and Clean Face Wash - £8.00 - BUY
Face Soap Clarity - £8.00 - BUY
Greatest Scrub of All - £9.00 - BUY 
The Fab Pore - £10.00 - BUY 

Its worth mentioning, these are pretty much alllll the old packaging. The face care range looks a lot more grown up and simple these days, with the scrubs being exfoliators I dont always use the same one so these have lasted me so long!!
The Fab Pore is an amazing face mask and smells really relaxing. Peaches and Clean is my go to daily face wash - but the peach smell isnt great with a hangover (peach schnapps anyone?) - I was ready to review this just as they brought out the new bottle which was pretty annoying.

Bubble Bath

Calm One Calm All Bubble Bath - £6 - BUY

This seems to be something everyone buys me / they put in all their sets! I actually reviewed this here 
as it was one product that seemed to last me forever!!! 

Body Products

 

Sugar Crush Body Wash - £6.50 - BUY
Smoothie Star Body Milk - £10.00 - BUY
Foam Call Body Wash - £6.50 - BUY
Clean on Me Body Wash  - £6.00 - BUY

I'll admire besides the bottle of Clean on Me I'm yet to use any of the others so I can't tell you too much about them! I'm really fussy with body wash and like to finish one before I move on and considering how big these are - i'm gonna be here a loooong time.

Body Moisturisers (bottles)

Butter Yourself Moisture Lotion - £10.00 - BUY
Girligo Moisture Spray - £6.50 - BUY

Although I've not used the Butter Yourself yet, I can 100% confirm my love for Girligo, this is the lazy girls body lotion spray! I hate getting out of a bath and applying body butter, so the fact I can spray it on is a complete dream!!

Body Scrubs

Pulp Friction Body Scrub - £8.00 - BUY
The Scrub of your life -  £7.00 - BUY

When it comes to scrubs - I always go into a bath with the best intentions but once I'm in there the thought of exfoliating is just a chore! The scrub of your life is one of my faves though when I do get round to it!

Haircare

Glad Hair Day Shampoo - £5.50 - BUY
Glad Hair Day Conditioner - £5.50 - BUY
Hair Supply - Discontinued

I've done a pretty good job at hiding the fact my S+G shampoo/conditioner are actually on the last little bits. I really did love these, they left my hair super smooth. The Hair Supply is currently in the testing period for my review - but clearly it doesnt matter now its no longer available!

Make Up

Off Your Face Facewipes - £4.50 - BUY
Supercat Eyeliner - £6.00 - BUY
Kickass Concealer - £10.00 - BUY
Thick and Fast Mascara - £10.00 - BUY
Various Sexy Mother Pucker Lipgloss' - £9.00 - BUY
Girl O Whirl Make Up Set -  Not Available

So much nice stuff here! The facewipes were part of a set - I wouldnt normally spend nearly a fiver on some facewipes! My eyeliner is currently been tested everyday. but so far so good!
I've shamefully not touched my concealer yet as my current one seems to be lasting me FOREVER!
Thick and Fast Mascaras have also been great so far - a few smudges but I will pick up on this in a review I'm sure. I've yet to ever like the Mother Pucker glosses but they always give them away in Xmas sets but my love for lipgloss just won't star with these ones.
The set is no longer available as it was an Xmas 2013 set but I did talk about it all those moons ago here

Tubs of Stuff

The Righteous Butter - £10.50 - BUY

Sugar Crush (Old and New) - £8.00 - BUY

Butter Yourself - £10.50 - BUY

This really makes me miss the old Blue bath range that they did when I first discovered S+G and it was so different and cool - this blue one has lasted me far too long I'm sure but I just adore it!!

Various Boxed Lotions

The Firminator (old style) - £12.00 - BUY
Return to Slender (old)- Discontinued
Glow Lotion - £5.50 - BUY

 Again these blue boxes always make me so much more excited about S+G, this moreso as it was my holy grail to firm me up abit before I went on holiday 2 years ago!!

Face Care (from a gift set)

Feel Good Factor BB Cream -£12.00 - BUY
Smooch Operator - £5.00 - BUY
Puffy Eye Attack -  £12.50 - BUY

I got these in a face box set in the January sales and shamefully forgot I had it - especially as I've been moaning about how awful my eyes are lately!! You can see that box in this post right here

So there we go! The end at last!
As I said this was never a 'look at my stuff' post, I just wanted to post about Soap and Glory for some time and a run down of what I own / a preview of what to expect reviews about throughout the year/.

Whats your favourite Soap and Glory product?? Is there anything you'd recommend me trying? (I know I know I shouldnt be buying anymore, but I love to here your faves!!!)

The Body Shop Haul

If theres anything I love, its a bargain. Being an O2 customer, I get access to their priority moments and sometimes they upload some great offers!

So far I've loved their offers with Boux Avenue, L'Occtaine, WH Smiths and Hotel Chocolat (who often give away free chocolate mmmm)

This week I decided to log in and check out what they had on often and was happy to see their Body Shop offer had returned. This one happened to be a 'Buy £40 worth of products with £20 off'

Heads up: If £20 is something you don't have, keep checking back as I have used a £20 for £10 version of this before.

Anyway, on with my purchases. I've been reading about loads of the shops products on Bloglovin recently and I couldnt help but want to investigate for myself. Growing up The Body Shop was always like 'my mums shop' which she loved and her obsession with their Body Butters is something I've continued with.

I actually spent a good amount of time finding products which I feel will suit me and my current beauty needs...

Rainforest Radiance Detangling Spray - £6.50 - BUY

This was actually the last kind of add on purchase to my shop but I thought this would be ideal for me. Its a detangling spray, remember when Loreal Kids brought that green bottle version out back in the 90's?? just me then. Well, I remember it was super good and having long hair again means I am prone to killing it by shamefully pulling on split ends. Its for coloured hair, again, a plus point even though my aim is to slowly get rid of my dying addiction. 
It smells so so fruity and although I'm excited to give this a go, I've annoyingly read pretty bad reviews of this online but I've also seen tips and tricks on how to make this work to its full potential so I'm def following those before my review.

Falling for Blue Hair Chalk - £5.00 - BUY 

For a fiver, how could I not?! I'd actually just seen a review on these before picking them up and was really impressed at how good they look on dark hair so I have high hopes!
I was pretty quick on the hair chalk bandwagon last year but after graduating / moving house / working full time Ive not been so daring with my hair colour so I'm really excited to try this out!!

Skin Primer Moisturise It - £12 - BUY

This wasnt a product I set out to buy but after seeing it came in a Moisture It or a Matte It, I decided to opt for a moisturising primer mostly because if you're a regular reader of my blog you'll know I'm lazy in the mornings and the fact I could use this as a moisturiser and primer means I get to skip a whole step. Its a super creamy cream and feels really lightweight so once I've given it a try I'll post up a review of the primer qualities. 

Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-oil - £12 - BUY

One of the body shops newest products, this vitamin E oil is designed to help skin overnight by moisturising it for 8hours. As its a serum/oil cross it does feel pretty greasy when you apply it and ive found my skin doesnt feel soft until the morning so it really must take 8hr to fully settle into your skin.
Another personal plus for me is the bottle. Its a glass bottle which I always feels adds to the niceness of products and you apply it to your palms with this amazing little dropper applicator so you know exactly how much you're apply. Great for me that always uses way too much.

Eyeshadow Blender Brush - £10 - BUY

I've heard great things about the body shop brushes and although I was eyeing up the foundation/powder brushes, after recently buying a real technique one, I thought it'd be pretty pointless so I opted for an area I'm lacking in, eye brushes. This blending brush is really soft and I think it'l be lovely to use.

So all this came to only £25 instead of £45 so I'm even happier with my purchases knowing some were technically free

Have you got any Body Shop products you can recommend to me??

Primark Beauty - Dancing On Sunshine Zesty Body Butter

 Its taken me a while to decide if I should go ahead with this post or not as Primark and Skincare probably arent too words that you would think go together successfully.

I received this as a gift ages ago off a family member and as a skincare snob, wasnt too impressed but since moving in my boyfriend and the billion comments I get about how much stuff I own I thought I should maybe starting using up the lingering products in our cupboards.

This is a simple 50ml pot of a Zesty Body Butter called Dancing On Sunshine. When it comes to the fragrance, this does not dissapoint with hints of mango, orange and even a bit of peach making itself present its like a tropical party in a pot.

Its fairly simple and easy come, easy go as products go but at the same time, nor does it try to claim any benefits or statements that most brands try to sell themselves with. Even the instructions on the back just say 'massage into your skin until fully absorbed'. Thats as much as you get, plain and simple.

On application, I actually surprsingly liked this, it absorbed really quickly and as a girl who would rather get into bed than sit waiting for my product to dry, it was a real plus point. Not too mention the scent lingers on your body so you smell lovely all night long.

I found I got through the 50ml pretty quickly as you do need to scoop up quite a bit to give a good coverage as like i said, it absorbs pretty quickly into your skin.

Overall, I actually do rate this product if you're low on funds or going on holiday and don't want to risk taking an expensive brand then Primark really are spot on.
I don't think its a product I'll personally rebuy (mainly because I'm sure my boyfriend wouldn't be thrilled HA) but if I got it as a gift, I wouldn't turn my nose up so quickly at it in future.

Have you tried any of Primark skincare range??
