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!!!)

T'was A Lush Filled Valentines!

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm going to push Valentines related posts to today. The boyfriend did good when it came to gifts this year (saying that, he did last year, he took me to see Jersey Boys in London!). However, we both set ourselves a £30 budget this year due to us having real life things we need money for nowadays as we're saving for a house and nice things in life.

This doesn't mean he wasn't completely amazing when it came to buying for me! He already suggested Lush as I'm sure you can guess by now, I'm a fan!


 Lush Goodies!!!!

Firstly, I received the beautiful gift box (doesnt include the heart bathbomb):

Hello Gorgeous Gift Box - £21.75 - BUY 
 Safe to say, the boys done good with this one. I didn't actually ask for any of the Valentines gift sets as I didn't personally think they were too cracking this year but this one is just perfect. He actually told me he wanted to get me something different as we tend to just live off the bathbombs in our house. 
So here is what the set has to offer...


Vanilla Dee-Lite Body Lotion (100g) - £12.50 for 250g - BUY 

They have filled this to the brim which instantly makes me love it! I'm yet to try any of their body lotions but I can't wait to give it a go. I tested a small patch on my hand and the scent is so strong that I'm hoping it'll linger on my skin all day.


Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub - £8.25 - BUY

I've heard amazing things from this scrub and Lush even recommend using it on your hair aswell as your body! Although I'm always quite sceptical about using scrubs and oherwise what i'd use to exfoliate with on my hair, I  will give it a try even if its just an excuse to get this fresh fragrance on my hair!!


Think Pink Bath Bomb - £2.50 - BUY

This is usually my go-to bathbomb. Its fresh, fruity and turns the bath a lovely shade of pink . I've received in a few gift sets before and for a usual price of £2.50, you can see why Lush put it in as a simple filler item but it does not dissapoint. I'll probably do a review on it this time around as I'm usually too eager and use this bomb straight away.


Gorgeous Facial Moisturiser (10g) - £39.50 for 45g - BUY

Now in terms of facial mosturiser, I love a great combination of ingredients and don't mind spending a tad more if its going to work as afterall, its my skin and face at the end of the day. However, and its a big however, I can't help that a) 10g is a very small trial size pot and b) nearly £40 for the full size is ridiculous! Especially when you consider you only get 45g in the full size. This teeny tiny pot is 10g!
I'm expecting this to be out of this world in terms of impressing me to buy the full size - which as you know from my standard Sample Ramble , I use this as a big decision maker. The scent seems very fresh so far and the teeny bit i put on my hand rubbed in with no issues but I shall soon see!


The Comforter Bubble Bar - £4.50 - BUY

This to me is the kinda product which sells Lush! Its fruity and oozes the 'use me now' factor! I'm guessing the name is partly based on its blackcurrant scent which who can deny, a warm ribeana cures everything! I'm excited to use this as its great to have a product which isn't money down the drain (literally) in one bath! 
 

The Love Locket Bath Bomb - £6.95 - BUY

If you've been one of the lovely lot that's been reading my blog, you'll know I put this in my January Lusts post and I expressed how much I wanted this! The only downside for me was the price so its always nice when you're not the one paying! I'm actually saving this for a few weeks before I go on holiday for a relaxing bath so the review will be very much belated but I think I need to make the most of a £7 bathbomb! 
Also just for the record, after going into the store to delve into the Valentines range, I actually wasnt so keen on any of it minus this bomb. I found a lot of quite sickly and boring this year so glad he knew i'd love this one!!!

Overall, I've had an amazing Valentines and been treated to Lush treats galore!! 
Did you get anything for Valentines or did you treat yourself to anything special??
