My #1 addiction...

Probably one of my biggest obsessions is Soap & Glory. Their products feature pretty regularly in my blog posts which you can read here, here and here.

1. Big Vanity Bag, 2. Sit Tight, 3. Lipstick Super Nude, 4. Orangeasm Body Wash, 5. Sugar Crush Body Scrub, 6. Massage Glove, 7. A Brush With Greatness, 8. Supercat Liquid Eyeliner, 9. Mist You Madly, 10. No Clogs Allowed Facemask, 11. Hand Maid, 12. Smooch Operator, 13. You Won't Believe Your Eyes, 14. Scrub Of Your Life, 15. Glad Hair Day Shampoo, 16. Heel Genius, 17. Endless Glove, 18. The Fab Pore Facewipes, 19. Another Bag With A Name I Do Not Know, 20. Clean On Me, 21. Lipstick Pom Pom, 22. Face Massage Mini Mitt, 23. Eyes Cool Mask, 24. Face Soap And Clarity, 25. Scrub 'Em And Leave 'Em Body Buff, 26. The Righteous Butter, 27. Mini Make-Up Bag, 28. Bath Pillow, 29. The Daily Soothe Bath Float, 30. Smoulder Kohl Pencil Eyeliner (in various colours), 31. Lipstick The Missing Pink, 32. Hand Food, 33. Small Silver Make Up Bag, 34. Shower Puff.

And that's not everything. I also have a Nail Polish, Nail File, Kick Ass Concealer and 2 other cosmetic bags, so as you can see, I have a bit of a problem. It's got that bad that now I treat myself to 1 new S&G product every payday. I seriously just can't get enough of them. One of my favourite things about these products is that pretty much most of the names are puns or silly little jokes. It gives me a little giggle whilst i'm in the bath, but also makes them memorable. But of course, the main reason why Soap & Glory is so well known, the magnificent smells! Their products each have their own individual, unique and beautiful fragrance. Sometimes with cosmetics there are products who's scent can give you a bit of a headache (I'm mainly thinking of a popular high street bath bomb brand), but S&G find that perfect balance to make you smell like a goddess without causing migraines.

Choosing my favourite products is extremely difficult, but i'll give a good go at choosing my top 5:

1. Massage Glove with Breakfast Scrub or Sugar Crush Body Scrub
I did a review on these products last year which, if you like, you can have a read of here. I would absolutely recommend them to everyone. They make my legs feel amazing and it gives me that extra little boost of confidence if i'm going out and baring the legs.

2. Supercat Liquid Eyeliner
My most favourite eyeliner of all time. It's styled like a marker pen so it's literally like just drawing on your eyelid. The application is so easy and even. I've been using it for years and I will be until the end of time. It dries incredibly fast so there's no worries about it transferring to the top of your eyelid, which us girls know is a pain in the arse.

3. The Fab Pore Facewipes with Face Soap & Clarity and No Clogs Allowed Facemask
I love using these three together. The face wipes take make up off so easily, and just after using these my face feels so clean afterwards. Then I take to the sink and wash my face with Face Soap (also using the Mini Mitt which is number 22 in the top picture). The beads in the face wash and the bristles on the Mini Mitt really help clean out pores and leaves an incredibly fresh feeling afterwards. Finally, once a week I use the No Clogs Allowed face mask after my usual routine. It slightly warms up your face in a pleasant way, and also includes menthol (just don't put it too close to your eyes, I made that mistake). My face feels like a baby's bottom afterwards! I can't stop feeling my face after using this.

4. Hand Maid
It just smells so good. Whenever I use it I can still smell it on my hands hours later. It's handy to keep in my bag in case I touch something icky or I get chocolate on my hands etc (this happens a lot).

5. Mini Make Up Bag
I love to use this to carry round my make up brushes when i'm staying somewhere overnight. It doesn't take up too much space in an overnight bag and is just the right size to fit all of my brushes in.

So there you have it. My #1 addiction which shows no signs of wavering any time soon.

Little Lipstick Collection.

Recently I have become somewhat an avid collector of lipsticks. I just can't help myself.
MAC and Soap and Glory have become personal favourites, with a couple of Rimmel's on the side.
Let's start with the eau naturals.
MAC in 'Pink Plaid' and Soap and Glory's 'The Missing Pink' are both very similar shades and are perfect if you're going for that natural/pinkish look. I tend to use these for casual days out.
For a natural beige I can not rave enough about Super Nude by Soap and Glory. I wear this nearly every day, it's lovely and smooth on my lips and smells like vanilla. When I use heavy eyeshadow (usually with my Naked Palette by Urban Decay) I like to use quite a calm lipstick so I don't over do it, which Super Nude is perfect for. And to top it off, it's a perfect natural look too.
Next we have the lovely reds. MAC's Ruby Woo is a brilliant and rich crimson red colour. Because it's matte, it can be quite dry when applying to my lips so i'd recommend using a lip liner with this one, and maybe topping it off with a bit of lipgloss for a bit of moisture. As a nice dark red I really like 'Wine' in Rimmel's Kate Moss collection, and it smells really nice! At the moment, i'm on a bit of a purpley hype. My newest and most favourite is 'Rebel' by MAC. So far it's my only purple lipstick and I absolutely love the colour. Another close favourite is another MAC gem, 'Flat Out Fabulous' which I am wearing in the picture below (the filter makes it look pink).

With most of MAC's dark shaded lipsticks, Flat Out Fabulous, Rebel and Ruby Woo are nearly impossible to completely wash off your lips. I often find myself with a scourer and soap scrubbing my lips! If anyone has any remedies that helps them with this, I would be very thankful. Most of the lipsticks I wear are because they have been recommended to me by friends and family. I'm always willing to try out a new shade!

A long awaited review!

Finally!
A while ago I bought a Soap & Glory Breakfast Scrub, and I promised a review.
*You can see the first post here*


Soap & Glory Massage Glove £8.50 from Boots


Soap & Glory Breakfast Scrub £8 from Boots


SO HERE IT FINALLY IS!

First of all, like all other S&G products, it smells UH-MAZING. 
I used the scrub with Soap & Glory's Massage Glove in the shower on my legs and afterwards they felt amazing!
I literally stepped out of the shower feeling like I had the most amazing legs in the world.
They felt so soft and smooth afterwards that I couldn't get enough of it.
If you're body conscious (like me) then this will at least help you feel more confident about your legs - get out there and don those short skirts!
There isn't much else to say apart from BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT.
I would definitely recommend both of these to everyone. They should seriously start selling them together as a package because they go together like cookies and milk. Both of these products are my two favourites from Soap & Glory so far.

Soap & Glory Breakfast Scrub.

After treating myself with the points on my advantage card at Boots, I thought I'd give Soap & Glory's Breakfast Scrub a go.


For only £8, it's a decent sized pot that could last a good while.
Soap & Glory is known for the lovely scents of it's products, (i'm obsessed with Hand Food & Clean On Me). The smell of Breakfast Scrub doesn't disappoint. With the product including bananas, almond & honey extracts, it literally smells as if you could eat it (please don't). If you sat and sniffed it for a while it would probably get too much and too sickly, but for a quick scrub in the shower or the bath, I think it's perfect.
So over the next 2 weeks I'll be using this and I'll let you know what the results are!
