I should have typed this up forever ago! Like, really. I bought this set in the Christmas sales and we've gotten as far as late February, gotten as far as cut price Valentine chocolates on sale before I've managed to put some text to these photos?! What the hell have you been playing at? The ironic thing is that I was super organised with taking my blog photos for this post, it's the writing that I've ballsed up on this time.
Last year, I managed to pick up the big daddy of Soap and Glory gift sets in the Crimbo sale at half price. And I loved it SO much. All of the cosmetics goals. But I thought 'Surely I can't be that lucky two years in a row?'. I'm not going to lie, no I wasn't. I did better. I picked this up for LESS THAN HALF PRICE! And the Nobel Prize winner for taking on the January sales is...
It should have been £60, I picked this bad boy up for only £25! Obviously, you won't be able to pick this up anymore, but the products within it are still relevant, so I'm going to do a round up of my opinions on those as individual items instead.
Clean On Me Shower Cream- this was the first ever S&G product I ever picked up. It has that classic sweet marshmallowy scent and is lovely and moisturising on the skin. The shower cream of Queens.
The Righteous Butter Instant Sunkissed Tint Body Lotion- the sight of this when I opened up the bag filled me with a complete sense of euphoria. AN INSTANT TANNER! I've only patch tested this and it doesn't seem to have the biggest colour pay off in the world (not always a bad thing for Snow White over here) but it smells good and does help to take the edge of your milky white bits.
Hand Food...hmm...I can usually take or leave this one. There's nothing wrong with it, I just prefer small tubes, lighter texture and more fruity smells. My mum usually ends up with any bottles of these I've got.
I haven't used Soap and Glory skin care in forever! Like, really. I'm quite intrigued to give this a go though, it claims to cut through and remove make up, which I find that face washes don't usually do all that well. So I'll be giving Peaches and Clean Deep Cleansing Milk a go. We shall see if it makes the cut.
HEEL GENIUS! Now where would I be without this stuff! In fact, I remember buying it as a regular product before it was called Heel Genius and was still in blue packaging. True story bro. But seriously, I love everything about it; it saves my small, tired and really crappy feet and...smells like a fruit salad dessert made in Heaven. Halle-freaking-lujah!
And it needs neither an introduction or an explanation, there's a token pot of The Righteous Butter in the corner there. No further justification needed.
The Scrub Of Your Life is another of the first ever Soap and Glory products I got my grubby little mitts on. And it's the bee's knees. It's invigorating without being scratchy or abrasive and it's a fantastic fake tan partner.
I've tried a few bits from S&G's makeup range, and I've been pretty happy with everything I've tried. I'm looking forward to cracking open the Thick and Fast HD Mascara, because I loved how volumising Thick and Fast was. This claims to be thickening and lengthening and contains collagen (I'm guessing that this is supposed to give you that bit of oomph). From the hype, I'm expecting big things.
Plumping lip glosses that leave you all tingly are one thing that I just cannot get to grips with. Since this Sexy Mother Pucker isn't glittery or shimmery like others I have tried, I guess I'll give it a go. Girl can't beat a solid colour gloss. But this is one that only time will tell.
I'll keep you updated on whether there's any of these (other than the one's I've already confessed my undying love for) that I become bezzie mates with. But for now, that's your lot. Late to the party, but still hopefully useful!
