I have seen a few bloggers now do 'Brand focus' posts where they basically show all the things they have from a specific brand. I have wanted to do a review of some Soap & Glory products for a while so thought I could show you them all and maybe start a little series of these posts with a different brand every time maybe every few months?
My love for Soap & Glory products grows every time I go into Boots and see the shelves after shelves of amazing smelling products and have to drag myself away before I have no money left on my bank card! So here's my Soap & Glory collection so far, enjoy!
First of all I have shower gel. The full sized bottles are £6.50 which can seem a bit pricey just for a shower gel when you compare it too others but it is definitely worth it! The small one is a travel sized one that is really handy for going away on holiday and it is only £2.50 which I think is really good. I like that they are in a pump bottle so you don't use too much which is one of the reasons I think they are worth the price, as they last ages! I like to alternate between these 3 shower gels so that I don't get bored of them.The first one I have is Clean On Me which is a creamy shower gel but also has a built in body lotion. It leaves your skin feeling really smooth and soft and smells good too! The next one I have is Foam Call which has a stronger, more fruity smell than Clean On Me. I also think that it prevents your skin from going as dry as a normal one would so Its definitely a great one for winter. Lastly I have Sugar Crush. Words can not describe how much I love the fragrance of this one! It has a really strong citrus smell that lingers on your skin for quite a long time after and I just wish there was a perfume of this so that I could smell like it all of the time! I seriously recommend this one as it is my favourite and even if you don't want to buy it go into boots or super drug or somewhere like that and smell it, you will fall in love!
The next product I have is the Girligo spray on body moisturising mist. Mine came in a set so it is the mini 100ml which is £3.50 one but the full size 250ml is £6.50. This again smells really nice and is great for if you don't have time to apply a body lotion. You simply spray it on post shower and it soaks into your skin leaving its fragrance and not making your skin feel greasy like some lotions do. I wouldn't use it as an alternative to body lotion or butter all the time because I don't think it makes your skin feeling as soft as they do but it is definitely good to try and use when you go on holiday or don't have much time after showering in a morning.
The next product I have is possibly the most talked about product from Soap & Glory. It is the Hand Food hand cream that everyone recommends and is definitely worth having. It is not greasy at all and just leaves your hands feeling really soft and soothed which I think is done by the shea butter in it. It has a lovely light scent that you cant really smell until it has soaked into the skin. You don't need to use much of it which is probably why the hole it comes out of is so small (as I tried to show above) but this is great because it means it will probably be a long time until it needs replacing. I have the 50ml one which is just £2.50 but I dont think you need it any bigger because this one is the perfect handbag size and as I already mentioned will last a long time, but they also have a 125ml tube for £5.
I cant really say much about this next item as I haven't really used it but it is The Righteous Butter. It contains shea butter and aloe vera to make your skin feel soft after you have been in the bath or shower. It smells nice (no suprise there) and is a nice creamy, thick butter that does feel really nice when you apply it. I cant wait to use this one more and see how nice it really is. I have the £2.50 travel size 50ml pot because it was part of a set but you can also get a bigger 300ml pot for £10.50 which I think is a lot compared to this smaller one for only £2.50.
Similar to The Righteous Butter I have the Flake Away body polish/scrub. I have used this product a lot in the shower because I get really dry skin on my heels and this has really helped! I use it every other time I go in the shower as I think its too strong because it has the little sand type grains that must be quite harsh on your skin for it to work so quickly, but works really well. I'm not sure what this exactly smells like but suprise, suprise its really nice and not too strong. Mine again was in a set so is the £2.50 travel size one but I think the bigger pot for £8 is definitely something to think about when mine runs out.
Lastly is the first product I brought from Soap & Glory a long time ago. It's the Smooch Operator lip butter balm which helps repair extremely dry lips. This is like a miracle product! Not only does it smell like coconut but in just 1 or 2 uses it repairs dry lips perfectly! It is no longer available in this size any more which I think is rubbish because this has lasted me a very long time, but you have to get a smaller pot which does look a lot smaller. Mine was £6 but it is now smaller and £5 but I would pay so much more if I had to because it really is possibly the best beauty product I own!
I really enjoyed doing this post so I think I will definitely do more brand focus posts soon and maybe Alicia will too! Sorry its been almost a month since our last post but I have been in my schools production of Oliver the musical which along with dancing outside of school 5 days a week basically took over my life (seriously I almost forgot what a dinner time was!) and Alicia has started her revision for our GCSE exams in the summer. Hopefully we will have another post up soon and you wont have to wait quite as long!
