Soap and Glory Lid Stuff Eyeshadow Palette

LID STUFF

LID STUFF SHADOW

S & G SWTCH

Soap and Glory
Lid Stuff Eyeshadow Palette
What's Nude
£10.00 Boots

Another neutral eyeshadow palette...what a surprise!
I am so terrible when it comes to neutral eyeshadows
No matter how many palettes I already own whenever I see a neutral one I just have to have it
One day I'll stop...or not
Maybe I should start selling them on lol!
Soap and Glory have always been on my beauty radar, mainly due to their cute packaging but also becuase of the hype other beauty bloggers give them
I very fairly dabble in their make up however but after seeing Louise at Sprinkle of Glitter rave about this palette quite a while ago now I knew I had to pick it up
So when Boots had a 3 for 2 on S&G makeup I thought why the heck not!
The colours included are the perfect four neutrals and work really well together for a subtle daytime work eye look
Or even for school when you can't wear strong eye makeup
Three of the shades are matte with one shimmer and all have a fairly decent pigmentation
I like to use the three matte shades together for a work friendly look but then add some of the shimmer to take it through to evening
The second shade from the left on the swatches is the perfect shade on my skintone to completely balance out any redness on my lids 
If you're looking for a fairly cheap little eyeshadow palette with work/school appropriate shades then I definitely recommend picking this little baby up

Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Shower Gel

sugar crush

Soap and Glory
Sugar Crush Body Wash
£6.00

This smells DIVINE! 
Absolutely amazing, I think this might actually be my favourite Soap and Glory scent
Sometimes their scents can be slightly too sweet and sickly but this is the perfect balance between citrus and sweet
The main scent is lime but also a sugary undertone 
As a body wash it does the job...foams nicely and the scent lingers on my skin for hours afterwards
Not hugely overpowering but it's there and smells yummy!
Can't really say much about a shower gel other than it smells good and makes bubbles
I've nearly finished it in only a few weeks...good sign as I can be slightly fickle with shower gels and often switch between a few!
This lovely scent comes in a body scrub and body butter
I may have to purchase these two products 
My main goal is to smell like a sugary lime ;)

Love
Belle

Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Plumping Lip Gloss

s&g_lipgloss_swatch

Sexy Mother Pucker Plumping Lip Glosses
Soap & Glory
£9.00 each (Full size, above photo mini)

For Christmas I received this set of miniature Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Glosses from Soap & Glory, a perfect way to try out the majority of colours on offer before shelling out the £9.00 for each full size product
The above five shades are all current in the S&G cosmetic line alongside another colour called Pink Apricot
Each shade has a different flavour:
Yummy Plum ~ Chocolate Raspberry
Half Naked ~ Buttered Popcorn
Transparent ~ Chocolate Orange
Candy Floss ~ Vanilla
Punch Bowl ~ Chocolate Cherry
I like this idea of different flavours and don't found them too overpowering which is a change as most synthetic flavours make me gag a little!
The lip glosses contain the superfill and lipswell lip plumping technologies
Once applied your lips begin to instantly tingle, being the first time I'd tried a plumping product this was a strange experience to begin with. 
I don't feel like I have naturally thin (or full to be honest) lips so never thought I needed plumping but since using these glosses I've been loving the subtle plump look my pout takes on

Have you tried a lip plumping product before?

Soap and Glory Whipped Clean Shower Butter

whipped

Soap and Glory
Whipped Clean Shower Butter
£8.00
Surprise surprise another Soap and Glory purchase
What can I say pretty packaging and yummy scents are my weakness
Could be worse!

whipped clean

This product is a combined body wash and butter
It's not hugely foaming as a body wash but it does clean well and smells amazing
Rather sweet but a yummy kind of sweet
It does however leave my skin so soft which is down to the cocoa and shea butters
Having both qualities in one product is amazing as on workday mornings I leave myself minimal time to get ready and maximum time in bed 
The scent as I said is on the smooth side but in a good way, a mixture of vanilla and almond
On mornings where I don't fancy something citrusy and zingy to wake me up this is perfect
Makes me hungry for sweet stuff though!

Have you tried the Soap and Glory Whipped Clean?

Soap and Glory Breakfast Scrub

breakfast scrub

Soap and Glory
Breakfast Scrub
£9.50

As I said in a previous post I've recently gotten into body scrubs and wanted to pick up the Soap and Glory Breakfast Scrub, so I did! 
Soap and Glory products are always on some kind of special offer in Boots, normally 3 for 2, so they are great value for money. 
As with all Soap and Glory products the packaging is super cute and looks great on top of bathroom cabinet alongside my other pretties...

breakfast scrub close

This stuff smells gorgeous! Like amazingly yummy
A mixture of maple and banana..mmmm
I love things that smell great especially in the shower
As far as a body scrub goes this is brilliant
Just scrubby enough to smooth my skin but not too abrasive on sensitive skin
The moisturising oils in the formulation leave your skin smooth and soft, combined with the scubbiness of capuacu bits.

Have you tried this yummy skin treat?

Love

Soap and Glory Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser

hot cloth

Soap and Glory Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser
£10.00

I seem to have a thing about purchasing hot cloth cleansers at the moment
After finally getting my mitts on the infamous Liz Earle cleanser (all be it the limited edition scent) I've been eager to try similar products
I love having that little bit of time to myself in the evenings having a good cleanse rather than my previous habit of just using a make up wipe on it's own..

I really enjoy using a lot of Soap and Glory's other products so I thought I'd give their version a go
As with other hot cloth cleansers a muslin cloth was included (I'm getting quite the collection now!) 
The product itself has panthenol, natural sweet almond, orange and lavendar essential hours in it so the scent is pleasant and not chemically at all
I find it in a similar league to the limited edition Liz Earle cleanser, a soothing, lightly fruity scent.
It takes my eye make up off really well too, some cleansers require a second dose of rubbing but this one does the trick in one go
My skin feels soft after and no residue is left behind on my skin

I'd most probably repurchase but considering there are so many cleansing products around I'll probably try a few more and see if I stumble across the holy grail product.

Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concelaer

kick ass con

Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer
Three part Concealer Kit
£10.00 Boots

'Soap & Glory™ Kick Ass™ Concealer is a three - piece flaw camouflaging kit that includes an amazing undereye brightening concealer, an 'on the spot' as-you-need-it complexion concealer, and a weightless transparent setting powder.'


I'm a sucker for cute packaging, as are a lot of people.
Soap and Glory has the cutest packaging on the drugstore market
It's mixture of retro with a simple colour pallet of pinks, gold, black and white is used throughout the range
I like the consistency this gives the range, I'm a geek with colour consistency but it bugs me if products don't match in the range.

concealer

The product itself is a three piece little concealer kit
Including two cream based products and one powder based
As you open the pot you flip up the top powder layer to get to steps 1 and 2 
The left hand side being step 1 and right hand side being step 2
I've got the kit in shade light as I'm super pale
The cream products have such a smooth consistency and they blend into the skin so effortlessly
Some cream concealers I've tried have been so hard it's hard to even get product out of the container
If I'm in a rush I just use one side and it's fine and good to go
Other days when I want something to last indefinitely I'll use both creams
According to Soap and glory the pinky toned of the two is an eye brightening concealer with PUFFEASE-8 technology, it works really well under the eye area and does have a brightening effect
I don't suffer from puffiness though so I can't comment on that bit
The other half has SUPERWEAR lightscrambling on the spot technology
To me this just means it's got really good coverage which it does

con

The third stage is the powder to set the concealer
It can feel a bit backward to set the concealer before putting foundation on and then proceeding to set that too so I've tried a few things
Firstly I gave it a go setting before the foundation but found my foundation didn't like mixing with powder
Then I tried just doing the cream products then applying my foundation and setting it all with my normal powder, this worked well but I wasn't benefiting from the actual stage three powder
The process I like the most is to apply foundation, cream concealers, setting powder and the powder concealer on the areas needed.
The powder has an INSTA-FIX technology in it so like I said I wanted to benefit from the powder's ways and have my concealer not budge

I love this concealer and will definitely be repurchasing
I did get this free whilst Boots have their 3 for 2 Autumn offer on but £10.00 doesn't seem too much for a decent product when you look at high end products and how much a mediocre concealer costs
I recently wore this for a 12 hour day at my Grandad's funeral and it held up through lots of crying and tissue dabbing so to me it's a real winner

Have you tried any of the Soap and Glory Make up range?
