Theres nothing quite as nice as being Clean, Girls ...

Monday, 28 March 2011

Today i'm reviewing Soap & Glory's Clean, Girls - Skin, Softening Creamy Body Wash. I've been using this a couple of times a week since i got it for Christmas and the first thing about this product i'd like to point out is that i have only used a quarter of the 500ml bottle so a little really does go a long way :)

The lovely tall bottle features Soap & Glory's signature pink retro packaging and has a squirty pump nozzle.

The body wash is a gorgeous white/creamy colour with a pearlescent edge and smells absolutely divine! It is scented with my favourite 'Mist You Madly' fragrance (see previous post here). It lathers up really well and creates a whole bunch of luxurious bubbles.

Another great feature is that it has a 'built-in moisturising maxtrix' (whatever that is!?) which means that after using this wash you can skip moisturising after bathing if you wish. I'm pretty lazy and hardly ever moisturise my body after showering so this gets a big thumbs up from me! My skin does feel soft after use and the scent isn't strong but does linger on your skin throughout the day (if you team it with the Mist You Madly body spray then you can pro-long the gorgeous fragrance!)

You can pick this up in Boots or online for £5.50 for 500ml (remember it lasts a long time so the price is worth it!)

I've just finished browsing the Soap & Glory website and am now lusting after 'Wish Upon A Jar' - 21 Day Collagen Overhaul Cream.

What are you guys lusting over at the mo?

Lush!

Monday, 21 February 2011

So i recently had a birthday and my sister got me some delicious Lush products. Up until a few months ago i had never tried any of their products but was bought some for Christmas and adored them! I'm really looking forward to getting a few more bits in the near future and have a 10% discount voucher to use so will definately be stocking up!

Out of this World

How neat is the packaging! My sis got me the Out of This World giftset which includes a soap bar and one of Lush's famous 'Bath Ballistic' fizzy bath bombs. As you can see from the pics the products come boxed and wrapped up in space inspired wrapping paper. Once opened the two products lay inside the box on a bed of 'popcorn'!

And the products inside the gorgeous packaging are even cuter!

Rock Star Soap
I dont usually use soap and tend to favour shower gels as i find soaps dry my skin out and leaves a squeaky sheen over my skin so i was unsure whether i'd like the Rock Star Soap .... it is adorable though! It has the most amazing scent .... the Lush website claims for the soap bar to be vanilla. It took me a couple of uses to identify what the smell was and then it hit me.... Parma Violets (remember the little purple tablet sweets!) Gorgeous! The soap bar cleans well and although the smell is divine it isnt long lasting but i would defiantely purchase again :)

Space Girl Bath Ballistic

I absolutely adore Lush's Bath Ballistic fizzy bombs! I first tried one at Christmas when i recieved a Christmas Pudding fizzy bomb. I've tried lots of different bath bombs in the past and most of them loose their fizz after a few moments in the water and you have to tease the bomb and help it to disintegrate. With Lush's Bath Ballistics this is not the case...they completely break up, fizz and froth all on their own. The Space Girl Bath Ballistic was a gorgeous grapefruit flavour (although this also smelt like Parma Violets just like the soap bar - maybe this has something to do with them being stored side by side unwrapped in the box?). It turned the bath water purpley blue in colour and had glitter mixed throughout the bomb. A great little treat to jazz up bath times!!


Do you have any suggestions of what to try next?
