What girl doesn't need all the Soap & Glory she can get and my latest Boots purchases definately satisfies this. With most of the beauty products on 3 for 2 at Boots lately I realised this could be very dangerous on the purse strings, but I managed to show some restraint and came away with only three products and these all happened to be Soap & Glory. I'm not sure what gravitated me to the Soap & Glory section, maybe its their funky retro packaging and amazing smell combinations, but once I was there I quickly found three products that I wanted.
The product that I actually knew I wanted from Soap & Glory was the Sugar Crush Body Scrub, I've heard great things about this scrub and I didn't have a body scrub on the go so I thought I'd give this one a try. The best thing about this product has to be the smell, sweet sugary goodness is how I can best describe it, but next time you're in a Boots just go have a sniff because it just smells so damn good! I have only used this product a few times so I won't comment too much on what I think of it as a scrub, but I will say that it is not a harsh in texture, which is something I need with sensitive skin. When you use it is doesn't feel like it might be ripping away layers of skin and the scrubby chunks in it are surrounded is a creamy gloop making it a pleasure to use, so far so good.
The next product that caught my eye was the Arch de Triumph double ended brow pencil, before this I didn't own a brow pencil as I just used a brown eye shadow if I ever used anything through my brows which was on a rare occassion, but the double ended functionability of this just appealed to me. The downside is that it only comes in one colour but I have found it blends in with my brow colour which is a light brown but it wouldn't be suitable for someone with dark dark brown brows. The other end is a highlighter for your brow bone and for quick everyday makeup this is just a great little tool.
I had to hunt around a bit for the third product and wasn't quite sure what I wanted and for some unknown reason I went for the face mask, The Fab Pore, after reading the packaging I wasn't sure if this was right for me and I have the Aesop parsley seed mask on my wishlist as a clarifying mask, but I thought as it's essentailly the free item I'd try this one to see how my dry skin deals with it. And so far it's been alright, not the best mask ever and by what it says on the packaging describing it as a 'facial peel' you will be surprised as to what the product is actually like. It is thick, white and creamy with little blue dots that as you massage it onto your face burst, so not a peel at all! But I will report back after using this product for a few months as there isn't any instant effects to talk about and I have only used it twice.
