Soap & Glory Cosmetics

I decided I'd make the most of Boots 3for2 offer so popped in and went straight to the Soap&Glory stand!

I love Soap&Glory have used there products for years, but never had any of their cosmetics (other than a 'Sexy Motherpucker' and the 'Trick & Treatment concealer')

I've heard good things about the cosmetic range, and I'm not one that likes to miss out, so I thought I'd give it a go!

My choices were as follows;


  • 'One heck of a Blot'  Super-translucent mattifying powder (with puff) for all skin tones

          '' Ultra light smooth velevty finish''  priced at £12.00 for 9mg find it here

  • 'Kick Ass Concealer' 3 piece flaw camouflage kit. (with puff)    *Under eye brightening concealer with PUFFEASE 8.  *SUPERWEAR lightscramble face concealer.  *Concealer sealing powder with INSTAFIX polymer technology. Priced at £10.00 for 2x2.6g find it here

Mid week mini pamper session :)

So tonight felt like the perfect night for a pamper,
we all get tied down and pre-occupied with kids, work, family life etc and as i've said before its very important to take some time out for yourself, even half an hour once a week can make a massive difference.

So tonight I decided to take half an hour for me!! :)

I made myself a cup of tea, ran a lovely hot bubble bath, and while waiting for it to fill I set to with the nightly facial cleanse:
First I massaged in the lovely Loreal '15 second miracle cleansing oil' to remove all my make up (which was minimal anyway),washed off thouroughly with a flannel,
I then massaged in the gorgeous smelling nspa 'melting cleansing gel', and used my No7 'Facial cleansing brush' all over my face and neck, again washed off thouroughy with flannel,
I then applied the SuperFacialist by Una Brennan  'rose hydrate intense moisture mask' smells divine this stuff does (who knew i liked the smell of roses?) 
So far so good, face is cleansed and luxuriating in a new mask, so I hop in the bath and set to for the rest of me, after a quick soak I don my bright pink scrubbing gloves, lather up and manually exfoliate all over, I add a little of Soap & Glory's 'pulp friction body scrub' and go again, once satisfied I rinse off and decide to use the boyf's BullDog 'original shave gel' - well, he hasnt bothered using it and it was just sitting there, now I never normally use a shave gel, but thought i'd try it and see if it makes a difference, it does, it definitely does, this one is packed with essential oils and has a cooling/zingy effect when applied, smells fresh, not bad.
All defuzzed and exfoliated, its time to remove the mask, I soak my flannel and massage it off, it hasnt 'set' like most masks do, but has kept a firm, creamy texture, and removes easily, my skin definitely feels hydrated, after it being a little dry lately this is very welcome, and this mask will make its way into my weekly routine! ( I also use the rose hydrate calming creamy cleanser on rotation, love it!)
I round up by moisturising my body with my amazing tub of 100% pure coconut oil, utterly delicious stuff that works for literally EVERYTHING, apply my Rana Argan Oil to my face, then massage in Ila face oil (which contains only hand blended natural oils) and the smell is to die for i tell you!!! and top it off with LP Skin Therapy overnight replenishing cream, and for the hands L'occitane dry skin hand cream

So i'm now all cosied up in my PJ's and slipper socks, my skin feels amazingly soft and supple, and i feel ready for a lovely sleep!

So goodnight guys, hope you enjoyed this post!

Make time for you, be happy :)

Balance Me - face mask review


I've been feeling a little out of sorts and totally drained for a while, so tonight I decided to give myself a mini pamper session.
So off I toddle upstairs, I start my cleanse routine of L'Oréal 15 second miracle oil, and decide to apply my new balance Me radiance face mask while I take a shower.
Now this stuff smells just gorg, (I'm no good at describing scents, so I won't confuse you) but I like it! 
So I massage with circular motions *as per instructions* all over my face, and the exfoliant (walnut shells) get to work, I hop in the shower, which lasts about 20 minutes (the instructions say to leave for 5) as I'm doing a full body scrub using my absolute fave 'Soap & Glory' scrub, *heaven*  but I always like to leave things a little longer, once finished I set to washing the face mask off,  once fully rinsed off I gently pat dry and finish off my cleanse with REN clarifying toner, then apply Rana Argan Oil.
I feel smoother, soft & plump, theres a lovely scent lingering ever so slightly, me and my face feel a lot happier, a little less stressed and down in the dumps!!

Its so important to make time for yourself, even half an hour can do wonders.

Treat yourselves

I love this pproduct, I will definitely be making it part of my weekly routine! 
Thank you balance Me
