A Very Soap and Glory Christmas









I don’t know if this applies to everyone, but for me and my family there is always one thing we get every year at Christmas, no matter what.  For my mum its slippers from M&S, for my dad it’s a fancy new belt, for my brother its mint matchsticks and for me it’s a Soap and Glory gift set.  Guess who the spoilt one in the family is.
This year i have been to Boots various times to study the variety of gift sets on offer from the brand, which by the way I am so in love with, not only is the packing interesting and quirky but the actual products are amazing.  I have seriously grown to love the make up range also, which I intend to blog about in the future.

On my 5th trip to Boots, things got a little crazy as S+G only went and announced their annual HALF PRICE offer, so I rang Santa (my mum) and asked if my favourite gift had been purchased, when she said no I said "ok I will get it for myself because the excitement is too much for me to walk away".

Since I treated myself to this, I have decided it is my right to chose not to wait until Christmas morning to enjoy, so I present to you..my idea of heaven…

Soap and Glory, Best of All - The ultimate head-to-toe indulgence kit.  (*SCREAMS)// was £60, now £27

With 9 different products and numerous 2013 discount vouchers this amazingness is topped off by coming in a brilliant case, not unlike the one I got last year from the S+G, which is so good for storing all your beauty products and also for carrying all your stuff when going to a friends house to get ready.  The one I got two years ago was a hat box, surprisingly, I don't keep hats in it.

Inside the case you get, 

The Righteous Butter - body butter-   I have used this for 2 years now, its great.
Hand Food - Hand Cream -   So handy to keep in your handbag on at your desk in work
Sugar Crush- body scrub-   smells amazing and so good at exfoliating and removing old fake tan
Clean on me- shower gel-  I also use this as bubble bath
Smoothie Star- body milk -   I have not yet tried this, but it smells so good
Heel Genius- foot mask-   Il be honest, I hate feet so I give this to my mum every year
Peaches & Clean - cleansing milk-   again smells amazing, great at cleansing and removing make up 
Sexy Motherpucker -lip plumper in punch bowl -   I LOVE this, I have no lips so its great for me, I have only ever used nude so I am so glad to now have a new colour
Thick & Fast - super volume mascara-   SO excited to try this as I know the S+G make up range is good, I will be sure to blog about this.

I have pictured the three products I am most excited about using.

OK that was a chatty post, I am off to pamper myself silly….and I think you should too....go see more Soap and Glory gift sets here and treat yourself or someone you love who likes to share.

I LOVE CHRISTMAS xx

November Favourites





Sooo..I know I'm late and its December and my OCD is shouting at me right now but I'm a busy girl, so happy December everyone, here are my NOVEMBER favourite buys.

Johnson's Fragrance Free Facial Cleansing Wipes - I am OBSESSED with Johnson's make up wipes, they are by far the best face wipes I've ever used in my life...I sound dramatic, but its true!  The mean thing I love about them is how moist they are, I hate when wipes dry out so much that I feel i need two to fully wipe my face, there is not chance of that happening with these.  As I have quite sensitive skin I thought i would try these fragrance free ones, to be honest they do exactly the same job as any of the other wipes from Johnson's except they don't really smell as nice, they just kind of smell like nothing. 

Boots Vitamin E eye cream - I am getting old...lets not talk about it...but I am and so naturally I am beginning to obsess about lines around my eyes, I also suffer from sleepy looking eyes, so I saw this little eye cream in boots and it was only around £2.99 I think so i thought why not?  I have been using it for a month now and can't say I see a hugh difference but I like it, I feel I am doing my eyes some good on a daily basis by feeding them vitamins.

Palmers Cocoa Butter Firming Butter - Ok, this is amazing.  I am a hugh fan of the whole cocoa butter range and think every girl needs to try it, the smell is unreal and you will want to lick your skin, warning, other people may also want to lick your skin.  This firming lotion has been amazing, I'm using it on my thighs every day and its worked wonders. BUY IT!!

Soap and Glory Pulp Fiction Body Scrub- this is my favourite body scrub of all time, I buy it again and again and again, it smells fruity and really does give your skin a proper scrub, it is brilliant and taking off fake tan and leaves you feeling so soft.

Benefit Cha Cha Tint- I love winter, and I strangely love the winter look, what I mean by this is having pale skin (I've no choice there) and reddened cheeks like you just came in from the cold, this is why i buy this product, it stains my cheeks a lovely colour of coral.  I also think it looks amazing on my lips cause I am loving peach lips at the minute.

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow Liner - you may have seen this in my 'Contents: My Face' post a while back, it is one of my favourite new find ever and I don't go a day without putting it on.  Its  perfect as a shadow or as a liner, its so shimmery and natural in colour if you like having a pale subtle eye.  I have had this since the summer, used it every day and it is not even half used.  AMAZING!!!

Last but not least...

Topshop Highlighter Sunbeam - When i was in London recently i decided i wanted to have shiny cheeks (as you do) as my face is very naturally matte, so i picked this up and i am so glad i did, it gives my cheeks and any other areas i may use it on a lovely gold shimmer, one thing i would say is next time i am going to try and get a lighter one so its more white/silver looking.

Sorry that was a long read, took longer than I thought, I hope you liked my November favourites.  Leave me links to yours and I will have a read.
