Soap & Glory | Sugar Crush

Sugar Crush is one of Soap & Glory's delightful body scrubs. I bought this in Boots when they had the 3 for 2 Soap & Glory offer on, man I love those deals... But usually it's £8 a pop.

The first thing I'll talk about is the ingredients & the smell. This scrub contains smashed brown sugar, sweet lime, almond oil & macadamia grains. With all these mixed together you can only imagine how lush it smells. It's quite obvious from the list of ingredients, but it smells like a sweet, sugary lime. Mmm.

Now down to the nitty gritty... quite literally. I am really enjoying using this scrub & it definitely leaves my skin feeling smoother & softer. However, the scrub I was using before this was Soap & Glory's Flake Away, & I feel that did a much better job as an exfoliator. Flake Away just seemed to be a lot more gritty & therefore worked that little bit harder to get rid of my dead skin. If I could take the smell of Sugar Crush & mix it with the texture of Flake Away, I'd be in exfoliator heaven!

So for those of you who, like myself, prefer a more intense body scrub I would suggest going with Flake Away. But for those who prefer a softer scrub, Sugar Crush is for you :)

I am yet to find a Soap & Glory product that I don't rate! Have any of you guys tried any of their other body scrubs?

LUSH | Ceridwens Cauldron

Like 99% of the female population I am in love with Lush! Every single time I walk past - 'oo, I'll just have a little look inside' - even though I've already examined absolutely everything! I can't help it, Lush is.. well, lush!

My darling sister, knowing me very well, bought me a few things from Lush for my birthday. You can see my  birthday haul here :) One of the things she bought me was ceridwens cauldron, which I'd never tried before.

Ceridwens cauldron is a luxury bath melt that comes wrapped in its own muslin bag. You just pop it under a hot tap whilst you're running your bath. The hot water melts the cocoa butter, which in turn releases sandalwood, tangerine & rose oil. 

So here comes my truthful review... hmm, I'm really 50/50 about this product. My skin did feel really soft after using this in my bath, but I just didn't think it was anything amazing! I don't have a very good sense of smell, due to crappy allergies. So I couldn't really appreciate the scents that were being released. Maybe this is why it didn't blow me away..? I also think that it's a little expensive for what it is. Unlike some of the Lush bath products, which you can break up & use at different times, the ceridwens cauldron can only be used once. & for £3.99 I think I'd want 2-3 baths out of it. Or is this just me being cheap??

I hate to write a semi-negative review, especially when it's about Lush! But these are just my opinions. Next on my list to try out is the comforter, which I've heard so many good things about!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend :)
