A butter suite | Soap & Glory

Butters are by far my favourite type of moisturisers! I just love how thick & creamy they are, & how soft they leave your skin feeling. Being a Soap & Glory addict, their 'Butter Suite' was the perfect gift for me! 

Butter Suite is £15 & contains 3x150ml moisturisers - The Daily Smooth, Original Formula The Righteous Butter & Butter Up. All of which are gorgeous moisturisers & will keep you stocked up for a good while :) 

I personally don't see much of a difference between the three, apart from fragrance. However, they're all great so I don't mind. I've tried all 3 of them & they are all so moisturising. Even at the end of the day when I'm getting into bed, my legs & arms still feel silky smooth & smell lush :) My fella even comments on how smooth my skin is when I use these! 



Butter Up. As you can see this is the butter I'm currently using. Butter Up contains cocoa butter, sweet almond, shea butter, aloe vera, vitamin E, 5-fruit skin smoothers & grapeseed oil. If all of these in one pot can't care for your dry skin, I don't know what will! The fragrance for this butter is more on the fruity side; with notes of grape & citrus.


The Daily Smooth. This butter contains rosehip seed oil and cocoa butter. The fragrance is absolutely gorrrgeous! It smells like a really girly floral perfume. In fact, if you've smelt S&G's Mist You Madly body spray - it's exactly like that! 


Original Formula The Righteous Butter. This butter contain shea butter & aloe vera. I love this butter, I've used it for many years now. It's kinda like my original go-to moisturiser! To me, this is the original S&G scent. I have no other way  to describe it other than that! Most of you will know the scent I mean, those of you who don't - get yourself to the nearest Boots & have a sniff!

So there you go, the S&G butter suite! My fave in terms of moisturising is the Butter Up - how can it not be with all those ingredients. Whilst my fave scent is the Daily Smooth.

Have you guys tried any of these? Or maybe even some of the other S&G moisturisers?

Hope your all having a good week,

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?

Soap & Glory Girligo review

Girligo is a spray on moisturising mist I received in one of the many amazing Soap & Glory Christmas packages. I usually love all Soap & Glory products, however, I'm really unsure about this one.


As like all other S&G products the scent is amazing! & the product does what it says it will... moisturise & leave you with fragrant, softer skin. The issue I have is with the product design & its application. It is applied as a spray on, which is fine at first. However, once you have rubbed in the moisturiser on one area & try to spray it elsewhere it is almost impossible! The bottle is quiet slender, & with no grip, therefore with slippy moisturised hands this is a little bit of a challenge & the bottle usually ends up on the floor. Another issue I seemed to have with the spray on design was applying it to my legs. If the bottle isn't at an upright angle the spray doesn't work very well.

Another little disadvantage is the amount of mist required to moisturise. In order to cover an area, such as an arm or leg, I seem to need to spray quiet a lot before I have covered the area. So I feel like I'm using up loooads & the product isn't lasting very long. I'm not sure if this is just me though..? :S Below is a swatch of one spray.


Will I purchase this product again? I hate to say this about S&G, but probably not. I'd much prefer to buy another of their moisturising products; such as their Righteous Butter or Daily Smooth.

What moisturisers are you currently using?

Soap & Glory: Heel Genius review

I am guilty of wearing rubbish flat shoes, resulting in hard cracked heels. I hate this! Especially during the summer, when I'm wearing sandals & open heels. So, with the summer soon approaching I was in need of a new foot cream. After reading soo many positive reviews on Soap & Glory's Heel Genius I bought myself my first batch from Boots for £5.50.


First impressions of the product were great. It has a fresh smell and a blue-ish tint, which is a nice change from the usual creamy pink. For the first week of using this product I applied a generous amount all over my feet each night; making sure to massage it into my problem areas (the heels!). When applying the cream it soothes your feet with a cooling sensation; I'm guessing this is due to the methanol it contains. I then slipped on some cotton socks and went to bed. After the first week I applied the foot cream 2-3 times a week. Make sure to rub any excess into your hands and cuticles, it works a treat ;)


I have been using the product for about 3 weeks now & can see a massive difference! My feet are much smoother and heels aren't as hard or cracked (yayy)! I love the product just as much as the packaging. I'll deffo be buying more when I've ran out.

& to top it all off the product is only tested on humans. Bunnies don't have cracked heels, no need!

Bring on the summer :)
