Soap and Glory

Everyone loves this brand, and if they dont they are crazy! because i haven't met a girl who doesn't love the products with their beautiful fragrance. 
I have tried near enough every single product from shower gels, to make up. A bit of everything. So it wasn't a surprise then when i went into Boots and saw 3 for 2 was on that i went straight to the soap and glory section. I picked up 2 products from the brand,
- Sugar Crush Body Wash
- Clean Girls Body Wash
yes they both dont sound to exciting, but are wonderful. I haven't ever tried the clean girls one, but it smells quite nice. The sugar crush one is my all time favourite  It smells like lime, its so sweet and fruity. Just beautiful.
They were both £6.50 each, which is quite expensive; but its 100% worth it. They last forever, weeks and weeks. The product that just keeps going. With it being a pump dispenser it saves on a lot of waste.

Spots!

That time of the month AGAIN.... how us females suffer each time it comes around. Cravings for chocolate, making us fat and when we dont get it straight away we become horrible and miserable. People around us moan about the way we are being horrible. And the spots! 
The spots is my point for this post today. I cant cope with my skin at the moment. Its Disgusting. 
I woke up this morning to about ten spots in a big circle on my chin. Maybe it wouldnt of been so bad if they were postioned in different places on my face, but NO that doesn't happen ; not to people with my luck anyway. 

I havent had a bad outbreak of big red spots since school, yes i do get spots but not this many at one time in one place. I think the stress of moving has made my skin terrible so now its the lady time again, its just gone to pot. 
That 12 year old skin again with acne when you went to school and people picked on you, its that all over again without the childish behaviour. 
Does anyone else suffer badly?? If so every month, or does it come and go??

Wish List- Skin Care

I don't really think many people have a skin care ' wish list' I do, if I had unlimited money I would need to buy a separate house for everything because I'm that obsessed and that lame both at the same time. 
I'd love to have great skin, my face is freckly with big pores and blemishes constantly. 
I want to try a new moisturisers because i love using one, its a nice treat for the face but is also something so simple. 
i want to try the ' sanctuary illuminating moisture lotion ' 
this also has SPF 15 in it. that's always a bonus when the sun comes out ( in this country about once every four years ) I burn really easy because i have really fair skin so i try to look after my skin as best as possible, because i don't brown. i go red and then peel, and that is never good for the skin. 
I've only tried a few things from this brand, but have liked all the ones I've tried. I was a huge soap&glory fan last year, and still really do love some of their products and would always repurchase a certain few, but right now i really like this brand!

I've put the link in because if you check it out quickly, there is a great offer on!

As i said above i was a huge soap&glory fan.. but there is one product i haven't tried and cannot wait to get my hands on, its the ' soap&glory deep purifying hot cloth cleanser' I've heard great things about this!! never a bad thing, and really want to branch out and try different cleansers because there is no good just trying one.

I've inserted the link for this one too because its also on a promotion at the moment! 

I'm also going to mention the brand 'Freederm' because i really want to try something different from the brand i have tried a few things, they have been good but not that good that i constantly keep them in my skin care routine. But i haven't given up on the brand so if you've tried something great from the range then let me know so i can try something different!!

Face Masks - part 2

I decided to split to post into two because, i didn't want it to be extra long and drag on ; and also i thought i would do the tubes on a separate post. Also these aren't higher end but are obviously more expensive than £1.


I'm going to start off with an Avon product, It's actually a little gift set that i received for Christmas. But is a really good idea to try out different masks without buying the tube and then not liking it, So this was a great present idea. 
As you can see I've posted a photo of the actual packing it came in and what came with it. 12 sample ' planet spa ' face masks. I like the fact there is 3 different ranges to try out. I've not used all of these yet because i am constantly changing up my skin care routine and i think these are nice little travel friendly sized masks. As i said in the previous post to me a mask that has one use is silly, but i disagree on these because i think it's a lovely gift idea and you have a little bit of choice. 
All 3 of these masks are really good, 
- Thailand Lotus Flower Deep Pore Cleansing Face Mask
- Dead Sea Minerals Facial Mud Mask
- Mediterranean Olive Oil Hydrating Face Mask
I think this is a great gift and i really do like all 3 masks it comes with, I'm pretty sure you can buy the masks singular. I do really like these but maybe will not buy again afterwards because they are so hard to get your hands on. 

Next up


This is and isn't a face mask, it's actually a scrub but can be used as a mask. It's the ' Soap & Glory, Scrub Your Nose In It '
I was really excited to try this stuff, but i was very disappointed. The product is great does great things to your skin ( which is obviously what we want it to do ) but the smell is so strong. It stinks of mint, and just reminds me of toothpaste. No one wants to rub toothpaste all over their face. It actually looks like it too, It's a greeny blue colour. 
Overall though it is actually a good skin product, but for a 'Soap & Glory ' product you expect it to have the usual smell and this just surprised me. I actually bought it from www.amazon.co.uk a while ago because my local Boots didn't have any in and i was that excited to try it, so maybe if i had smelt it in the store i wouldn't of purchased it, but i did. Maybe if they change the horrible fragrance i will try it again, but it was too overpowering and stung my eyes. 

Nextttt

This next one is actually a really new one i have purchased so really its cheating putting it in here but i cant do a face mask post and not include all the ones around my house. This was an impulse buy, i hadn't read any reviews i literally went into the shop saw that it was on offer and thought ' ill have this ' afterwards when i left the shop i realised how much the product was full price. £10 is a little steep for me, but if its good enough maybe i can justify it. 
It's The ' Sanctuary 5 minute thermal detox mask ' maybe some of you have tried it. I've used it once so cant really comment but the one time i have used it i quite enjoyed it. I don't really think it has a scent. Its really thick consistency but it left my skin really smooth and that what i like, i like to feel it doing something. 


Usa- Basically i think you could find all of these products online, Ebay or amazon will more than likely sell them. Maybe difficult to find, but you can. To be completely honest i dont know if you can be find any of these in shops! Let me know if you can. I've tried my best to find things out but obviously i only have ' Google ' to find out.

Wave!

I went into town today, and I finally bought something that I've had my eye on for ages! ' nutregeona wave ' I've seen so many bloggers talk about it. And obviously have seen it advertised on the tv. 
      I'm writing this post in two halves, well that's the plan, the purchase and then the review on what I think about it and if it's worth buying etc. 
This is obviously what the product looks like in it's packaging.

It looks very different and fun ish to use, instead of a normal cleanser or face wash. It makes it a bit of a change and quite exciting to see if it'll work. 
When you first open it obviously it has the main thing, then 14 extra pads and batteries, and decent batteries too not cheap ones that will run out straight away. Which is obviously quite good. 
I actually bought this along with 30 spare pads from ' home bargains ' you have to change the pad after every use so obviously you need a few stocked up if you want to use it often. 
The product was £2.99 which was amazing! And the pads were 99p! It makes you think how much superdrug and places must earn from things like this! It's crazy 
I used this product tonight, and love it, it doesn't soap up too much, and has made my skin feel so soft it's insane!, I love it. Let's hope that it helps with my bad pores and my spots! Fingers crossed but love what I have done so far! It seems to do miracles! :D I recommend it so far xD 
Thanks for reading everyone!
