Review: Soap and Glory 'Sugar Crush' Body Wash

Hi girls. Friday at last! Today's post is heavily related to the one that I wrote yesterday as it is about another product from the 'Sugar Crush' line by Soap and Glory. [Yesterday's post: link]. The line is fairly new and is a little different from their standard 'pink' range with the girly and floral smells, as this one is more citrusy and fresh. The Sugar Crush only contains 3 products at the moment: the body scrub, the body wash, and the body butter. If they bring out a 'lotion' as opposed to a 'butter' in the form of this smell then I'm going to be dropping everything and running straight to Boots for it. **(I wrote that sentence and then saw that it says on the bottle to 'follow with a similarly scented lotion or butter' - does the lotion already exist?!)

I was so happy when I bought this a few weeks ago and it was certainly 650 Boots points well spent! I popped it in my shower as soon as I got home and the humongous fluroescent pink and yellow bottle certainly brightened things up in there. As I just said, the bottle is absolutely massive, and I like that it has a pump dispenser so there's no hassle, no mess and no waste when using this in the shower And no slippy hands dropping bottles on toes..

The formula is rich and creamy and foams up to create a really lovely lather than cleans the skin well without stripping it of moisture and it leaves the skin conditioned and nourished after use. It is a similar scent to the scrub that I was talking about yesterday; it's really fresh and 'zesty', it's got a real 'wake me up' feel to it. Absolutely perfect to use first thing in the morning to perk you up out of your zombie state and every so often throughout the day I catch a little hint of the scent from my body.



I don't know if it makes me sound like a little bit of a loon that I have gone so ga-ga over a body scrub and a shower gel, but there's just something about Soap and Glory that they just keep getting right! They keep on bringing out these fabulous products that I just cannot get enough of.

Have you tried the Sugar Crush range yet?

Quick Reviews: Soap and Glory Minis

Hiya girls, I hope your first full working week of 2013 isn't going too bad, and if it is well then maybe this will help to give you a little bit of inspiration to have a pamper evening later on today and make everything better again!

 

Recently, Soap and Glory products have absolutely dominated my bedroom and bathroom - they are everywhere I look! Out of curiousity, I gathered them together and counted them all up and found that I had 22 S&G products(!), although 4 of them are 'Hand Food' (handy little back up stash!). I thought that this little collection of minis would be a good place to start with talking about them all, as these three fit together so well as a scrub, a wash and a moisturiser.

Most of Soap and Glory's minis or travel size versions of their products cost just £2.50 and are available from Boots instore and online (link). The minis are great for so many reasons: 1) they are cheap and cheerful in the same cute and quirky packaging as the original sizes, but they're double as cute just because they're small, 2) if you're new to Soap and Glory it's a good way to try something out for the first time if you're not sure whether you'll be keen on it, 3) if you like to chop and change products so often you'd never get through a larger bottle (this is me all over), 4) they're perfect for stocking fillers and gifts, and 5) they're handy for travel, holidays, etc.

'Flake Away' Body Scrub (£2.50 / 50ml)

This is a gentle body polish with shea butter, almond oil, peach, sea salt, and sugar that can be scooped out and massaged into the skin to exfoliate anyway dryness and leaves it feeling nourished and smooth, and smelling absolutely amazing. It smells girly and floral, but at the same time like a buttered peach. I'll warn you the tub is a slippery little one though - twice I've dropped the entire pot in the bath while trying to use it!

'Clean, Girls' Creamy Body Wash (£2.50 / 75ml)

I absolutely adore this creamy body wash, and I don't think I'd ever go back to a normal shower gel ever again. With a built-in moisturising matrix, this skin softening cream makes it feel like you're washing yourself with a moisturiser. Releasing a thick and luxurious lather, with a scent to match 'Mist You Madly', this body wash leaves the skin clean and fresh, super soft but with no residue and smelling like a dream.

 

'The Daily Smooth' Body Butter (£2.50 / 50ml)

This is a 'dry skin formula' body butter with rosehip seed oil and cocoa butter for extra soft, smooth and nourished skin. It is intensely moisturising and is a fairly thick and creamy consistency, but sinks quickly into the skin and doesn't leave any greasiness behind. With typical comical quotes on the packaging such as "do or dry" and again, a scent to match 'Mist You Madly' this body butter is an all around winner.
