Face Soap and Clarity

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet! I bought this as soon as it was out, and I was SO EXCITED.

FACE SOAP AND CLARITY: for super clean, fresh and bright skin. It's a 3-in-1 foaming face wash to cleanse, detoxify and exfoliate tired, dull skin! It has vitamin C and superfruit plum skin brightening complex.

As with all Soap & Glory products, the tube doesn't lie: it IS brilliant for flaky, dry skin. It's actually a lot less harsh than a normal exfoliator which I really like - you don't end up looking raw after a quick scrub. It is essentially a face wash with exfoliating beads in it, which gently exfoliate the dry skin on your face as you scrub! And of course, the Vitamin C & superfruit plum complex help to make your skin bright and happy!

It is a pretty foamy facewash and it makes your skin feel great! I couldn't get along with the scent at first, but it's really grown on me. It's fresh and fabulous. And if it makes my skin look good, who am I to complain?

Soap & Glory recommend this particularly for "young problem skin" and "tired, dull skin in need of rejuvenation", and I'd recommend this for all skin types! If you want to really treat your skin, I'd recommend using its fabulous companion Clear Here, which is especially recommended for oily/combination skin types.

Face Soap and Clarity is available at Boots, £6.13

Clear Here cleansing cloths

I've got a super special review for you all! Soap & Glory are bringing out some FANTASTIC cleansing cloths for the Clear Here range. These are suitable for oily/combination skin types - perfect for my skin! They're called... CLEAR HERE DEEP PORE PURIFYING T-ZONE CLEANSING CLOTHS. Or Clear Here cleansing cloths, for short.

I've only been using these wipes for FOUR DAYS and I'm already in love with them. Soap & Glory has DONE IT AGAIN...

These cleansing cloths have "Poreshrink-4 complex for a smooth, clearer, fresher face". With lemongrass, mandarin, and orange essential oils, they're pretty nifty sounding, and smell great. It smells similar to Clear Here and Face Soap & Clarity, so if you like their scents you'll be pleased with this one! It's very soapy-smelling. I do like the fresh, tingly feeling it leaves on your skin, and it's not so tingly that it puts you off the product. Apparently the tingling is the Poreshrink-4 complex working its magic... That's fine by me!

As for cleansing, they're great! They remove my makeup just as well as the Off Your Face wipes (did I review those yet? No? Oops... coming soon!) and leave my skin feeling really soft and smooth. I get dry skin on my forehead actually, and these have really helped on the days where I don't exfoliate! With Off Your Face wipes I find they're quite moist - sometimes a little TOO moist. These are just right! And of course they come in a BRIGHT PINK packet - it goes perfectly with all the other S&G things in my bathroom...

I have to say, for maximum effect, you should definitely use these alongside Face Soap & Clarity and Clear Here. It is FAB. My skin is lovely and smooth at the minute. And as I have combination skin, my skin can appear slightly shiny during the day - it is ALREADY starting to ease up. I don't wear foundation much and often forget about the powder, so it's nice that I don't have to worry so much.

I predict that these will be a HUGE HIT with all the other combo skin girls and guys out there - I love that S&G is trying to cater for all skin types. :-) There are 25 wipes in the packet, so there are plenty to go around!

I am not sure about pricing or availability details yet, but KEEP YOUR EYES GLUED to https://www.facebook.com/SoapandGlory for the latest news and updates.

Mist You Madly

I can't believe I haven't done a post on this yet! Easily my favourite fragrance EVER, I actually don't use any other body spray now - just this one. It's become "my scent".

A flirty, floral, fragrant body spray featuring notes of Bergamot, Blackcurrant, Magnolia, Freesia, Vanilla and Musk.

The smell is very yummy, and can be detected in other products such as Clean Girls, The Daily Smooth and Scrub Em and Leave Em. For extra oomph use all three after a shower! I think it's very much a summery scent and I love it! The bottles last a long time; a squirt or two is all I need and the smell lasts for most of the day. You could try spraying it in your hair to make it last longer (as it'll carry the scent better).

A standard size bottle is 250ml, but they have also released a separate travel sized version (100ml), which is the perfect size for handbags. There's no excuse for not smelling good at all times! The travel sized version was previously only available in gift sets, so I'm really pleased they've decided to release it as part of the travel sized collection (which I will be reviewing VERY soon!) The bottle itself is pink (who would have guessed??) and has a spray nozzle. It's perfect!

If you like the Mist You Madly scent, I'd highly recommend buying Eau de Soap & Glory (available from Boots, £15.83), which is essentially the same smell in perfume form - with super pretty packaging!

Soap & Glory declare it a "flash of fabulous", and I absolutely agree!

Mist You Madly is available in a standard 250ml size for £6.13, and a travel sized 100ml for £3.11 from Boots.

Soap & Glory: Hand Food

I absolutely LOVE Hand Food, and I can't believe I have written a review about it yet. Currently, I own 4 mini versions, two pump bottle versions (from the Christmas duo Hand Break), and 6 full sized ones. Addicted? A little bit. But it's just so good!

Hand Food™ is a silky soft non-greasy hand cream with shea butter, macadamia oil and marshmallow.

It comes in two sizes as I've mentioned - a 50ml (mini) version, and a standard 125ml. The mini version is perfect for handbags and pockets, and even travel - so there's no excuse to leave your hands dehydrated when you're on holiday!

The ingredients are a great combination of shea butter, macadamia oil, and marshmallow; shea butter and macadamia oil are perfect for dry skin! I'm not sure where marshmallow comes into it, but it sounds yummy all the same.

It comes in a pink tube and has the original pink scent - perfect! What I really like about Hand Food is that it absorbs really quickly. It is really quick to work, and my hands start to feel softer within hours of using it. My hands dry out easily so Hand Food is a gift from the Gods, in my opinion!

Hand Food features in a lot of the Soap & Glory gift sets and, given how good it is, I'm really not surprised! I think every guy and girl out there should own Hand Food. As the mini version is only £2.35, there is NO excuse for dry hands! Get down to Boots and "mend a hand", as the Soap & Glory team would say!

You can buy Mini Hand Food (50ml) from Boots for £2.35, and the full sized version (125ml) at Boots for £4.85. Unfortunately, Hand Break is not on sale at the moment but you might be able to find it on eBay.

Soap and Glory: Hand Maid

As you know, I'm currently working night shifts in a supermarket. Yep. 9pm until 7am. It's not great, and my hands get COVERED in filth and various substances, including jam, chutney, syrup, juice etc. So when I saw HAND MAID in Boots, I HAD to get it.

Here are the reasons why you must buy Hand Maid:
* It smells GREAT!
* It dries really quickly
* It's travel sized, perfect for handbags and pockets
* IT'S ONLY £2.50!
* And the biggie: it KILLS 99% of known bacteria.

Hand Maid is an anti-bacterial cleansing gel, and it smells absolutely gorgeous. I really like that it comes with a flip top rather than having a lid you have to push down.

I love the size of Hand Maid: it's easy enough to slip into your pocket or handbag, and I carry mine around in my jacket pocket so I can use it whilst on the shop floor - it's really handy! It means if I have an accidental spillage I don't need to waste time going to the loos, I can just have a little squirt of HAND MAID and my hands feel fresh again.

The gel represents the Soap & Glory brand perfectly: it's PINK. And it smells good, as I've already mentioned. It has a summery grapefruit scent, and it's definitely one of the best anti-bacterial gels I've used. I say Hand Maid is a gel, but it certainly doesn't feel like one when you rub it in - it seems to almost evaporate from your hands, so you don't get that nasty, sticky feeling afterwards. It's like you've just washed your hands, really! Soap & Glory weren't kidding with the description that it is quick dry, easy to use!

Hand Maid doesn't dry your hands out, which I think is great, and the best thing about it of course is that it kills bacteria. I don't have to worry about all nasty germs lurking on all my surfaces: I just call my Hand Maid and the bacteria scurry away. This product is a must-have for anyone, and at £2.50 it isn't going to break the bank. Get down to Boots and get YOUR Hand Maid - she's waiting for you!

Hand Maid is available from Boots, £2.50.

Soap & Glory: Feel Good Factor

I promised the girls over on the Soap & Glory Facebook page that I'd review Feel Good Factor and Hand Maid (coming shortly!). I bought this about a week and a half ago and it cost me £8 - normal price is £12, so I'm glad I bought it whilst there was an offer on! It's worth the £12 price tag though, so don't let it deter you from buying it!

Now, let's get to why I LOVE this product!

* It smells fantastic.
* It absorbs really quickly!
* It doesn't feel greasy on your skin
* It doesn't make your skin shiny!
* IT HAS SPF 25!

If you can't tell already, I do actually love this product. I tend to use a lot of product when it comes to moiturisers with SPF, but this is fantastic - I really don't need to use a lot. The consistency is light and it spreads easily without dripping everywhere. Of course, you do need to keep reapplying it which could be a pain if you've got makeup on, but I say less is more - let your skin breathe, ladies! (If you're a guy this may or may not apply to you...)

And the SPF is GREAT. Most SPF facial moisturisers come with a maximum of SPF 15, so it's nice to have something a bit higher. What I really love about S&G is that they actually LISTEN to their customers and what the customers want. It's great!

In the past I haven't got along with SPF products for the face. I used to spray suncream on it for higher protection but to be honest, it made my face sticky, greasy, shiny, and red: I was allergic to it. Since using Feel Good Factor I haven't had ANY of these problems, so as a sensitive-skin user I give this product a HUGE thumbs up! I knew S&G wouldn't let me down ;-)

If you've tried Feel Good Factor, let me know what you think!

Feel Good Factor is available at Boots, £12

Mighty Mouth II

I LOVED the original Mighty Mouth. I wasn't too keen on the lipgloss, which I felt was too sticky and not a great colour for me. I did, however, think the lipbalm duo was fantastic. In one end, there was a vanilla scented lipbalm to moisturise your lips, and in the other side there was an exfoliator to remove any dead, rough skin. Working nights takes its toll on my lips, and they often dry out and crack. So, I was a huge fan of the duo stick and I could just carry it around in my pocket!

I have been a bit apprehensive about trying the new Mighty Mouth. It is a simple lipbalm, pink in colour - although it is fairly nude on the lips. The formula feels a bit sticky at first, and I'm not entirely keen on the way to apply it as it ends up going all over the place (I am quite clumsy when it comes to applying gloss!), but it doesn't stick together and doesn't look over the top. It's just a nice, simple gloss suitable to wear anywhere!

Did I mention the smell?! It smells (and tastes...) delicious. Soap and Glory has decided to retain the fantastic smell from the lipbalm duo, and this is highly pleasing ;-) My main annoyance with a couple of the Sexy Motherpucker lipglosses is the smell - a strange cocoa scent that, quite frankly, sometimes leaves me feeling a little sick. The vanilla scent is lovely but I do have to try my hardest not to eat it!

But the best thing about the new Mighty Mouth lipbalm is how moisturisng it is. For a gloss, I wouldn't expect it to be as moisturising as it is. You can really feel the difference even an hour or two after first applying it. I wish Soap and Glory had made another exfoliating balm, but I am quite happy with Mighty Mouth II and I would definitely recommend it! I really like the new packaging as well - a job well done to Soap and Glory, I feel!

Mighty Mouth II is available at Boots, £7. Currently, Soap & Glory products are 1/3rd off so you can get it for the bargain price of £4.67.

Hair Trio

I've decided to review Hair Supply, Glad Hair Shampoo and Glad Hair Conditioner all in one post - just for convenience!

We'll start with Hair Supply. This is one of Soap & Glory's first hair products, and I first tried it as part of a giftset I got for Christmas in 2009. It's available in a full sized squeezy tube (200ml) and a smaller, travel-sized one.

The formula is a yellow-ish colour, quite thick in consistency, and smells quite perfumed. I'm not sure about the scent really but I know a lot of other people like it. Maybe I'm just fussy!

The description says...

"Super gloss-giving radiance and repair mask treatment for all hair types. Ultra-lite gel formula hydrates and
defrizzes but won’t weigh hair down! Leaves hair smooth and shiny, coats and controls spilt ends!"

It definitely controls split ends and leaves hair smooth, but I wouldn't recommend Hair Supply if, like me, you've got fine and curly hair. It just weighs it down far too much in my opinion. I really wanted to love this product but it refuses to love me! I have continued to use it on my split ends, though, and it works a treat.

I've noticed that quite a few girls on the Soap & Glory Facebook page often complain that it weighs their hair down, so make sure you only use a small amount - a little bit goes a long way! I think it depends on your hair type as to whether this product would work for you.

Hair Supply is available to buy in Boots, £6 for a 200ml bottle.

Glad Hair Day Shampoo

The Glad Hair Day shampoo and conditioner are fairly new products to the Soap & Glory range. The first thing I noticed about this product was the smell. It reminds me of raspberries - it is absolutely divine!

The shampoo itself is a pink colour, almost like a gel. I don't think it lathers up very well but it does a good job of cleansing my hair when I've had a build up of product - a big thumbs up from me for that! I find the biggest problem I have with shampoo is getting the previous day's products out, and this has been a huge help. I'd definitely recommend this shampoo if you have similar problems.

I'm generally used to bottles that you tip upside down in order to get the shampoo out, so the squeezy tube makes a nice change. It means that when you haven't got a lot of product left, you don't have to tip the bottle upside down yourself so that you can use the remaining bit of product! I sometimes find it hard to squeeze it out though, so do be careful.

The one thing that seems to put people off... is the price. At £5.22, there are plenty of cheaper shampoos out there that do the job just as well. But if you're a Soap & Glory addict like me, you'll trust the brand to deliver a good quality product and you won't mind paying the price. I can honestly say I'm always having a Glad Hair Day after using this!

Glad Hair Day Shampoo is available from Boots, £5.22.

Glad Hair Day Conditioner

Now we come to Glad Hair Day's partner in grime, the Glad Hair Day conditioner. Once you've washed away the previous day's muck, it's time to condition your hair and show it some respect!

Like Glad Hair Day Shampoo, the conditioner smells really good, and comes in a similar squeezy bottle. I have to admit I've often mistaken the conditioner bottle for the shampoo one, and end up squeezing a massive amount of shampoo onto my hair. Again. (S&G if you're reading - could you possibly modify the bottles so it's easier to distinguish between the two? Thanks!)

I prefer this conditioner to Hair Supply - it doesn't leave my hair feeling weighed down, but it stills works nicely as a daily conditioner. It complements my curly hair nicely, and I've always got a nice bounce in my hair after I've used the Glad Hair Day products! Both the shampoo and conditioner are suitable for daily use, so don't be worried about using it every day.

Again, the Glad Hair Day conditioner is £5.22 but don't be put off: it's definitely something everyone should try, especially lovers of all things Soap & Glory. I have tried a lot of hair products in my short life, and this duo is definitely up there with the best ones.

Be warned: The Glad Hair Day Shampoo and ESPECIALLY the Conditioner seem to be proving EXTREMELY popular in the shops. I've noticed that people are finding it increasingly hard to get, and Boots.com always seems to be sold out... So don't worry too much if you can't find it - when it is in stock, grab it quick, because I guarantee it won't be there for long!

Glad Hair Day Conditioner is available from Boots, £5.22.

Sugar Crush

Hi guys! Haven't posted a Soap&Glory review for a while, so I've decided to review the latest addition to my collection - Sugar Crush. Soap & Glory is currently on offer at Boots, 3 for the price of 2, so I had to (finally!) pick it up.

"It’s sugar, baby
Use your Sugar Crush in the shower once, twice, or three times weekly, depending on the level of scaliness you struggle with. (Four times – even – if you’ve ever been labelled ‘old lizard legs’)."

Now, I wasn't sure about the scent to start with. It's quite a strong lime smell, but you can also smell a hint of almond. After getting in the bath and scrubbing it all over, it did start to grow on me. Sugar Crush contains Smashed Brown Sugar, Sweet Lime, Almond Oil, and Macadamia Grains.

I actually think the scrub is similar to Breakfast Scrub (which I promise I'll review soon!) in terms of the actual textures. It's definitely different to the likes of Flake Away and Scrub, Actually but I think that is what makes it appealing. It's quite a good scrub although I think the consistency is quite watery, and unlike Flake Away, Scrub of Your Life etc. it doesn't leave a sticky feeling on your skin afterwards. Although I personally don't mind it, I know other people do.

It IS quite expensive at £9.45, but it's a 450ml tub so it should last for quite a while unless you're abnormally flaky... I think it would do well as a gift for men, as the S&G Spa range is blue instead of the Original Pink colour. Definitely worth a go if you're looking for something a bit "different" to the usual Original Pink scrubs!

Available from Boots, £9.45.

Hocus Focus

Hocus Focus, £12

This is a fairly new addition to the Soap & Glory skincare range. It claims to soften your flaws instantly!

An INSTANT visual flaw-softening lotion with long-wearing LIGHTSCRAMBLE™ lumisphere technology that mixes mica light-diffusing powders with high-tech encapsulated soft focus pearls and leaves the wearer looking ‘candle lit’ and ready to glow!

Its specially blended luxury skin smoothing emollient complex gives a beautiful silky sensual feel and sheer look to the skin, whilst helping to lock moisture in too. It softens, smoothes and illuminates the skin, just where you need a little soft focus.

The product comes in a glass pump bottle which is handy. The only problem with it is pumping out too much! The product itself is of a foundation consistency... You just put it on your face. It is a shimmery pale pink colour, but goes onto the skin pretty much transparent. It also has a nice scent but this could be a problem if you're allergic to perfumed products - have a look at the ingredients and check before you buy, as £12 is a lot to waste if you can't use the product.

I like Hocus Focus; it makes my face look brighter and fresher. It's great if you want to rock the 'natural' look but don't want to use heavier foundation products. I'd say it was suitable for most skin types as well. I've tried mixing it with my foundation but I haven't noticed much of a difference, it works better for me when used on its own, but what works for me won't necessarily work for you - give it a try and see what you think!

The Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser

The Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser, £9

I've been asked to write a review of this product, and I'm only too happy to oblige!

I really like this product. I don't have the cloth any more though - my mother thought it would make a good dishcloth. *Facepalm* I've tried both The Fab Pore (peel) and this, and I do prefer this one as it's something you can use more often.

This is the description of the product:

It cleans, it smoothes, it melts away makeup. A 3-in-1 concentrated deep purifying formula with a natural blend of revitalising aromatic essential oils for an all round Fab Pore™ complexion.

Suitable for all skin types – especially those seeking natural alternatives for their skincare regime.

The product is white, and comes in a handy squeezy tube. The Fab Pore (peel) annoys me because of the pot - I find the squeezy tubes are more convenient. I normally just rub a small amount on my cheeks, chin and nose, and on my forehead if I feel it needs some good stuff. I leave it for a minute or two then wash it off with warm water. It does make your face feel noticeably softer! I find myself sometimes stroking my cheek without realising. I've tried washing it off with cold water too, but it doesn't work as well and I don't get the soft face feeling. More like sticky face feeling. I've never personally tried to remove my makeup with it either (and I always avoid the eye area after my mishap with Clean Mary), but I should think it would work well.

Would I recommend The Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser? Of course! I didn't think the cloth made that much of a difference personally, as flannels seem to do the job just as well. I think the cloth is softer and less harsh, but don't quote me on that. I find my face looks brighter after using it and of course, it's much softer! The tube is convenient and it's also easy to slip into a washbag or something if you're going away, so there's no excuse for not having a "Fab" complexion!

Some Like It Hot

Here's a review to warm you up. I don't know about you, but I'm feeling really cold today!


Some Like It Hot, £7.75

I feel that this is quite a novelty product: to activate the 'heat' of the scrub you need to shake the tube. It then heats up as it touches your skin. The sensation only lasts a few seconds but it's both fantastic and strange at the same time...

The consistency, in my opinion, is quite runny. And it feels like sandpaper when I scrub myself with it. Despite this, I like that it heats me up. It's a good thing to use if your shower water is cold (remember: shower responsibly. Use the 2 minute rinse method)!

The effectiveness of the scrub is good. It works just like any other. I still prefer the other Soap & Glory scrubs though, but this is a good substitute if you want something different, or as I said earlier, if you're feeling a bit cold!

The only problem with this product is that it dries your skin out quite quickly (because of the heating action, I presume!) so be sure to have a moisturiser on hand afterwards.

What do you think of this product? It'd be interesting to hear some other views!

Sit Tight

Sit Tight!, £14

I bought this a while back when it was 3 for 2. It is quite pricey at £14. HOWEVER, I do like it. It is a gel you rub over your bum and thighs! I guess if you wanted to, you could get your partner to apply it for you. Double the fun!

It is intended to be used a firming product. It is gel-like and smells kinda weird in my opinion, but it does what it says on the packet unlike a lot of similar products these days. The squeezy tube is a really good idea and you don't need to use much. Consequently I've got quite a lot left!

The burning question (no pun intended): How does it work? The Soap & Glory explanation:

The friction/heat generated by the user during the act of sitting, acts as a release mechanism to trigger increased movement of the product to the lower body areas, most affected by fatty tissue buildup.

I have to say, you CAN feel it working. I thought my bum was on fire the first time I used it, but you quickly adjust to the heated feeling. It does feel as though it works better when you're sitting down. So please, do take a seat.

As I said earlier, I do like Sit Tight. You can feel it working unlike some other products and at £14 it's a good buy, even better if you get it on promotion. Whilst prancing around my room in my underwear (I know you do it too...) my sister commented on how "that stuff must be working! Your legs look more toned!" You have no idea how impressed I was...

If you're looking to firm some areas up, then I'd definitely recommend Sit Tight. It's not a miracle worker though and it's definitely not a substitute for hardcore exercise! It works well to reduce the fatty appearance of areas though, so if you're looking for a minor fix it could work well for you. Remember to wash your hands afterwards!

Big Butter Blueberry Thrill

As you should all know by now, I've been a big Soap & Glory addict for a while now. I think "addict" is an understatement. Anyway, I did a little bit of Christmas shopping last week and decided to pick up a couple of things I'd not tried before. This is the first of a couple of reviews I'll be posting up. Keep your eyes peeled!



Big Butter Blueberry Thrill, £9

I've been wanting to try this for AGES but it never seems to be sold in the shops for some reason, so I ordered it online. I felt a tiny bit bad spending £9 on one tub of butter when I have plenty of others, but I made myself feel better because Soap & Glory was 3 for 2, after all. And I got a free gift bag for buying three products. Kind of mad it wasn't the S&G gift bag though. It was some crappy red one. :(

So. The packaging is lovely; like the rest of the Soap & Glory Spa range, it has blue packaging and a yummy fruity smell. Bet you can't guess what it smells like... No? Blueberries! When I opened the tub for the first time I just wanted to scoop the lot out and eat it. It smells FANTASTIC.

The butter itself is of a thick consistency, a pinkish colour, and slightly more gooey than The Righteous Butter. It still absorbs well into the skin and leaves it feeling soft. It makes a great change from The Righteous Butter, and complements the other Spa products. So far, no complaints!

Would I recommend it? Yes! If you're looking for an alternative then I'd definitely recommend it, but as far as deep moisturising goes I think I'd pick up The Righteous Butter first. Having said that, I cannot get over how fabulous the smell is so who knows, maybe I'll end up changing my mind!

Butter Up

Butter Up
Get rid of your chap! It’s simple. Just pop open the cap and… Butter Up™

How fitting to review the product that the blog is named after! I really like this butter for use on my arms and upper body. Unfortunately it just doesn't match up to the moisturising-ness of The Righteous Butter when it comes to dry legs and knees.

First of all: the smell is GORGEOUS. If it was food, I would eat it up. But it isn't and that disappoints me so. I think I've got three or four tubes of this stuff now - a nearly empty tube (thanks, sis...), one I won from a 2 min rinse competition (thanks S&G!) and then bought a couple of tubes when they were on clearance at a Boots in Nottingham. Plenty then! I haven't seen it in shops for a while so I am hoping they haven't discontinued it... :( If they have at least I'm well stocked up.

Anyway, on to the product. It contains cocoa butter, shea butter, aloe vera and so on - a pretty moisturising formula. It's good for days where you need some moisturising, but not too much. Absorbs into the skin fairly well, I don't have any complaints. I prefer to use it on dry skin rather than when I've just got out of the shower - it just works better for me that way.

If you can find it, it's a good buy. Not as expensive as The Righteous Butter but still keeps your skin smooth and soft. The squeezy tube is really handy - you don't make as much mess(!) and it reduces your chances of wasting the product...! It's part of the Soap & Glory spa range so it has blue packaging and a fruity smell as opposed to the traditional originl pink scent & the pink packaging. Perfect for the males who are embarrassed to use girly pink products but still want to look after their skin! ;)

All I can say is... Butter Up!

The Righteous Butter

I've been addicted to Soap & Glory for nearly a year now. My mum bought me the jumbo holdall for Christmas and I have been hooked ever since! I like to stock up when it is 3 for 2 at Boots and I've built up quite a collection... Over the next few weeks I'll be adding reviews of every product I have tried.



First review: The Righteous Butter
This is possibly my favourite moisturiser by S&G, and funnily enough it was my first. It has the original pink scent and is absolutely divine. I get random dry patches all over my body but other moisturisers are rarely moisturising enough - or too much. The Righteous Butter is just right. It isn't greasy and it absorbs quickly into the skin. I use it on my legs and arms mostly, but you could use it just about anywhere. What is the best thing about this butter? It lasts FOREVER. One tub has easily lasted me 4-5 months, and that is using it a few times a week, depending on how much moisturising my skin needs.

And I'm not the only one who thinks The Righteous Butter is amazing - it won an award thanks to How To Look Good Naked.

So what are you waiting for? Go and buy it! If you aren't keen on spending £9.79 on a full sized tub without knowing if it will work for you, opt for the Mini Righteous Butter for the bargain price of £2.30.
