Boots 3 For 2 | Soap & Glory


Soap & Glory is one of my favourite brands ever when it comes to bath & body products for a number of different reasons. Not only do their products nourish your skin really well but they have an amazing range of scents and adorable, quirky packaging too! The Soap & Glory range is exclusively sold in Boots, who have a 3 for 2 offer on at the moment where you get the cheapest item for free. So, I couldn't resist going in there and picking up a few bits as a little treat for myself! Today, I thought that I would write a mini review of each product and tell you what I think of them all. Let's get started!

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash - £6.50
The Sugar Crush range is my favourite scent that Soap & Glory do, so I definitely had to buy this body wash. I have never used this product from the range before but I have used the Sugar Crush Scrub (which I will talk about below.) Of course, what initially drew me in to this item is it's delicious scent which features lime oil and kiwi juice water. I am huge fan of citrus scents as they are really refreshing and are a great pick-me-up in the morning. As for the wash itself, it lathers up really well when I work it into my loofah. A little goes a long way as I only use about 2 or 3 small pumps and this is enough for me to clean my entire body. For the size of the bottle (500ml,) I think that it's £6.50 price tag is very affordable as this is no doubt going to last me for quite a while!

Soap & Glory Foam Call Body Wash - £6.50
As I had already chosen both of the Sugar Crush products mentioned in this post, I decided to buy another body wash to complete the 3 for 2 offer. The reason I did this was to get the most out of my money and the deal by choosing a product at the highest possible price that I could still get for free! Foam Call's fragrance is part of S&G's Fruitigo range which includes orange oil and green fig - which is again another citrus range which I adore! This body wash lathers up very well, just like the Sugar Crush one does too. With two bottles of this body wash, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be pretty set shower gel wise for a long time!

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub - £8.00
Last but not least, and my favourite from the bunch, is the Sugar Crush Scrub. Similarly to the body wash, I'm addicted to the scent of this! The scrub also includes brown sugar and macadamia grains which make up its gritty texture, which makes it perfect for exfoliating. Whats great about this product is that it is not too harsh but it is not too gentle either, so it is excellent at removing dry skin from the surface of your body without being too abrasive. I have had a tub of this before and it lasted me a good few months, so again this product is great value for money as well. I am looking forward to using this again especially as I am not getting back into fake tan and exfoliation is a key part of that process!

I hope you all enjoyed reading about the Soap & Glory products that I picked up in Boots' 3 for 2 offer. I'm really looking forward to using them! Have you tried any of these before? What is your favourite Soap & Glory product? Please let me know by leaving a comment below. Thank you!

Scrub It Up: Super Beauty's Raspberry and Cranberry Body Scrub


Hi guys, I hope that you have all had a lovely Easter weekend so far! Today I thought that I would do a quick post to show you this amazing body scrub that I picked up on Friday. Seeing as the weather has slightly improved lately in the UK, we are finally able to start showing a little more skin and donning our spring/summer wardrobes. However, after not seeing much daylight during winter, we can often neglect our bodies during this time. With that in mind and some spare change in my purse, I popped into my local Boots in search of a body scrub to bring my dry skin back to life. Initially I had the urge to buy my all time favourite body scrub, (Soap & Glory's Sugar Crush Scrub,) but as I am on a bit of a budget at the moment, I begrudgingly resisted. So, that is when I came across this alternative from Super Beauty.

Admittedly, I had never heard of this brand before but I found a couple of their products on the shelf; including a rather delicious smelling Coconut and Acai Bath & Shower Gel. Seeing as I am trying to save money at the moment, the main reason why I was drawn to this particular scrub was its price tag - which was reduced from 
£4.99 to just £2.49! Secondly, the smell of this product is heavenly. The mixture of raspberry and cranberry is really lovely and is almost good enough to eat! Not only this but this is not run of the mill scrub either, this product claims to have a brightening effect on the skin too! As for the results after just one use, my skin feels a lot smoother already. The beads in the scrub are very gentle and not too abrasive or rough, so even those of us with sensitive or irritable skin should be able to use this product too. My skin has certainly improved already but I think I may need to use it a few more times on my more stubborn, dry areas to see a more noticeable result.



Overall, I would definitely recommend this scrub. Not only does it do the trick in terms of body exfoliation but it is a real bargain, as well as smelling delicious - what more could you ask for? Of course, if I had the option I would have gone for my trusty Soap & Glory scrub as mentioned above, but this is certainly a great alternative for the budget concious like myself! What do you think of this scrub? Have you tried any products from the Super Beauty range? Please let me know in comments below!
