Best of the Brand: Soap & Glory Skincare ♥

Soap & Glory is one of my favourite skincare brands of all time. I literally love everything in the range so choosing some favourites has been very difficult. 

Clarity Face Soap: As recently my face has been very dry and just not feeling great in general I wanted to buy an exfoliator; this product contains little micro beads that exfoliate your face really nicely but it's still gentle enough to use everyday.

It makes my face feel so fresh and clean so I like to use it in the morning to get rid of any oil that has appeared on my face in the night. 

The Scrub of Your Life Body Scrub: I really enjoy using this product, it makes me feel extra clean in a weird way. It promises to help with any dry areas on the skin and it really does do this. I have extremely dry skin on my body so this has really helped with it. I also find that it makes my moisturiser sink in more quickly. Not sure why but it's great.

Clean On Me: This is a shower gel with a moisturizer built in so as you can imagine how amazing it feels. Most standard moisturisers feel very watery and just don't seem to do anything. This product feels very luxurious and makes my skin so soft.

Smoothie Star Body Moisturizer: I'm completely out of this product now but I'm keeping the bottle so that it reminds me to re purchase this. I remember using this product on my legs whilst on holiday last year because i was wearing a dress. Normally when girls shave their legs they walk around persuading everyone to feel them; this amplified that for me.

I've used the soap & glory body butter and loads of moisturisers over the years but I've never had such soft skin than when I use this. 

Hand Food Hand Cream: This is such a staple product for me. I get quite dry skin on my body and especially by hands so it is essential for me to have this in my bag.
It isn't greasy as all and it makes your hands super soft so what more could you want?
p.s It also smells great.

Puffy Eye Attack Eye Cream: I was so happy when I found this product because whenever I try to find a good eye cream they are always anti ageing. However this one is hydra gel to help get rid of dark under- eye circles and help hydrate your eye area.

It feels very hydrating and smooth so would feel really nice underneath makeup, I apply it at night to ensure that it doesn't make my concealer crease due to my skin type but if you have dryer skin then it would be fine to apply morning and night. 

Thanks so much for reading this post and please leave brand requests below for this type of post.

Best of the Brand: Soap & Glory Cosmetics ♥

Kick Ass Concealer Stick: I really like this concealer for highlighting, around brows to define them more, on the cupids bow etc. The formula is very creamy (which is why for me i'm not too keen on it for under the eyes due to it creasing), it blends nicely and in stick- form it is very handy and easy to use.

Kick Ass Concealer: This is the palette version that comes with two shades of the concealer (for face and under the eyes) and it also comes with a pressed setting powder. I really love this one for blemishes especially; it's medium coverage but it's definitely buildable. I really recommend this concealer.

Lid Stuff eyeshadow quad // What's Nude: I find this palette so handy, it has the essentials for any basic eyeshadow look; a matte white, a matte brown, a matte shade for the lid or crease and a darker sparkly shade. The eyeshadows feel very expensive when applying them and the only one I find to be slightly chalky is the matte pinky shade. Other than that, I love everything about this palette- especially the packaging... AND that it doesn't come with a crappy little eyeshadow brush that you can never use so just end up throwing away which makes the palette look bad.

First world probs.

Archery eyebrow pencils: The archery brow pencils are my favourite brow pencils ever. I know that everyone went mental when Soap & Glory changed and re released the pencil, however they do still sell the original one with the larger waxy pencil and the felt tip. I cannot decide which one i like the most, I like them both equally and i use them both equally sooo.. yeah.

I was going to make a comment about choosing between the pencils would be like choosing your favourite child but then I thought that sounded stupid seeing as they're eyebrow pencils and I didn't want you all to think I was stupid.

Just thought i'd mention that the thought crossed my mind

Because that's just the type of person I am.

Moving on...

One Heck of a Blot Powder: This powder is very finely milled and adds no coverage whatsoever, it mattifies beautifully and is perfect for setting especially under the eyes.  

Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick // Nudist: On of my favourite all time lip products. If you're not a fan of sticky lip products then i'd maybe avoid this one, I however prefer lip products to be slightly sticky so I can feel whether or not it has come off or not.

I adore this colour, it's like a peachy/ pink gloss but it looks soo nice with any makeup look.

Supercat Liner: (not photographed). I totally forgot about this product until someone mentioned it in the comments! I use it every single day and forgot. UH.
But yeah this is my favourite liquid liner evveerrrrr and it's way easier than gel liner soo... get it.

A Little Saturday Haul ♥

I just felt like having a mooch around boots today and to my delight they had some really good offers on most of the individual makeup stands.

On the Soap & Glory stand there was a 'buy 1 get 1 half price' deal so I picked up the Kick Arse Concealer and the revamp of the Archey Brow pencil. I saw Alix's post on Instagram where she said that she was gutted the brow pencil had been changed (you know, the one with the felt tip on one end and the thick pencil on the other) however Soap & Glory have not discontinued the original. I thought that the new one looked a lot like the Anastasia Brow Wiz that loads of people rave about- so I thought I'd give it a go. 

I picked up the Kick Arse concealer because Lily Pebbles raves about it loads and face products like foundation and concealer are my absolute favourites to buy and test out. This one also comes with a pressed setting powder which is great as I like to use a separate powder to set my concealer. I'm sure it will feature in my makeup tutorials if I like it.

At the Rimmel stand there was a "2 for £10" offer which I thought was great. I've recently run out of my Benefit POREfessional primer *cries* so I thought that I would pick up an old favourite which the Fix & Perfect primer.

In one of Gabby's most recent vlogs, she tested out the new Lasting Finish 25 hour foundation and she said that she was extremely impressed and her skin looked flawless (as per). I've been wanting a new foundation anyway and decided to give it a try. 

Gotta love a little shopping trip. 

Thanks for reading.
