Benefit samples and a soap & glory primer

I went into town with the intention of buying some benefit makeup, but my fella complained that he didn't want me spending that much on a product that I haven't tried before so instead I got a happy beauty day pack which contains sample sizes.
The samples included are the porefessional, posie tint and bad gal lash.
I will be honest and admit that I only purchased this (£9.95) for the porefessional but I can't wait to try the others.
Porefessional is a primer that you apply over your moisturiser and underneath (or on top of) foundation. It claims to minimise the appearance of pores and fine lines. I have heard so many good things about this product that I can't wait to try it!
Posie tint is a lip and cheek tint. It is poppy pink in colour which looks a bit bright to me but may look okay actually on my lips or cheeks. Weirdly, it has a nail varnish style applicator which I'm a bit dubious about but I am willing to give it a go.
Bad gal lash is a mascara. I haven't read any reviews on this product at all, but I do love mascara so I will give this a go!

As well as my benefit samples I also bought a eyeshadow primer from soap & glory, (£8). I have wanted a eye primer since my makeup artist used one on me for my wedding day and my eye shadow stayed on all day (which was about 21 hours long!). I have heard some good things about this so I am looking forward to trying it out. I haven't been wearing eyeshadow lately as when I am at work and a bit sweaty (minging I know but the lab has to be a specific temperature and unfortunately it is a bit hot) the shadow gets creases or it slips and I end up with shadow all around my eyes which is never a good look. This product promises to keep the shadow in place and crease free.

I will review each of these products soon :-)

Soap & glory butter yourself review

As you all know, I am a little obsessed with soap & glory products, I get a new get set every birthday and Christmas off at least three different people. As far as I can remember there is only one product that I haven't liked by soap & glory.
In one of these gift sets I got 'butter yourself' which is a moisturiser that comes in a bottle with a pump rather than the tub like the body butter comes in. I didn't use this for months as I don't like to use half of one product then start using another one and I have been using the body butter for a while now but when I got out of the shower a few days ago I thought I would give it a try anyway.
It says to apply to damp skin which is exactly what I did, and a little goes a long way which I love. The smell isn't the original recipe smell that I love so much, and the bottle states that it has a fruity smell. I am going to be honest and say I had to check the ingredients as all I could smell was coconut (there is coconut in it) which is why I fell in love with it. The coconut smell is my all time favourite smell, and I will generally love anything with that smell. The coconut smell lasts a few minutes and then is replaced with a more subtle fruity smell, which is gorgeous. I actually made my fella smell my arm as I loved it so much!
It is a little bit more creamy than the body butter that comes in the tub, and soaks into the skin immediately. It makes the skin feel so soft, like all soap & glory products. It definitely does what it says, and as always I am impressed by it and would recommend it to everyone.
I don't have dry skin, but I'm sure that this would be perfect for those who do!

I will buy this product again (although it is a very big bottle so I think it will last a while).

What are your thoughts on this product?

Soap and glory heel genius

This is a bit embarrassing to admit but I have horrible feet!
Well maybe not horrible but i have dry hard skin on the balls and heels of my feet which i hate!
I got soap and glory heel genius in a Christmas gift set so thought there would be no harm in trying it seeing as i use soap & glory for everything else!
First off, I'm not going to lie it smells awful! I gagged I really did! Other people might like the smell but each to their own.
It comes in the usual gorgeous pick tubes that the moisturiser comes in (I love this) and it is a blue/grey colour which is a bit unusual.
It contains allantoin,  glycerin, macadamia oil, menthol, bilberry, orange and lemon fruit acid smoothers.
It recommends putting this all over your feet and then putting cotton socks over the top, I have pink Cottom socks off a spa set I got a few years ago so I used them. I wasn't expecting much the first time I used it, I thought I would at least have to try it a couple of times a week to see any difference but I left the socks on overnight and in the morning I was amazed! Gone were the dry hard patches of skin, in its place was moisturised soft gorgeous skin!! I have used it a couple of times since then with the same results every time!
This is perfect for the summer when I will be flashing my feet in wedges and sandals without feeling embarrassed and trying to hide my feet!
I would highly recommend this to anyone!!

Well done soap & glory another amazing must have!

Soap & glory sugar crush body wash

A couple of years ago I hadnt even heard of soap & glory, then I was given a gift set off my mam and I fell in love. I admit I have become a bit obsessed with the girly smell (I even have the hand gel as I work in a hospital and everyone pinches it off me) so when I was given this body wash the scent surprised me.
I can only describe the scent as being citrusy, it is amazing for a morning shower as it wakes you up and smells fresh :) To be honest it is the smell that PB loves and I keep catching him using it (he is a bit of a mans man so ive been told not to tell his mates he washes with soap & glory) and he loves it!
The consistency is the same as other soap & glory body washes, and I use it with the soap & glory scrunchie I got in my gift pack which leaves my skin super soft.
You only need a small amount as it lathers up really well, so the bottle should last quite a while (although PB does tend to use a bit more than needed).

I would recommend this product, but I still prefer the scent of the original products but if it makes PB happy then it makes me happy :)
