A Little Skincare & Makeup Haul


Hey beauties, today I'm bringing you a little beauty haul that I've accumulated over the past 2 weeks! I've not had much time for shopping, what with exams, but I picked up a few little treats to get me through the endless hours of revision and crying (I joke, kind of...). 


First things first, Simple Skincare products. I picked these up in Boots when they were having a 3 for 2 sale. I needed a new moisturiser and was on the look out for an eye cream because I had just been using my regular facial moisturiser, but it's really not too good for the delicate skin around the eyes!
Simple Kind to Skin Replenishing Rich Moisturiser - I decided to get the rich moisturiser this time because my skin has been so dry it's not even funny! It's a bargain at only £3.89, plus it lasts me a good 3 months. However it's pretty heavy so if you don't have super dry skin like I do, stick to the light moisturiser.
Simple Kind to Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes - I'd never tried these but decided to pick them up as my 3rd free item, and I've used them a few times and really like them! They're gentle, but remove all the makeup on my face.
Simple Kind to Eyes Soothing Eye Balm - I reaaaally like this. It's a light eye cream which you apply morning and night, and it helps de-puff eyes and just keep the eye area moisturised!


Mum actually bought me this super cute Primark Wash Mitt, and it was only £1, so who could refuse! I've not used it yet, but it seems really soft and nice to use.


Finally, I picked up two makeup items. 
Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Apocalyptic - I got this from Tesco on sale for just £4.50! I cannot rave enough about this amazing lip product, it's my absolute favourite find of the month and I shall be reviewing it soon!
MUA Eyeshadow in shade 17 - This is a matte dark brown which I use for filling in my brows, and at just £1, I thought it'd be a great choice for a beginner brow-filler!

Hope you enjoyed this little haul ladies, tell me if you've picked any of these items up and what you thought of them!
Talk to you later lovelies,

Soap & Glory Story - My Collection

Hello my beauties! Hope you're all doing well and looking after yourselves. Today I'm showing you my full Soap & Glory Collection, so I hope you enjoy. It's a little excessive I suppose, but most of the products came in my Best of All set which I got from a friend for Christmas, and I receive loads of S&G products for every birthday! I'll also be giving them a kind of mini review, just rating them /10 and possibly giving a little opinion on them. However, if you'd like any more in depth reviews of specific products, just comment below and let me know! If not, I'll gradually review them all over time :)


 Here is my entire Soap and Glory Collection! I have 18 products I think, but some are the same etc etc. I'll name them all now, and those marked with a (*) were part of the Best of All set (Which came in the lovely pink carry case you can see behind the items). Also, obviously for Sugar Crush and The Righteous Butter, only 1 of them came in the Best of All set!

Back row, L-R = Clean on Me body wash*, Foam Call body wash, Peaches&Clean facial cleanser*, Calm One, Calm All bubble bath, Daily Smooth body butter (x2), Smoothie Star body milk*, Heel Genius foot cream*, Hand Food hand cream*.
Front row, L-R = Sugar Crush body scrub* (x2), Hand Maid hand sanitizer, The Righteous Butter body butter* (x2), Thick&Fast mascara*, Sexy Motherpucker lipgloss*, The Righteous Butter body butter mini, Girligo body moisturising mist.


So now for a bit more of an in depth look at the body and face washes. 
Clean on Me Shower Gel - 4/10. Personally, I really don't like this as it doesn't lather well and is just too thick.
Foam Call Body Wash - 8/10. This lathers amazingly well and leaves my skin feeling super clean.
Peaches and Clean 4-in-1 Wash-off Deep Cleansing Milk - 7/10. Gorgeous smelling, thick, luxurious cleanser which leaves skin feeling smooth and silky.


Calm One, Calm All Bubble Bath - 3/10. I cannot  get this to actually produce any bubbles!! However, some people have used and loved this, so maybe I'm doing something wrong? Haha.
Sugar Crush Body Scrub - 9/10. Love love love love love this product! Ahh it smells incredible and leaves my skin feeling soft and silky. Only downside is it can leave a weird residue on the skin, but it's worth it!


The Righteous Body Butter - 4/10. Shock, horror, I'm giving this a bad review! But I really don't like this product, it's tooo thick for me and doesn't soak into my skin, I hate the feel of it! I only use this when I'm sunburnt.
Daily Smooth Body Butter - 7/10. Great moisturiser, similar to above but a bit less thick.
Girligo Body Moisturising Mist - 7/10. A moisturiser that sprays on in a mist-form, which I really like!
Smoothie Star Deep Moisture Body Milk - 10/10. Favourite. Moisturiser. Ever. Enough said!


Heel Genius Foot Cream - 7/10. A great, moisturising treat for the feet with a peppermint-y smell.
Hand Food Hand Cream - 7/10. The famous Hand Food, which I'm sure you've heard of! A super moisturising treatment which isn't too heavy and soaks in well.
Hand Food Hand Cleansing Gel - 6/10. A great little sanitiser but not any better than normal sanitisers to be honest, just a bit more expensive since it's pink!


Sexy MotherPucker Lip Gloss in Punchbowl - 8/10. A plumping lipgloss that isn't sticky or painful on the lips.
Thick&Fast Mascara - 7/10. Not the most lengthening mascara, but it's good for separating lashes and adding some length. I like to use this for bottom lashes and for a more natural look on my upper lashes.

So, wow this was a very picture heavy post, I apologise for that! However I hope you enjoyed this collection post, let me know if you're as obsessed with Soap and Glory as I am, and give me any suggestions as to new products I need to try!

Talk to you later lovelies,
