Basking in the Glory

Soap and Glory Clean on Me Shower Gel £6.00 at Boots Soap and Glory Mist you Madly Body Spray 100ml for £3.50 at Boots Soap and Glory the Breakfast scrub £8.00 at Boots - please click the link for that last one the picture on the Boots website is hilarious. 

Soap and glory is a sexy cult brand with girly as hell packaging. I have been coveting these little babies a long long time.

£8.00 for a body scrub is a little steep (still waiting on that student loan) but this as well as the whole range is worth it. Grab 'em when they're on offer at Boots.


 so good get on my body pls


First up's the breakfast scrub which smells like a maple orgasm, I applied it mainly to my legs, expoliating in circular motions. The Tube says:


"Oat, shea butter and sugar body smoother...with organic cupuacu bio scrubs, bananas, almond and honey extracts"

Pros


  • Nice thick texture so you don't need too much
  • Medium abrasiveness 
  • Does get rid of lurking dead skin 
  • Leaves skin super silky soft
  • Smells like heaven
  • Cute cute cute

Cons

  • Perhaps a little harsh for sensitive skin
  • Scent is very girly and artificial, so if you're not into that sort of thing then it's not for you
  • What the hell is a "cupuacu?" Sounds like a Pokemon




Here's 'clean on me', the tube says:


"Smooth sexy skin whenever you want it...with natural mandarin peel and built in body lotion"

Pros


  • Classic Soap and Glory scent which lingers for a little while after application
  • Leaves skin super clean and soft
  • Lathers up well
  • Hygienic pump
  • Large amount of product so long lasting

Cons


  • I would recommend still moisturising afterwards
  • Again a strong perfumey smell
  • Still around the £5 mark which is fairly pricey


Finally, the mist you madly spray is usually in the section with all the miniatures in Boots as this is a half-size product, perfect for carrying stupid small bags. I find all the cheap impulse-type body sprays on the highstreet pretty gross smelling, but at the same time I have not the dollar for a proper perfume so this is a nice middle ground product. 

The tube says:

"Spritz Mist you Madly on whenever you need a flash of flabulousness" 
vom.

Pros


  • Cheap
  • Beaut scent as per of this range
  • Not too heavy on the skin
Cons


  • Not the most longlasting
  • Very irritating if it gets in your eyes

That's it pretty much, I really hope I can finance more Soap and Glory in the future, although there are knock off brands in bigger Sainsbury's and Tesco's. I'm also delighted that Soap and Glory only test on humans!

Final thoughts -
9/10 for the range
