Soap & Glory || Body Buttercream, Rosy-Radiance Blush and Super Colour Lipstick


    My obsession towards Soap & Glory clearly hasn't died out as I've been buying more of their products and I'm still head over heels for the brand. It also doesn't help that Boots keep putting on 3 for 2 offers in stores either as they send me into overdrive. I've had all three products for just over two months now, so I'd like to say I've got a fair judgement on all of them.

Soap & Glory™ Super-Colour Fabulipstick™ Collagen Boosting Lipstick

   
    The first product on the list is this beautifully cherry coloured lipstick called 'Man Trap'. As you can see from the link below the photo, the name for this lipstick is quite the mouthful, but exceptionally good. It has a very heavy colour pigment on my lips, which is a benefit as you don't need to repeatedly go over your lips for an opaque and matt effect. The staying power is quite impressive as well, I've noticed it doesn't rub off as easily when drinking and eating, I'd approximate 4 hours wear without reapplying. The lipstick itself might be considered quite pricey for a drugstore brand at £9, but I'd argue that so far its highly worth the extra few quid.


Soap & Glory™ Love at First Blush™ Multi-Shade Blushing Powder

    
    Now this second product is used by myself every single day and its Soap & Glory's brilliant blusher. What appeals to me so much about this blusher it the variety of rosy tones, which contrast with the two white sections that create a wonderful luminous glow. This powder is also very build-able for either a subtle daytime look, to a more dramatic night time look so its essentially a 2 in 1 product. Over the course of experimenting with this product, I've found you can get away with using this for contouring, if you angle your brush into the darker tones. The only downfall I've found is that the blusher has a lot of fall away product, so you do have to top it up quite regularly, especially if you're on a night out but thats a minor detail that can be easily sorted out.  

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Buttercream

   
    Finally, the last product in todays post is the well talked about 'Sugar Crush Body Buttercream'. This product has been raved about by numerous bloggers, so I ended up caving and buying it even though I've never been a body moisture fan. If you can go into Boots and just smell this, I urge you to because it smells absolutely divine (I swear I'm not smelling it as I'm typing, honest!). The lime and kiwi juice water give it a sharp scent which stays on your skin afterwards for a good couple of hours. This product just honestly feels so lovely when rubbed into your skin, the consistency is rather thick and luxurious which is a plus! I suffer with dry skin on my legs but after applying this my skin is restored.

Birthday & Christmas

    Christmas week has been a busy one for my family and I, those of you who know me in person know it was my birthday on the 24th and then Christmas the day afterwards. Quite a few people have already uploaded their Christmas post but I thought I'd include my birthday and Christmas gifts together. Now to go through the stupid but necessary jargon of "I'm not showing off what I've been bought, I'm simply presenting images of said gifts to you etc etc." I do know some people are less fortunate than others but these selected photos are a combination of two heavily gifted events, so I hope you can enjoy what I've been bought (I know I will) and maybe see something you want to pick up yourself. Links will be provided under each image!

REVIEWED | Kate Moss Lipstick

     I've been eyeing up this new collection ever since I heard rumors of its release a couple of months ago. When Kate's first lipstick collection came out last year, I purchased one lipstick and wasn't fully enticed to buy another, due to shimmers in it. However with matte lips being in fashion this year, I was glad to find out Kate's collection followed this trend. I bought two of her lipsticks, as they were reasonably priced at £4.00 each and the colours attracted me.

 

    The first lipstick I picked up was the darker shade (107) which doesn't have an actual name to it. (Neither does the lighter shade.) Having many dark shaded lipsticks, I thought this would go well with my collection as I have a soft spot of dark lipsticks. Again as mentioned before both lipsticks are matte, however the darker shade is slightly dry when applying on the lips. This doesn't interfere once the product is on your lips, leaving a nice finish thats lasts a good few hours.


    The second shade I picked up (110) is a much lighter and coral shade, I own one other coral shade from Topshop. Yet I've never warmed to the colour but this shade has darker undertones, suiting fair skin types. I prefer the lighter shade overall, due to the ease of application and I'm forcing myself to wear lighter tones for a change.

The Best Of May

     Being the first I've done of these type of blog posts, I decided to keep it pretty much unstructured to help me be more flexible in the future months, steering away from the traditional structure of mentioning a different foundation, perfume etc every month. I will have a variety from makeup, movies, films, holiday locations and other miscellaneous items. So I hope you enjoy something new and different to my blog.
