BODY SCRUBS


Hey there loves. I have a couple of body exfoliator reviews in this post so I will crack on and let you know my thoughts.



I received this from my Mum at Xmas in the massive Soap & Glory gift box. Straight off the bat I have to say I love this product. The scent is just incredible. So citrus and sweet. I love scattering my products around the bath ready for use after my soak so this resting near the top of my head while I bathe is just heavenly. This scent in a candle would sell out fast I'm sure. The scrub itself is made up with main ingredients of brown sugar, sweet lime, almond oil and macadamia grains. Not only does it slough away dead skin it also moisturises deeply because of the oil at the same time. I would definitely use this again. I really want to try out other products in the sugar crush range now.


My tube looks different to the new packaging linked above, but I think the product is the same. This was sent to me with a magazine subscription ages ago. I found this a little harsh on my face as the granules are on the larger side so I decided to use it on my body and voila it was a great body scrub. So just remember lovelies. There is usually another way to use beauty products if you don't want to waste your pennies!

Let me know your favourite body scrubs in the comments below.



Love to you all

Scrub, Conceal & Spray

Hello loves. Are you having a fine and dandy Wednesday? Today I have 3 product reviews for you so here I go :) .............


Left: Natural Collection Cover-up Cream (Fair), £1.99 for 8ml

To cover spots, blemishes and under eye shadows. Easily blendible.

I bought this concealer quite some time ago when I couldn't find my usual concealer the Collection 2000/Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate 16 Hour Wear Concealer (Light 2) which has proven to be very popular and rightly so as it works very well. However after trying this Natural Collection concealer out I have to say that on me this works just as well as the Collection 2000/Collection concealer. This concealer comes in two shades of Fair and Medium and Fair is fine for my complexion. I do think it would be good if there were more shades, especially for darker skin tones as two is not very many and will not suit everyone. This has a creamy, but not slippery formula that is buildable and covers well, but does not cover my red veins so good. It has a simple twist up tube that unscrews and the wand has a doe foot applicator. The writing does wear off just like the Collection 2000/Collection concealer as you can see. I will repurchase this for sure.

Centre: St Ives Elements Olive Scrub, Currently £2.48 for 150ml at Superdrug

Gently exfoliates away dead, dull skin. Mild enough for frequent use, your skin is left re-energised, feeling moisturised and smooth with a healthy glow. Natural Ingredients of Olive oil which helps nourish, without greasiness and Olive oil leaf extract, a natural anti-oxidant. 

Apply to damp skin in gentle circular movements, avoiding the eyes. Rinse off with water.

I was sent this ages ago with a magazine subscription. This has fine granules within the scrub that feel comfortable on the skin. The shade is a fab green that is different from most scrubs. I found the granules in this product good for both face and body so it saved me taking two products in the shower. I used this twice a week on both face and body and it worked well. I like the scent of this it's very natural.

Right: Primark Breath Spray Peppermint Coolness

Sugar Free. Spray as frequently as needed into mouth.

I purchased this product in November as part of this haul. It was about £1-£2. I love the bottle as it's leopard loving fun. This worked well and I would pick this up again.

So that's it for this review post. Have you discovered any cheap, but well worth the money concealers? What are your Natural Collection favourite products? Do you know of any face scrubs that also work well for the body? Do you know where to find cute breath sprays like this one or any other handy handbag products? Let me know in the comments below.



Love to you all
