Soap And Glory One heck of a blot

So i've been faithful to the rimmel stay matte powder for as long as I can remember and I wasn't really too bothered about trying anything different, I've heard several youtubers and bloggers talk about this powder but put it off for too long incase I was let down by it... until I went shopping with Lucy and Jayne which was incredibly damaging to my bank account may I add! The soap and glory one heck of a blot (£12) is a transparent pressed powder, so it doesn't have any colour in it yet keeps you matte! I have found that this powder keeps me matte all day and I'm one to get an oily T-zone, I often found I needed to touch up throughout the day when I was using the Rimmel stay matte yet I don't feel like I have to with this powder!? I like that the finish of this isn't too matte either, it doesn't look cakey and still allows a little bit of radiance through so it looks really flattering on the skin. This is the perfect little travel companion as it has a large mirror and comes with a little powder puff (which I don't use!) the packaging feels sturdy and as if It won't open up in my bag because no one wants to find their beloved powder crushed to pieces do they? I'm so glad Lucy made me pick this up, it's such a lovely powder and I will be repurchasing it over the rimmel stay matte... gasp!

Review | Soap and glory whipped clean shower butter

Soap & Glory whipped clean shower butter (£8.00)
I picked this up in Boots because they were doing an offer, if you spend £10 on selected soap and glory you get a free full size Butter yourself up body butter (£10.50)... so of course I had to do it, right? i've been eyeing this up for a couple of weeks now and decided to take the plunge, okay £8 for a shower butter/gel/wash seems a little steep for me, but I can say that i'll be 100% repurchasing this when it's finished.

Now, let me tell you something... this stuff smells amazing, it's the same scent as the Smoothie Star body lotion which smells oaty and sweet, not everyone's a fan of this so make sure you give it a sniff before you buy it! Soap & Glory nailed it right on the head where it says "shower butter" this stuff is SO moisturizing! I simply lathered this up all over my body and stepped out of the water for a minute or so, when I washed it off it made my skin feel so soft and smooth I couldn't believe it! I didn't need to whack on a moisturizer after I got out the shower! This will be the perfect companion for me when I can't be bothered to moisturize after showering, this little beauty has now taken it's rightful place in my shower and will remain there until it's finished and I can repurchase it!

Haul | Boots and Superdrug

I have been off from work and college and have done nothing apart from sit in my bedroom with the curtains closed, reading with a candle burning... so today i decided to venture into the big wide world and go shopping! My plan was to go into Primark and buy a few new bits and bobs... but only ended up with socks and jewelry (You can't leave Primark without some socks and jewelry, right?)

When I went into Superdrug... I was amazed, I was never a fan as my local Superdrug's never stocked massive amounts of exciting makeup, but this time it was completely revamped and had a Sleek, Mua etc.. counters, everything! I've never tried anything from sleek before and ran straight there and I nearly brought everything. but instead picked up the blush in "Coral" (£4.49) ... and decided to restrict myself there before I dropped a bomb on my bank account, but i'll most definitely be back. As I was queuing up, I spied batiste (£1.45) were half price and couldn't resist picking up the tropical scent (mmm, coconut!)

Next up was boots, a place where I spent too much time and money.. since running out of my Liz Earle cleanse and polish, and my NSPA hot cloth cleanser I decided to try something else and went for the Soap and Glory Fab pore hot cloth cleanser (£10) but boots currently have an offer on where it's buy one get one half price on selected S&G products, so I picked up the No clogs allowed deep pore detox mask (£5.50)

I also repurchased my current favorite mascara, Maybeline volume rocket express (£7.99) I've wanted it since I saw Brogantatexo mention it in a video and I've been in love since, and i haven't touched any of my other mascaras!

I couldn't resist not purchasing the Revlon nearly naked foundation (£8.99) after hearing all of the hype about it, and I had a £2 off Revlon voucher... snazzy! I'm not really a fan of low coverage foundation but i'm becoming more comfortable in my skin and thought this would be lovely for spring/summer when you don't want a whole face full of makeup!

Finally... another revlon lip butter (£7.99) in one of the new shades "Juicy Papaya" not only does the colour match my current nails, it's a beautiful coral  pink which i couldn't resist... I also have strawberry shortcake, which I have used to death and candy apple, so hopefully i will get a lot of wear out of my new shade!

Have you purchased any of these items recently, what are your thoughts?
