Soap & Glory: Butter Yourself

I love Soap & Glory and when I saw this in Boots for free if you spent more than £10 I knew right away that I would have to pick products worth £10 to get this beauty that retails at £10.50 & I was so pleased that I got this.  

Packaging of S&G Butter Yourself

Firstly I love the Soap & Glory packaging I feel like it so feminine & I love that & it also has my favourite colour in it which is pink! I think the vintage packing really stands out & that is why I was first drawn to Soap & Glory! 
I love this body butter it is really thick and you do have to work it into your body & apply this evenly but don't put to much of this on because it can leave your skin feeling sticky & I've been there done that and had to wait an hour & a half before it properly sunk into my skin.  Even thought that is the only down side of that it really does help get away those dry patches & makes your skin feel so smooth which I love because I'm really prone to getting dry skin if I don't moisturise/butter myself for a week then I have the worst skin ever and as soon as you use this then that is gone away and your skin looks so much better before I decided to use this I was using a Body Shop Body Butter & I felt like it was doing something to my skin but I was wrong because you could notice the differences right away after using this especially on my knees & elbows which are usually the most dry areas for most people so I'm so glad I found this.
The scent of this is amazing & I never know how to describe the Soap & Glory products because they have a signature scent that's hard to explain but trust me on this one this is so delicious I wish I could eat it but that would be a bit weird, ha!
I know I will repurchase this & if you suffer dry skin like me then I definitely recommend this because it is the best body butter I have tried but just don't put too much on!

Do you enjoy using this? Are you thinking of purchasing it?

Hello Everyone!

Hi everyone! I hope that you are all well recently if you read my blog then you will know that I have been really quiet recently because I've been really busy so I haven't been blogging as much and I have missed it a lot so hopefully I will can get myself back into it!

Lush: Tea Tree Toner

What Lush Say: 
Comes to the aid of skin that has emergencies.  Tea tree is a wonder oil for anyone with oily or spot prone skin.  It has antibacterial, antiseptic and antimicrobal properties.  Where the skin needs balancing, where there are spots, gentle tea tree is just the job.


What can I say about this product? I never really used Toner before I didn't think that it would do much to my skin but after using this & then stopping using it for a few days my skin had a horrendous break-out & I really think it all had to do with stopping using this Toner.  When my break-out happened I immediately started using this again & two days later my spots where away like magic!  My skin feels so smooth & soft after using this & if I put anything on after using this it just goes on so smoothly & effortlessly it's amazing what this product really can do without noticing the differences until it isn't in your skin care routine any more even after a few days! I don't know what I will do when this Toner does run out I think I will have to buy one right away because I don't want to have another break-out on my hands but now that I know how much Toner has an effect on my skin I might branch out & try a different type of Toner but it is going to have to be super good to beat this one.  This retails at £3.95 for the 100g bottle or you can get the 250g for £7.25.
