The Next Big Thing - The Land of Soap and Glory

...And this is the box of wonderfulness I received for Christmas.

 

 Usually I'm not a fan of overloading on body creams and lotions as soap and shower gel does the job really for me. However, since this box magically arrived under my Christmas tree, my opinion has dramatically changed. The content of this box is yummy.

THE NEXT BIG THING - SOAP & GLORY™ GIFT SET INCLUDES:

HAND DREAM Super Cream 100ml
ORANGEASM Body Wash 500ml
BUTTER YOURSELF Moisture Cream 500ml
HEEL GENIUS Foot Cream 125ml
SUGAR CRUSH Body Scrub 300ml
WHIPPED CLEAN Shower Butter 250ml
THE RIGHTEOUS BUTTER Body Butter 300ml
OFF YOUR FACE 3 in 1 Daily Purifying Cloths (25 Cloths)
SEXY MOTHER PUCKER Lip Lacquer in Charm Offensive 7ml
THICK & FAST Super Volume Mascara 10ml
A Bonus drawstring bag!!

How delicious does that all sound?

This present was off my parents for Christmas so where they are sold I'm not overly sure, however here is the link to buy it online!

As you can see the products inside this box are placed inside a draw string bag, which I quite handy to keep the items together and to use for something else too!

Firstly the SUGAR CRUSH™ Body Scrub, my favourite product of them all!

The smell of this Body Scrub is amazing, it's tangy, zesty and refreshing! It's a smell that I've never seen in any other product before. The tub states being 'smashed with brown sugar and sweet lime, almond oil and macadamia grains', which sounds fabulous. It's so different and beautiful that I can't type quick enough to explain it to you. This product has large granules of sugar and little grains of macadamia shells that helps with removing/scrubbing off the rough patches all over your body. The sugar dissolves as you work it into your skin and the consistency is lovely and thick. Your skin is left feeling soft, smooth and smelling delightful! 

Packaging wise, I actually like it a lot :) When using it you can feel how thick the product is and you can really smell it when it once the lid is removed! Love love love!!!

 The two pink bottles actually come with this set as I realised after loading these pictures on my laptop that the Rich & Famous Body Wash (the creamy looking one) was a separate present, oops :) Nevertheless I shall tell you what I think of them all!

The Rich & Famous Body Wash is a Soap and Glory classic. 

This stuff smells AMAZING! On the bottle it states 'raw flower honey and almond milk', doesn't that sound lovely for a body wash?

It foams up really nicely and is easy to rub straight onto your skin. The smell is not too overwhelming that it fills the whole house, but lingers on your skin nicely. If you aren't a big fan of heavily sweet smells then this isn't for you, but I strongly recommend it as it is great quality, reasonably priced and a yummy smelling body wash!

Here is the link to buy it individually...

ORANGEASM™ Body Wash

The cheeky name of this body was is rather enticing isn't it? 

If you are a fan of citrus fresh fragrances you will love this! It is a great morning wake up call and very refreshing to use. The orange smell is just enough and has become one of my favourites to use! I find product feels light on your skin and not like you're rubbing a thick paste all over your body. 

BUTTER YOURSELF™ Moisture Lotion

Now the moisture lotion... honestly I'm not crazy for the smell. Its not at all sweet and actually smells off, which is never good! Its very very thick and at first takes about 5-10 pumps before anything appears! On the bottle it describes itself as 'Shea butter, orange water juice, fig pulp extract and almond, mango and moringa oils.' Too many smells and heavy products all piled together in one and is frankly too much! Hopefully i will grow to love it, but so far not a fan. 

The packaging for these three products I find very handy in the shower, as other products I've used with a cap lid is difficult to open, especially in the shower, it's nearly impossible!

 Now for these two bad boys...

I have not actually got round to using the HEEL GENIUS™ Foot Cream because I'm not really a feet person... But I will give this a go soon! 

HAND DREAM™ Super Cream

I love the packaging on this product! It feels and looks matt rather than glossy, which is different for Soap and Glory. The hand cream itself is thick and feels so lovely on your hands, however the smell is nothing special, which is quite disappointing! 

During winter I've had quite dry hands so this product has been very handy to keep in my bag :)

WHIPPED CLEAN™ Shower Butter

I really enjoyed using this product in the shower actually, which originally i didn't think I would. The bottle describes it as 'Velvety Cocoa, Shea Butters, Grapeseed, Sweet Almond and Macadamia Nut Oils'.

Im not crazy for a nutty smell but this stuff is lovely and smells beautiful! Its very thick as the buttery name suggests, however I've only used it the once in the shower...

It seems great for a wash and go kind of morning.

In comparison to the Rich and Famous for shower use, I would suggest the other, just because it's much lighter and refreshing.

OFF YOUR FACE™ 3 in 1 Daily Purifying Cloths (25 cloths)

Not used this product yet and I'm wondering when I will... I've read reviews online which seem rather mixed. Some say they are fantastic, wipe all your makeup off and make you feel refreshed and others say they've used better and they are nothing special.

I shall use them soon and update you on my thoughts...

These two products also came in the gift set, but I forgot when taking the pictures, again, oops :)

  SEXY MOTHER PUCKER™ Lip Lacquer in Charm Offensive 7ml

I LOVE THIS LIP GLOSS.

                    It gives a great amount of colour and it is pretty long wearing for a lip gloss. It smells good too :)

I usually wear it over the top of a lipstick and the one I use is Brave my MAC. They look so lovely together or even alone! Im not a lipgloss lover as I wear lipstick almost everyday but this I have found really lovely to wear.

Its not gooey or sticky and applies really well on to your lips!

Here is the link to this lipstick if you are at all interested.

THICK & FAST™ Super Volume Mascara 

I've tried many mascaras since applying makeup and experimenting different types but this mascara I've found to be fabulous for that fuller looking lash. It does have a lot of product when you apply it, however it separates the lashes amazingly! Big full lash effect.

Anddd finally THE RIGHTEOUS BUTTER™ Body Butter 300ml.

This stuff is the definition of a dream. 

It's creamy and smooth and the smell just makes me want to eat it and lasts forever on your skin. It has a very prominent smell and is a thick substance but works into the skin beautifully.I've found great to use after shaving your legs as it just makes them feel so silky smooth. A must! 

The only issue with this however is the size. Personally I would take this product away with me but the tub is huge and rather heavy! There is a smaller version though which would be much more practical. 

I see this was a rather long blog, but this was a review of 11 products I suppose.

I hope I've given you an insight into the content on this box and maybe you'll try some out for yourself?

My Top 3 would be...

SUGAR CRUSH™ Body Scrub 

SEXY MOTHER PUCKER™ Lip Lacquer in Charm Offensive 

THE RIGHTEOUS BUTTER™ Body Butter 

Not sure whether this blog is interesting to read or a topic I will continue to write about but I enjoy reviewing products and it's something that makes me happy :)

What body products do you like using most?
