Soap & Glory - the bigger the butter

I was out shopping at the weekend and I was really excited to get my hands on one of Soap and Glory's limited edition Righteous Butters. Im a massive Soap and Glory fan and think that their body moisturisers and scrubs are just amazing. This is one huge tub of moisturiser !! One litre to be precise !

This limited edition version has been infused with diamond-dust particles to give your skin a wonderful sheen from head to toe and for Righteous Butter fans it has the same wonderful original pink scent - Soap and Glory describe it as a "summery fragrance with orange leaf, lemon, peach, sweet strawberries, summer rose, gardenia blooms and jasmine" .

This feels wonderfully luxurious on the skin - I feel that its a rich, heavy body butter but it sinks in quickly leaving your skin feeling soft and moisturised. I slather this on all over after my shower in the morning onto damp skin to help lock in the moisture.

Hopefully you can see lovely sheen on my skin in the next shot.

 

If you would like to buy your own limited edition butter then head on over to Boots online and this can be yours for £25 - now you may think that this is a little steep but the 300ml size would cost you £10.50 so 3 of the 300ml tubs would cost you £31.50 and you still would need an extra 100ml of it to give you a litre ! Hope that makes sense - maths was never my subject.

If you are thinking of buying this then be quick as only 2000 of these were made and according to the Soap and Glory website as of the 14/03 there were only 1347 left.

Friday night nails

Tonight I am wearing two colours by China Glaze -

Blue Years Eve which is a vibrant royal sparkly blue with a deep magenta hue to it and Snow Globe which is an irridescent glitter polish with small and large flecks of glitter.

China Glaze is pretty new to me but I have to say that Im really impressed with the consistency, pigmentation of colour and ease of application, not to mention that the polish dries in super quick time.

This is two coats of Blue Years Eve and two coats of Snow Globe - to get this finish I lightly dabbed on the first coat of Snow Globe then brushed on the second.

Two coats of Blue Years Eve

Two coats of Snow Globe

I am really loving this and I have to say the camera really doesnt do this justice.

Blue Years Eve and Snow Globe can be purchased from Nail Polish Direct for £5.95.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Today Im wearing a fairly recent purchase - the gorgeous Mac Lustre lipstick in Syrup. This is a semi sheer lipstick with a beautiful glossy finish and it feels wonderfully moisturising on my lips. Mac describe this lipstick as a cloudy pink, I feel it has a slightly mauve tinge to it with blue undertones. Although this lipstick is a semi sheer it is still highly pigmented but I do find that I need to re-apply it more often than I would a matte lipstick - I dont find this much of a problem though because its so lovely to wear and I love the vanilla fragrance.

What lipstick are you wearing today ?

Mac Syrup can be purchased from Mac online for £13.50.

March Amarya Box

Its beauty box time again.

Im going to keep it short and sweet this month - I wasn't disappointed with this months box but I wasnt over the moon about it either. The products are fab and the Amarya box is excellent value for money but I definately think they really spoiled us with last months box. I love natural and organic products but I felt the products in this months box had more of a manly feel about them so my husband is now the proud owner of the John Masters Shampoo and Lip Calm.

This month in my Amarya box I received a full size bottle of John Masters Organics lavender rosemary shampoo which retails at £16, a full size of the John Masters Lip Calm which retails at £6, a sample of Ren anti-ageing concentrate and a sample of Inlight Daily Face Oil. You can subsribe to Amarya for just £10 a month.

Has anyone else received the Amarya Box this month ?

What did you think ?

Nanoblur Review

Hi everyone

Im sure you've all been hearing about a new wonder cream which has recently been released in the UK called Nanoblur. This cruelty free cream promises that you will "Look up to ten years younger in forty seconds or less". Thats quite a promise and when this popped up on Buyapowa a few weeks ago I thought I would give it a try even though I was a little sceptical about the results.

Nanoblur is not make up, it is made using advanced optics technology and provides "Superficial optical coverage of skin imperfections". I bought this cream to try to see if it would help the little lines which have been appearing around my eye area seemingly on a daily basis - why is it as soon as you notice a wrinkle it seems to all of a sudden get bigger overnight ?!

Nanoblur is an untinted skin cream which is not at all what I was expecting. I expected it to be more like a BB cream - which of course it's not ! Nanoblur can be used without makeup or after your liquid foundation and it helps to smooth away those imperfections. 

I have to say that I am actually astounded by the results. When you apply the cream it has a nice cooling effect on the skin and will remain there until you remove your makeup at the end of the day.

I dont find it to be drying on my face but I do have combination skin.

Nanoblur really does work - now it wont give you a face lift and make your wrinkles disappear for good but it really does help make those little lines look less visible. I find the effects quite subtle but it has definately made my eye area look alot smoother and younger - hooray !

Before

After

Nanoblur can be purchased from Boots online for £19.99 or you check out Buyapowa they will send a reminder to your email when this is back on sale. 

What do you guys think ?

Have you tried this yet ?
