Sugar crush : Body buttercream 

Soap & Glory’s must-have moisture-extreme, re-energizing, sweet-lime scented body buttercream for supreme skin smoothing! Loaded with shea and cocoa butter, almond and coconut oil, and a super-refreshing triple whammy of lime oil, kiwi juice water, and smoothing lime tree blossom extract, Soap & Glory’s new ultra-rich body buttercream is irresistible. 

After a bath or shower on still slightly damp skin, massage a handful of Sugar Crush Body Buttercream onto your skin from your toes to your shoulders.

The Sugar crush body buttercream is a luxuriously smooth and easy to apply product. The buttercream infused with the beautiful scent, which lasts during the day. Its thick and absorbs well to moisturise the skin through the day. I love this buttercream for my morning skincare routine, as it  keeps the skin intensely moisturised. It helps keep unwanted impurities out and also is perfect for the winter months. A perfect mix of many lovely oils and butters that keep the skin looking healthy. A lovely product offering from Soap and Glory. 

Sugar crush : Body Scrub 

Body fuses freshly-squeezed sweet lime, sparkling lemons, sweet vanilla musk and almond oil, with sea salt, smashed brown sugar, glycerin and macadamia oils to leave your skin feeling smooth, supple, and sexy. Miraculous on dry legs, elbows, it’s energizing, exhilarating, amazing.

Scrub in the shower once, twice, or three times weekly, depending on the level of scaliness you struggle with.

Beautiful scrub that really does come in handy during these winter months when dry skin can cause flakey skin. Again infused with oils and butters to help moisturise the skin during exfoliation. I would advise that you use this scrub on the body, with gentle motions to obtain the most from this scrub. Its refreshing and with the infusion go lime and lemon scents, certainly makes for a lovely morning awakening. 

Sugar crush : Body wash & Body polisher 

Body Wash (which doubles as bath bubbles) mixes mouth-watering kaffir limes, sparkling lemons, sweet vanilla musk and coconut oil. Energizing, revitalizing – it’s an instant wake up call for tired minds and bodies, with Cool Capsule X to cool and refresh, radiance-boosting Kiwi water juice and a super creamy M-Suds moisture-boosting base.

This shower body wash is the perfect moisturising soap and soak product. It can be used in the shower or to give you a luxurious bubble bath. Whichever you decide, i personally have a shower and this release's the most intense scents that make having a shower truly more enjoyable. You won't want to leave. It doesn't take much to get a lovely full sud filled body polisher, which is perfect for the days you are not exfoliating. The body polisher is perfect for the shower wash and anyone who needs daily removal of dry skin. It is gentle on the skin and does not grate.  

This Christmas set from Soap and Glory is a beautiful gift for anyone, or even the perfect treat to yourself. If you love the Sugar crush scent or are looking for a scent with a refreshing and invigorating set of products. I would highly recommend this set. Ive loved Soap and glory products and the Christmas sets that they have released. The perfect gifts for the Christmas season and beautiful for anyone looking to try the Soap and Glory range. 

Elemis - New: Skin nourishing body scrub

So no secret that Elemis is a brand I love and trust with my skin. They have just released 2 new scrubs and I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to review one of them. The Skin nourishing body scrub is enriched with natural exfoliators and just what you need if your adding that tan or suffering with dry skin from the heat. 

They say ..... 

Rich and creamy for super skin nourishment!

This luxurious creamy body scrub contains natural exfoliators of rice, bamboo and bora bora sand to gently polish the skin, whilst sweet almond, macadamia, and wheat germ oils nourish and condition. An exquisite milk protein base rich in vitamins is combined with organic oat extract to help leave skin feeling soft, supple and velvety smooth.

-------------------------------------------------------

Directions: Use 2 to 3 times a week to reveal smooth and healthy skin.Spa Tip: Works wonders to prep skin for self-tan application to ensure an even, bronzed glow. And for happy soles, pay special attention to your feet so they are smooth and healthy to show off your pedicure with confidence.
Key Benefits:
Gently polishes: A blend of small natural exfoliators - rice, bora bora sand, bamboo, apricot and cherry powder - gives a gentle polishing action for maximum results. Balances: Rich in concentrated milk protein this creamy body scrub helps balance the acid mantle. Nourishes: Formulated with a blend of sweet almond, macadamia and wheat germ oil to soften and nourish excessively dry skin. 

--------------------------------

It comes in a blue squeeze container and the other scrub is contained in a jar. This scrub I'm trailing is easy to dispense and I love all the Elemis packaging for being very classy with the logo and also there products don't let me down ever in quality. It contains a mixture of natural exfoliators which i personally love, as almonds are my favourite smell in a product with vanilla. As you can see in the picture and the miniature scrub beads within it. Then with water added what its then transforms into a creamy wash. It says sand but as you will see below it is minimal and not enough to cut or damage the skin like some harsh scrubs can, this is aimed at people needing a gentle formula to treat areas, sensitive like the feet and all over in preparation for false tan. 

Elemis - Skin nourishing body scrub 

This is not a harsh scrub, its natural and contains a lovely scent of scrub without being to abrasive or uncomfortable. Its perfect if you want a scrub that exfoliates but with a lighter touch. It spreads further and you don't need a lot to clean with and its not overloaded with the husk so you don't have to worry about your drains clogging. As I know some exfoliates and bath salt can cause problems. This dissolves to nothing and minute is left behind to wash away. 

Again I'm happy and amazed this scrub is keeping the Elemis brand so strong and moving with the years, bringing new products to the fold which they can be proud of. Its again another I would repurchase. The natural ingredients mean the scent is natural and fresh smelling, I prefer and love that the ingredients properties ensure that it will take off dead skin but also moisturise and not strip the skins natural oils and defences.

I can't wait to try the frangipani one which is a salt based scrub and can be a little more abrasive to those whose skin needs a little more help, also with all these looks the new Makeup remover is a definite must try for the makeup I use and using more natural appeals to me more. I don't think my love of Elemis will ever dampen and honestly it's a brand that I turn to when my skins just let loose to its worst. So I cannot wait to try the other new products and let you know how they perform. 

Again thank you Elemis.
