Nothin' like a bit of Soap & Glory!

Since I moved to London I have become slightly obsessed with the Soap & Glory scent! My housemate had the shower gel in the first year we lived together and the smells was very suitble and fresh. In the new house, we are all a little bit in love with it, in the sense that 3 out of the 4 of us have/had the shower gel at one time. Here is a dodgey picture I took on my iphone >>

I recently ran out of my Boots Cranberry body butter, which I received in a gift set for Christmas, so on one of my trips into central London, I popped into Boots and picked up a large tub of The Righteous Body Butter, which would normally cost £9.79 for 250ml, but I used my advantage card points to pay for it! This body butter is awesome! It's thick, as you would expect from a body butter, but its not sticky, which I have found with some can be a problem. A little goes a long way with this as well! With all the heat and sun we have been having, I have been out in the sun tanning, and this has helped me maintain my tan and keep the colour glowing.

Speaking of tans, when tanning its best to have exfoliated before hand, as this helps the tan be more eve, particularly when fake tanning. Having used a sunbed for the first time the other week (tut tut I know, was only for 3 mins!) I decided it was time I got serious about exfoliation, I'm not going to pretend I have done it religiously in the past, but since buying Soap & Glory's Flake Away, I have been exfoliating every other day! This is a wonderful exfoliant that I find quite gentle, I concentrate on using it on the backs of my arms and on my legs, and when I'm shaving my legs, it gives a wonderful smooth finish! Before I forget to mention, a 300ml tub is £6.50, if you don't fancy buying a big one, try the smaller 50ml tub for £2.25 this is perfect if your going away, as again a little goes a long way!

So onto the product that got me into Soap & Glory, the Clean On Me Creamy Clarifying Shower Gel, as mentioned before my housemate had this for a long while, and it was only when I asked my sister for a bottle for Christmas I got my first "fix", using one pump and lathering it up in my loofah is enough to cover you nicely from head to toe in bubbles, with plenty left over, so needless to say I still have over half a bottle left after 6 months! This retails in Boots for £5.00 for 500 ml

You can buy Soap & Glory in most Boots stores in the UK, as well as Harvey Nichols, ASOS.com also stock it, and with international shipping, you can get your hands on it wherever in the world you are!

Magazine Madness!

As many of you will already know, UK Glamour magazine has an AMAZING offer on at the moment, the July edition came out yesterday and already its getting tough to find!

Why?

Because Glamour UK have teamed up with the amazing Benefit to bring you the ultimate freebie!

So what are the freebies? Well, you get one with each magazine, but if you're like me, and several others, you will end up buying all three (yes this means three copies of the magazine, but its well worth it!) First up is the "Badgal" eyeliner - supposedly perfect for a dark smokey eye. Secondly is the "It Stick", a cover all concealer, although only available in one colour could be a good base for eye shadows! and last but no means least "Eye Bright", a eye highlighter, designed to be used in the inner corners of your eyes to make you appear more awake! This deal is amazing, altogether the three products would normally cost you £45, and by buying 3 copies of Glamour you get all three for £6! BARGIN!

I did try to buy all 3 copies yesterday when the magazine came out, and that was tough enough! So today I went on a Glamour mission, not wanting to venture into central London, I went to nearly every newsagents and the 2 supermarkets near my house! Thankfully I found them in the last place I went to! I did feel a little weird buying three copies of the same publication, but I got talking to the newsagent, and he said I was by no means the first, and that out of this months quota they had been sent, they only have 9 COPIES LEFT!!!

If you want to take part in this AMAZING deal, I recommend getting in there VERY quickly! I'm sure that most places will get more copies in, but I can imagine these will fly off the shelves as quickly as they can be put on!!

Take care one and all, and have a fab weekend!

I've been a bad blogger =(

I have been back in London for over a week now, in fact pushing on for 2 weeks, so I must apologise for not blogging sooner!

Sorry!

Ok with that out of the way its onto the good stuff! So what have I been up to?

Well I returned to London on the 24th May, and met up with an old friend on the 25th, it was a really fun day! Then on the 26th my housemates finished there exams, which of course meant, MASSIVE NIGHT OUT!!! Starting at TGI Fridays for cocktails and then on to Zoo bar for plenty of dancing, and lots of very random photos!!!!

The weekend was then spent relaxing, shopping, drinking, the normal kinda thing!! Monday was a bank holiday so as always the day was spent doing a whole bunch of nothing!!! I have basically then just been bad and not got round to posting anything!

Tonight we are off to a house party, and then tomorrow I'm off to Guildford to visit my grandparents! I go and see them every month, and this past month seems to have dragged, so I'm looking forward to spending the day with them!

Its super hot here, which is not always a great thing, my skin blisters in the heat (I have no idea, and after yesterdays trip to the doctors it seems she doesn't either!) So I have been outside attempting to tan, and blistering my arms instead, I'm cool like that! Its very painful!!!

I'm going to try and come up with some more beauty related blogs to post this week! So be looking out for those!

Take care!
