Review: Soap & Glory | Whipped Clean |


A few months ago I bought this on a total whim when having a look round Boots, and I am so glad I did! The idea behind this is that its formulated to be a body wash and butter in one, saving you time when you just can't be bothered to moisturise. I find this especially useful on those chilly mornings when I don't want to wait around ages for my moisturiser to sink in.

The product is a thick white cream, which lathers up really nicely. A quarter of the shower butter is made up of 'moisture oils' including sweet almond oil (one of my faves) grapeseed oil, macadamia oil and cocoa and shea butter. All of these ingredients combined make this product smell SO GOOD! Seriously if you could actually eat it, I no doubt would! The scent is ultra sweet and reminds me of marzipan and vanilla cake... mmm! The combination of the creamy formula and the smell makes this a really indulgent shower time treat. It has lived up to its moisturising claims too as my skin does get more dry when the weather is cold and it has helped to keep that problem at bay.

I would say the only downside is that it is more expensive than the large shower gels from Soap and Glory yet you get half as much product. This still wouldn't put me off repurchasing this but I like to save it as more of a treat rather than an every day shower gel.

Review: Garnier 7 Days Intensive Moisturisers


This post may seem a bit late as these launched in the Summer, but I've just repurchased another bottle so thought it would be an apt time to give my thoughts on them. You can normally get these on offer if you shop around and I think they are great value for money, especially as there are a large range of scents and key ingredients for different skin types.

I try to moisturise every day although I know a lot of people don't due to time issues or laziness! These are great for those who don't want to have to apply every day as they leave your skin soft and moisturised for a good few days - I'm not sure I would say a whole 7 days but definitely the better part of a week. I really like the smell of both of these and I have my eye on the honey scent too. I've just finished the mango one which was featured in a recent empties post, and I used this over summer - it lasted a long time and was great nourishment for sunburnt/tanned skin and the product had a thin consistency so sunk in quickly. I also featured it in my Holiday Heroes post. The Shea butter version is definitely thicker in consistency which I think suits my winter skin type, so takes a little while longer to sink into my skin but it is still really quick compared to other moisturisers and body butters. 

I really recommend these as they are a bargainous price and offer the moisture of a body butter that skin abused by winter needs, while taking away the fuss and time consuming nature of every day moisturising.

Have you given any of these ago? What is your favourite in the range? xxx
