Love: Soap & Glory The Breakfast Scrub

After years of mumbling 'meh' at the sheer mention of Soap & Glory I finally have a firm fave from the brand taking pride of place in my shower. Last year I tried Pulp Friction and loved it but the scent is hideous, really synthetic which puts me off from using it as much as I'd like to. In my opinion the same can't be said about The Breakfast Scrub, it smells incredible! I'm sure it's as synthetic as they come but to my nose it smells like walking into a room filled with hot pancakes and waffles smothered in maple syrup. Yum!

The scrub itself is just as good as the scent, it's jam packed with organic capuacu bio scrubs? No, I've never heard of the before either! Oats, shea butter, sugar, banana, almond and honey extracts. The scrub is so densely packed that a little really does go a long way, it clings on to damp skin and unlike most scrubs, it doesn't end up doing a disappearing act down the plug hole. I find it works best when the skin is only slightly damp, it allows me to really get my scrub on then I can add more water if I want to spread it further. I love how no residue is left on the skin, it rinses off clean which make's it a good one to use before applying fake tan. I get a few dry pacthes on my body from time to time but don't find The Breakfast Scrub makes it any worse nor does it irritate my skin even though it gives one helluva scrub!

I'm in love and will definitely be running to Boots as soon as this pot runs out. It isn't the cheapest scrub out there, it's £8 but it's fantastic and Soap & Glory products are always on offer.

Have you tried The Breakfast Scrub Before?

Lately I've Been Lovin' #11

I didn't get to blog about my favourites last month due to my internet & Blogger plotting against me so this post is for June & July. A couple of products (The Breakfast Scrub & Zoeva Powder Brush) I didn't get untill near the end of the month but they're already firm faves! If I've reviewed any of the products I'll add links.

L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution: Not only is this good at removing mascara but it's always on offer which make's it really affordable. It's often BOGOF or half price so stock up when you can. (link)

YUKO Anti-Frizz Shampoo*: There's nothing better than trying out and falling in love with brands I've never heard of before. From the first use I knew this bottle of frizz smoothing amazingness would make it into my monthly faves. It smells lovely and even before adding conditioner I could tell this shampoo ment business.

Soap & Glory The Breakfast Scrub: I've never been a big fan of Soap & Glory but last year I tried Pulp Friction for the first time and loved everything about it apart from the scent. Fast forward a few months and I'm a die hard The Breakfast Scrub lover. It smells like maple syrup, the scent is really addictive, and the scrubby bits are so densely packed that you get one helluva exfoliation. I always thought this was an oily scrub that would leave an oily residue on my skin but it isn't. It rinses away clean but doesn't leave the skin feeling stripped.

Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara: I've read a lot of mixed reviews on this mascara. My lashes without mascara look as if I've straightened them and not many mascara's actually curl and manage to hold a curl so I stayed well away untill finding it in a local outlet store for £2.99. It's the best £2.99 I've ever spent, my lashes love it! It's nice and black, lengthens, holds a curl and doesn't flake or irritate my eye's at all. I'll be going back for more.

Macadamia Deep Repair Masque*: This beauty has made it into my Holy Grail list. It's fantastic! Expensive but worth it, I'll make sure I'm never without this product. You can read more about it's magic powers here.

MAC Paint Pot 'Painterly': Another product I'd thought about getting for the longest time but never did untill a few weeks back. If you're like me and get bored from all the constant MAC fangirling and have no desire to jump onboard that bandwagon or try anything from the brand, please make this the exception. It's a fantastic product and something I reach for on an almost daily basis. It blanks out discolouration/veins on the lid and can be worn alone for a clean eye look or used as primer.

Diesel Loverdose: Diesel fragrances don't usually get my attention but last year I fell in love this this after receiving a sample with a Debenhams order. I have a 30ml bottle that lives in my bag but treated myself to this 50ml bottle last week when it was reduced to £20. It's one of those scents that last all day and always get you some compliments

100% Pure Lip Glaze 'Peach Bellini*: Gorgeous products, gorgeous packaging, gorgeous brand. Most natural make up brands I've tried haven't been very good. The colours are usually boring, lack pigmentation and the textures are questionable but not with 100% pure. I wouldn't have known this was a 100% natural brand if I'd tried the products blind. This lip glaze sits somewhere between a tinted lip balm and a lipstick. It's buildable, you can get an almost opaque finish and the colour is just lovely.

Zoeva 106/Powder Brush: I haven't tried many powder brushes and even thought I've only had this for around a week I can already tell you it's the best I've ever tried. I'll try to get a more detailed post up soon on this and the pencil brush.

Have you tried any of these products?
