:O The Shock! I Actually Like The Smell of Soap & Glory’s Whipped Clean Shower Butter!

20121022 104210 :O The Shock! I Actually Like The Smell of Soap & Glorys Whipped Clean Shower Butter!

Soap & Glory are one of my favourite bath and body brands and I think my favourite drug store brand come to think of it, however the smell of their products just rub me the wrong way. They’re far too sweet and are like a saccharine overload, but there’s the odd moment where I think ‘hmm they don’t smell that bad’ however those moments are frankly few and far between. But what if I were to tell you I came across a product of theirs that actually smells bearable? Something that not just 15 year old girls like? Well it’s true; I came across what I thought was the impossible and it’s the Soap & Glory Whipped Clean and I just had to run away with it because it smelled so good!

Whipped Clean doesn’t smell like your average Soap & Glory product, rather it smells like whipped pistachios, vanilla and almond and considering it’s from Soap & Glory, I just can’t stop sniffing it! Not only does it smell delicious, it’s packed with super moisturising oils and butters (25% to be exact) including sweet almond oil, grapeseed oil, macadamia nut oil and cocoa & shea butters which would obviously give it a different consistency to other shower products. It’s very creamy and buttery which I really love, but that made me question whether it’d be able to lather up and to my surprise it actually lathers a lot better than many other products I’ve used; I used the tiniest amount and managed to get a lot of lather.

When I’m out of the shower, my skin is quite soft and moisturised which is great as I’ll be needing something a little moisturising during the winter, however it’s not so moisturising that I’d forgo using a moisturiser. To keep up with the pistachio goodness I follow up with Nip + Fab Pistachio Sundae Body Butter* and everything just smells delicious and pistachio-y!

Super moisturising, smells great and is from Soap & Glory! Who’d have thought?

I’ve Always Dreamed of Visiting Turkey

Turkey is number one on the list of countries I’d love to visit and I’ve come close to going to Turkey many a time, but somehow it’s just never worked out. Sad, no? Sad indeed but on a recent trip to LUSH (I take far too many of those trips, my bank account weeps when I leave LUSH) I found the wonderful invention that is the Turkish Delight Shower Smoothie which is a blend of soap, moisturising cocoa butter, almond oil, rose absolute, jasmine absolute and neroli oil which is most definitely one of the best things sitting on the shelves of LUSH!

You just scoop out however much you like, slather it all over your skin, close your eyes and take in the smell whilst picturing the streets of Istanbul, a beach in Marmaris or the nature beside the Bosphorus. When you rinse it all off, your skin instantly silky smooth, clean and smells like a Turkish rose garden. The scent just lingers on your skin for hours and your entire house too.

While I’m not as enthusiastic about Turkish Delight as this lady below is however, I do love it so much so that I won’t let anybody else use it. Not even a drop!
