Love your tootsies.

So up for review today are some Soap & Glory products. 

+ Hand Food - Hydrating Hand Cream
+ Heel Genius - Foot Mask 
+ Foot Buffer

Yes, these three products are for some pampering ladies. Your poor little feet neeeeed to be looked after. I've only started doing it since I moved to uni... Because I have too much time on my hands.. but however, My feet and hands are so thankful! 


So i've just got home from work, 7 hours on my feet. Aaaaa heel genius, I praise you. I slap some of this on, give myself a nice foot massage to absorb the product, then put some slipper socks on. By putting the socks on, it allows the product to really get to work, absorbing into your tired, aching feet. In the morning, wow, smooth is an understatement. However, this product really does just smell of foot cream, nothing special and no signature S&G fragrance. Slightly disappointing.

The Hand Cream has the beautiful S&G signature fragrance. Delish! It contains shea butter, macadamia oil and marshmallow?! What? But seriously, it makes your hands feel hydrates and smooth. I love using this mostly in winter and autumn when my skin tends to get quite dry.

The foot buffer really isn't just like all the other foot buffers. It not only looks sleek but it also has 3 different foot files. I really like this tool, as the head of the file is tilted, so you can get right under your foot without getting into any awkward position.

At the bottom of the foot buffer, there is a smaller file to get to smaller places, paying more attention to specific areas. I love using this after having a bath, as my skin is softer and it can be filed down easier. I also find that it is much less painful. Win Win. Smooth feet. After filing down some hard skin, I'd massage some of the heel genius into my feet and yes you guessed it, some slipper socks. Love. 



Hope you enjoyed this review guys and I do hope that you've treated your little tootsies to some pampering!!

Sanctuary Goodies...

I ordered these 3 scrumptious products online at Sanctuary last week as there was a great 3 for 2 offer on selected products. I choose the Sanctuary Hand Cream, Body Scrub and Body Butter from the Travel & Trial section. 


So this is the Sanctuary Body Scrub.


I bought the 50ml travel Body Scrub for £2.00. It is described as 'A gentle, polishing gel body scrub that can be used daily to rejuvenate, refine and smooth skin. Fragrant patchouli, orange oil and natural pumice work together to leave skin awakened, invigorated and sublimely soft with a natural glow.'
While running myself a bath last night, I propped this on the side for its 'testing'! I massaged the scrub in circular motions on my damp skin and rinsed. This left my skin feeling brand new and soft with a gorgeous sanctuary signature scent! I suffer with patches of dry skin on my arms, so I would use this once or twice a week to smoothen my dry patches. It definitely helped by removing the dry skin, making it soft and smooth!


It then advised me to either use the Body Butter or Body Lotion.


My next purchase was the Body Butter. It's described as 'decadently rich body butter is an intensive skin booster crammed with nourishing cocoa butter and creamy shea butter. Super moisturising for instant results, this luxurious cream is laced with sweet almond oil, smoothing macadamia oil and protective vitamin E for all over pampering.'

After coming out of the bath and drying off, I applied a generous amount of the body butter and massaged it into my body. I also ensured that my dry skin patches, elbows, knees and heels had a second serving! I really enjoyed using this product, the reviews state that it helps clear dry skin! So I'm looking forward to seeing some results over the next few weeks.

I've been looking for a nice hand cream for a while, so when I seen this small 30ml tube for only £3.25!  I had to get it!


The Hand Cream is described as 'A whisper-light, non-greasy hand cream with conditioning shea butter and sweet almond oil will help restore moisture to the skin and give immediate comfort to dry hands. Your hands will be left feeling soft and smooth whilst delicately fragranced.'

I use this cream throughout the day, to soften and moisturise my hands that actually work quite a lot in school and while working at the gym. The cream is highly absorbent and leaves that gorgeous sanctuary signature scent! I'm really enjoyed this product and I find the tube clean and easy to use. However, I am on the hunt for some other Hand creams! So please leave any suggestions below!

The L'occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream and the Cherry Blossom Hand Cream look very apertising!
