I have a crush - Sugar crush.

I think the title of this post is enough, don't you? 

I am seriously in love with this product. Soap and Glory have an amazing range of products at the moment, targeting all ages and skin types. But Sugar Crush has to be my favourite. I love to just open the lid and smell the product let alone use it. How sad it that... yes a serious product crush. 

Now the scent, how do I describe it? It's not the usual S&G scent. It says 'sweet lime' which I think sums it up quite well but there's a sweetness to it too! Seriously, its smells good enough to eat. 

Even if you don't need a new body scrub or don't want to try it... please just go open a tub and smell! You'll thank me I'm sure.

You can purchase this from Boots here. 

The scrub contains 'smashed brown sugar', 'almond oil' and 'macadmamia grains' all in one tub, fighting together against dry and flakey skin! My hero.

I use this around 2-3 times a week to get rid of any flakey dry skin. The scrub literally makes my skin feel brand new, clean and fresh. I wouldn't use this over 3 times, puerly because I don't think my skin needs to be 'scrubbed' that many times a week. I think it could end up doing damage rather than nourishing my skin. 


Soap and Glory are also adding some more products to the 'Sugar Crush' range - 


My bank account just shed a tear. hehe. 
Well we all have to spoil ourselves right? and we all have to take care of our skin right?

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!
