It has to be Soap and Glory!!!

I have to admit it, I'm a Soap and Glory fiend. I love whole range, from body butters to perfume to face masks, there's nothing this brand doesn't do. It smells amazing and lives up to its promises too. I also love the packaging used, with the pictures of women and the cute bottles in all shapes and sizes- they're great to display on your dressing table. If I had the money I would buy duplicate items of every product they make, but unfortunately I don't so I have to make do with only vital purchases. One day, I tell myself, I shall own it all.

My Soap and Glory Collection

The 'Fab Pore' face mask. £6
This little pot of goodness shrinks pores and prevents pore clogging. It contains vitamins C and E, kaolin (or clay) and salcylic acid, all which contribute to fabulously smooth skin. Just massage the product onto your face until all the little green exfoliating beads have gone, leave on for five to 15 minutes, and voila, pore-fect face.

Moisturusing body mist. £6
These body mists come in a variety of scents, each as wonderful as the next. Not only do they smell lovely but they also give a burst of moisture when applied. Use post-shower for an all over moisture session, or carry one in your bag and spritz on whenever needed for a moisturisung scent that lasts all day long.

'The Righteous Butter Body Lotion'
For a more intensive moisturisation than the body mist, use this body butter. The lotion comes in a handy bottle with a cute little pump so you cant squirt out more than you need! At £6.50 it's one of the cheaper body butters in the range but still leaves the body baby soft.

'Eau de Soap and Glory Formula 2'.
This perfume smells lush. And it's suitable for every day wear as its scent isn't overpowering. It comes in a bottle with cute little tassles in a box which closes magnetically. It's only £15- bargain!

Candy Nails


It's all about soft, pretty colours right now. Barry M do a fab collection of nail varnishes that stay put and remain sheer. Apply two coats of this fast drying polish for the ultimate chip-free nails. At £2.95 a bottle you cant go wrong.

Spring is finally here :)

Hair

Plaits are massive news this season. Wear hair extentions to add volume to them and give your hair extra length. Go for messy, loose braids or twists for the ultimate Spring style.

Make-up

Go for pastel shades of eyeshadow, lilac, baby pink and blue. For cheeks opt for coral / apricot colours swept lightly across the cheekbone. Finish the look with nude lips for daytime glamour. For evening chic switch the clear lips for red lipstick.

Beauty

Spring is the time to begin the summer preparations. Use body lotion daily to ensure your skin is in optimum condition for the warm days ahead. Use a moisturiser with a hint of self tan to give your self a bit of extra colour, we all feel better when we're not pasty!

Perfume

Steer clear from heavy, over-powering perfume. Spring is all about fresh, floral scents.
