Moisture.. Moisture.. GLOSS

Last night, I decided to not just sit and watch 'The Hills' (Season 6 - Heidi Montag and that surgery) but start a bit of a pamper session as well. Ready for the weekend, I wanted to give my tired and bruised (where do they come from?!) legs some TLC. I'm not very good at consistently applying moisturiser or having a constant beauty regime - I usually just apply as and when I feel necessary, this is usually in a panic before a night out.

So, to start I used; Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Butter (£10.50)

I bought this from Boots when it was on 3 for 2 (as it almost always is) and at the time, the smell was what attracted me to do it. However, applying it at home I find the smell a little overpowering, it's lime/citrus scented - imagine a really limey summer drink in a cream format (perfect if you love limes). It's not a ridiculously heavy moisturizer but it' is quite thick, meaning it doesn't absorb as quickly as you'd like - it feels more like it's sinking in rather than absorbing. I think it's nice to compliment an outfit with a nice moisturizing shine before a night out, but as a product serving its purpose; I don't think it is overly skin-dryness-fixing (is that a word?!) I'd give it a 5/10 (Points for not attacking my sensitive skin and it will probably last a long time).


Next onto one of my hated body parts - the FEET. For this, I tried Heel Genius Foot Cream - again by Soap and Glory (£5.50). This relatively cheap cream claims to renovate "rough feet in a single overnight session" Did it do that? No. Did it soften up how my feet felt? Yes. It recommends you apply the cream and then put a sock on, but I didn't because (a) the sock monster has taken all my socks, and (b) that would feel weird. So, I applied the cream.. and it did make my feet feel nice and soft.
Is it better than a pedicure like it suggests, no. I think this product needs to be used in combination with a foot file and a foot bath. I will continue to use it though, as it does make your feet feel quite light, if your feet aren't in as bad shape as mine are and just need a bit of care - then go ahead!

Not in the theme of moisturizing, but still important - lipgloss. I love everything lipcare and Vinyl Gloss by Rimmel is one of my favourites, previously I've used 'Snog' (cringe) but I've branched out to 'be famous' which I LOVE. This roughly costs around £4.99 and really gives your lips a shine. I like to use 'Cha Cha Tint' (Benefit) as a base and then apply this on top, but either way it's lovely and non -
 sticky.
