Another great deal I found was the Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadows, Box 1 which contains 9 individual shadows, RRP £27. Cheap Smells price is £19.45 which is a 28% saving.

Revlon Nail Polishes & Superdrug Nail Remover Review

Hi Guys,

 

I've decided to put this all in one post as its all about nails :-)

I recently purchase 2 Revlon nail polishes. One 'Top Speed - Fast Drying' in shade 570 Vintage and the other, which is just a basic Revlon polish in shade 281 Classy. I absolutely love Vintage, this is the polish that I am wearing today.

I expected that I would love Classy, as I love all pink nail polish. Unfortunately, the application was rubbish. After 3 coats it was still streaky and you could still see my nail through the coverage, not to mention, it took absolutely ages to dry! Since I'm impatient, I managed to catch 3 of my nails and had to take all the polish off! The colour is, however, very beautiful and the photos do not do the shade justice (It looks orangey on the photos but it isn't at all). It is a really pretty shimmery light pink and I was originally very excited to try it on my nails! I'm very disappointed with this polish as I expected to love it! Revlon polishes are usually amazing quality at a brilliant price but this one just didn't hit the mark.


However, Vintage is absolutely amazing!! I only needed to apply one coat to get an opaque coverage. The picture below shows me wearing a base coat, one coat of Vintage and a top coat. I have been wearing this for 4 days now and I have had no chips! (the photo was taken today). The colour is a very deep purpley red/pink and looks amazing once applied to the nails!! It also lives up to the claim that it dries in 60 seconds! I absolutely love quick drying nail polishes, as I mentioned above, I am very impatient when waiting for nail polish to dry. This shade is definitely worth trying!

Classy can be found HERE for £3.35 (RRP £5.99) and vintage can be found HERE for yet again, £3.35 (RRP 5.99) - I love the Perfume Click's website, you can get great quality products at discounted prices! If I had paid full price for Classy, I think I would be quite annoyed that it wasn't great quality.  

Here is the picture I took today after 4 days of wearing Vintage:



Moving on to nail polish remover...
I needed some more so whilst I was buying a few other bits from Superdrug I decided to buy some. It was just lucky that Superdrug's own brand was on offer at 3 for 2 so me being me and loving a good deal I bought 3! I bought 3 different ones, the first one is an acetone formula (purple), the second is acetone free (blue) and the third is acetone free with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E (peach). The purple one contains Glycerine and claims to prevent your nails from drying out. It did feel very moisturising when using on my nails. The only thing to note with this one is that you cannot use it on acrylic nails due to it containing acetone. The peachy one is also very moisturising and soothing due to it containing Aloe Vera & Vitamin E and claims to help protect and condition the nail. The blue one is just a standard acetone free nail polish remover. They all worked in the same way when it came to removing nail polish and I only needed a small amount on one cotton pad to take off all the polish from both hands! It even removed staining when I removed a very bright red shade from my nails! It also tested well when using it to remove any mistakes with a cotton bud when painting my nails. I am very pleased I bought them! I usually use the Cutex range as I trust the brand. I have now found a new favourite though! I would highly recommend this nail polish remover to anyone! For only £1.39 a bottle, it is an absolute bargain!

They can be found HERE for £1.39 each.

 

I am thinking of doing a NOTW post every week - let me know if you would like me to do it! :-)

Soap & Glory Body Butter Review

Hi Guys,

 

Today I have two Soap & Glory products to talk about. First of all I have the Soap & Glory Righteous Body Butter 300ml and secondly I have the Soap & Glory Daily Smooth Body Butter 250ml.

 

I absolutely love all the Soap & Glory products and I especially love both of these body butters! I think they are great value for money and last for ages! And to make them even more appealing, Soap & Glory do not test on Animals!

 

 

 

The Righteous Body Butter contains Aloe Vera and Shea Butter to make your skin especially smooth and soft. The smell is absolutely AMAZING! I cannot describe what it smells of other than Bergamot ( The scent I would associate with Soap & Glory) I am addicted to anything that has Bergamot in it. Soap & Glory say that the scent contains aroma's of leafy greens, bergamot and mandarin, with a floral and fruity edge followed by soft, sexy, musk, oakmoss, amber and woody notes. The scent lingers for a very long time which is great! I love how this product applies to the skin and how little product you need. It rubs in so easily yet the formula is so thick, creamy and smooth to give you a perfect velvety finish. Soap & Glory compare it to wearing velvet! It advises on the back of the pot to use it on damp skin after showering but personally I use it any time of the day! I think they recommend to use it on damp skin because the formula is so thick. I particularly like using this product on my feet, elbows and knees as it seems to hydrate them instantly and the hydrated feeling lasts until you next shower! I tend to stick to using this on the dryer parts of my body and I use the Daily Smooth over the rest of my body. It can be used all over the body though, its just me being greedy again and wanting to use more than one product! You also get a massive 300ml of product! I have had this since Christmas and I am still yet to use the whole pot up! It retails for £10.50 which I think is exceptionally good value compared to other body butters on the market.

The Daily Smooth is one of my main staple products and something that I use on a daily basis. It contains the same scent as the 'Mist You Madly' body spray, another scent that I absolutely love! If you haven't smelt this before then I can only describe it as very floral and fragrant, once again it contains Bergamot. Maybe this is the reason I love all of the Soap & Glory products! I would also class the scent as very flirty! As I've mentioned before, Scent is one of the most important factors to me when I am buying beauty products! As stated above, the scent also lingers with this product! I don't think I have used a Soap & Glory product where the scent doesn't stick around for a very long time. This product is great at combating dry skin and leaving your whole body feeling hydrated, smooth and soft. It contains rosehip seed oil and cocoa butter so you know you are going to get great results! What is great about this product is that once you have massaged it all in to your body it doesn't leave a sticky wet residue behind so you can get dressed almost instantly and because you have to massage the product in to your skin, it gives you a great excuse to spend time massaging! Once again, you only need a tiny amount to moisturise your whole body as the formula is quite thick and creamy. This product is also great value, it retails for £9 and I have the current bottle for over 3 months now - using it everyday!

 

  

Top marks go to Soap & glory! Not just for these two products but for every product they have ever made! I have lots of products from them and they never fail to disappoint!

Another thing to note is that currently all the Soap & Glory range is on offer for 3 for 2 at Boots! To take a look at the current promotion, please click HERE.

 I know I will be going and buying more Soap & Glory soon! 

 

Let me know if you would like me to review more Soap & Glory products!
