Mini Soap&Glory Haul and Review (and Ted Baker Discovery)

Hello to you!

Today my brother went to Boots to get his glasses fixed, and I had money so of course I took this opportunity to spend it all! I went straight to the Soap and Glory section as you probably would expected, and I found some lovely things as usual. I wanted to buy something a bit different this time, and there was a 3 for 2 deal! (I also discovered a cosmetic line by someone called Ted Baker, and some of the stuff was pretty cool...new found obsession? Watch this space!) So here's what I got:

• Soap & Glory Glam-A-Lot Body Spray (250ml) - £6.50
• Soap & Glory Scrub 'Em and Leave 'Em Body Buff (50ml) - £2.50
• Ted Baker London Body Spray (150ml) - £5
• Soap & Glory Hand Mail Gel (Hand Sanitizer, 50ml) - £2.50

Left to Right - S&G Glam-A-Lot, Ted Baker Body Spray, S&G Hand Maid, S&G Body Buff.

1. This is Soap & Glory's Body Spray, Glam-A-Lot. Soap & Glory have 2 main body sprays, which are Mist You Madly and the one above. It reads: Fragrant Body Spray, with Fresh Flowers layered on a Woody, Vanilla Musk Base. *Sprays* It has a really nice smell to it, very musty but with a really nice floral smell. The packaging is gorgeous, but the bottle itself looks rather disappointing. (Will add picture below) It was only £6.50 and I think it will last quite a while, so it's a pretty good price! I would definitely recommend it, and I think it's the perfect scent for anywhere really. I can imagine wearing this at a festival, or wearing it to a fancy dinner party with family! I really like this, and now I am sat here smelling my top as it's soooooo lovely :) 4/5

2. This is the Ted Baker London Body Spray. It comes in a simple bottle with a pretty, vintage pattern on the label which is quite sweet! Very girly, but it matches the scent quite well. *Sprays* When you first spray it, it has a really nice flowery, girly smell but after a few seconds it turns quite musty and woody as well. I like this perfume because it has a nice layer of scents which compliment each other really nicely - I sound like an old fashioned perfume chef saying that! I don't really know how else to explain it really, it has a gorgeous smelly smell. I'm going to write smell again. Smell. (This was only £5, and when you wear it you feel really classy - I like it a lot!) 4/5

3. This Soap & Glory Hand Maid Gel. I think the name's a bit much as it's simply hand sanitizer, but oh well! The bottle it small and cute, perfect size for your handbag or pocket! It's a very signature Soap & Glory packaging, as it is pink and stands out, even though it's not very big. For £2.50 it's more pricey than a regular hand sanitizer, but it has a really nice smell and doesn't feel all gross and gooey after you've applied it. *Rubs hands together slightly evilly with the product* It's quite a strong smell so you can't subtly apply it while on the bus or anything, but it is really nice and fruity. Personally, I think it's too pricey to be an essential hand sanitizer, but occasionally it is a really nice product to buy. I'm only giving this 3/5 as it is too expensive, but apart from that, it is great!

4. This is Soap & Glory Body Buff. So far I have never tried this so I can't give a full review, but let me try give you some details. It reads: Soap & Glory Scrub 'Em and Leave 'Em body buff with Babassu Oil and Sea Salt. It smells really sweet and earthy, it's quite hard to explain as it isn't their usual scent...it smells a bit biscuit-y! Rather than a smooth lotion or anything, it's a product you have to scoop out of the pot...there are little exfoliating beads inside which are pink, so it looks pretty good! I'm looking forward to trying this, and i'll have to do a proper review after trying it a few times. Judging a book purely by its cover, i'd rate this 4/5. Watch this space!

Thanks for reading, I am now feeling slightly sick as I am surrounded by so many sweet smells now! I should probably leave the room soon...hope you enjoyed this mini haul/review post, I may do a youtube video about it soon if you want to check out my channel! (LottieRa2197)

Let me know if you have tried any of these products and what you think of them. If there are any new products you think I should review or anything, let me know in the comments!

School Makeup Routine

Hello to you!

Today i'm doing to be writing (well, typing) about some makeup ideas for school, and what I personally wear at school. This is the list of basic makeup that you can personally pick & choose from for your makeup routine! (In advance, in no way I am an expert in makeup...I just chuck in on my face and hope it doesn't look too bad! Haha)

Face:

Concealer
Powder
Foundation
Blusher
Bronzer?

Eyes:

Mascara
Liquid/Pencil Eyeliner
Eyeshadow


Lips:

Lipgloss/Lipstick

Now I know there are loads of makeup thingy-mabobbies I could include, but you really don't need more than this for school. Ok so this is what makeup I wear to school!

Face:

Foundation (I don't always wear it, only if my skin looks really bad or something!)
Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

Powder (even if you don't wear foundation, I like wearing a bit of powder just to stop your skin looking shiny)
Natural Collection in Light/Medium

Blusher (if i'm wearing a bit more makeup than usual, i'll use a light blusher because you don't want to make the colour too strong - you'll end up looking like a clown!)
Soap & Glory Love at first Blush

Eyes:

Mascara (I must say, I wear a ridiculous amount of mascara - In year 8 I used to wear 6 or 7 different types mascaras and wore about 12 coats! Nowadays I don't overdo it as much, but I still wear a lot.)
Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Mascara

Eyeliner (Always be careful to not overdo the eyeliner or you could end up looking like a raccoon!)
Liquid Eyeliner - Soap & Glory
Pencil Eyeliner - BarryM Kohl Eyeliner in Black

Eyeshadow (I prefer to go for neutral colours as bright colours can look really tacky if you put on too much)
MUA 'Glamour Days' Eyeshadow Palette

Lips:

Lipgloss (Now if I had a choice of big eyes or big lips, I would go for big eyes but I do have a surprising amount of lip products. I only really wear lipgloss on school days, but occasionally i'll wear a more 'nude' colour lipstick...nothing too bright!)
Lip Balm - Miss Sporty Dr Balm
Lip Gloss - Natural Collection in Cherry Drop
Lipstick -BarryM

So that's it I think, thanks for reading! Leave a comment letting me know what your school makeup favourites are, and feel free to give me some post requests/ideas as i've been quite busy recently and haven't been able to think of blog posts to do!
