My Soap & Glory Collection

I've been debating whether or not to write this post for a while now. If you follow me on Instagram then you'll know I post a lot on beauty products, especially my love for Soap & Glory and I get quite a few comments asking to see my whole collection so I thought I'd do it in a blogpost and break it down in products. This is in no means me bragging about what I have, it's what my followers and readers have asked to see, so please don't leave any negative comments about me 'showing off'
Soap & Glory are one of my favourite brands for skin and body care, I especially love using these products for a little pamper, especially as they smell so great! It's also a fairly inexpensive brand which is probably why I have so much, because it doesn't really break my bank balance, especially when it's all on offer at Boots with 3 for 2!
- Clean Mary Cleansing Milk
- Great Shakes Hand Cream
- Girligo Body Moisturising Mist 250ml - £6.50

 So there you have my Soap & Glory collection. For some of the products there will be reviews coming soon, if there is something which you specifically want to see then leave me a comment! I don't think I'll ever stop buying and adding to my collection, I'm addicted to the smell and the quality of the products. The cute, quirky packaging is just a bonus!

Do you have a Soap & Glory obsession too?!

Showering With Liz Earle

It's no secret that I'm a huge lover of Liz Earle, I think their products are just fantastic. I haven't come across one which I don't think has worked for me or I've agreed with. All products just do wonders for my skin. At Christmas I received a gift set with these three products in which you can each be brought individually and come from the Energising range. I've now popped these into my travel bag as they are the perfect size for taking away with me and pampering myself on my travels.
Energising Body Wash 
The energising body wash is great for those early morning starts as the scent is really refreshing and really wakens you up. I can be easily put off a product if the scent is too over powering, but luckily this isn't. I'm also not much of a lover of the scent Rose, but it isn't the strongest scent in the product. I love how easily the product foams up too, as sometimes I find I need loads of product to get a good lather to be able to wash myself properly. For a 100ml bottle the product is £8.75 but a 200ml bottle can be brought for £12.00
Energising Body Scrub
 To me, Body Scrubs are Body Scrubs but I particularly like this one from Liz Earle. It's quite soft and isn't like sandpaper as sometimes I find some scrubs to be too harsh on my skin and at the end my skin is left red and raw as if it's just had layers taken off it. Fortunately, Liz Earle has got her formula just right and you could even use this each day for that extra softness. With the scrub I could smell more hints of tea-tree than I could with the Body Wash, but it's still just as lovely and refreshing. A 50ml tube which I have retails at £6.00 and a 200ml retails at £14.00. This is a product which I'll definitely be repurchasing in the near future.
Energising Body Lotion
Recently, I've been beginning to moisturise my body daily, or as often as possible. Now lots of people will say 'how on earth do you have time for that?!' and I have to agree that sometimes it can be a bit time consuming, which is why I always hunt for the moisturisers which aren't sticky and don't take a long time to dry. I thought that this moisturiser would be one which I wouldn't use because it would be too rich and would take too long to dry. Well I couldn't have been further wrong. A little really does go a long way with this product, it soaks into the skin quickly and easily, which means you're not there forever trying to rub it in, and finally, it's incredibly quick drying. That's not even the best part, the best part is that along with the easy application it is also incredibly moisturising and luxurious. I find myself reaching for this moisturiser in the evenings too as I love the hint of Lavender in it, I find it incredibly relaxing. This product was such a hit for me that I've already purchased the 150ml tube for £18.00, the 30ml tube can also be brought for £5.25.

I've found these travel sized products a great way for testing and trying out new products to see if you do like the product, they are now stored away in my travel wash bag ready for any adventures I'll be going on. I know that these products are a little pricey, but everyone deserves a bit of luxury every now and then, and they're great for birthdays and Christmas, There just isn't any faulting Liz Earle.

Have you tried Liz Earle? What's your favourite product?

Rituals Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk Body Cream.

Good evening lovelies. Today has been rather an off key day and after having built up so much negativity and upset emotions I decided the only way to get rid of it was to hit the gym. I've been loving going to the gym recently, but my favourite part is always coming home, having a nice bath or shower and just relaxing which is where the point of this post comes in.
There is nothing I love better than smothering myself in Rituals Magic Touch Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk body cream. I received the body cream in December's glossybox and instantly fell in love with it. I've never tried any Rituals products before and I have to say my first experience using the body cream has left me craving for more.
 
I really cannot stand anything remotely Cherry flavoured or scented so I was relieved when this didn't actually have the scent of Cherry. It really reminds me of a Johnson's Baby product. A light fragrance with a hint of sweetness. The moisturiser is also really rich which is perfect for my extra dry skin in these winter months, which is why I find it really luxurious after my nice hot soak in the bath or shower.
 
For a 70ml sized product which is the one which I have, the moisturiser retails at £5.00. For a 200ml sized product, it retails at £15.00.
 
Have you tried any Rituals products before? I can't wait to try others!

#78 I'm Going Skin Care Crazy!

If you've been reading Beautiful Nellies then you'll know that recently I really want to improve my skin and my skin care routine, so I've been searching for the best products which are going to try and work wonders on my skin! Since my last post on the No7 Beautiful Skin my skin really has improved so if you're looking for a starter kit or something to get you into it then I recommend you read my post back in June on it and purchase the starter kit!

The other day whilst hitting Superdrug I also noticed that they had cut their prices on some of their skin care products so I had to buy them so that I can test them all out and compare them.
The most expensive item which I brought was £3! Can you believe it?! No! Neither could I!
I picked up this Facial Wash Gel which was only £2 and I love testing new face washes, because I really want to see if it does what it says on the tin. Well this time on the bottle! And plus there is no such thing as a too clean a face!
Next up is Simple's Eye Make-Up Remover I absolutely love this product and had to repurchase it after seeing it was only £3!
Finally, I picked up Simple's Replenishing Rich Moisturiser for £2 as you all know I suffer with really dry skin so I want to see if finally this is the magic cure for me!
 
I can't wait to start testing all the products! So keep you eyes peeled for the reviews!
