A Little Bit Addicted.



These are times when you come to the conclusion that you may just have a teeny tiny addiction to a brand- I think I'm soap & Glory mad.

Is it the packaging? Hell yes!


Is it the product? Yes, sweet sickly goodness I just love it.

*Warning sweet and sickly haters look away now*

I didn't want this post to become to rambley wordy. So I have grouped all of the products and tried to keep it as short as possibly (that's very hard for me.)

Shower Gels, at £6.50 each these bad boys don't come cheap but boy do they last! I've literally owned some of these for over a year, with every day usage I'm still nowhere near finishing, a little goes a long way and the pump is super handy.


Scrubs, come summer (and winter it really should be an all year round thing) I love to get my buff on. The breakfast scrub and the sugar crush scrub can get a little clumpy but when you get the hang you really can get a good scrub going on! The 'pulp friction' scrub by far has to be the best! Easy to work into the skin and no clumpiness. All of these scrubs get your skin looking smooth soft and sexy in no time (and they smell divine too.)



Hand bits and bobs,these are my desk staples I very rarely stray from the S&G hand sanitizer and hand moisutirser for two reasons. 1. Moisturised hands minus the grease 2, none drying sanitizer that smells yummy! Nothing more to say here.



Face bits, 'Peaches and cream clean' removes literally every last trace of make up! It smells lovely and really gets the job done my skin can be pretty sensitive but this seems to really work for me.

What are your favourite soap and glory products? Does anyone have recommendations I think my next purchase will be the 'One heck of a blot'...

Ojon Haircare




Before trying these two products I have to admit I'd never heard of Ojon (the boots here isn't the most well stocked) but deary me have I been missing out. After scouring the web I couldn't find many reviews for these two gems so here we go...


My hair is super duper frizzy and extremely hard to tame, I tend to blow dry my hair quite a lot *slaps wrist* when doing so I like to use some sort of heat protector this product from Ojon is a two in one wonder! This tames the frizz, makes my hair ultra soft, acts as a heat protectant and some how manages to decrease drying time I'm not sure how it does all this but I'm certainly not complaining. This is a cream like texture and smells absolutely divine.


First can we admire how cute my teeny weeny sample is? It's too cute. I recently took this away on holiday as you can see its pretty much still full. As with all hair oils a tiny bit goes a long way! This makes my hair super shiny, super healthy and super sleek. This also smells lush, I just really can't fault this. It's a multi use product, I use this before shampoo on dry hair as a deep treatment, on wet hair before blow drying and on dry hair to add shine and a frizz free finish to the. This completely blows the Morrocon Oil out of the water in my opinion. As soon as my cute little sample comes to an end ill definitely be purchasing this, at this steep price it's still worth it.

Do you have any favourite Ojon products?

Hope everyone enjoyed the bank holiday

Laura Mercier



Products mentioned 



A few months ago on my monthly trip for everyday essentials I somehow found myself sat in a seat having make up plastered on my face how does this always seem to happen to me!

 I like browsing various make up counters, swatching, dithering but all at my own pace but in my lifetime I have had so many bad experiences with make up counters, from pushy sales assistant to terrible shade matching it's a huge bug bearer of mine-but that’s a whole different story!

Anyway, I somehow managed to empty my purse on some Laura Mercier products through choice? I think not! Through a pushy sales assistant probably the case here are my thoughts and reviews below…

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser Oil Free- On my ‘unexpected’ make over the makeup artist used the normal tinted moisturiser I was somehow persuaded into buying the oil free version as they didn’t have any stock left. I know lots of people seem to love this and part of me can see why dewy, lightweight nice amount of coverage. But for me this is just pretty much average.  I still find myself reaching for this on a daily basis but I think that’s purely through the guilt of the hefty price tag (not me actually wanting to use it.) If you already have great skin then this would probably work (even though if your skin is fab there’s really no need for foundation at all!) Despite this being 'oil free' if you have combination/oily skin this might not work particularly well 12 o’clock blot is definitely required with this. Pat on the back for Laura Mercier though as they cater for all skin tones, unlike other brands who seem to think a light/medium in tinted moisturiser is sufficient.

Foundation Primer, one word to sum this up is 'meh.' I've been using this for a few months now, and although the primer feels nice and light on the skin and isn't silcone based (no nasty smells here) the performance is still a bit 'meh.' This doesn't increase the staying power of my make up, make up doesn't seem to apply any better with this on. It's a basic no frills kind of primer. For the price I expected something a little more. I'm struggling to find anything positive here... *moving on swiftly* 

Translucent Setting Powder, this was definitely the stand out product here. Although there are no claims I find this powder none cakey it provides a sort of soft focus to the skin and controls oil very well! This is entirely translucent and does not make your skin appear ashy or grey. 

Do you like Laura Mercier? Has anyone tried the Silk creme foundation I think this might be one of my next purchases...
