Soap and Glory



I am so easily won over when it comes to products that are packaged in such a pretty way. This is what happened to me when it came to Soap and Glory.

For years I have loved this brand. Soap and Glory can be found in Boots stores all across the UK. Unfortunately I am unsure whether these broads are sold in international stores, however I'm sure you will be able to find them online. In Boots these products are often on promotion which is fabulous but also dangerous for my addiction. Not only do these products come in pretty packaging but they smell amazing too! Below I have listed some of my favourite products from the range.



Soap and Glory Flake Away Body Scrub 

This product is absolutely insane! Not only does is smell absolutely amazing, but it exfoliates my skin beautifully during the week to help me maintain my tan and get rid of any dead skin.
Buy here: Flake Away Body Scrub

Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker XL Lip Plumping Gloss

Unfortunately we all can't have beautiful big lips and girls like me need some help sometimes. When I first purchased this gloss I was a little sceptical and doubted it would really make that much of a difference. However, it definitely delivered and gave me plumper looking lips.

Soap and Glory The Righteous Body Butter

Again the first thing I have to comment is the smell of this product- incredible! I love to lather myself in this body butter, not only does it make me smell amazing, but also helps my skin stay moisturised.

Soap and Glory Clean on Me Creamy Shower Gel

Apart from the smell, which of course is going to be amazing (spot a trend yet?), this product leaves me feeling clean and fresh all day long.
Buy here: Clean on Me Creamy Clarifying Shower Gel

Soap and Glory Drama Clean 5in1 Micellar Cleansing Water

This is by far one of the best products to remove your make-up with. I have tried multiple cleansing waters, and this one is the best by far! I guarantee, once you have used this to take your make-up off your skin will be feeling refreshed and revived.
 
Although I haven't tried out all of the Soap and Glory products, I can say that I have been delighted by each and everyone. Above are just a few of my favourites, however there has not been one product from the range that I haven't enjoyed using.

Until next time beauties, take care and have a fab day,

Kylie Jenner Inspired Make-up Look

Hello my lovelies! Today I am coming to youse with an inspired make-up look from one of the hottest young females in Hollywood right now- Kylie Jenner. Just like her sisters, Kylie Jenner is an absolute beauty and her make-up is to die for. In these pictures above, Kylie is sporting a "natural" glam make-up look and I thought this would be quite easy to re-create. Although the lip colours are different, the over-all makeup in each appears very similar. With my help, I am going to show youse how to re-create this look for yourself, and of course, on a budget!

Steps:

1. Starting off, we first have to prepare the base. Moisturising and priming is key to help the make-up stay in place and create a nice smooth canvas. Applying the moisturiser you currently use, I would recommend waiting around 5 minutes just to let that sink into your skin. For primer I would use the Rimmel Stay Matte Primer. Like myself, Kylie always seems to have a very matte complexion, which is great if you are oily like myself and like being matte.

2. Now that we have our base ready, onto foundation! Since we have a matte foundation, I am going to recommend using a foundation that is not specifically tailored to the oiler skin types. To create the full coverage effect such as Kylie, the L'Oreal true match foundation is perfect! Using a Real Techniques beauty sponge with this foundation will give a flawless coverage. Remember when using this sponge to ensure its damp before use.

3. Onto concealer! A drugstore fave of mine is the collection lasting perfection concealer. Applying this under the eyes and onto any pimples will help ensure that full coverage. To set all this we must of course use the Ben Nye setting powder. This product is absolutely amazing, and I would 100% recommend this for all your make-up looks.

4. Made popular by her famous Kardashian sisters, contouring is key for this make-up look. I have linked a blog post all about highlighting and contouring which hopefully is useful for this part of the tutorial. The sleek palette is ideal for this as it has both the darker shade for chiselling out those cheeks and a lighter colour for making those cheek bones pop! http://beauty-and-thebudget.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/how-to-contour-and-highlight.html

5. Although Kylie's brows aren't strong, they are very perfect and filled in. To recreate this I would use your natural eye brow shape and fill in sparse areas in your eyebrows with the Rimmel eyebrow pencil. Using a pencil will help mimic the hairs in the eyebrow and create a natural look similar to Kylie's.

6. Kylie's eye look in the pictures above looks very natural, however the eyelashes are very long, wispy and doll like. Using a black liquid liner, I would draw a thin line across the top eyelash line with the Miss Sporty Liquid Liner. For lashes I would generously apply a couple of coats of the Maybelline Volume Express mascara to both top and bottom sets. To achieve Kylie's exact look, applying a pair of the Eylure lashes in 141 will really finish the eye look off. 

7. In the above photo's of Kylie two different lips can be worn with this look. The Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms, would be ideal for recreating the look on the left hand side. The two shades I would recommend would be 'fierce' and 'standout'.  On the right hand side photo, the lip colour that Kylie appears to be wearing is very similar to her natural tone, but with a pink gloss over the top. A fave of mine would be the Natural Collection lip gloss in Turkish Delight.
