    You either love body butters or hate them. People who suffer from dry skin will love the richness of this body product, but it’s not for everyone. But when your skin suffers in the cold or heat, either can leave the skin feeling tight, dry and uncomfortable. And that’s why body butters are a great everyday product or use when needed. So here are 5 budget friendly body butters currently on the high street.

  • Introducing *New* Bath & Body Products From Glow

    The purpose of body products isn’t just to help the skin on our body be in good condition, it also can help us feel good. Have you ever used a body lotion and the fragrance and feel on the skin makes you smile? That bath bomb that hissed and danced in the bath was so relaxing it made you want to sleep? When I use products on my body I want to enjoy them equally as I want them to perform a job. So when I received (gifted) a selection of the new bath and body products created from UK wax vendor Glow, I was unbelievably excited!

    *New* Body & Bath Products from Glow
    What was I given?
    • Pink Sugar Foaming Baths Salts
    • Amber & Lavender Body Butter
    • Butt Lift Body Butter
    • Lemon & Peppermint Hand & Foot Balm
    • Madame Coco Roller Ball Perfume
    Pink Sugar Foaming Bath Salts

    Glow’s Foaming Bath Salts is made up of Epsom and Himalayan Salts. Unlike traditional bath salts, these are designed to create foam on top of the benefits salts give with added fragrance too. Pink Sugar Foaming Baths Salts is pale pink in colour, and is less crystal like compared to other baths salts and more of a powdery consistency. The fragrance of this is to die for! It’s sweet (not sickly), has a berry element to it, cotton candy and vanilla.

    Amber & Lavender/ Butt Lift Body Butter

    Both of these body butters look like whipped and set desserts in their pots. They look incredibly rich in texture and inviting. Amber & Lavender is white in colour and has such a beautiful scent to it. There’s a musk in this (amber), which you would expect to find in some fine fragrances. The lavender balancing it out giving it a herbal sweetness. Butt Lift Body Butter is pale blue in colour and smells like Summer in a pot! This is another sweetly fragranced product, possibly with caramel or vanilla undertones? I swear this has a tropical element to it like coconut. Not too sure but it’s delicious!

    Lemon & Peppermint Hand and Foot Balm

    This looks like a typical balm consistency. Solid, opaque and will melt when it makes contact on the skin. The scent is a great alternative to a typical minty scent especially for products aimed at the feet. The peppermint in this, of course, gives it that fresh and cool feel you would expect. The addition of lemon gives it an added freshness and a slight zest making this smell fab!

    Madame Coco Roller Ball Fragrance

    This is fine fragrance! Traditional, timeless and classic fine designer like fragrance. There’s white floral in this because of it’s freshness plus a more deeper floral, probably rose. Scent wise, there’s a slight warming element to this so I’m heading towards amber and an uplifting and refreshing fruit in this too. It’s stunning! And going by the name of this it’s probably inspired by a famous designer fragrance which Google will help you with if you needed to figure it out.

    First Impressions

    I’m blown away! Firstly, these are the types of products I love anyway. I adore body butters, fragrances, balms and bath salts so I’m already half way there in appreciation. But these are on another level. The fragrances are intoxicating, the textures are decadent. Going off first impressions I am totally sold and ready to make an order for ALL of these bath and body goodies!

    There will be reviews/posts on each of these products going into how they perform. But if this has already wet your appetite, they are available for sale on the Glow website here.
