  • 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.

  • Getting Spring & Summer Ready. New Aldi Body Care Products!

    It’s warming up nicely in the UK this week. It’s making me think of three things. Firstly, I really need to do a massive Spring clean from top to bottom of my house. Secondly, I need a new wardrobe as I have zero clothes that will be a benefit to wear in this weather. And thirdly, I’ve just remembered I have something called feet and I NEED to give them the love and attention that my constant socks and trainers have neglected to give them. So my latest purchases from Aldi have come at the right time! My possible feet saviours come in the form of Lacura’s Exfoliating Foot Scrub and Moisturising Foot Cream.

    Why did I buy these?

    I swear I only went into the store for milk and bread! I didn’t even take in a carrier bag! But these were positioned close to the front door so my eyes fixed onto them instantly and I knew these were new products. Close inspection revealed these two products were for the feet. And my poor size 7’s need a good pampering right now. I currently have no foot products in my body care stash so these were a necessity.

    Lacura’s Exfoliating Foot Scrub

    Not only is the scrub designed to exfoliate and remove dead skin, but also to add moisture and smooth the skin on the feet thanks to ingredients such as Shea butter. You know what excites me about this? This is a whopping 300g size! When I opened this up..I gasped! It looks so incredibly rich and inviting, almost a solid balm type texture. The fragrance I think is tea tree, which should leave the feet not only smooth and soft but fragrantly fresh too.

    Lacura’s Moisturising Foot Cream

    I think this is a dupe of a brand called L’Occitane. L’Occitane are known for having hand and foot products that contain high percentages of Shea butter (which this does have at 15%). Plus the packaging of this has some similarities to L’Occitane’s hand and foot care products. A quick sniff of this indicates this has the same fragrance as the foot scrub, so definitely a marriage made in heaven. This is 125ml in size which is an amazing amount of product and should last a good number of months.

    Should these be bought ready for Spring & Summer?

    Let’s be honest. Unless you have been super diligent in your body care routine from top to toe, most of us will NEED some form of products for the feet. We want them smooth, soft, supple, moisturised and ready to slip into more open style footwear. So what do we need? Like the rest of our body, to prep it, an exfoliator and a moisturiser, and this dynamic duo are indeed those items. I haven’t tried these yet, but having a look at the textures and ingredients these could be two very good products that should be on your shopping list. And the cost? The Exfoliating Foot scrub for 300ml is £4.99 and the Moisturising Foot Cream is £2.99.

    Brilliant value for money. BUT is the quality there and how good are they? Keep your eyes open for a more in depth review on this, it’s coming!
