Guest Blog - Soap & Glory The Breakfast Scrub

Afternoon lovelies, hope your enjoying your week, can't believe its already half way through half term and I have so much to do still! February is all about not spending money for me which is really hard at the moment! So I reached out to a few bloggers about their favourite low cost items, and its Kelsey's turn today!


Hey everyone,

My name is Kelsey; I have a blog called Penelope’s beauty obsessions that is all about beauty and hair products, with reviews, hauls, swatches and more. You can also find me on twitter under @MissPenelope90

Today I’m going to review a soap and glory product for the lovely Sarah for her Frugal February posts.
So here goes:

 The Breakfast Scrub.

Exfoliator with organic cupuacu bio scrubs, bananas, almond and honey extracts. Features a great new maple fragrance.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Scoop out a handful and rub it between your palms, then scrub in circles onto damp skin until you feel smoother.
(From their website)
I brought it for £9.45.



This product smell delicious, it’s got oats, bananas, honey, and maple syrup in here so it smells good enough to eat, and it’s just as good on your skin, leaves your skin so soft and silky, and it’s got big bits of sugar and oats in it so you can differently feel that it is working.









I use it every time I go for a shower and just before I put on fake tan because it gets rid of all the dead skin and softens rough areas like knees and elbows. I’ve read a couple of reviews that say they put it on their face as a Exfoliator but I haven’t tried this yet. It is a huge tub and you don’t need to use a lot, I’ve used this 4 times and barely touched the surface.
I love this; it’s my go to product when I’m in the shower.



Have you tried this product before? Let me know in the comments below
See you soon

Thank you Kelsey for a great post about a great product, definitely low cost but worth it! Pop over to her blog here and share her some love! 


If you want to guest post then please let me know! 


Thanks for reading xx

The No Name Book Club

Evening lovelies, a second post from me tonight, that's because I want to start a book club!!

Last night got talking to a few people on twitter about starting one as we enjoy reading or want to read a bit more for fun.

So to keep it easy, we will pick a book, read it and then discuss on a post, whether that be me writing a post or someone else writing the post and posting it as guest post then its all cool.

This weeks I've picked two books which I will get read this week are:


 




Me Before you by Jojo Moyes and War Horse by Michael Morpurgo.


I've picked these books as they contrast with each other, but both are written by exceptional authors and so should be interesting reads.


If people want to change the book choice then please let me know, or if you want to put a book forward then please please comment and let me know! 


If you fancy joining us then let me know in the comments below, so far the book club with No Name consists of:


@KnickersanNails (me!)
@Miss_Jenx
@robynwinrow
@pretastyleblog 
@sarahseesall


let me know if your joining in by commenting below, and if you can come up with a name for the group then woohoo!!!

Shopping my Stash #3

Afternoon lovelies, hope your well. This is my third week of shopping my stash and I'm really starting to enjoy it although I really need to dig into my other box and pick out a few different bits.


This weeks products are part of my lazy week as its half term so wont be wearing much as I prefer to let my skin breath when I'm not in work.


So here it is:

Face:

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation - I will review this soon, I'm having a sort of love/hate with it!
Benefit Erase Paste - Love this!
Benefit Coralista Blush - gives a gorgeous flush as though I've been outside for a walk in the cold.


Eyes:

Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes - This is my ultimate lazy go to product, use it on my eyes as well as for filling my eyebrows.
Maybelline Colossal Cat Eyes Mascara - Its quick and easy to use for creating full eyelashes.


So there we have it, my products for this week! 

Do you use any of these?

Thanks for reading xx
