Endless Glove

Endless Glove

I recently found myself running pretty low on hand cream, which like lip balm I seem to get through at a ridiculous rate. So while in Boots I picked up this little tube of Soap and Glory's Endless Glove. I had never tried this before but with the big claim of 2-in-1 moisture mask and hand cream I thought I'd give it a go! And at only £2 it wasn't going to put me much further into my student overdraft!

Despite the fact that Spring has now started (which I only know as my Instagram feed went crazy with pictures of blossom and "Hello Spring"!) it is still pretty chilly outside. And my hands, nails and cuticles are getting desperate for some vitamin D and TLC. So the idea of a "hand mask" while sounding totally impractical was also very intriguing.

It's rare for me to talk about products that I really haven't got along with, especially from Soap and Glory. I can't rave enough about their Brow Archery, which has changed my life (brows). But for me it was not endless love with Endless Glove. They say never judge a book by its cover, but sadly before I even notice if a product actually works I have judged two things; packaging and scent.

This hand cream totally passes at packaging, pink and cute, what more could you want? It's just the smell I can't get past. I'm not too sure what scent Soap and Glory were really going for here, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't citrus, old people and a hint of courgettes. Who wants their hands to smell like that?!

I'm now using this as a before bed one as it is still pretty moisturising, I am just too embarrassed to use this in public.  How can Soap and Glory get it so right with Hand Food and so wrong with this?!

Soap and Glory Brow Archery

Soap and Glory Brow Archery 

I don't even know how long I have been wanting to try this product for! There was so much hype around it and so many raving reviews but for some reason I never got around to giving it a go myself. 

However recently I found I had quite a few points on my Boots card (it really doesn't take that long!) and this is what I chose. 

The Brow Archery is designed with two different ends to fill in and shape your brows. The end that you should use first is the pen end (more like a felt pen to me) which is to fill in and shade your brows. I like to use this to fill in any gaps or sparser areas in my brows. However I have pretty dark eyebrows and even though I went for a brown shade it takes a while for this to show up. I'm a little worried that some time soon this end is going to dry out or run out.

The other end of the Brow Archery is the crayon end which is similar to lots of other brow products out right now. The shade of this is perfect for my eyebrows as it is quite cool toned. I also love the texture of this as it is slightly waxy and applies really nicely, it doesn't drag on the skin like other brow products I have tried before. This is amazing for getting that perfect brow shape really quickly. 

I have medium brown hair and slightly darker eyebrows so the shade that I went for was Brownie Points. I think this is a really great colour for me as it doesn't have any orangey undertones to make my brows look reddish. Soap and Glory also do a blonde shade that is meant to be very good and then an even darker shade. 

Since I bought this I haven't reached for anything else to do my brows with. In fact, I was so confident with it that I threw out my old brow kit which was all grubby and had started to fall apart. 

So if you haven't yet tried the Brow Archery then I would really recommend it. I don't think my brows have ever looked so good. I might even stretch as far as saying that with this and a bit of time I can get my brows "on fleek"!

Soap And Glory The Fab Pore

I love Soap and Glory body products like their shower gels and moisturisers as the packaging is cool and they smell amazing. However I can't really say I'm a true Soap and Glory fan as I have never tried one of their face products. It sounds bad but I didn't think that Soap and Glory specialised in skin products and I was worried about putting something from the brand on my face as I have pretty sensitive skin. A few of weeks ago I was shopping in Boots (as I do every weekend!) with a friend and as we were browsing she grabbed this from the shelf, shoved it in my face and told me that I needed it. I love a good face mask anyway and they are the sort of product where it is always good to have a little selection to use when your skin is doing different things - being dry, breaking out, looking irritated etc. 

Just like when bloggers recommend products you know that they've tried it and used it and are giving their honest opinion. But when a friend recommends something to you and says you NEED it, you can expect it to be good! So I put it in my basket and paid for it with my Boots points. 

The product is like an exfoliator and a mask in one. You massage it into dry skin and then leave it on your face for 5-15 minutes depending on what you feel like. Its a pale mint green colour and smells quite strongly of minty toothpaste or something along those line. Probably not everyone's favourite but I think that it smells refreshing and clean. The mask has quite fine grains in to exfoliate the skin without being irritating or too harsh. 

I am just in love with this product at the moment. I've probably used it 7 times since I bought it and it's like I just touched the surface as a little goes such a long way, so this is going to last me forever. I like to use it just after I've cleansed me face just before toner and moisturiser or any of that stuff. It really does feel like it's just cleaning out my pores and after my skin feels so clear and fresh. And I have actually noticed such an improvement to my skin in the last couple of weeks which I think has been a mix of this mask and my Body Shop Vitamin E daily moisturiser which is just as amazing. 

I've just been so impressed with Soap and Glory and am desperate to try out some more of their skincare products soon. Does anyone have any good recommendations for me? If so please let me know in the comments below. xx
