Mac bronzing powder

When someone mentions 'mac', I do not lie when I say my eyes literally light up. Their products have never ever failed to let me down and this bronzer is yet another marvelous product I have added to my makeup collection. I have been wary of purchasing this product as I have already got mac 'skin Finnish' in 'global glow' which I have been using as my bronzer. But after seeing my friends bronzer looking amazing,  she recommended mac bronzing powder which I recently bought.

The packaging
Yet another packaging by mac which looks so simple, yet gorgeous. The product comes in a small black box with the famous mac logo on the front and the name of the product. The back of the packaging includes the ingredients contained  within the product. The actual bronzer is in a small circular compact which, when opened, has a mirror on the inside above the bronzer.

The product
The actual bronzer is amazing. Much better than I expected it would be. The bronzer is very smooth, and applies to the skin very easily. I can normally not apply bronzer with cheep makeup brushes as it does not get on it easily, but this bronzer sticks to any brush straight away and glides onto my face beautifully. The product did  surprisingly not make me break out with any spots or blemishes which I was extremely happy with! The bronzer stayed on my  skin all day without getting "cakey" or "muddy". The only disadvantage with this product as it does make my skin look rather dry depending on the amount I put on, that's why small, reasonable amounts have to be used at a time.

Conclusion

Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. It is suitable for every skin type and skin tone. A perfect bronzer if you want to achieve a bronzed matte look.

Soap and glory review

Hello, as you know this is my first ever blog review. Today I will be reviewing some soap and glory products, enjoy!

Soap and glory: Sugar crush body wash
The Soap and Glory sugar crush body wash has to be one of my favourite smelling scents ever, it smells good enough to eat! It has a unusual smell to it which is quite tangy and sweet which is gorgeous and leaves you smelling fresh and delicious when you come out the shower. This product is at a reasonable price of £6.50, and can be purchased in 500ml bottles. My main problem with this product is that the smell does not linger on your body for any longer than a few hours, which is rather annoying as it smells so amazing. Although, I would Definitely recommend this product to anyone!



Soap and glory: Hand food
The soap and glory hand food is a hydrating hand cream which works wonders on dry hands. You can purchase this product in 125ml tubes and travel sized 50ml tubes. Applying a small pea-sized blob of the cream is all you need to hydrate both hands. It leaves your hands soft and smooth throughout the whole day. Although, the first half an hour or so of applying the cream leaves my hands feeling quiet greasy. Another fault with this product is unlike most soap and glory products, it does not have a scent, it just smells like a bog-standard moisturiser. I would definitely find the product more appealing if it smelt better.

Soap and glory: The righteous butter
The soap and glory righteous butter is a body butter for dry skin. I can't really complain about this product apart from the fact that i would probably find it more appealing if it had a stronger scent as the smell is quite bland and doesn't smell a lot. It is also quite pricey at over £10 for a 300ml tub. Apart from this, this is an amazing product. It leaves your body feeling smooth and hydrated for AGES. Considering it is only a 300ml tub, you only need to apply a small amount to the skin which means if lasts ages. It is also available in a 50ml travel sized tub.


Soap and glory: Butter yourself
The soap and glory butter yourself product is just like the righteous butter, apart from you get more for your money and it is cheeper and smells better. It can be purchased in a 500ml tub for around £10. It works miracles with dry/rough skin on your body and keeps it hydrated for ages. It has a nice-smelling, tangy scent to it which makes you smell nice as well as hydrating your skin. The only complaint I have with this product is you have to shake the bottle well and stir the lotion with the pump tube. This is because the lotion is quite thick and hardly comes out as it is too thick to travel through the pump, this was quite annoying for me. Although, I would recommend this product as it works wonders on the skin.


So that's my first ever blog review, I really hope you enjoyed it and it was helpful, comment for more ideas on what my next blog could be about, thanks!
