Clinique superbalm-mango tint

I finally went for it. After months of debating weather to get this so called super-product, I gave in and bought some...
Price: I got two 5ml ones for £3.70 on ebay which I think is fantastic value because from Clinique counters, it's £10 for a 10ml tube.

Packaging:The packaging is just a clear tube with a slanted applicator. I find these hygenic and compact without hacing to add a lip brush ect. into your bag. The clear tube with classic Clinique C on it looks simple and classy and also helps you see the colour from the outside. I found the tube hard to squeeze product out which I don't normally find with lipglosses.

Texture:The texture of this gloss/balm feels a lot more like a gloss than a balm when applied to your lips. It feels cushiony and soft when you rub your lips together. The lipgloss doesn't dry out fast on your lips and feels "there" and really glossy for about 2 hours. It ddoes fade after about 4 hours of wear but doesn't leave dead bits of skin on your lips, they just feel very soft.

Colour: The colour in the tube is an orange colour that you wouldn't choose normally and would be scared to put on your lips!But it just goes on looking clear/peachy and enhancing the natural colour of your lips.
I will re-purchase because it's not as sticky as Lancome JT's but has just as much staying power and feels 10x better on your lips. Overall. 10/10 (yes I know I've given everything I've reviewed high scores, I've just got lucky in choosing good makeup/haircare/bath stuff) My new Holy Grail lipgloss which is moisturizing, cheap and clossy oh and non sticky!!

Hair's a review for you!



Just a quick reveiw of Soap & Glorys "Hair supply"


Price:£6.00 for 200ml. The bottle was large so I presume if used weekly, it Will last about 3 months which is great value for money, but if used as a daily conditioner, it will last about as long as an average sized bottle of conditioner. Definitely good value for money as you don't need a lot to cover long hair.Price:8/10, a bit expensive for everyday use
Texture:It wasn't a too thick cream, just a nice gel feel to it. When on the hair, it gave off a nice cooling feeling to the head. It was nice to use because it wasn't sticky on my hands like some leave in conditioners are.Texture:10/10 No complaints here
Lives up to its claims...This claims that the "Gel formula hydrates and defrizzes but won't weigh hair down!" And yes it does live up to these claims, my hair was left very soft and shiny without any frizzies. It felt light and bouncy even after it had been left to dry naturally. I thought that my hair would be greasy after using this but it definitely isn't. It's just moisturized and soft. Now I can't stop messing with my hair.Truth:9.5/10, I can't give everything a 10 :P
Packaging:In a squeezy bottle which gives out just the right amount of product each time. But if the bottle was inadvertently stood on, you would loose all the product and the bottle would pop. It is strong plastic but not to withhold being stood on.Packaging:8/10 cute but poppable bottle
Comments:I totally love the smell of the Soap & Glory products and this smells like Clean on me shower gel. If you didn't like the smell of this, you will hate hair supply because it leaves a lovely strongish Soap & Glory smell on your hair afterwards.
Overall:9.5/10. This is another buy again product!

Scrub your nose in a quickie review!


Ah cheesy title you may say, but excusing the pun, the title is telling a whole load of the t word (truth). I have done a review on Soap and Glory's "Scrub your nose in it" face mask/scrub which is now in BOOTS stores and Harvey Nicks (also on the website) but is reluctant to show its face on the BOOTS website.


Price:£7.00 was quite pricey for 125ml of product. It is a face mask with exfoliating grains which I'm sure many other companies make and sell for less than £7.00. So I was searching desperately for all the good points in this product to balance out the price.This is how desperate I was to use this a my future facial exfoliator.Price:8/10 (could have been worse, my mum has a Clarins £22 exfoliator that does the same as this, but there are cheaper scrubs out there)
Texture:It wasn't rough, the grains were small and it wasn't too thick. When used as a scrub it was very gentle on the skin. It wasn't runny so it's was extremely easy to apply and glided smoothly over the skin. It took a bit of rubbing to actually feel the scrub scrubbing your skin so when it was a face mask, it was smooth and non-itchy/scratchy.Texture:9.5/10 (nearly perfect,just takes a lot to be perfect for me.)
So does it live up to its claims...This claims to be "an oil absorbing,brightening,pore cleaning mask". It was definitely oil absorbing. My skin felt fresh and looked healthy after using the product. Very good! No lies there then S&G.Truth telling:10/10
Packaging: This was a nice, bathroom cabinet friendly bottle. Great size for taking away too! Love the colour theme through Soap & Glory's packaging, very retro.Packaging:10/10
Comments:This wouldn't be necessary to use every day. Every other day use would result in beautiful skin. I just love this product. Will definitely be a re-purchase. I love the fact that it's not been tested on animals.
Overall:9.6/10, Great product!
