Soap & Glory

I recently got into Soap & Glory products, which I’ve been wanting to try for a while now. The first one I tried from them is the Hand Food hand lotion. I was on the lookout for a new hand cream because my hands are just terrible during the winter, they get extremely dry and cracked, and just annoying because I get cuts from it. Anyway..

I have here my winter buddies!So here are the Righteous Butter cream and the Flake Away scrub, I’ve seen good reviews about both of these products and I do approve. 👍🏼

I absolutely love the Righteous Butter cream, I actually prefer this over the Hand Food which I first thought would be the other way around. It feels really nice when you’re applying it and it doesn’t take long for it to sink in your skin which I love, because nobody wants that greasy feeling to stay on for ages. I use this as an all over body moisturizer, but like I mentioned, I especially love this for my hands.

Then I have the Flake Away body scrub. This works well with getting rid of the dead skin cells, leaving your skin smooth. It’s abrasive enough to get the job done without leaving a stinging feeling.

I love how they both work together. They have a lovely floral scent which isn’t overpowering so that’s always a plus. I’m telling you, when you try the Righteous Butter, you won’t be able to stop applying it. 😁👍

#MacMagicOfTheNight

Dying. Dying. Dead. 😲  They’re finally here! Mac’s most recent collection, Magic of the Night. This collection has some lip liners, eye liners, eye shadows, highlighters, and lipsticks of course.

Can I just say that getting these beauties was such a pain! So I basically got up early on the 18th. I was refreshing their page from 7am till 5pm. I’m not kidding and I’m not exaggerating. They really need to be consistent or at least have an official announcement as to what time their collections are going live. Anyway, so when they finally went live at around 5pm, I lost my sh*t and scrambled to get these in my cart and check out. So luckily, I was able to snag the one I really really really wanted to get which was the Oh Darling highlighter.

How gorgeous is that?! It is stunning, and I have no more words for it. In my opinion, this is an absolute must have. Especially if you love highlighting, and highlighters are my second favourite when it comes to make up. It’s so beautiful and looks great once applied. I am so glad that I was able to get two of these. Yes, two. Believe me, I was about to get a third one but it was already sold out. Buying them online was my only option because I can’t easily go to an actual Mac store and purchase them. Also, I have a feeling that I have to battle my way in there, I’d be lucky to get out in one piece. 😁

The other one I picked up is a lipstick. This is a permanent shade but I don’t own this one so I might as well, and also because it was the only colour that I found myself interested in. Honestly though, if I wasn’t collecting limited edition Mac lipsticks, I probably wouldn’t have picked this one up, just saying. So the shade I got is called Dark Side. It’s one of those dark plumy brown shades that are perfect to wear around the fall time.

 Overall, I think Mac is definitely stepping up with these holiday collections. I have to say though, I’m not a big fan of the packaging of this bit. I wish they could have done something more to it than just a plain bold colour. Oh well, I guess it’s the product that counts. Unless you’re like me where packaging is also a big deal. But this collection isn’t bad at all, especially with that highlighter. I do wish with all my heart that they make that a permanent one, because I’m in love! 😍
