Soap and Glory The Scrub of Your Life Super Smoothing Body Buffer - Review

When a brand names their product the "The Scrub of Your Life", you think that either they are way too full of themselves or that they have come up with something that is akin to manna from heaven. The first time I came across this tube at Sephora, I could not make up my mind whether to believe in the name and pick it up or just take it coz it looks so pretty. At the end, I went with the looks and despite the Rs 1100 tag for 200 ml, I could not resist myself from placing this in the cart. 

So what exactly is The Scrub of Your Life? Well, its a super smoothing body buffer and has the signature Soap and Glory Pink Fragrance that is a combination of bergamot and mandarin, rose, jasmine, peach, strawberry, oakmoss, amber, woody notes and warm vanilla musk, amber, and warm vanilla notes on the bottom. In one word, this smells Divine! I've lost count of the number of times I've opened the tube to only smell this stuff.

The packaging of all Soap & Glory products are brilliant. I just love their pink and white combination and the layout that takes its inspiration from 1950's soap ads. The tube has a flip top cap and the product inside consists of a mixture of tiny pink beads and colorless white grains in a thick, colorless gel base. The difference between this scrub and the other body scrubs is that this one is quite foamy. I have not come across any scrub that foams and I like that about the S&G product. All you need to do is squeeze out a little amount of scrub and just gently scrub away. The fine beads and grains are excellent exfoliators and you will notice smooth soft skin immediately. And the best part is definitely the yummy fragrance that lingers on even after rinsing off. The product is laden with chemicals and parabens so not really for those who look for chemical free skincare but it does a great job, I must say. Because it foams, it gives super smooth and clean skin and I do not feel any dryness after washing it off. 

I specially use this on my knees and elbows and despite being a mild version of a scrub (that's why its called a body buffer), it does its job so well. My skin texture feels much better after I've used this. 

Now coming to the most important question. Is this really The Scrub Of Your Life? Well, I would say right now, to me it is and if you live in India and don't mind shelling out Rs 1100 for a tube at the Sephora store in New Delhi, I'm certain it will be yours too. This is a really good product and I would totally recommend. The price here unfortunately is a bummer and that is the only con I can think of. And maybe the fact that its full of parabens. Else, all is great!

Soap and Glory Girligo Body Moisturising Mist - Review, Pics

This is a product that I had actually bought nearly a year ago so it is by no means a new purchase. I had gone to Singapore to visit my brother, sis-in-law and niece and obviously I had to go to Sephora at Orchard Road. I haven't been to the Sephora India store yet (but I will this weekend. Yayyyy!), but the one at Singapore is huuge! They have more than one store there but Ive only been to the Orchard road one. The range of products there is mind boggling and since I was there during Christmas, the store was decorated wonderfully and there were quite a few offers going on. Along with some makeup stuff I bought this Soap & Glory Girligo Moisturising Mist. I bought it for three reasons - the super cute packaging, sweet smell and the fact that I had not tried a moisturising mist ever so it seemed a pretty unique thing to get. Unfortunately, I don't remember how much I paid for it but I can share with you my thoughts on this product if you wish to get it. 

Soap and Glory is a British bath, beauty and body care brand that not only makes some pretty amazing products but makes sure that these products look great as well. The packaging is pink, fun, quirky and reminiscent of soap ads from the 1950's. Like all their other products, Girligo looks cute as well. It's a white bottle with a spray nozzle and the shape reminds me of a Coke bottle coz its pretty similar. Narrow at the top and wider at the bottom. 

The mist contains the tempting blend of bergamot, peach, strawberry, jasmine, mandarin and musk. And according to S & G, sensible men have been driven to dizziness by this moisturising scented mist. They have also mentioned that it was safety tested on so many women in the UK that it will make your head spin! I'm not too fond of very sweet smelling fragrances but thankfully this is not sickeningly sweet. Kinda difficult to pinpoint the exact smell though but peach and strawberry are predominant. It's sweet without being overpowering and does not smell artificial at all.Love it!

The mist is pretty different from the usual perfumes and body mists. Since this is moisturising, the liquid is of a milky white color and of thin consistency, very similar to spray on sunscreens. You will need to rub the product in to the skin after applying. The good thing is that it absorbs in to the skin pretty fast, is not sticky nor does it stain. If you have dry skin and looking for a product that lightly moisturizes and gives off a nice smelling fragrance, this should be good for you, specially in summer. Don't bet on this to give you proper hydration in winter though. For oily skin, it's a good bet in winter. For summer, I wouldn't think so. You will be better off using the usual body mists. 

The fragrance is unfortunately not very long lasting but then any perfume lasts on me for only about a couple of hours. This one does the same. 

I like this product but would definitely not say that it's a must have, rather a good to have. In summers, might feel slightly heavy on the skin so would recommend you use it in winter for light moisturising and to smell yummy. Soap and Glory is now available in Sephora India's store in Delhi but have no idea about the price there. It's gonna be on the expensive side, that I'm sure of.
