New Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lipsticks

New Soap And Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lipsticks Nude Pink Naked Talent Pink Up Girl Review Belle-Amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog
Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lipstick | £9.00 each | LINK

Ever since trying my first Mother Pucker lipstick from Soap & Glory a couple years ago I have been pretty much addicted to their entire lipstick line! Over the years I have bought nearly every shade that Soap & Glory have to offer. My 2 favourite shades are The Missing Pink (review) and Perfect Day (review) and I swap between these colours pretty much everyday. I just love the beautiful formula, texture and scent of these lovely lipsticks. When I heard they were bringing out 24 new shades, my heart skipped a beat and I was so excited to try them out!

On a recent shopping trip I popped into Boots and took advantage of the buy one get one half price offer and treated myself to 2 of the newest shades available. I would have bought the entire collection then and there, but I thought I would try out a couple first and then slowly pick up some more - plus I don't think my bank account would have been too happy! The 2 shades I decided to go for were Naked Talent from the nude shade line and Pink Up, Girl from the pink line. There is also a red shade range which has some gorgeous shades in that I really want to try!

The first thing that struck me about these lipsticks is the new gorgeous metallic packaging. Each shade range has its own colour too, so the nudes come in a beautiful golden tube, pinks in a light metallic pink and the reds in a lovely crimson shade. The packaging is still really sturdy too and definitely feels amazing quality for the price.

Naked Talent was a shade that really stood out to me because I don't own many nude lipsticks in my collection. As I'm fair skinned, I tend to shy away from nudes as they can easily wash me out. But because Naked Talent has a gorgeous red/ brown toned to it, I find it suits me really well as it's one of those "your lips but better" shades. It's such an easy shade to wear and is perfect to pair with a smokey eye for a night out or just to wear everyday for a natural look.

Pink Up, Girl is a classic mid-tone pink shade that I think will easily suit any skin tone. It's not too bright so can be worn sheerly for a flush of colour or you can build it up for a more intense pink look. I love a pink lipstick as much as the next beauty blogger, so this will definitely be a shade I'll be wearing all Summer long!

Both of these lipsticks have a satin finish which is personally my favourite kind of finish. They give you the perfect amount of colour pay off, feel super comfortable and smooth on your lips and just give a pretty finish to your lips. There is also a choice of matte and shine finishes which I'm excited to try out!

I think my absolute favourite thing about these lipsticks is the gorgeous scent and I think that the scent in these new lipsticks is much stronger that the older ones - amazing! Each lipstick smells like chocolate and vanilla which makes them really luxurious and a real treat for your lips. I'm literally sitting here smelling the swatches on my hand like a weirdo because it's just so good!

I find that these lipsticks wear really well on the lips. As they are satin finishes, the staying power isn't overly strong but will definitely get you 2-3 hours of wear before you need to reapply. I reapply my lipstick all the time and because these are really moisturising like a lip balm, it's not something that bothers me. I can imagine the matte versions of these lipsticks will have a much better staying power, so if you're after something that will stay put longer then maybe give those a try!

I hope you have enjoyed today's post! I'm so over the moon with these new lipsticks and I can't wait to try out some more shades. If you've tried any of the new Mother Pucker lipsticks then let me know what shades you've been loving and I'll be sure to try them out!

Soap & Glory Lid Stuff in What's Nude

Soap And Glory Lide Stuff Eye Shadow Palette Quad In Whats Nude Review Belle Amie Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog
Soap & Glory Lid Stuff in What's Nude | £10.00 | LINK

Nude eye shadow palettes are one of my biggest makeup weaknesses. Despite owning a bunch of different ones that all contain very similar shades and colours, I can't restrain myself from buying more! There's something so simple and classic about a neutral eye palette that makes it very easy to justify buying them. As I'm not a big lover of bold colours on my eyes, I just love to have a range of neutral shades to work from.

Today I thought I would share my thoughts on a great little eye shadow quad from Soap & Glory - possibly my favourite makeup/ beauty brand on the high street! This is the Lid Stuff eye shadow quad in What's Nude which contains 4 lovely neutral eye shadow shades.

Soap And Glory Lide Stuff Eye Shadow Palette Quad In Whats Nude Vanilla Pink T Mudhoney Aubersheen Packaging Review Belle Amie Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog

The Soap & Glory Lid Stuff eye shadow quads come in a small square shaped plastic palette which is sturdy and great for travelling. This little palette doesn't come with a brush or a mirror, however these would have only made it more bulky and expensive so it doesn't bother me that much - plus I like to use my own brushes anyway! You get 4 great sized eye shadows and in the What's Nude palette they are all very pretty nude/ neutral shades with 3 being matte and the other a more satin like finish.

The 4 shades in this palette are: Vanilla which is a matte light off white shade which is great for subtle highlighting, Pink T which is a matte nude colour which is perfect for creating a flawless looking base, Mudhoney which is a matte medium brown shade and finally Aubersheen which is a satin finish brown.

All of these shades work really well together (especially all of the matte shades) to create a lovely everyday brown smoky eye. As Aubersheen is the only satin finish in the palette, this is also nice to pop into the crease of your eye look to add a different finish and to deepen the look up to make it more of an evening smoky eye. With this being said, this is a great day to night palette as the matte shades can be used for your day time look and then Aubersheen can be added for when you want to make your makeup extra smoky and glam!

I'm honestly so impressed with the quality of this palette. With most high street matte eye shadows I always find the pigmentation is quite poor and the staying power very lacking. But, as you can see from the swatches, these Soap & Glory shadows are super pigmented and last amazingly well on the eyes. They also apply and blend out really smoothly plus they don't look heavy and chalky despite being a matte finish. As Aubersheen has that satin finish it is also very pigmented and looks amazing in the crease.

I think this palette is amazing value for money as each eye shadow only works out at £2.50 each and you can get so much wear out of all of the shades. This is one of those palettes you can just pop in your makeup bag for a weekend away and know you're sorted for your eye makeup - you could even use Mudhoney as a shadow eye liner or as brow shade too if you have darker hair!

If you want something a bit different from nude shades this palette also comes in a smoky eye set called Smokey Dokey and a brighter set called Off The Wallflowers, both very pretty but unfortunately not colours that I wear very often! However I would highly recommend you trying out this amazing little eye shadow palette next time you're in Boots. This is definitely a staple product for anyone's makeup collection!

Bold Spring Lips | Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquers

Soap And Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquers What Cha Ma Coral Charm Offensive Bold Spring Lips Review Belle Amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog
Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquers | £7.00 each | LINK

Now that we're coming up to Spring, it's finally time to swap up my makeup and bring back some brighter lip colours into my makeup routine. After falling in love with the Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquer in Riot (a gorgeous bright red - see my review here) I decided to pick up some more shades that would be perfect for the Spring and Summer months. Lip lacquers are the perfect in between of a lipstick and gloss, so they're great to create an effortless bold lip.

Soap And Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquers What Cha Ma Coral Charm Offensive Bold Spring Lips Review Belle Amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog

Soap & Glory only have a small selection of lip lacquers, yet all of which I would buy in a heart beat as they offer some beautiful shades. The main shade at the top of my "to buy" list was Whatchama-Coral  which is a beautiful bright coral shade that's going to be perfect for going into the Spring and Summer. Knowing me, I love a good coral lip colour so this was a must have to get for my makeup collection. The other shade I have that's great for this time of year is Charm Offensive which is a pink toned nude that's really wearable and makes a lovely everyday lip colour.

What I love about these lip lacquers is that they offer a rich pigmentation of colour and a glossy finish but don't make your lips feel sticky or uncomfortable! Some lip lacquers I've tried in the past I literally have to take off minutes later because they feel horrible on the lips! The Sexy Mother Puckers are the complete opposite and actually give your lips a nourishing feel as well as offering the opaque lip colour. I can find that when you pull the wand out of the tube it may come across as "gloopy", but once applied this disappears and they glide on beautifully. If you wanted more of a matte finish (or just to tone down the colour) you can just pat on a small amount of the product with your finger and it leaves a matte stain effect that's also really pretty.

With the easy to use wand, these lip lacquers are quick and simple to apply and I find the applicator is the perfect size to fit into the corners of your lips. The wand also applies the product evenly and I've never had an issue with these lacquers applying in patches - I'm always able to achieve an opaque finish in seconds!

Soap And Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquers What Cha Ma Coral Charm Offensive Bold Spring Lips Swatch Review Belle Amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog

As you can see from the swatches, these lip lacquers really are pigmented and give you loads of colour to create that perfect bold Spring lip! I find the wear time of these lacquers is amazing, even after eating or drinking I can still see a strong hint of colour coming through which will easily last me 4 to 6 hours. Even if the main bulk of product has come off your lips after a few hours, the stain of the lacquer will still last so your lips will have a tint of colour all day long.

One last thing I love about the Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquers is the smell! I love how Soap & Glory scent their lip products with a lovely vanilla fragrance which is subtle yet delicious at the same time! This vanilla scent always makes me think of MAC lipsticks and instantly makes me feel that the Soap & Glory lip product I'm wearing is much more expensive than it was! 

So these will definitely be some of the lip lacquers that I will be reaching for over the Spring time to create an effortless bold lip. I highly recommend these lip products as I find these work really well and that Soap & Glory offer some lovely shades that are perfect for every season. 

What is your go to lip product for Spring?

Everyday Red Lip | Perfect Day

Soap & Glory Super-Colour Fabu Lipstick in "Perfect Day" | £9.00 | LINK

 My lipstick is probably the makeup item I change up the most. I enjoy playing around with bright shades during the summer and vampy dark colours during the winter months. As well as these intense shades, I love finding simple and classic lipsticks that I can wear on an everyday basis. Due to my skin being fairly pale, I find that standard nude lipsticks don't suit me very well, so I do have to sway towards ones that have a bit more colour to them.

After falling in love with my Soap & Glory Super-Colour Fabu Lipstick in the shade "The Missing Pink" which is a gorgeous everyday pink shade (read my review here), I decided I needed to try more of their range. There isn't a huge shade selection in their lipstick range, but I decided to pick up the shade "Perfect Day" in a haul (which you can read here) and have been using it every day since!

Every-Day-Red-Lip-Soap-And-Glory-Super-Colour-Fabu-Lipstick-Perfect-Day-Review-Box-Packaging-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog
Every-Day-Red-Lip-Soap-And-Glory-Super-Colour-Fabu-Lipstick-Perfect-Day-Review-In-The-Tube-Packaging-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

"Perfect Day" is a beautiful light red lipstick with a slight pink tone to it. It's definitely one of those shades that I think will suit any skin tone because it's really natural looking on the lip, yet it can be built up to be a much richer red colour. With the satin finish and hydrating formula that contains shea butter and vitamin E, it offers a slight shine to the lips that's very flattering. I find that the satin finishes of these lipsticks never dry out my lips because of their gorgeous formula and they can be applied without using a lip balm first. One of the main things I love about these lipsticks is the gorgeous vanilla scent which really does linger on the lips for a long time. I hate lipsticks that smell fake and artificial, so it's great when you find a good quality lipstick with an amazing scent.

The packaging of the Super-Colour Fabu Lipsticks is one of the nicest on the high street considering it retails at just £9. I love how each lipstick comes in their own little box and the tube itself is a glossy black, gold and pink combination which looks much more expensive than it is! What I also like about the packaging is that the lipstick tube and lid are very sturdy and it feels very luxurious when you turn up the lipstick.

Every-Day-Red-Lip-Soap-And-Glory-Super-Colour-Fabu-Lipstick-Perfect-Day-Review-Swatch-On-Lips-Makeup-Of-The-Day-Look-Belle-Amie-UK-Beauty-Fashion-Lifestyle-Blog

I've found that these lipsticks last a good amount of time on the lips. When I've been wearing it to work, I find "Perfect Day" lasts around 3 hours but it does fade after I've eaten. I do think this is because it has a satin finish and doesn't stain the lips as much as a matte lipstick would. I don't mind reapplying this lipstick every few hours as I feel like I would need to to keep up the nourishing feel that it gives my lips when it's applied. This lipstick is really lovely to apply as the hydrating formula allows it to apply really smoothly and gives a lot of colour in just one swipe!

Overall I've really been loving this lipstick and I feel like I need to buy the rest of the range! Hopefully Soap & Glory will add more shades to their range as I do feel that it is quite limited to standard pink/ red tones. I would love to see some more vampy colours for the winter time and maybe some bright pinks and corals for the summer!

Soap & Glory Beauty Haul

Soap And Glory Beauty Haul Winter 2015 Belle-Amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog

Hello everyone! I hope you're all well and looking forward to your weekend ahead. In my last post I completely forgot to mention that last weekend I actually took the plunge and invested myself into a brand new Canon camera - the Canon EOS 1200D to be exact! I did use the camera for my last post, but at the time I still had absolutely no idea what I was doing with it so the pictures aren't the best quality in the world. Over the past week I've been playing around with settings and watching lots of YouTube videos on how to use DSLRs properly, so hopefully my photos will gradually start to become better quality!

I am so excited to take lots of pictures with my camera and just so you know, I didn't buy it purely for my blog (as I completely believe normal digital cameras work really well) but also because I have an interest in photography and have always wanted to own a good quality camera! Do let me know if you notice any difference in my picture quality or if you have any tips and tricks on using a Canon camera in the comments below!

Over the past couple years Soap & Glory has become one of my favourite brands to use. Their extensive makeup, skin care and body care range offer some amazing products and I have started to notice that I own far too many of them! The other day I decided to take advantage of Boot's latest deals on the Soap & glory products and pick up some new products as well as some of my essential products from the brand. The makeup is currently buy one get one half price and their skin care has up to half price off, which is definitely a deal not to be missed!

After trying their lip lacquer in Riot last year (read the post here) I told myself that I needed to try out some more shades from the line. As someone who enjoys a good coral lip, picking up Whatchama-Coral was a no brainer for me and was the first product to find its way into my basket. Whatchama-Coral is a beautifully intense coral shade with a hint of shimmer to it. As there has been lots of hype about a brown nude lip recently, I also picked up Charm Offensive to use as an everyday shade and again, it has an amazingly opaque finish with a slight shimmer. What I love about these lacquers is that they don't feel heavy or sticky on your lips yet still offer lots of colour. I also love that they feel smooth on your lips and apply really easily. I will be reviewing these 2 shades very soon, so keep an eye out for swatches!

The next lip product I picked up was another lipstick from the Super-Colour Fabulipstick line. I absolutely adore my lipstick in The Missing Pink (read the post here) and thought I should try out another shade that I could use everyday. As The Missing Pink is a pink shade, I thought picking up a more red toned lipstick would be nice to add to my collection. I decided to go for Perfect Day which is a natural red shade with a satin finish. These lipsticks feel so nourishing on the lips and I would recommend them to anyone! Again, I will be reviewing this lipstick soon where I will include lots of swatches.

Peaches & Clean Cleanser | £8.00 | LINK
Moving on to, what I'd like to call, my "staple Soap & Glory" products. Firstly I picked up one of the Peaches & Clean cleansers which is what I use to cleanse and clean my face everyday. I think this cleanser has some stick for being quite harsh and causing people to have allergic reactions, but I've never once has this issue - despite having very sensitive and dry skin! This cleanser removes all of my makeup and has really helped clear up my skin from blemishes. This is definitely a product I will keep repurchasing in the future!

Thick & Fast Mascara in Super Jet Black | £10.00 | Review | LINK
I have been an avid fan of this mascara for years! The Thick & Fast mascara offers length, volume and definition to the eye lashes all in one nifty little tube. This is just an all round brilliant mascara and is always one that I come back to using. These mascaras also last a really long time without drying up but I always like to make sure I have a back up in my drawer at all times!

Archery Brow Tint & Pencil in Brownie Points | £10.00 | LINK
Finally I picked up one of my favourite makeup products I own, the Archery Brow Tint and Pencil. To me, eye brows are an important feature as they helped to frame your face - so it's essential to keep them looking their best! I find the tint side offers a really natural finish to your brows whilst at the same time making them look fuller and more defined. I really love that you get 2 products in one as well as I do like to use the pencil side if I'm going for a more natural look.

So these are some of the products that I have picked up from the Soap & Glory brand recently! I will definitely be reviewing the lip products, but if you would like to see a post on how I fill in my brows using Archery then do let me know.
Thank you for reading today's post!

New Everyday Lipstick | Soap & Glory Fabu Lipstick

Soap And Glory Super Colour Fabu Lipstick In The Missing Pink Satin Finish Review Belle Amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog
Soap & Glory Super Colour Fabu Lipstick in "The Missing Pink" | £9.00 | LINK

Despite owning numerous lipsticks in a variety of shades, I was never able to find "the one" that I could stick to and officially call my everyday lipstick. I used to easily get bored of nude lipsticks and after a while I just wanted to go back to wearing brighter and more fun colours. After a recent trip to Boots and being sucked into the 3 for 2 offer on Soap & Glory makeup, I decided to try out one of their Super Colour Fabu Lipsticks in the shade "The Missing Pink" and now I can finally say I've found my perfect everyday lipstick! I've only tried one of the matte versions of these lipsticks before, but as it's summer I much prefer a glossier looking lip so I decided to give this beautiful shade a try.

The Super colour Fabu Lipsticks come in their own individual box which I personally think makes a lipstick seem a lot more expensive - not just the £9.00 I actually paid. As this lipstick is from the satin finish line, the outer packaging of the lipstick itself is a glossy black tube with the signature pink Soap & Glory writing on the front. As much as I adore Soap & Glory's packaging, the fact that everything is black and pink makes distinguishing my liquid liner from my brow pen from the bottom of my makeup bag quite a tricky job. However I still love it and think it's very pretty to look at!

"The Missing Pink" is a gorgeous pink/ nude with a satin finish and has a small amount of very fine shimmer in it. I really love the finish of this lipstick as it leaves a good amount of sheen on the lips but at the same time isn't overly shiny and glossy. This means those who prefer a matte lip might still be able to get away with this shade yet at the same time those who are a lover of the glossy lip can apply a pink or nude lip gloss over the top to make more of an impact! For me I think it's a perfect in between and I love just wearing it on its own.

After applying "The Missing Pink" for the first time I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful the formula was! This satin finish lipstick contains shea butter, monoi butter and vitamin E which together makes it super creamy, soft and a complete dream to apply. Usually some nude lipsticks can cling to drier patches of skin on the lips as their formulas aren't very nourishing, but for "The Missing Pink" I can actually feel my lips being hydrated as I wear it! Even though "The Missing Pink" is such a creamy lipstick, I find it has a really good wear time of about 3 to 4 hours which is usually how often I reapply my lipstick anyway. I also find it wears off pretty evenly too so you're never left with that awkward lipstick line around your lips!

Another thing that I love about this lipstick (which you can actually find in most Soap & Glory lip products) is the scent of the product. If you like sweet, pleasant vanilla scents then this lipstick is definitely one for you! It tastes amazing on the lips (even thought you shouldn't be tasting them haha!) and I think this makes the lipstick feel even more luxurious and high end.

Overall I'm seriously impressed with how well this lipstick works! I love that it's such a wearable nude shade that works with every makeup look and occasion. I also think this lipstick would work for a huge array of skin tones, especially the fairer skins as it's such a beautiful and natural shade. I'm really tempted to pick up some more of these lipsticks so if you've tried them before please let me know what shades you've tried!

Review | Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquer

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Shine Lacquer In Riot Review Belle-amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog
Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Shine Lacquer In Riot Review Belle-amie UK Beauty Fashion Lifestyle Blog

Hello everyone, I hope you're all having a lovely start to your week! I would first like to apologise for being so inconsistent with my blogging recently. As I near the end of college, I've been really busy and slightly stressed with the amount of work I need to get through! This has meant that on my days off I'd much rather relax and have some "me time" so blogging has taken a back seat for a while. As a firm believer of "quality over quantity", I would much rather publish one post every few weeks that I'm happy with rather than lots of lower quality posts just for the sake of it! I'm sure than once I've finished my college course I will be able to create lots more of these higher quality blog posts and in no time I'll be back into the swing of things again - watch this space!

For today's post I really wanted to share this gorgeous new lip product that has been recently added to my collection. As a huge lover of Soap & Glory's makeup products, I was super excited to try out their Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquer in Riot, a beautiful pillar box red. I don't own very many lip lacquers (I tend to sway towards the good old lipstick) so I was very keen to see how this product worked for me.

As I said, the shade I received from the lovely girls at Soap & Glory was Riot which is a true rich glossy red. I absolutely love red shades as I find they compliment my fair skin and dark hair very well. These lip lacquers come in a simple lip gloss like tube which makes them very small and compact to pop into your makeup bag. What's special about these lip lacquers is the application wand that has a wide sponge tip which allows for you to apply lots of product in one go. As the applicator is also quite thin and flexible, it allows you to get into the corners of your lips very easily which makes the whole application process super quick and simple!

The formula of the Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquers is definitely very different to your everyday lip gloss. It's much thicker and packs on a tonne of colour in one sweep! At first I found that the Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquer was quite stringy when you pulled the applicator out of the tube and this worried me that it would be far too thick to sit comfortably on my lips. However, as you only need a tiny amount of this product to create a fully opaque lip (you literally need to wipe all of the excess product off the applicator), the stringy-ness disappeared and I was left with a smooth product to apply to my lips. Once on, this lip lacquer didn't dry out my lips at all and this is probably due to its ultra-moisturising properties!

As you can see from the swatches, the Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquers offer a super glossy opaque finish, almost as if you were wearing a lipstick and gloss combo! This lip lacquer feels really comfortable on my lips and keeps them feeling hydrated the whole time that it on them. I find that Riot will last on my lips for around 4 to 6 hours before it starts to fade, so the wear time is really good! Also, I find that these lip lacquers have a very subtle yet pleasant smell which is completely unnoticeable once on the lips. I love how this shade looks on me and I think it's the perfect colour to wear on a glamorous night out with the girls! I would definitely try and pick up a more nude shade so that I can start to wear these lacquers on a more day-to-day basis.

Overall I think the Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Shine Lacquers are a great makeup item to have in your collection. I haven't tried many lip lacquers but I'm seriously impressed with the quality of these ones! I will definitely be picking up some more shades to add to my collection, Watchamacoral sounds like a colour that would be perfect for the summer time!

I've never been someone who applies facial sun lotion everyday. Despite knowing it's a great way to stop premature ageing and sun damage, I've always hated how sun screen felt on my face and under my makeup! As my skin is fair and quite sensitive, I do find I can burn very easily so it is quite silly that I've never researched into a product that I could use instead of a heavy sun lotion. A few weeks ago I was sent the Soap & Glory Feel Good Factor translucent BB cream and it seemed to be the perfect product to finally start helping protect my face from the sun's UV rays.

Feel Good Factor is a light weight lotion that you can use on your face and even your hands as a means to help prevent UV damage to your skin. It contains SPF 25 and also helps block out UVA and UVB rays. It has a form of "Suntrigger" technology which means little sun activated spheres help deliver extra protection to your skin when it needs it most as well as releasing vitamins C and E to protect the skin even further. After reading the box that the white tube of product comes in, I found that this really is a brilliant all-in-one type of lotion that helps combat a range of problems - not just sun damage! As well as being a sun protectant, it is also a form of serum and moisturiser and helps restore moisture back into the skin and leaves it feeling super soft and smooth. It's also a skin tone evener and a primer, so it helps your base makeup to apply evenly and look flawless!

Like I said before, I usually hate the way sun screen products feel on my skin. They're too heavy and always seem to leave this greasy/ oily layer to my skin which never lets my makeup stay in place. With the Feel Good Factor you don't have this problem at all! It feels like a light weight moisturiser on your skin and sinks in very quickly leaving it feeling soft and supple. I love applying Feel Good Factor after my moisturiser as a form of primer as I find it prepares and evens out the skin for makeup really well. It does leave a slight dewy finish to the skin, but this is easily covered up with makeup so shouldn't be a problem for people with oilier skins! Feel Good Factor is one of the nicest primers I've used, yes it contains a range of amazing ingredients that helps protect and nourish the skin, but it also helps my makeup stay put all day long - a perfect all in one product!

I think the only issue some people may have with this product is the perfumed scent. I personally think it has a lovely scent and is very fitting to Soap & Glory's trademark feel. However I know some people may not like having fragranced products on their face so this is definitely something to consider if you want to try it for yourself. Despite having sensitive skin, the scent has never been an issue for me and I find the smell disappears after a few minutes, especially once you've applied your makeup!

Overall I think that Soap & Glory's Feel Good Factor is an amazing multi-purpose product to keep in your makeup bag. As it has the sun protectant properties as well as being an amazing primer, it's going to be a product I'll be using all year round, especially in the Summer time! If you're looking for a great base product that offers SPF, then definitely give Feel Good Factor a whirl!
