Soap & Glory Winter Wonderhand Gift Set

Coming home to surprise post is one of the most exciting things!
 I was recently totally and utterly surprised by the lovely people at Soap & Glory with a few of their Christmas sets and I couldn't wait to show you all.
Soap & Glory have got to be one of my favourite beauty brands ever. 
Since stealing my Mum's sexy mother pucker lipgloss as a teenager to using their new Sugar Crush hand gel every 5 minutes - I don't think I've bought a product yet that I don't love!
One the my most re-purchased products I've had over the years is the Hand Food hand cream. The gorgeous non-greasy hand cream which I think all of us beauty lovers have had at one point or another.

So how amazing is this .... a gift set with 3 50ml Hand Food tubes and it's called Winter Wonderhand* ... #genius - I love seeing what names S&G come up with each Christmas.
Aswell as the original scent you also get the Sugar Crush version (my favourite) and the Smoothie Star version - which I don't think you can even buy on it's own.
This is such a lovely gift idea - and for only £8 it's a bargain!

3000 Followers : Thank You & Giveaway

Wow! I cannot believe I am actually writing this post.

I've hit 3000 followers on bloglovin - three thousand. 
That is insaneeee, I literally cannot believe it! I am grinning from ear to ear and feeling a little bit proud I tell ya! 
It has been less than a year since I reached 1000 followers, so to be at 3000 already is overwhelming!
When I started this little hobby of mine up I could have never imagined how much fun it would be and how much I would learn and achieve, it's been an amazing 20 months so far! Blogging has transformed into a major passion of mine and I have loved watching this random little website grow and involve into something that people actually want to follow!

So.... I thought it was only right of me to hold a cheeky little giveaway for you lovely lot!

I am giving away a Marc Jacobs Dot 50ml Gift Set. A gorgeous perfume in a gorgeous bottle ... I kind of wish I was keeping it for myself to be totally honest!
This set includes the 50ml Eau de Parfum, a body lotion and a shower gel.
(You may remember when I hit 1000 followers last January I gave away a Marc Jacobs Honey gift set so I thought it would be fun to stick to the same theme!)
This is an amazing start to 2015 for me and I can't wait to put even more hard work and love into my blog this year!

NOTE : I really, really would love for this prize to go to one of my readers/a fellow blogger/a beauty lover - so if you have just stumbled across this site and are just going to enter for the sake of it then I please urge you not - as at the end of the day whoever wins is out of my hands and I would love to be able to give back to someone who has supported me!

Xmas Gift Guide: Joules Terrific Treats Bath Wash Trio

Christmas is coming... I cannot believe it is that time of year already! 
So as always all those fabulous gift sets and bargain offers are hitting the shelves!
 I love both giving and receiving pampering treats you always know that if you get someone a nice bath/body set they'll use it (why wouldn't they?!) so they always make fabulous xmas gifts!
The set I am reviewing today is from a brand that I haven't actually used myself previously (but have heard of, of course) and that is Joules!
This is the Sensational Skin Care Kit or the " Terrific Treats Bath Wash Trio" and it consists of 3 300ml products.
Like I said before I haven't previously tried any Joules products so when the opportunity arose I couldn't wait to try them - I love finding new brands to fall in love with!
First up I want to say how much I love the packaging! It comes a super cute floral box (which I haven't pictured very well here sorry!) which I am now using it as storage, it is fantastic to stand my products in in the bathroom and looks gorgeous!

The 3 products in this gift set are the :
Sensational Skin - Body Wash Soufflé 300ml
Superbly Smooth -Body Butter 300ml
Lovely Scrubbly - Body Scrub 300ml
They all have the same scent - a gorgeous sweet but fresh smell which isn't too over powering! It actually reminded me of something and when I asked my Mum she told me it's because she uses Joules all the time - no wonder I recognised it!
I was so excited to start trying this trio, especially as lots of my shower stuff seemed to have run out at the same time!
All 3 steps foare just £18 - that's just £6 per tub and at 300ml per tub that is a bargain, after using this stuff for a few weeks now I can tell that it is going to last ages!
First up is the body soufflé. This is the first sort of product like this that I have used. I usually use a shower gel but this stuff is totally different. 
Like a thick body butter for the shower, all you need a small scoop which feels like a moisturiser but lathers up like a gel. 
It's like a shower conditioner and I've actually found it works so well when used after the scrub (up next) - it makes my skin feel so smooth, soft and fresh! Top marks - it's like a pampering treat.. everyday!
Scrubs are something I like to use alot - especially at this time of the year with dry skin and fake tan prep! I have so many favourites which are mainly soap and glory and normally I find them hard to beat but this stuff is lovely. The grains are just like sand but it doesn't feel harsh like some other scrubs, leaving my skin perfectly exfoliated, soft and smelling yummy!
Last but not least is the body butter named Superbly Smooth! This is a fantastic finishing touch to the set, perfect for your whole body and what amazing quality!
Thick and creamy this stuff keeps my skin hydrated and smelling lovely.

All in all this is a fantastic gift set! The quality is superb (just like the name of the butter!) and I think the value for money is top notch! You get so so much of each product - they will last for months and months! 
You can get this set in Boots - along with lots of other Joules goodies, and they are all (as far as I know) in the 3 for 2 Christmas offer, barry bargain central!
So whether you're looking at treating yourelf or planning those Crimbo pressies I highly recommend this trio, high five Joules - I am impressed!

Have you tried any Joules? What are your favourite gifts to buy people?
