Soap and Glory 'The Yule Monty' is a comin!

Yep! You know? The biggie, the one we expect to see (or not depending on how quick the ladies in your town are!) adorning the 'star gift' shelves of Boots every Christmas time, Soap and glory's bumper box of treats this year is in true S&G fashion cheekily named 'The Yule monty' and as usual it is on offer for less than half the £60 RRP for just £27 from this Friday 13th December while stocks last. 

Sooo what's in the box??

Sugar crush body wash

The Righteous butter body cream

Heel genius foot mask

Hand food hand cream

Peaches and clean face cleanser

Thick and fast super volume mascara

The scrub of your life body buffer

Butter yourself body lotion

Sexy mother pucker lip plumping gloss

All packaged up in a limited edition Jonathon Saunders print bag (not gonna lie I do not have a clue who he is...oops!) 

It's worth pointing out also that all of the products are full sized, so you wont be disappointed to find any sneaky mini's thrown in there!

I've had the different variations of this gift set for at least the last three years and I have always been really happy to receive it as I love, love, loveee Soap and Glory! I'd definitely recommend this as a gift option, it would also be an idea to split it up and make up a few different mini gift sets to really get a bang for your buck!

Will you be picking this up?

Bourjois "Iconic Glam" kit...

...Free when you spend £15 or more on Bourjois cosmetics at Boots.
4 full sized products worth £29
-Volume glamour max holidays mascara
-So laque ultra shine nail polish in 'Rouge escarpin'
-Effet 3D lip gloss in'Rouge democratic'
-Smoky eyes eye shadow trio in 01 'Gris dandy'

 So Boots happened to get in my way on what should have been a quick dash for milk this morning, as usual I didn't really need anything, I was only 'having a nosey' but the free gift with purchase offers are rife at the moment and this one from Bourjois was way too good a deal to miss out on! It's such a fitting box of treats for the festive season with everything you would need to create a Christmas party Make-up look, and the products are full sized! I picked up a new bottle of healthy mix foundation, a cream blush in 'sweet cherry' and then quickly swiped the last of these off the shelf before somebody else beat me to it. 

I thought I would get this post up pretty quickly to give you a heads up, so I haven't had a proper chance to test out the products yet, apart from the effet 3D lip gloss (in a different colour) I haven't tried any of these products from Bourjois before so I am looking forward to giving them a whirl! I will keep you posted!

Seventeen Stay pout lipstick

Saintly

Its complicated

Top- Its complicated
Bottom- Saintly

Stay pout is a new addition to Boots' Seventeen range, I went out and unintentionally stumbled upon them a couple of weeks ago then bought the two because I already had one thing in my basket and it was 3 for 2 across all make-up (still is!) you know the drill... 

Stupidly of me and not something I would recommend to anyone (I don't for one minute think that you would) I bought both of these without swatching them. Why?? Well um there were no testers out on the stand I liked the stickers underneath and had way too much faith...yes I should know better.

Cut to a very disappointed me sat in the car with two very frosty (least favourite lipstick finish ever)

pinks instead of the beautiful nude and raspberry shades I had hoped for.

So I sound like I'm having a right bitch about these, I'm not I just think it's funny to share what a dumb ass I was in my shade selecting process. So for the purpose of giving you a bit of a review I have been trying them out.

Firstly the pigmentation is great, so it's a good start! They are a long wearing formula so I was expecting them to be more on the matte side and possibly quite drying, not the case here, they apply really smoothly and feel so moisturising, the Shea butter in them lends a hand to this which is great at this time of year when dry lips are rife! As I mentioned before going off on a standard tangent, the formula is long wearing Seventeen don't claim  X number of hours but I've found they last a good 7 hours, wearing off evenly into a subtle stain which I like.

Altogether a really good lipstick for the price (£4.59) I'm definitely going to check out the other shades, there's 15 in total so the chances are if there are some testers out that I'll find some I like ;)
