It seems like forever
since I last did a proper blogging posting but things have been hectic lately.
Having just finished my degree a few weeks ago, I have been on a mission to
secure myself a full-time job in PR. I haven’t been lucky in securing a full-time
role in PR; however I am now doing some freelance work for a marketing agency
in Leeds which means things are looking up for me.
As a treat to myself
for working so hard I purchased Soap and Glory’s, The Fab Pore purifying mask
and peel and I have been using this product on a weekly basis for a few weeks
so I can give an honest review. I always try to make time for some me time
daily, even if it’s a 10 minute face mask or a walk to park to help me relax.
To be honest lately my skin has gone into spot overdrive and no matter what I
do I just can’t get rid of them so I was hoping this mask would help my spots
clear along the way as well as brightening the appearance of my skin.
I absolutely adore
Soap and Glory products and I have been an avid user of them since I can
remember. I have used quite a few of their make-up products but I have never
tried their facial moisturisers and masks so I was itching to try this product
to see if it beat my favourite LUSH face mask.
The S&G mask is
blended with Super-fruit Yuzu & Poreshrink R complex and is a 2 in 1 facial
mask and peel. Soap and Glory say you can use the mask for 5 minutes as a quick
refresher or leave on for 15 minutes for an extreme clean. Personally I used
the mask for 15 minutes as I think my skin needed extra TLC. The smell to be
honest isn't as pleasant as I would have hoped. It kind of reminds me of how
toothpaste smells, quite minty and strong and with it being a green colour and
thick texture it even looks like toothpaste.
Apprehensively I
slapped the green looking gunk all over my face which made me feel very
attractive and I had a very relaxing 15 minutes lie down. I felt a slight
tingly sensation on my face whilst the product was working its magic. When my
time was up I washed the face mask off and instantly noticed that my skin
appeared brighter. Of course my spots didn’t disappear but they did seem less
red and smaller. Although it’s a small pot, this product really does go a long
way, and after 4 uses I still have over half a tub left.
At the moment unfortunately
I hate to say it as I really love Soap and Glory’s products but my favourite
LUSH face mask is unbeatable due to the results, the natural products and the
pricing. I payed £6.33 at Boots for this product which should have cost £10,
however if I had to pay the full price I honestly don’t think it’s worth it. Overall
I would rate this product 3/5.
Have you used Soap and
Glory’s 2 in 1 facial mask?
I've wanted to try this for ages but have always thought it's pricey compared to Lush masks - thanks for the review, I don't think I'll bother now and will stick with Lush! :)

I bought it on whim thinking it may be better than LUSH masks but yeah I was a bit disappointed with it to be honest. I shall be stocking back up on LUSH masks instead :) xo

ReplyDeleteMe too Amy! I heard good reviews of this product on the Boots website but trying it for my self proved it wasn't as good as I thought! Thanks for the comment :) xo
DeleteI do like some Soap and Glory stuff, but I much prefer everything in Lush - it all smells amazing.
ReplyDeleteI agree Dannii :) I like the ethics of the brand and I love how you can smell everything a mile off when walking round the shopping centre! Thanks for the comment xo
DeleteNice review - lately I'm becoming mask obsessed and I to am a lover of Lush products! I think I might just give this a product a whirl though!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rebecca. Every girl has got to have some LUSH products in their life. They are amazing :) xo
