Soap and Glory 2 in 1 facial mask- The Fab Pore



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.

Soap & Glory- Girl O Whirl Super Colour lip shades


After receiving this lovely Soap & glory make-up set from my mother at Christmas, I have avidly used it daily as I love adding a pop of colour to my lips and a swish of blusher to my cheeks in the morning. I always receive Soap & Glory bath products so I was expecting The Yule Monty set full of body lotions and scrubs, but to my surprise my mother took a risk on the off chance, I would prefer a make-up set rather than body lotions and she got it so right. My face lit up as soon as I uncovered the wrapping paper and saw Girl O Whirl. I have been a fan of Soap & Glory for a few years, I love the branding and the make-up .

There isn't a day where I don’t wear make-up as I like to look presentable. A swish of mascara and lipstick makes me feel confident so this was the perfect gift.

It’s a little late but 2 months on I decided to do a review focusing on the six lip shades in the set. I usually stick to red lip colours and I rarely venture in to using other colours but I thought it would be a shame to single out the other colours in my set as I love experimenting with beauty products. Finally after the Christmas period I have trialed and experimented with every colour.

Naked Beige


Guava Rama


Red my lips


Missing pink


Perfect day


Man trap 

My favourite colour from this set is surprisingly Naked Beige. It's the perfect shade for a natural day to day look which I can wear whilst going to University without it being too much. If I'm dressing up for a few drinks around town with friends then Red my Lips is my favourite to wear as its very feminine and I'm obsessed with red lip colours. Unfortunately the Girl O Whirl set is unavailable to purchase as it was a Christmas edition but I'm sure by late October new Soap & Glory gift sets will be hitting the shelves.


 I also received this voucher in the make-up set which will be going to good use in a few weeks as my brownie points eyebrow brush is running low.
