As per my post regarding my Boots haul last week, its now time for me to give my reviews on the Soap & Glory products i purchased, starting with 'Flake away'.
Firstly, the smell - OH MY GOD THE SMELL.... It makes me want to eat it, it just smells so sweet and cupcakey!! It really leaves a lasting scent on your skin too - I used it on Saturday morning and still got a wiff of it on Saturday evening!!
The consistency is unlike any scrub ive used before. It is of course very very gritty, but at the same time is fairly soft and greasy. I applied it as i would with any scrub (my favourite being St Ives) working it into the tops of my arms as i get quite bad dry skin on them and i then washed it off. I must mention though that it does take quite a lot of washing off as the grains seem to really cling to the skin.
Once i washed it all off, my skin did actually feel like silk (im really not exaggerating!!) Its true to its word as it does actually feel like it polished my skin and almost left a silky sheen on it.
The packaging, as with all Soap & Glory products is cute 1920's style beauty pictures in black and white. I also like the fact that Flake away is in a tub rather than being in a squeezy tube - As the tubes tend to get left over residue stuck on the side which dries and hardens - yakk!!
It is a very harsh scrub so i wouldn't recommend using it more than once a week.
Pros - Fantastic smell, reasonable price, moisturising, leaves skin silky smooth
Cons - Fairly harsh scrub, not good if your looking for something to use more regularly than once a week.
