Frank Body Scrub | Review

I've been seeing this everywhere, and all I've heard are rave reviews, so I thought it was about time that I bought one for myself and see what all the fuss is about. There are 3 options to pick from, I just went for the Original one though. Although after using it - I really think I'll be going back to try the other ones. 

Inside this simple, but insanely cute and quirky packet is 200g of all natural, vegan, animal friendly coffee scrub. Its packed with loads of beneficial oils and minerals to help with the apperance of stretch marks, scars and cellulite. 
This scrub was £11.95 and was the cheapest of the three, but the most expensive was only £13.95. I hate coffee, the only time I ever drink anything with caffine in it, is during the winter months when I get cosy with a Salted Caramel Mocha. I was a little worried that I wouldn't like the scent of this, but I actually really really like it. A little goes a long way with this, and two small handfuls is perfect for your whole body. 
I was a little sceptical at first as to how this would be a great exfoliator but boy was I amazed with the results. Once you rub it in, you leave it to dry for about 10 minutes before rinsing it off. When you do rinse it away, your skin is just left feeling super smooth and nourished - I was actually amazed at how moisturised my skin felt after I used it.
I can completely understand why everyone raves about this scrub, it is worth every penny you pay. And I'll definitely be buying any other one before this one runs out.

Small Body Shop Haul

When the Body Shop has a discount code, you have to put an order in - I mean its only polite, right? Since I hadn't placed an order recently, I decided that I should pick up a few items. I used the 35% off code with free delivery, and since Quidco was having a cash back event I got extra money back as well. All the things I bought I had never used before, and two of the things I had never even seen before in their stores. I've used everything that I bought so I think I'll make it also like a mini review.

I've wanted a new moisturiser for ages, and, as much as I love the body butters I thought I would try one of their body purées. I picked the pink grapefruit scent, I thought it sounded like a nice smell and I'm really glad I did pick it. It smells so lovely and just sinks so well into the skin. I actually think I might prefer these to the body butters. You only need a little bit as it goes such a long way and it has been really good for my skin recently since my arms have been so dry. 

I spotted this on the site, and was really interested in it - at first I actually thought it was the one everyone's been blogging about recently but its a different one. The Blueberry Body Scrub-Gelee smells amazing! It basically just smells and looks like blueberry jam. Along with the larger seeds, there are tiny little scrub particles, that manage to give a really good, not overly abrasive scrub. I'm really impressed with this, its a scrub unlike any other that I've used, I'm definitely going to get the new one when it comes out. 

This was a complete impulse buy. I don't really know why I bought it - its just a cute little novelty sponge. Maybe I'll use my scrub with this? Who knows. It kind of reminds me of the Ribena advert with the cute little blueberries. 

 Another product I hadn't seen before in store before - I know if I had I would have snapped it up straight away! The Honeymania Bubble Bath Melt is so lovely, it smells gorgeous and the bubbles it creates are just so silky soft. You hardly need any of the product to make lots of bubbles, so this should last such a long time.

Joules | Fabulous Fingers and Toes set

The only part of my body - apart from my face - that I make an effort to take care of is my feet. that could be because when I was younger I got an infection in my foot that travelled up my leg - it hurt so so so much. Ever since then I have made an effort to look after my feet. My feet still don't appreciate the effort. Any sets for foot care I tend to jump at the chance to get. So when I saw this one by Joules in the Boots sale I didn't think twice at picking it up. I hadn't seen this in the store before the sale - hence why I didn't pick it up sooner.
I got this for a measly £7 (£8 without staff discount). Even if the products were rubbish, I now have a pretty box and a pack of mini nail files. I think the little pack of mini nail files was a nice little extra - and for me a much needed item. I always seem to break my nails when I'm out and never have a nail file to stop it breaking to far - I usually end up with one really short nail and the rest are long. The little nail file pack contains 6 mini nail files and are a pink and white box print - similar to the foot lotions print.

The set contains basically everything you could need to take care of you hands and feet. You get their Tantalising Toes Foot Scrub, Fabulous Feet Foot Lotion, small bar of soap, How Handy Hand Cream and a foot rock - for buffing away dead skin. Something in the tin smells really zesty - but from having a sniff at the products I can't actually figure out what it is that smells like that - I figure it has to be the soap, right?

I've had a foot rock in the past and I quite liked it - but my mum got me a PedEgg, so it got replaced. I will use the little foot rock in the bath when my skins a bit softer - it might be slightly easier to soften my skin up.

The How Handy Cream has a slight lemony scent to it - which now makes me think the zesty scent is coming from all the products. When I first used it I thought the cream would be slightly harder in consistency than it was - more body butter feeling. It just looks hard, but its not. It's a really soft, quickly absorbing cream. It instantly makes your hands feel silky soft, and it definitely has a slight lemony scent to it. The little tub contains 50ml of product - Soap and Glory's travel sized Hand Food has the same amount of product as this. I think I would prefer to carry the small tub in my bag over a small tube - it just seems more compact and like it would take up less space.
The bar of soap - now is this a body soap or just a hand soap? I think I'll keep it as just a hand soap, keep it on my sink for people to use. It has the same sort of scent as the hand cream, and is 50g of soap. I've not taken its wrapper off yet - purely down to the fact that the wrapping for it is so darn cute. The little floral pattern with the joules rabbit holding it together - I mean how could you remove that?

 I kind of love the name of this scrub - Tantalising Toes. How cool is that?! Of the times I've used this scrub I've used it with the foot stone to give my feet a good buffing - they deserve to have the living daylight buffed out of them. First few time the dry skin didn't completely go away - but the bits that were once really hard had begun to soften up.

The name of this isn't nearly as cool, but the lotion is pretty darn good - so that makes up for the lack of a cool name. Again, the same as the soap and hand cream, it has a lemony zesty scent. After using the foot scrub ( which I tried to use every other day) I applied this. Even on days that I hadn't used the scrub I applied this. I applied a good dollop onto my feet then put a pair of socks on over the top to make sure my feet got a really good moisturising.

Have you tried anything from Joules before?

Soap and glory, body butter and scrub

I've always loved Soap and Glory and always have one or two products from them. Two of my favourites are the Sugar Crush Body Buttercream and The Breakfast Scrub. These are the two I regularly buy and I love them to pieces.

Sugar Crush Body Buttercream is a beautifully soft, light and utterly delicious cream. Its a sweet explosion of limey citrusy goodness. This thick butter is heavenly, I really enjoy smothering my legs, arms and generally everywhere with this. The smell for some may be a little over whelming, but I absolutely adore the scent. The tub costs £10.50, which may seem a little pricey, but it lasts such a long time. Worth every penny.

The Breakfast Scrub is on the complete opposite end of the scent scale. This is a beautiful, heavenly, delicious biscuit smelling scrub. If it was acceptable to eat this then I totally would. The scrub isn't overly harsh, but it is quite abrasive so if your not a fan of a harsh scrub then this may not be for you. This is my 3rd or 4th tub of this, and I will continue to keep buying them. For £8 this is a complete steal. This helps to keep your skin in the best possible condition, its quite moisturising as well.
