Hello Lovelies!!
I wanted to do a quick post on one of my all time favourite face products 'soap and glory's Scrub Your Nose In It' because ...well I think it really deserves one!!
I have been using this product for years, I first came across it when I was desperately searching the shelves in Boots for a product that was actually going to help my skin and not make it worse which most drug store skin products seemed to do and believe me I had tried EVERYTHING. I used to suffer with really bad skin when I was younger I also had/still have very sensitive skin which can be extremely temperamental, even to this day though my skin is now clear I get scared of using new products in case my skin flares up.
Anyway so there I was scanning the shelves and Scrub Your Nose In It caught my eye, I wont lie the reason it caught my eye was purely because it was in a pink tube and I really liked the style of it (well done Soap and Glory) so I had a read of the back liked what it said and thought I would try it out, how glad I am that I did :)
The Product:
in the words of Soap and Glory: "At last - a simple solution for large pores and clogging. Just Scrub Your Nose In It™ with this amazing face scrub. Our fruit-acid formula leaves skin looking bright and radiant."
As the name suggests it is a scrub but its so fine that it is gentle enough to use everyday, it also doubles up as a mask Soap and Glory say: "Just leave a thin layer on skin 3 minutes longer for an oil absorbing, brightening pore cleansing mask." I often use it as a mask before a night out or if I am having a bad skin day.
I really don't think I could say enough amazing things about this product after I have used it my skin always look flawless and radiant, it absorbs any excess oils on the face and leaves your skin soft and smooth.
Although the product doesn't claim to 'clear' skin up or be a 'spot' treatment in anyway it really did wonders for my skin, with regular use my spots slowly started to disappear.
Even my Brother uses this (he will kill me for announcing that haha) he works with food so his skin is very oily and greasy from work and he is prone to breakouts, he had run out of his own face wash so grabbed the nearest thing to him around the sink which happened to be Scrub Your Nose In It he liked it so much he carried on using it (without asking I might add) until I noticed It was quickly going down, so I went to blame my mum and my brother was like umm sorry its me using it, so next time I went to get some I got some for him and he's been using it ever since, he finds it really clears his skin up to and removes ALL traces of oil.
It smells amazing too its minty and fruity at the same time if that makes sense so you really do get that super fresh feeling.
I purchase it from Boots they sell it for £7.50 for 125ml, Boots more often than not has 3 for 2 on all beauty and skincare products so I always stock up and it lasts a long time as you only need a pea sized amount.

Appearance:
If you didn't already guess I would give this product an easy 10/10!!! Its by far my favourite product in my skincare routine and its in a pretty pink tube bonus :)

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation Review ♥
I have always been a slave to MAC Studio Fix Fluid I have used it for years and out of habit I always just used to re-buy, however I don't think it staying power is that good well not on my skin anyways by mid morning it would be quite patchy and I would always have to re do my make-up after lunch even with a primer. I started a bit of online research in to other foundations and read a few blogs on Estee Lauder double wear so I decided to give it a go, I really couldn't decide if I liked it or not it DID stay on all day without patching and it did give a really good cover but I found it was just so hard to work with once its on its on and doesn't leave much room for manoeuvre I also felt like my skin couldn't breathe.
I was reading through blogs last week and I came across a few on NARS Sheer Glow Foundation all of the blogs I read had really good things to say about it, so I took myself off to my local Space NK to check it out :)
The lady who served me was in fact wearing it and it looked amazing on her so I was even more keen to get some, so she matched me up and I purchased some, it cost £30.50.
What NARS says: "NARS reinvents foundation with modern formulations designed to enhance your natural complexion without masking it. This sheer weightless formula glides on effortlessly, blurring imperfections and evening skin tone for the ultimate sophisticated finish that allows your skins natural beauty to shine through. NARS' exclusive complexion brightening formula evens and illuminates skin for an immaculate glow. Can be layered to achieve your desired coverage and finish.
If used daily your skins texture improves over time becoming softer, smoother and more luminous".
What I say: WOW!! I think I could actually sing about this foundation!! Its by far the best foundation I have ever used (so far) I am so impressed, I think it really does what it claims!! I was a bit sceptical about the fact it was a 'sheer' foundation as I do like quite a full and flawless coverage, but this is perfect its buildable without looking cakey so if like me you have a few things you need to cover you can build it up to your desired coverage and still look natural but I must admit I did only use a blob and that was more than enough for a perfect flawless cover :)
Its a lot runnier than what I have been used to in the past but it goes on an absolute dream and is so easy to apply it just melts on to the skin.
It makes my skin appear flawless with a really healthy glow, something I've never had from a foundation before, it really does brighten and make your skin look really awake. It also has fab staying power it lasted all day and didnt patch at all!!
I honestly am so so impressed and I am so happy I decided to bite the bullet and try something different!! I am just annoyed I didn't try it sooner!! 10/10 from me!!!
My shade : Mont Blanc Light 2.
Packaging:
Bottle:
Like most foundations this doesn't come with a pump and annoyingly I forgot to buy one so I will have to pop back and buy one as otherwise I find you get a lot of waste.
Me completely make-up free:
As you can see I have a fair amount to cover as I have quite a bit of redness around my nose and on my cheeks and chin I also have a couple of spots you can see :( one on my chin and the other on my cheek.
Brushes used:
To apply foundation I always use my MAC 187 duo fibre face brush and this worked perfectly with Sheer Glow :)
Thank you for reading my post :) I really would recommend this foundation!! Please comment with any questions or if you use any foundations that you think are really good, let me know as I am always on the look out for new products. I was tempted by the Dior Forever foundation and the Chanel lumiere Foundation if anyone has used these please let me know what you think. I read and reply to all my comments and really do appreciate them.

Me with Sheer Glow:
In this photo I have used only one layer of sheer glow I have no other products on or any concealer, you can see it has completely covered my skin all the redness and even the 2 spots which I am really impressed with as my foundations in the past have never covered up spots alone :)
