Now I'm a huge fan of the Sugar Crush range by Soap and Glory. I was in dire need of a back up of my beloved Sugar Crush body wash and took advantage of the 3 for 2 offer Boots were having and noticed a couple of new products in the range, the Sugar Crush body spray and Sugar Crush hand cleansing gel.

Sugar Crush Body Wash

I feel like everyone and their mother in the blogging world has mentioned this at least once, it's a bit of a cult classic if you're a fan of sweet citrus scents. So first off, you get a massive bottle of the stuff. I can usually make this last for a good 6 months before I need to buy another. This is definitely a morning shower scent, it definitely wakes you up. The scent lingers for a long time, so you smell like a human lime for the rest of the day (which isn't necessarily a bad thing.) It's easily my favourite body wash ever and isn't the packaging just so cute?!

RRP: £6.50 and is available at Boots

Sugar Crush Body Spray

First off, the bottle is so cute looking. Secondly, this smells absolutely divine, although it's definitely not as strong as the body wash and the hand gel, which I think I would have preferred for a body spray, it doesn't smell as limey as the other two products either which was quite a disappointment. They do however have a new 100ml bottle of Sweet Lime and Vanilla Musk within the range, which is definitey on my wishlist. Nevertheless, this spray's nice for a little spritz.

RRP: £4 and is available at Boots.

Sugar Crush Hand Cleansing Gel

This is definitely my favourite of the two new products, I'm obsessed with hand sanitisers, I usually have three in my bag at a time (all different scents, of course.) And boy does this smell citrusy, I made the mistake of putting this on on the bus and it's all anyone could smell for the following 15 minutes. I find that a lot of hand sanitisers dry my hands out but this one is lovely. Although one little niggle, a lot comes out when you squeeze it, I've nearly used up most the bottle and I've only had it for a week, okay, I use it a lot but that's besides the point. It comes in a generous 50ml sized bottle and it's really affordable. 

RRP: £2.50 and is available at Boots.

Let me know what your favourite Soap and Glory products are.

That's all for now,

Hey!

So I mentioned in my tag post last night that I'd be going out to town and raiding the charity shop for books. As my blog name suggests, I like books, hence the 'chapter'. I've just never really gotten round to talking about books and what not. So I took a list of books on Goodreads wishlist with me and found 4 of the books I've been wanting to read for aaaages. And then my little sister surprised me by going into Poundland by herself and finding a book for me. It was a weird experience being out of the house, admittedly I was only out for 45 minutes but I did and with no panic attacks! *yey*

The Pocket Book of Boosh - Poundland: £1.

Completely brand new book, retails for £10 in Waterstones (sorry what.) and whilst I was wondering round a charity shop, my sister went for a wander round Poundland and spotted this bad boy and bought it for me, bless her. I absolutely adore The Mighty Boosh and have recently gotten my sister into it, so yey!

My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult - Sue Ryder (charity shop): £1.

So the condition of this book when you first see it is OMG IT LOOKS BRAND NEW, but the spine is slightly indented (I can get over it because the cover is still in pretty condition). It retails second hand for around £3.50, so a bargain! I absolutely adore the movie and I've been looking for this book forever.

RSVP by Helen Warner - Sue Ryder (charity shop): £1.

THIS BOOK LOOKS LIKE IT'S NEVER BEEN READ. SCORE. I've basically picked up a brand new HARDCOVER copy of this book that retails for £8.99 usually. Okay so it is a Chick-lit book but who cares? It's been on my wishlist for ages and I finally bought it!

Survivor: My Story - The Next Chapter by Sharon Osbourne - PACT (charity shop): 25p.

YES YOU DID JUST READ THAT RIGHT. 25P FOR A PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW HARDCOVER COPY OF THIS BOOK. OH I'M GETTING TO EXCITED ABOUT BOOKS AH.

It retails for about £4-£6 new so this is a bargain beyond belief. Sharon Osbourne is a goddess aswell so you know.

A Living Nightmare (#1 in Cirque Du Freak series) by Darren Shan - PACT (charity shop): 25p.

I've remember getting this book out from the library a while ago and never actually got round to reading it, it's quite a short book so it'll only take a day and a bit to read it. And for 25p you can't go wrong.

Sugar Crush Body Wash from Soap & Glory - Boots: £6.50.

I only went into town with £10 and I had money left over, so yeah, that happened. Sugar Crush is my `favourite scent ever so, I DON'T NEED TO EXPLAIN MYSELF, I HAVE A PROBLEM OK. :-(

I hope you enjoyed this haul! You may now realise my excitement over books and how much I love to read so yes.

That's all for now,

1. GREED: What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive item?

My most inexpensive beauty item is probably this gorgeous pink lipstick I bought from Savers for 75p. It's unbranded but it's so pigmented and moisturising. My most expensive is probably my Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. (I'm not usually one for splashing out on high end beauty products)

2. WRATH: What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with?

I'd actually go with the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer, oooh controversial. Well when I have a break out, I find that that concealer just doesn't do that and kind of makes my spots really hurt. I might have an allergic reaction, I don't know. But other times, I absolutely adore that c0ncealer.

3. GLUTTONY: What are your most delicious beauty products?

My most delicious beauty products? Well, I'm going to assume that means scents and I'm gonna go with my Sugar Crush body wash and Sugar Crush body scrub. I'll just repurchase and repurchase them products. If Soap & Glory ever discontinue them I may just cry. Also, I really like the scent of my Bourjois Healthy Mix Gel Foundation, it just doesn't smell like normal foundations. It's so nice.

4. SLOTH: What beauty product do you neglect due to laziness?

So, I'm actually going to say eyeliner. It's rare that I wear eyeliner anyway, it's just not a part of my daily make up routine but even when I do want to wear eyeliner I just go 'lol naaaah'. From the ages of 12-14 eyeliner is all I wore (but that could be due to my baby goth phase hahaha.)

5. PRIDE: What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?

I'd probably say my Phwoarr Paint concealer by Seventeen, it just hides everything, hahah. Also, my Falsies mascara by Maybelline, one of the only things I genuinely like about myself are my eyes and eyelashes (I have super long eyelashes) so loads of mascara just makes me feel confident.

6. LUST: What attributes do you find most attractive about the opposite sex?

Eyes, hair and personality. 

7. ENVY: What items would you most like to receive as a gift?

I'd say, either the Soap & Glory Loved & Glossed gift set or the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. These are two things that have been on my list of things to buy for so long but I just never have the money. :-(

I hope you enjoyed that tag! I tag all of you reading this right now.

I had super bad writer's block today also, I didn't have access to a camera so was unable to do a review. :-(

That's all for now,

Rachel. xo
