Soap & Glory's Heel Genius: An Overnight Sensation

You might remember my last attempt to avoid those foot exfoliating monstrosities by getting myself a pair of Eco Tool cotton socks, well on that occasion my choice of balm really didn't wow me, it didn't 'knock my socks off' as it were (there's puns in this post, get used to it). That's where Soap & Glory's Heel Genius stepped in with the cheeky tagline 'BETTER THAN A PEDICURE?!'. I love you Soap & Glory but I'll be the judge of that one, thanks. 

I had expected Heel Genius to smell exactly the same as 98% of Soap & Glory's body products, as in like Christmas 2011, but nope. We're talking a clean, pleasant and a more subtle scent than we're used to from the pun slinging, pink brand. On the ingredients list we're looking at Allantoin (it's a natural chemical compound used to treat problem skin)(I didn't know either), Glycerin, Macadamia Oil, Menthol (though undetectable sniff-wise), Bilberry and Orange & Lemon Fruit Acid Smoothers. 

The instructions on the packaging are to 'Apply every night (or as often as you remember)' but truthfully, I used this balmy moisturising mix once overnight last week with my Eco Tools socks and haven't needed to even look at this tube since. 

My feet were (and are) soft to the touch, moisturised and nourished even now, a week later and that's no mean feet ( I can hear you groaning, I'm almost done)... There may have even been a celebratory moonwalk, while the youngest was eating his brekkie to show him how happy I was. I'm not proud. He never is. 

While I used my Eco Tools socks for application, you genuinely don't need 'em. A pair of simple cotton sockies from Penney's/Primark will do the job just as effectively once you have this bad boy. 

You can get Soap & Glory's Heel Genius here for €7.65 AND it's on 3 for 2 at the moment. Add in the sock price and you still have a daycent foot treatment for less than a tenner. So was it 'BETTER THAN A PEDICURE?!', I'll have to say no but change your wording to 'AS GOOD AS A PEDICURE!' and you're on to a winner. Bless your little cotton socks, Heel Genius, you can stay. 

Introducing Soap & Glory ARCHERY™ Brow Tint and Precision Pencil

I'm going to hold my hands up here and admit that I didn't do a lot to my brows on a daily basis. I can argue that I have neither the time nor the inclination but the truth be told, I haven't an iota of what to be doing. I have them threaded or treated by the Body Shop or Benefit in turn to keep them in shape but that's about it. On a recent trip to London, however, I picked up Soap & Glory's Archery Tint & Precision Pencil and it's all changed. 

Ridiculously simple instructions, non?

Being a lover of most things Soap and Glory I decided to give this a whirl, a double ended doohickey in my perfect brow colour for a tenner? What could go wrong? 

Felt tip first then fill in with crayon

The answer is zero, zilch, nada. Soap & Glory Archery has slipped so seamlessly into my daily routine that it almost went without its own post. The swatch above is heavily done to show you the colour of the product but, in reality, it's subtle, blonde definition that's almost fool proof to apply. 

Every morning I fill in my brows slightly with the felt tip in light feathery strokes, then finish off by shaping with the crayon. The effect is subtle but notable (to me) and lasts for the entire day. Genuinely, I now get why people say your brows frame your face. 

Priced at £10 from all large Boots stores (I can't seem to find the € pricing) Soap & Glory's Archery is available in two shades, Love is Blonde and Brownie Points and is on shelves now. 

Do you do your brows every day? I'd love to know what you're using...
