Soap & Glory's Sugar Crush - My New Scrub Love

Yep, I'm pretty late to this Soap & Glory party but HOW has the Sugar Crush range escaped my product piggery attention for so shaggin' long?! I have, of course, been stocking up on the bright pink products every Christmas for years now but somehow this sweet lime slice of heaven has escaped me thus far. Not no more, Sugar Crush, not no more. 

Sugar Crush Body Scrub: €11.25 Here

The indulgent Sugar Crush Body Scrub is one of the thickest I've ever used, usually I'll apply a scrub to my dry skin and give it some circular rubs before even stepping under the shower stream but Sugar Crush is having none of that messing. Substantial enough to sit on the skin like fragrant, scrubby molasses, you're going to need uisce to work this over the skin and plenty of it. 

Blended with smashed brown sugar with a fruity lime fragrance, sweet lime oil and almond oil with macadamia grains and glycerin, you have to smell Sugar Crush to believe it. The sweet lime is tart enough to keep the scent the right side of sickening and the instant soft sheen on my skin is enough to rocket this scrub into the top Soap & Glory spot product for me. 

Sugar Crush Body Buttercream: €14.75 Here

You know those scents that have you smelling your own wafts as you move? The kind that elicit furrow browed glances as you've buried your head in your own elbow again? That's what Sugar Crush Body Buttercream is to me. Smelling incredibly like Key Lime Pie, this sweet biscuity scent is astoundingly long lasting for a body butter and I'd wear it every single day, even if it wasn't a kick ass skin smoother too. 

I've been cocooning myself in this unctuous buttercream after my shower before I hop into the leaba and fanning the duvet at myself as I drift off to dream about a silky soft bod in the morn. It's gorgeous! 


I picked these up on the 3 for 2 offer in Boots and had the body wash not been ravaged from the shelves I'd've picked that up too. 

Have you tried it yet? Am I exaggerating when I say 'BEST SOAP & GLORY SET EVARR!'?

Isa Dora Sugar Crush Nails: I'm Afraid We Can't Be Buds.

The world and his dog know it's all about textured nails this Summer with OPI proffering Liquid Sand and Zoya PixieDust to name but two brands on the bandwagon but Isa Dora Sugar Crush has something that neither of those brands do - the ability to disintegrate as soon as remover is applied. Result! 

 

Pool Crush: A bright, vibrant blue that dries to textured matte

As with all Isa Dora nail polishes the Sugar Crush range is 4-Free, that's free from formaldehyde, DBP, camphor and toluene. All great news, especially when the colour payoff is so good. 

Isa Dora Pink Crush: Magenta pink chock FULL of silver micro glitter. Dries matte & sparkly

Isa Dora Coral Crush over Pool Crush

Coral Crush reminds me so much of Frosties sweets on the nail, its bright rose gold and silver micro glitter is a sight to behold. I layered it here over Pool crush for a night on the tiles and the effect was gorgeous. 

Now the not so hot news about Sugar Crush polishes. It HATES water, I discovered this while rinsing dishes only a couple of hours after applying Pink Crush but it stands for all three colours I've tried. Once it comes in contact with water it loosens and chips within minutes. *sad face* 

That's all very well for a handy excuse to get out of doing the dishes but I've found that it chips after hand washing too. *Super sad face* 

Like Gizmo himself : Stay AWAY from the water!

Isa Dora Sugar Crush polishes come in ten gorgeous shades that truly are incredible on the nail but the fact that they chip so quickly once gotten wet means I can't in all consciousness send you out to Debenhams and all good pharmacies to part with your €9.75 without warning you first. 

Yep, they're stunners. Yep, they make perfect statement nails... but Nope, you're not going to have it on your nails for very long (unless you're a mucky pup) or you bring the bottle with you (which I do).

What think we? Have you tried Sugar Crush polishes yet?
