    I'm sort of intrigued...does anyone use any of these products? Are they good? Would anyone recommend them??

    I've looked at them in Boots, but to be honest I really think you're paying for the packaging. They're not particularly cheap. I bought an FCUK exfoliator instead. About €7 I think, but it's very good and smells gorgeous.

    I got a big gift box full of this stuff for my birthday, and i have to say i really really like it. Smells gorgeous, and seems to do the trick!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,096 ✭✭✭LadyMayBelle


    I got that box too, love it. Really like the facial scrub, and while I do love the products, I do think they are overpriced and you are paying for the pretty packaging...

    Got the hat box aswell last christmas, nice stuff, but I wouldn't be rushing out to buy the products separately, but will probably pick up another hat box if they do them next Christmas though:)

    I think the stuff is a bit hit and miss. The body scrub is amazing though, has a lovely texture and leaves your skin feeling so soft afterwards, it seems to have a lot of oil in it, so you hardly need any moisturiser after it. The body butter is nice too. Very overpowering scent though, nearly over rides your perfume. The shower gel is lovely, very moisturising. The rest of the stuff I could take or leave, the face scrub and hair products are nothing special and the hand cream is really bad.

    The hat box was amazing value last Christmas, wonder if there's any chance they'll do the same offer this year. I'd be buying several, they make great gifts.

    I love their hair mask/conditioner 'Hair Supply'. I only ever use it as a conditioner, its expensive but worth it. You have to wash it out loads though, its stubborn :p

    I love love love the smell. I don't think they do a perfume, but if they did, I would certainly get one. Now that Benefit's Maybe Baby perfume has been discontinued (on the way out anyway), this is the next best match I could find.

    Having said that, I find their Hand Food cream to be one of the best handcreams I've ever used. I also have tried their day face cream, which gives the skin a nice glow.

    Also, if you are familiar with Bliss beauty products in Brown Thomas or Harvey Nicks, Soap & Glory is actually Bliss' cheaper line.

    I love love love the smell. I don't think they do a perfume,
    They have a body spray which is lovely just doesnt last v long.

    I got the hat box at xmas too. Loved it. Not mad on some of the products. That hair supply conditioner made my hair greasy. Really like the body scrub as it was really exfoliating and oily. Liked the hand cream too. Its just the smell i love too and agree some of the products are overpriced.

    Way too over-priced imo. The quality of the products does not warrant the price tag. I do like the packaging, I have to admit, but I honestly find the smell a bit too sickly sweet. I dunno, not a huge fan here.

    Does anyone think that Bliss' packaging actually looks a bit cheapy?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    S&G actually do a perfume, I see it in Boots all the time!

    I dunno what it smells like though, their stuff is way too expensive for me...

    Even with Boot card points? :)

    I remember seeing the scented body spray, but I'd rather have a bottle of the smellies. :) I wonder if I might have walked past it in Boots Liffey Valley at the weekend. :(
    Maybe they're not pushing the perfume as much as the creams and shower products, although I can't think why.

    I got the hatbox at Xmas, and I liked most of the products especially the face mask (No Clogs Allowed I think it was called).

    The major issue I had was the Clean Mary cleanser, which gave me a bad reaction just being near my eyes - I didn't even get it into my eyes! They were streaming, stinging, and blood shot for hours.:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,104 ✭✭✭moonflower


    I love Soap & Glory! Their moisturiser, scrub and lipgloss are great

    I always spend my points on food for the cinema :pac:

    I think I might save up next time, there's a moisturising mist that looks really nice.

    Yeah the perfume is in Liffey Valley but it's kind of just plonked on one of the lower shelves, odd... They used to have it in it's own little display next to the S&G stuff but took it down a while ago

    I only ever used their Sit Tight firming cream-smells lovely, packaging is coll and tingles when you put it on - which makes me think its working even if its not :p
    Have noticed a definite difference in the back of my thighs but then again I also started hitting the gym round the time I bought it, so the cream is prob doing feck all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,225 ✭✭✭fillefatale


    I only have experience with their body butter, I love it and the smell. And the body scrub seems good too. I've heard its hit and miss, especially the pore reducing product? The concealer type products don't seem great either. I'd only ever buy S&G when Boots have special offers on because you are paying more for the packaging.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,079 ✭✭✭dancingqueen


    I had the Hand Food cream thingy - it made my hands all slippery and oily, and I only used a bit.

    My new favourite stuff is Organic Surge - it's also in Boots and it is sooo yummy :)
