The first ever Soap & Glory product that I had enjoyed using and repurchased is the one and only Flake Away. It is also the cheapest body care within the brand (RM39) until I went to Sephora to repurchase a third tub. The price shoot up to RM55! I didn’t repurchase any since then and I’ve been missing Flake Away scent so so much. I can’t remember how or where I found out that Flake Away contain Soap & Glory signature Original Pink™ fragrance. So what else? I went amok with everything that has the exact scent!

When I was at the Sephora Black Card event, I grabbed a bottle of Clean On Me™ Creamy Clarifying Shower Gel. I was looking high and low for The Righteous Butter™ Body Lotion and there was none. I went back the next day with my mum to search again and I only managed to find the mini tub of The Righteous Butter™ Body Butter (RM19). I used the mini tub so moderately, as if it’s the most precious thing in the world. Then luck was on my side. I managed to purchase another bottle of Soap & Glory Clean On Me™ Creamy Clarifying Shower Gel (RM48) and The Righteous Butter™ Body Lotion (RM65) during the first Black Card Private Sale 20% OFF back in October 2014. Everything seems more worth it with 20% OFF isn’t it?

I’ve always said that I’m not a body lotion or a body butter girl. I find it to be uncomfortable having a sticky body the whole day or night. Soap & Glory completely changed me. Every night after shower I find myself eagerly wanting to slap on The Righteous Butter Body Lotion.

I find it so cool that every product under the Original Pink category bears the same scent. Other brand tend to make every item within the same scent category slightly different but based on my experience using four different products under Original Pink fragrance is that everything smells the same. At least to me . The scent lingers on the whole night and the whole morning the next day until I shower. Clean On Me™ Creamy Clarifying Shower Gel foams up very well. I only use two pumps on a shower loofah. The pump is not the deep type. It doesn’t pump up a whole lot per pump. Between The Righteous Butter™ Body Lotion and Body Butter, I’d choose The Righteous Butter™ Body Lotion. It is lighter and doesn’t feel too heavy on the skin even for someone like me who is not a fan of applying body lotion. This one I use generously. One pump for every section lol. The Righteous Butter™ Body Butter on the other hand is not bad though. I like how smooth, light and super moisturizing it is on the skin. It can be a lil tacky the next morning but I still like it. In fact I’ve bought a set of Soap & Glory Holiday 2014 set – Full Clean Ahead (RM51), which contain a full size tub of Body Butter *excited*

What I like about Soap & Glory bottle product is that the half litre (500ml) can really last a very long time. Like I said, I use one pump for each section of my body which means I’m using seven pumps each night and you know what, I’ve only used up the bit on top like what you see on the first and second photo above since end of October 2014. The shower gel will most probably finish up first but I doubt I’ll be able to use the body butter soon

Since I’m taking a break from working, I’m also on shopping ban as I’m no longer earning any income or whatsoever. Good for me because I can take this opportunity to be more hardworking in using up all the beauty product stash that I have. Like I said before I have a very good self-control on shopping but I do plan to splurge on Make Up For Ever products during their official opening of Pro Boutique which was held last Friday. I don’t know if it’s fated or what. I have to absent myself from the event that day as I was rushing some freelance job that I took on. So no haul for me.

I went to Sephora KLCC last Sunday to hunt for gifts for a dear friend of mine. Since I can’t shop for myself doesn’t mean I can’t shop for somebody else right? Right? There’s something about spending on other people. It makes me happy to see my friends caught in surprise with small gifts that I got for them. Among the array of gifts I bought, I also pick up a tub of Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Polish.

Here’s the thing. This friend of mine has everything. She is more knowledgable in beauty than I do, she’s a professional makeup artist, she’s young, she’s pretty and cute, she’s very fashionable and she literally doesn’t need anything. She is the only friend that is able to make me scratch my head thinking what to get for her. While I was at Sephora, I scroll back at our Whatsapp chat because we do talk about beauty stuff most of the time. In conclusion, I can’t give her jewellery because she have tons and she have better taste than I do LOL, she doesn’t use body stuff, hair care stuff or bath stuff. However she did say she only use Soap & Glory. But which? Hair? Bath? See the dilemma I’m in? In the end I pick up one miniature body wash, one Flake Away, one miniature shampoo and one miniature conditioner from Soap & Glory for my friend and some other stuff from Sephora. Then I saw that other full size body scrub is only RM39. I double confirm Flake Away price with the BA as the price tag was not anywhere visible. Price indeed is RM39 so I put the miniature back and took the full size instead. I wasn’t sure if I’ll gift my friend this as well because afterall she did say she don’t use any bath stuff . I decided that I will only think about it at home. If the gift box can fit, I’ll gift her Flake Away as well.

You’re reading this review means you can already guess that I didn’t send out Soap & Glory Flake Away to my friend. I wasn’t able to fit the large tub into the largest gift box that was given by Sephora and I already fill the box to the top brim forcefully. That means this Flake Away is mine *evil laugh*

When I first untwist the cover off, I was greeted with a burst of sweet candy scent. This body polish wasn’t like what I expected – dry and coarse. Instead this Soap & Glory Flake Away is more of a finely milled type. One would not have guess that it contain shea butter, sweet almond oil, peach seed powder, skin smoothing sea salt, grapeseed and sugar as it sit smoothly in the tub. I wasn’t really paying attention to what I bought. This is body polish, not body scrub. But it works the same for me

The first thing that I notice when I scoop Flake Away out from the tub is the sugar grains. Boy the look is deceiving at first but once you touch it you will definitely feel the sugar and sea salt. It is more runnier than any other body scrub. I suppose all body polish is like this.

I can clearly see the transparent sugar grains, sea salt and peach seed powder grains. My nose also detected a strong peach scent from the body polish. It smells absolutely amazing. Where have I been all this while eh? No wonder a few of my friends only use Soap & Glory. Although the texture is more runnier, I can still feel the soft exfoliating from the sugar. The body polish warms up a bit when I start scrubbing. There is also a strong sugary scent burst during scrubbing that I can almost lick my own arm. Just kidding

There’s this tagline on the outside tub of Soap & Glory Flake Away that says “it might be fine if her friends are flaky, but lady’s legs should never be”. Well, true to that. I’m not flaky but my skin do feel extra soft and smooth after rinsing. I like that the scent lingers on for a good few hours. If you see me smelling myself next time, it’s because of Soap & Glory Flake Away

You know what? I will definitely repurchase this. It lives up to it’s rave, it’s more affordable than every other body scrub or body polish that I’ve used and it smells oh-so-good too. This big 300ml tub will last you for a good few months maybe but I doubt it’s going to last more than a month for me as I’ve already used up a quarter of it. You wanna know something odd? I couldn’t find the content ml/gram on the tub at all. I only knew that this is 300ml after searching in Soap & Glory website. How odd.

I’ve heard about Sephora Loyalty Program long time ago however I never apply it because I can’t seems to get anything to purchase in Sephora. Really weird but it’s a fact. Until yesterday I read about their new membership which is known as Sephora White Card Loyalty Program and anyone can apply this card without any purchase.

I asked one of the BA and she told me I can only apply if I purchase any item. It seems everyone is experiencing different scenario with different BA. Anyway, I walked around with Gin after her Burberry Beauty makeover and I saw something that I’ve always wanted to get but couldn’t find. That item is Soap & Glory Arch De Triumph.

Here’s to let you understand more on Sephora White Card.

You can earn points with every purchase. With every 250 points accumulated , you’ll be entitled to a 10% discount voucher for your next purchase! All the more reasons to give yourself a treat!

In addition to the 10% discount voucher with every 250 points, you’ll have access to the following:

• Special discounts or gifts for card holders
• Special birthday surprises
• Get updated on the latest in beauty innovation
• Be invited to special Sephora events
• Plus much, much more…

There’s of course a Pros & Cons of this membership.
Once you accumulated 250 points and used up the 10% discount, the priviledge died and you need to re-spend and accumulate another 250 points to enjoy another 10% discount. I read their T&C in the website and it said that you can use the 10% discount several times in the day of your purchase. Not sure how true this is. The good thing is you can check your points balance at http://www.loyalty.sephora.com.my/.

As for Soap & Glory Arch De Triumph, it is a 2-in-1 brow pencil and highlighter. I bought this at RM41. I like the fact that Soap & Glory are not that expensive and the product name are catchy. I’ll review this once I get the hang of using it
