First Impressions: Soap & Glory Spa Body Polish

I was walking through Shopper's Drug Mart today and saw that all Soap & Glory products were $4.99 CAD! I like a good scrub so I decided to try Flake Away Spa Body Polish which is normally $18.99 CAD! I could not pass up the deal or the chance to try a product that I have been so curious about.

Soap & Glory is a UK brand that manufactures body care, skin care, cosmetics and accessories. This innovative and quirky brand with a retro feel been around since 2006.

Anyways...on with the goods!

When I first saw the product I thought that it was a really ugly bright yellow colour. I was also not too keen on the peachy-lemony smell. I used it in the shower after my body wash today and the smell grew on me but the colour still grosses me out. However, I was pleasantly surprised that I did not need a whole lot of the product for it to be effective. It wasn't too abrasive that I rubbed my skin raw as I have in the past with salt scrubs. I didn't use any moisturizer afterward and my skin is moisturized which, in this dry Calgary climate, is pretty amazing. I have used scrubs in the past that were actually quite drying but this one, I like. After I used it it was commented that I smelled like "soap".

Overall, my first impression of the product is a good one! I like the smell. The packaging is a nice pink screw top 300 mL jar that could be used again or recycled.

It was quite moisturizing and it felt like I was pampering myself. I do not like the regular price tag of these products and would probably not purchase for them for myself if they were not on sale unless I really fell in love with a product. I heard that they put out discounted packages this time of year that would make good gifts for the beauty enthusiast.
