If you know me, or have ever stepped into my bathroom, you’d know how much of a Soap & Glory ADDICT I am! I was lucky enough to receive a couple of their cosmetics range. Now, I have to be honest with you, I barely walk past their cosmetics in Boots, so didn’t really know what to expect - apart from that it would have a LUSH smell!
RRP: £8
Firstly, I absolutely LOVE all S&G packaging. It’s really funky & original. They always have the best names (like this lip gloss) for their products as well as the text on their boxes, &/or even the product itself. This is CANDY GLOSS.
The packaging is nice & sturdy APART from the actual head of the gloss applicator. It’s a little too flimsy for me - I feel like I’m going to break it! This is what S&G say about the ‘Mother Pucker’…
I’m not sure what ‘Superfill Microsphere Technology’ is but claims that your lips will expand 10X bigger!!
I’m loving that there is natural oils in here! I was expecting my lips to be moisturised & plumped up ready to POUT! Here’s what I got…
You can tell that this baby started working in mere seconds of applying it!! This is what it’s like from the side…
As you can tell they are FULLER. It seems to have filled all the little lines in my lips out I mean, my lips are quite full naturally, so I wasn’t expecting drastic results. However… I prefer my lips with a bit of Candy Gloss on it It smells like cocoa butter to me which is another plus point, as I love a bit of cocoa butter! It’s super moisturising & not sticky like the MAC glosses. It also lasts for about 3ish hours which is great staying power & FAB for a night out
I wouldn’t say my lips are 10x bigger though. A down side of this gloss would be the TINGLING factor, for me. Once applied your lips start to tingle, pretty much like Carmex. I thought It would go away after about 10/15 minutes, but I could feel it for about an hour in! After about 15 minutes my lips didn’t get any bigger.
I’m loving the little GLITTER undertones of the gloss though. I’d wear this UNDER lip stick as it doesn’t work as well when you’ve already got product on top. But there’s no harm in topping it up.
I’ve tried ‘Lip Injection’ by Too Faced & that stang my lips & made them look a little red (maybe I have sensitive skin?) but I prefer this, for sure!
Overall this product is a HIT for me. I had never thought of using a lip plumper but hey, new year, new products Putting the tingling aside, this product is personally very good, especially for only £8! They have some gorgeous colours in this range (plum, peach, nude & clear) which I’m looking to try out! I’m thinking to get the set of 3 as it’s great value for money (you’re practically getting one for free!) YAY
If you’re not sure where to get these from head on down to your local Boots or Harvey Nichols. Online retailers ASOS stock them too! If you want a little nose around the Soap & Glory website click HERE. Once I get the other colours, I’ll be sure to let you know how I found them I hope they’re super pigmented
P.S - Have you tried any Soap & Glory cosmetics? What’s your FAVOURITE? I’ve got one product that I’ve been using pretty much every day which I’m thinking to review soon for you lovely ladies
I have this gloss too and I love it! Fab colour fab colour with just the right amount of sparkle. I don’t like the tingle either - it’s more of a sting :S
I love the colour too, I’ve been wearing it on its own recently LOL! Oh no, really?! For me I didn’t find it a stinging sensation! x
Lol Carmex is like a tingle but this gloss stings like hell! x
Really? I think it might be different depending on each person because it really didn’t sting me! x
Ooo la la! Yep it definitely filled in the lip fine lines. I used to use that and also tried lip injection (no your not the only one - my lip line turned red whenever I used it!), then I gave in and got the real deal done…lol
Fab review hun,
Nina,x
I’m so scared to get the real deal done yikes, red?! Crazy, the Lip Injection by Too Faced make my lips a little red LOL… Your lips do look fab though Nina! I think I’ll be seeing you very soon xx
Ahhh I think have this!! you have inspired me to actually use it now haha I actually like the tingles *weirdo*
One I used to use tons was Lip Injection by too faced which was good too!
xx
Yay!! Keep using it, I feel to use it on a daily basis LOL but I’ll leave it for special times But I really like it by itself… I can’t wait to try the other colours (especially nude!) x
Didn’t even know there was other colours! I need a serious shopping trip, been too long. xx
LOL ah, I haven’t been real shopping in ages (online shopping doesn’t count!) hehe x
Oooo…this looks like such a nice gloss. I can definitely tell a difference!
It feels really nice on I have a thing about lip glosses that are too sticky but this one’s fine x
I love how it made the lines go away. I would love to try this!
Amazing right? It was pretty much straight away! x
Soap & Glory’s Hand food is my HG hand cream, absolute love! Did a post on my love for it if you fancy a nosy Ooo am constantly on the search for products to give me an Angelina Jolie-esque pout! Tried lip injection too & loved the effect but yes, the tingle factor was quite high! But you can deffo notice a difference with this! And I love the nude tone of the gloss too.

Such a great review! Thank you! Definitely going to order this (I just wish it wasn’t such a pricey delivery rate to Australia!) My lips are quite full as well, similar to yours - yet I love what it did to yours! It just gives it that extra xo
Hopefully ASOS do some delivery deals in Australia which will help you get it for cheaper Or even try eBay? Ah, yes it totally gives you that extra oomph! x
I love the name!!! its fab!!!
I love all the names of S&G products
this isn’t locally available in my country.

Oh no! You can try ASOS & eBay incase they have some on there?
ohhhhhhhhh my lips are already big but i want them bigger! thanks for this post. I am trying to find something that wont sting my lips. i should give this a try!
LOL thing tingling does last a while but the more you use it the less you think about it, hehe!
ahh i have this! but i think mines slightly different, it’s the funniest feeling EVER! i do love it but the mr doesn’t. he tends not like wearing lip plumper himself hahaa!! thats my only problem with the product, the sticky side!
I got the big S&G tote thingy for xmas so i’ve got loooads of things to get through, trying out the shampoo and conditioner… going well so far! but i think I still prefer aussie xxx
Oh no! That sucks, but its a very good lip plumper I got the little brown bag full of things & it’s amazing! I wanna get some more - I want the whole range LOL I’ve never tried Aussie (I have too much hair & their bottles are too small) LOL x
Looks great! Must pick it up soon xx
Eeks, can’t wait to see which one you get x
Someone JUST told me to try this! LOL.. Seems like a God Send to me! I tried the Too Faced lip injection too.. I didn’t like it! I shall be adding this one to my wish list.. x
LOL - that’s totally a sign!! Hehe, I’m gonna make a wishlist too! It seems to be never ending though lol x
I’ve never tried Soap & Glory products, but I’ve always been interested in them and I was actually tempted to pick one of their sexy mother pucker glosses up before.
But it really does look like it plumpes up your lips!
Soap & Glory is one of my favourite brands (especially for bath & body products) This was the first for their cosmetics but definitely a hit, I can’t wait to try more things Thanks, doll!
awesome review! i really want to try soap and glory products next time there’s an offer I’m definitely going to give them a go xxx
Definitely give them a go! I swear by their bath & body products! x
Love the colour, your lips are full so you don’t really need it, but they do look slighter plumper! You don’t wanna trout pout now do you lol! x
Lol, definitely don’t want a trout pout that’s for sure! Hehe x
I have all three colours and love them. I think I am getting addicted to the tingling though haha!!
I love Hand Food by S & G the most. This weather ruins my hands so this helps.
I bought my bf some of the mens range for xmas so I will be doing a wee review on them soon with his comments xxx
Ohh, I’ll have to watch this space for those! Yay, I’m glad to hear the all the colours in the range are lovely

It will definitely give you that extra oomph I have so many S&G things (but not enough hehe) x
you are lucky enough to have been blessed with naturally pouty lips, but i do like the way this gloss is working to make them even better. i have very thin lips and have been on the hunt for a lip plumper that actually works! this might be my next purchase thanks to your detailed time-frame pics, very cool.
Aww, thanks JennySue! I’m glad it was of help - I really want to try the different colours (especially nude!) x
I have this one in plum and I agree it works amazingly!
That colour looks gorgeous, I really wanna try nude though as I know I’d use that like all the time hehe x
