Cupid Love Soap ||MaddyBeautyLove





Cupid Love Soap Review



To add to my building collection of soaps, I couldn't resist picking up just one more. Cupid Love is a soap that Lush has released in time for Valentines Day. I've read some not quite so rave reviews about this soap when surfing the net, and it got me interested since soap is something that Lush has never faulted with for me. 

Price: 

$6.95/100g

Palm Oil Free, Vegan, Animal Cruelty Free.

My Thoughts:

This soap has the look and the consistency of sparkly, raspberry jelly. I still can't pin point what makes it so, but the texture is extremely squishy. At least it made it a dream to cut up in to smaller pieces.

The ingredients in this soap like the passion fruit juice, figs and soya yoghurt are meant to have vitamin B properties and super nourishing for your skin while the rosewood oil and cinnamon leaf oil is supposed to create a kind of spicy, woody aroma. Super weirdly, there is something about this soap that reminds me of pasta. Being ethically and economically conscience, they have also made this soap palm oil free by instead using coconut oil and rapseed oil, and of course there's no packaging. Making this soap completely guilt free! 

Because of the texture I doubted how well it would later up in the shower and it turns out I was right. Even with the aid of a loofah it didn't create the suds that I adore from Lush's other soaps. As an extension of this, I didn't find that the scent lingered on the skin at all when I left the shower. A positive of this is that it won't mix at all with any perfumes you might use for Valentines Day. 

Overall I find that this is one thing from Lush that I neither absolutely adore, nor dislike. The lack of nourishing lather and the fact that the scent doesn't linger on the skin (something I get from other Lush soaps is a little disappointing), but I like their choice of ingredients and the sweet scent. But of course the scent of something is always up to personal preference, so I definitely recommend popping in to a store and checking it out for yourself!



What are your thoughts on the Cupid Love soap?

Recent Instagram Loves #1 ||MaddyBeautyLove


My Recent Instagram Loves


One thing you will quickly learn about me is that I am an Instagram addict. So, it's no surprise that over time, I have taken photos of products that I can't help but stare at lovingly.

Lush's Rockstar Soap
A product that I raved about in a recent video, in which you can see how clearly I love it. Lush really do know how to create some darn fantastic soaps! I honestly cannot get enough of their Rockstar Soap, which carries the same scent as their Snow Fairy Shower Gel (a Christmas Exclusive). But basically, this soap smells how a Fairy Floss Care Bear would smell. Creamy with a good mix of candy and fairy floss. An amazing scent that will follow you out the shower, which I don't find in any other shower product. It has lasted me weeks upon weeks. This I award to the action of putting it is a used Lush pot (pictured), in order to keep it away from water and other bathroom elements. I definitely recommend this soap!

You can find this block of yumminess at any Lush store, for $6.95 per 100g.

My too-frequent naughty breakfasts
When I'm feeling like I need to be treated lavishly, I don't hesitate to chop up some strawberries, banana's and some poor crushed Freddo's with my oat cereal. I've never had such fun with breakfast in my life, it definitely mixes things up and makes me look forward to eating. It also tastes like heaven!

Original Source Mint and Tea Tree Hand Wash 240 ml
Mint and tea tree, need I say more? Firstly it smells amazing, it has a tingly, clean effect on your hands and it lathers up amazingly! The downside? I'm nearly out!

You can find this one in supermarkets and chemists from prices ranging from $4.00 - 4.39. 

Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in Standout 2.7g
A drugstore gem that took me by surprise after picking it up for $10 when it was on sale. I can now declare that Standout is by far my favourite red. It's the kind that makes your teeth look white and makes you feel like a 1950's bombshell. It has the pigmentation and the lasting power of a high-end lip product. It applies as a bright red, but the more you layer it, the darker it will become, making it perfect for the day and the night.

You can find this product at any Priceline and Chemist Warehouse for $17.95

I'd love to follow you on Instagram, leave your names down below!
