Now some of you may know I've had a pretty bad experience with Soap & Glory. Well, you can't really call it "pretty bad" but it WAS pretty bad for me. I loved their Peach Body Butter but the Soap & Glory Lip Plumpers were just..horrible. I've never had any plumping lip glosses before so the Soap & Glory Lip Plumper Set was the first for me.. (and now, I'm pretty sure it'll be my first AND last). The tingly feeling left me so freaked out. Here's the review I wrote about it if you've not read it. 


http://cookiedoughpineapplehearts.blogspot.com/2011/01/soap-glory-sexy-motherpucker-3-lip.html


Anyway, I went to Bangkok again (Yes, we finally have Soap & Glory in Malaysia now thanks to Sephora but somehow I prefer buying products in Bangkok. Maybe it's the good service there.) and went to Boots (WHY CAN'T WE HAVE BOOTS IN M'SIA,HMM?) and got myself a mini-sized Hand Food cream. I bought the mini-sized one, decided not to take any chances and well, after doing a quick test with the tester, I chose to buy it. It cost me 120 Baht, which is about RM 12. 


Pros: Smells really nice. (: Doesn't make your hands oily! That's probably the best feature about it. Makes my hands soft and smooth YET things don't slip off my hands after using this. I hate it when I use hand creams and  I can't seem to grip and hold my pencil without it slipping off my fingers and making a mess of my handwriting. (Yes, it's possible and it happens to me :P )  So yeah, that feature makes this cream a keeper. With this, I can use it in school, between classes. You know how the air-conditioning is practically a drying machine. My mom's been telling me how rough my hands are so..yeah. I'm glad I bought this really, something that I DO and WILL use. :P 


Cons: Well, I don't have much against this cream. Although the smell does stay on for very long. The fragrance lasts for HOURS. And for someone like me, who gets annoyed easily with strong smelling objects (lol), the smell bugs me..sometimes..especially when it's really hot. I don't mind using the cream and smelling it in an air-conditioned room and normally I use this in school but when I come home, I seldom turn on the air-cond (and the smell of the cream is still on my hands) and the dreadful humid heat of Southeast Asia just makes the smell worse. The smell lasts for HOURS. I repeat. That's..pretty much the only thing I don't really like. HOWEVER, if you ask me, I'd buy this again. Unless..I find some other product that has a nicer-smelling, not-so-lasting fragrance. And yes, I'm picky with my scents. Teehee. But that could be just me. My friend (who's a guy) tried it on and described it as a peachy-strawberry-perfumey-scent. And he pretty much liked the cream really, besides being called gay for smelling so good. Heheh. :) Credits to Matt for being my..wait, he tried it on himself. Ohwell.


OH, I ALMOST FORGOT TO GIVE THE DESCRIPTION:


*Reading this off the product*

This 3 Lip Plumping colours set includes three shades:

• Sexy Motherpucker Lip Plumping Colour Nude
• Sexy Motherpucker Lip Plumping Colour Super St1rry
• Sexy Motherpucker Lip Plumping Colour What A Melon

Description (As on the box):
Sexy Motherpucker's new powerfill technology formula can fool your lips into looking and feeling fuller, without plastic surgery.

Review:
I personally bought this because of the packaging AND the colours of the lip colours. I really like these shades and you know I just can't resist lip glosses. Especially glossy glossy ones. Heehee. Anyway, the first time I applied these lip glosses, I was really freaked out. It smells like cocoa butter/vanilla and I was really glad I bought these lip colours but after awhile, my lips felt like they were "burning". I thought it was just me but apparently my sister felt that sensation too.  I've tried a Soap 'n' Glory product before-the Body Butter( Can't remember the exact name but it had a light blue package and peach coloured body butter and it's one of my favourite products although I'm not sure whether they still produce that or not. I bought it in Boots Bangkok but when I went back to BKK in Dec 2010,  I couldn't find it anymore. ) I thought the product was faulty or something!

Anyway after a few tries with the lip glosses (I forced myself to use them since I didn't want to waste my $$) and countless re-readings of the box, I realised something. That burning/minty/cool feeling is supposed to happen! It says on the box that it's supposed to fool your lips into looking and feeling fuller without the need of plastic surgery. I tried the lippies again and my lips DO feel fuller and it somehow "makes your brain think that you've got full, lucious and delicious lips."

To me, that's just freaky. I didn't expect to have that 'after-feel' when I tested the colours on my hand. You'll only feel it a few seconds after you've applied the gloss on your lips. I thought the 'burning' sensation would go away later on but it stays there! Another thing I'm not comfortable with is that waxy feel to it. My fingers accidentally smeared the lip colour and it felt quite plastic-y and waxy.

Summary
I don't think this product is worth it. I paid about 720 Baht for it. The burning feeling trying to fool your mind into thinking and making your lips feel fuller, is a mixture of pure genius and sneakiness. Plus, I'm not a big fan of waxy products. The way these lip colours work, it feels almost like your lips are numb. Furthermore, I don't exactly like the smell. Cocoa butter and vanilla, not exactly my favourite scent. I prefer lighter scents like berries and such. Vanilla, cocoa butter, it's too 'heavy' for me. The only things I like about this product now that I've tried it, are the colours/shades of the lippies and the packaging, Soap & Glory's trademark.

Worth it? No. Not for me.


*I'll do a lip swatch with these colours soon. I took a few photos already beforehand but after I transferred them to the computer they were quite blur so I'll upload and do another post later on*
