Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub

I decided to try out some of the products from Target's Soap & Glory brand. I tried out a lip plumper that I didn't like at all, but the Sugar Crush Body Scrub was a different story. I am absolutely 100% impressed AND obsessed with this stuff!

I have to start out by discussing the smell of this scrub; it smells like a Mojito or a Margarita. The best part is it's not overpowering, and you don't smell like a walking cocktail after you've showered. The packaging describes the product as "...smashed brown sugar & sweet lime, almond oil & macadamia grains." Just the name alone is so tantalizing to my senses. I swear I've considered eating this several times, but I'm sure that won't turn out very well! It's a truly delicious scent. If you shy away from heavy fruit or sugar scents I absolutely do not recommend this product!

So, it smells great and does a fantastic job of really exfoliating my skin. There is a slightly sweet smell left on your skin that's very delicate and not overpowering at all. It's a pretty feminine scent, and it leaves my mouth watering.

A couple of problems I encountered with this product: it's best to use in the shower of course, since you need to rinse it off very well. So, water tends to get inside of the jar when you're reaching in and out for product. When this happens, a weird liquid forms in the jar. I try to dump that out after every use.

My second qualm was that the grains are sticky due to the sugar and can stick to your tub. It took me quite a while to get this rinsed down my drain, and I think it may have contributed to recent clogging of my shower drain as well. But, it smells and works so well, I'll deal with that obstacle most definitely. Definitely keep some draino near by for this one!

Overall, it leaves my skin feeling smooth, removes all of my dead and dry skin, moisturizes, leaves a fresh scent on your body, and your whole bathroom smelling like lime, mint and sugar!

I should mention where you can find this product, and of course...COST! To my knowledge, Soap & Glory is only found at Target stores (in the U.S.A.), but are available in other stores like Shopper's Drug Mart in Canada as well as various stores in the U.K.

Soap & Glory isn't very cheap. Its vintage packaging and bright pink display in the makeup section of Target make the skincare line extremely attractive and unique. The Target website is currently selling this product for $16.99. However, I'm tempted to say that I paid $18.99 at my local Target store.

I won't say that a "little goes a long way" for this product, because I sure haven't been abiding by that rule. I've been really loading this stuff onto my body because I am just so absolutely in love with the fabulous scent. But, I'm sure used sparingly it works just as well.

I highly recommend this product if you have access to it. Currently, shopping on the Soap & Glory website is unavailable, but will be available soon. So, keep an eye out!
