Before leaving for Vegas, I picked up Soap & Glory’s Scrub Triangle Mini Gift Set ($10) from Target.
I went into the store for kitty litter but left with Soap & Glory, LOL! Soap, Glory & Kitty Litter…
The three travel-friendly products in the set are targeted toward people with dry skin and come packaged in cute little vintage tubs and bottles.
Here’s what you get
- Clean on Me Body Wash: Soap and Glory says it’s like a cleansing lotion. I’ve even used it as a shave cream, and it works great.
- Flake Away: A body exfoliator containing sea salt, it leaves my skin smooth and moisturized.
- The Righteous Butter: Shea-mm on you! A rich body lotion containing shea butter and aloe to quench thirsty skin.
These have been great out here in Vegas where the climate’s drier than … well, the desert. They’ve kept the skin on my arms, legs and hands (and the heels of my feet) from painfully tightening up.
Pros
- Highly moisturizing
- Generous sample sizes, so you can try before you buy
- $10 for the whole set
Cons
- Heavy scent (jasmine, citrus, apples and more, but I find it a little overwhelming)
- I’d prefer tubes (easier to travel with and more sanitary than fingers in jars)
- I can feel it on my skin (leaves a film)
You might like it if…
- You’re heading somewhere with a dry climate
- You have naturally dry skin
- You’re on a budget
I like the quality considering the price. For $10, I think the set’s a great deal. Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: B+
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.S. I’m chugging along here on Blog World: Day 2. A session on YouTube just finished. They mentioned a cool site called incompetech.com where you can find royalty-free music to use in videos. How cool! I can’t wait to give it a try.
Now I’m heading back to the hotel for a few games of Kitty Glitter. 🙂
That sounds like a pretty good buy for only $10.00. The same store as both beauty items and kitty litter? What a store! LOL.

I totally agree about the smell… it lingers all day and is way too strong for my sensitive nose!
Well it’s only 10$ for all the set so…they are not so pro products. I usually don’t like when products like creams, gel and exfoliants have a heavy scent:(

That game is made for you!
Karen,
I agree with the review. I do wish they’d turn the fragrance down just a notch. It smells delish but after awhile it’s a bit overwhelming. I recently bought the Sonia Kashuk pink makeup brush set that benefit’s breast cancer awareness. VERY nice set and as always nicely priced. Have you seen it at tar-jay?
Did you win big?

I always find cheap lotions to be penny wise pound foolish. they usually sit on top of your skin and don’t actually get the moisture in there!

I might check this out…I have been wanting to try out Soap & Glory for awhile now. Any other products you can recommend by the brand?

I’ve been tempted to buy these every time I go to Target just because of the cute packaging… same story with benefit, LOL! I think give it a try – even if it’s not perfect, it looks like it’s pretty good for $10!

Did you notice that the products smell like Miss Dior Cherie EDP? That is one of my favourite fragrances and when I saw this product, I thought it was the perfect affordable substitute for Miss Dior Cherie.
