Soap and Glory Scrub Actually Review

Hello,
Carrying on with my series of reviews, today I have a review of my favourite body scrub; Scrub Actually by Soap and Glory.
Scrub Actually is quite an abrasive scrub with a sugar base which means its nice and scrubby without the annoying bits of sand or nuts that you find in some scrubs that get left lying all over the place. When using this scrub in the bath or shower its nice to know that you wont end up surrounded by grit after exfoliating.
Soap and Glory products have a very distinctive smell throughout the range so I was surprised when I first smelt this and it didn't share the same scent. Instead, the smell reminds me a lot of strawberry and passionfruit flavoured starburst (do they even still make that flavour?! They were amazing!)
I don't find the smell is particularly long lasting on the skin, maybe a few hours, but if you were to use it in the evening before going out then you'd smell pretty for your night out. Also along that note, this is a great scrub to use before self tanning because it is excellent for making knees, elbows and other dry, tricky bits nice and soft.
Over all, I would say that this is an all round good scrub that smells amazing, works well and lasts a nice long time.
For £7.00 you get 200ml of product which despite not being overly cheap, is fairly reasonable I think for what you get. I've been using my tube for a few months now and theres still around half left because not a lot is needed each time.
Have you tried this scrub? I've heard great things about the Breakfast Scrub too, would you recommend that one?
Unrelated, today was payday so I treated myself to some payday treats from the sales so I have a pretty impressive haul to show you over the weekend :)

    I haven't used the scrub before but may be tempted now after your review. I have used the Easy Glistening spray which is beautiful and I love the smell too. I wonder why the smell throughout the range isn't the same for the scrub? Bit weird I would have thought seeing as it is a brand. May be treating myself to some of the scrub next week when it's payday. Thanks for the review.

      I thought it was strange that it smells different too. We also have a tub of Foam Call in the bathroom which is a bath/shower foam and that smells different again so maybe its just to spice things up a bit haha. I hven't heard much about the Esy Glistening spry before, I'll have to check it out :) xx

    I love the soap & Glory flake away scrub but I've never tried this one before. I have the breakfast scrub to use next as well :) x

      I've always been a bit put off the Flake Away scrub because of the description. All the talk of flaking and reptilian legs makes me feel little queasy but I've heard its amazing. I really want to try the breakfast scrub next too :) xx

    I've tried the Flake Away, and I really wouldn't recommend it! Maybe it's just me, but it leaves your skin soo greasy and gross feeling! The Breakfast Scrub is a totally different matter though, lovely product! :) xx

      Hearing everyone say how good The Breakfast Scrub is has persuaded me I NEED to buy some when I run out of Scrub Actually :) xx
