#OnMyVanity: Soap & Glory’s Sugar Crush 3-In-1 Creamy Body Wash

I receive a slew of samples, and when I find something I like, I can’t wait to tell you all about it!

Disclosure: I received a sample of this from the brand for consideration, but the opinions are all my own.

I might be very detailed about my skincare routine, but shaving is another story. I usually skip it in the winter to help keep me warm (jk) since who’s going to see my leg hair under layers of leggings, tights, and trousers? I just don’t feel like it’s spring until I feel the silky softness of my freshly shaven legs. (I consider it summer already since it’s been hot enough to need shorts.)

But razors are only half the battle though as what you use to score some slip can determine how much hair you actually take off as well as how your skin will look and feel after a razor’s run over it. I’m pretty low-maintenance most of the time, using a bar of soap to smooth over my stems and slathering on loads of body cream as soon as I step out of the show to compensate for moisture loss. But it wasn’t until this winter that I started re-thinking my shaving routine for the season ahead.

Soap & Glory Offers #MoreThanLips Service By Helping Women Run for Office

A post shared by Soap & Glory USA (@soapandgloryusa) on Feb 22, 2018 at 11:04am PST

While nothing can make you look perfectly polished in an instant like a bold lip, Soap & Glory is putting its money where its mouth is by doanting $20,000 to help others around the country raise their voices for change and help level the playing field when it comes to public policy. And the best thing is that you can lend a ~~hand~~ pout too!

The brand known for its fresh and fun bath and body buys (all wrapped in pretty pink and vintage beauty photos, of course) wants you to lift others up with a little bit of lip service. All you have to do is share a post on Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #MoreThanLips, and Soap & Glory will donate $5 on your behalf (up to $20,000) to She Should Run, a national organization working to increase the number of women running for elected office to 250,000 by 2030.

The campaign is meant to remind women everywhere that whatever their shade of gloss, they can, and should, always share their voice, especially during a time when there is a dire need for the varied perspectives and experiences that women — across many different backgrounds — can bring to leadership. According to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, women only make up about 19.8% of the seats in Congress, including 22.0% of the Senate and 19.3% in the House of representatives. As for local state legislatures, women currently hold 22.6% of state senate seats and 26.3% state house or assembly seats, making up 25.3% of the 7,383 state legislators in the United States. But there’s still plenty of work to do in order to create a more effective and representative government.

To really get the conversation going, the brand created a private video booth during the LA Women’s March where participants could share what makes them feel powerful, releasing the clip on Thursday. Women from all walks of life, including those who have experienced homelessness, addiction, domestic abuse, chronic illness, and more, shared their stories of triumph over tribulation with one concluding, “I am pretty badass.” Because those that have something powerful to say are pretty badass.

Soap & Glory’s Ups It Spa-Worthy Supply of Beauty Buys

A post shared by Soap & Glory USA (@soapandgloryusa) on Jan 24, 2018 at 3:01pm PST

When it comes to self-care (which I think we all need more of), sometimes all it takes to soothe yourself is a spa-worthy shower or a super indulgent soak in the tub. Soap & Glory is enhancing the experience with a stockpile of bubbling bath and beauty buys — complete with punny names you won’t get enough of — that won’t break the bank. In fact, the bubbles kept popping up Wednesday night as editors were treated to a first look at all of the upcoming products with a fresh array of fizzy cocktails, a shower outfitted with a bubble machine, a few faucets that dispensed a mix of seltzer and champagne (really refreshing!), and a cute clawfoot tub that I couldn’t help but slip into myself.
