So a little while ago it was all over the forum about soap and glory at Postie! I'd never heard of it, or even seen it until one day in Postie I noticed this big pink pot and investigated further. The Righteous Body Butter was purchased then and there as I had to know what everyone was raving about. The pot is at least twice the height of the body shop body butters, in a similar style with a screw top lid. The butter is white, thick and delicately scented. I find the floral scent not to be very overpowering. Overnight there is a visible difference in my skin - it appears more smooth and hydrated. I love that it gives a subtle, healthy sheen to skin, not a full on oil slick shine. I find the large pot has lasted for what feels like forever and as much as I hate to admit it, I'm a bit over it and I'm only half way through. Admittedly I am not always religious with my body moisturizer application but I can make that a priority for 2016. It rubs in well and a little goes a long way so I feel like I'll never finish it. It's good value for money compared to other brands because of its size and quality. I'll repurchase when I ever finish the pot, and I've already purchased a few other items from the brand to try. So glad to have been introduced to it through beauty review.

I actually had a chuckle at the name of this brand and the name picked for this body butter. Righteous? I imagined this product looking down condescendingly on other body butters that did not meet it's standards with righteous indignation. But this body butter definitely sets a high bar for anyone who uses it. I was lucky to be able score an almost half kilo tub of this at a bargain. This body butter is thick in the tube but smooths and absorbs into your skin almost instantly but leaves your skin moisturized, smooth and feeling like velvet and lightly fragranced with a light fresh, floral scent. Can it look down on other brands? Oh yes this is righteously superior! I love how this product has a fair amount natural ingredients despite being an affordable brand. It has a lot of shea butter, some cocoa butter, coconut oil and rosehip oil. A lot of body butters moisturize your skin but they feel oily so it's best used at night. This absorbs so fast it's a great moisturizer for any time of day and a bit goes quite a way. I love this! It's great for summer or winter. Despite having a giant tub that I know will last me a long time, I know one day I will run out and I hope Postie sells this brand again so I can repurchase this.
Tips: Best applied when your skin is damp but works just as well on dry skin. If you are looking for a daytime body butter this is it! Great all year round.
This is such a lovely product, I absolutely adore using it. It comes in a cute little pink screw-top tub, and has a beautifully clean and feminine scent. The butter is wonderfully thick so is perfect for very dry skin, but it also smooths on easily and doesn't leave the skin feeling too greasy. I love that it isn't tested on animals, too. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a good body moisturiser, or as a gift for a friend.
I bought this tub at the end of last year when it was heavily mentioned on the forum and available super cheap at postie plus (I unfortunately haven't seen it stocked in there since although I have looked quite a few times). I did try to use this in the summer but I found it was a bit too heavy for my liking with the heat so I put it away until now to use.
This comes in a massive pink pot. It's 450mls so you get a lot of product and it was super cheap as well. Around $10 I think, possibly less as I think I got it with a buy two, get one free deal. The labelling is cute, I feel like even though it's quite wordy, you want to read it.
When you open this, you are immediately hit with a strong, perfumed scent. I think they call this their original scent? I'm not totally sure. I'd describe it as being a mix of fresh and sweet. It's not overly candy sweet but there is definitely a hint there. I think this would appeal to a lot of people as it's not overly obnoxious.
This says it's for dry skin and keeps you hydrated for longer. That is exactly what I'm looking for in any kind of lotion or butter. I feel like this does what it says too, no scaley body for me. I find that although this is thick, it rubs in pretty easily. It does leave me with a slightly sticky feeling straight after but it does go away pretty quickly.
I've used up around half of this tub so far, I'd love to buy it again if I ever saw it for sale. I always live in hope that postie will be stocking it when I go in. I'd recommend picking one up if you ever see it too, especially if you have dry skin and what something thicker than a lotion.
Thanks to recent purchase from Mecca Australia I picked up a few travel sizes Soap and Glory offer, and this was one of them! It was quite a generous sized tub, and it lasted me about 2 weeks which I was stoked with.
I opened the pot and took a deep sniff, and the smell surprised me. It was fruity and delightful! It was also very thick, not unlike the Body Shop butters that I have a love hate relationship with. I used it immediately after my shower and I was pleasantly surprised.
The lotion went a long way for my standard, which was good. The smell went slightly manly on my skin, but I was fine with that. Best of all, I could put my jeans on straight away without having a tantrum as the lotion absorbed really well. The lotion didn't leave a greasy film like TBS ones do, and well, I was just stoked all round. This lotion is great and I'm sad I didn't pick it up when it was available at Postie!
This is one of those scents that takes me to a certain time in my life. I was so excited to find it in Postie Plus one day & re live my trip to France a couple of years ago! The scent is just amazing!
The actual body butter is beautiful on the skin & sinks in really quickly, leaving my skin super moisturized! It doesnt feel greasy like some body butters can.
Tips: Wish this was easier to find in NZ! I found mine at Postie Plus, however havent seen it in there recently.
I'm fussy when it comes to body butters but I know I love one when I've nearly panned it. This body butter is in my top 3 and it's a must-have (the others are Pure Fiji and MOR body butters).
I was gifted a 50ml tub which fits in the palm of my hand so it takes up little space and is easy to travel with. It's a lightweight plastic pink tub that's durable.
You get a whiff of the fragrance when you put the tub to your nose but the true delight is revealed when you work it into the skin. It smells AMAZING!!
The best way I can describe the scent is a blend of the high end perfumes you smell in the air when walking in the fragrance section at Duty Free haha! This scent lingers on my skin until I wash it off.
My skin feels soft and hydrated and doedn't leave any greasy residue behind. I cannot recommend it enough. My main issue is the one thing that may prevent people from buying it but something we're used to in New Zealand and that is accessibilty to the brand. Oh the cruelty of it all.
The only place I can think of is Mecca Cosmetica Australia but it'll be a special order via email.
I love S&G there's nothing about it I don't love the quirky packaging & naming of each product just keeps me wanting more. I got this as a set from Mecca although when Postie plus stocked it I had plenty of opportunities to purchase but I never did. So glad Mecca cosmetica has come to NZ. Firstly this comes in a pink tub and as son as you open the lid your senses are awakened by a scent none like any other but notably S&G. It's a fragrance of citrus & clean. I lather this on its quite thick in texture & absorbs into my skin leaving me feeling moist. The scent can be overpower but thank fully I agree with the scent. The butter leaves my skin feeling smooth hydrated & scented. I'll continue to purchase this butter for thsee purposes.
This body butter has been a favourite amongst the forum beauties. I hummed and harred over it the last time I saw it in Postie (I have a lot of panning I still need to do!) and then of course, it sold out. When I saw it in a gift pack at a big bucket sale, I finally gave in.
I've always admired Soap and Glory's cute vintage style packaging whenever I've seen it on sale overseas. It's comes in a particular pleasing shade of pink! The 50ml plastic tub is easy to open. The first thing that hits you when opening it is the glorious smell. I'm terrible at describing smells so the best I can come up with is that "it smells like expensive perfume". It is quite strong though and I like my body lotions/butters to be in the same scent family as my perfumes. So I find this quite hard to team with a perfume without it completing so tend to use it alone.
Despite being a thick butter, it absorbs almost instantly leaving beautifully soft, silky skin. It appears to have a slight luminosity to it, making the skin look instantly better. And a little goes a long way. I can see myself buying more of this now that it's a bit easier to come by, with Mecca Maxima opening soon in Wellington (just take all my money now....)
Tips: Not just for very dry skin. Even 'normal' skin will love this.
This body butter is amazing! I started using it after I saw a YouTube video about it. It's sad to see the it doesn't sell in many supermarkets/pharmacies here in NZ but I managed to get it off eBay for a good price.
I'm only on my first pot of this product but I Love it to bits! I've used several other body butters from big brands such as Lush and The Body Shop but this beats them all!
The reasons I love it so much is because: - Heals my dry skin and I immediately felt the difference on my legs! - Doesn't leave a sticky/oily feeling - A small amount goes a long way! I've been using the 300ml everyday for nearly a month now (I only use on my legs) and I think I still have another 2-3 months or so to go. - Smells AMAZING - Lasts for the whole day - Leaves skin smooth even after swimming in a pool for 2 hours!
The only problem I have with this product is that it doesn't sell in many NZ retailers but I heard that it sells in Postie Plus from other BR members so I'll be sure to go check it out there and I hope they haven't sold out! :-)
Tips: I use it after my morning shower everyday and it's lasts me for the day!:)
