Anyway, now that summer has finally come, it is time to get
the body into summer shape. Here are my thoughts on the *Dirty Works Glow Girl Buttery Salt Scrub and
Supreme Cream Body Butter;
What They Say:
Buttery Salt Scrub: "Summer is upon us so it is time to work
on your weekly beauty routine to get the blood circulating and the skin
glowing! The new Buttery Salt Scrub from Dirty Works is the perfect summer
regime and a wonder product to remove all the dry skin that we always worry
about in summer. Get to work and bring some health and life to your skin! Step
in the shower, damp yourself down, then scoop out a generous handful to
envelope your body. Using circular motions start with your feet and work up –
the little pumice particles will do most of the work for you, gently removing
all surface dead skin so the glow can shine through!"
Supreme Cream Body Butter: "Follow with lashings of Supreme
Cream Body Butter for the ultimate moisture makeover. Too much is never enough!
Super spreadable, this body butter contains softening Shea Butter and Sweet
Almond Oil to leave the skin super soft and utterly divine!"
RRP: The new Buttery Salt Scrub or Supreme Cream Body Butter
($9.95 each/300ml) – Available from
Coles
What I Say:
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of the brand Dirty
Works, and as consequently I always do a quick research into the brand. I
discovered that it is a UK brand, established in 2010. The brand was created as
the people at “Dirty Works
Kingdom suffered from dull, drab and dreary lives.They longed to create glamorous products that would transform their existence from tedious to tremendous, dingy to dazzling and boring to brilliant!” And so Dirty Works was born.
The brand has just launched into Australia, with currently
seven products available all for sale at Coles, although more products are set
to launch in the near future.
The first thing that I took to was the gorgeous light blue
retro looking tubs.
The Buttery Salt Scrub has the added title Glow Girl, and a
black and white 60’ies image of a girl in a swim suit with the words Kiss
goodbye to dry skin.
The scrub has the consistency of a moisturiser, but with the
added scrubbing particles made from peach kernel shells, and it feels gentle on
the skin.
I use it in the shower while my skin is damp, and a few
small scoops with my hands is more than enough to give my whole body a good
scrub. Afterwards it is easy to rinse off my skin, and I can instantly feel
that my skin is left soft and smooth – perfect for using before shaving to
avoid ingrown hairs or to use before a self-tanner for a more even tanned look.
The scrub has a lovely gently fruity scent, which lingers a
little on my skin after washing if off.
I always moisturise my skin after a shower, so in spite of
the scrub leaving my skin soft, I follow with the Supreme Cream Body Butter.
It contains among others shea butter and sweet almond oil, both of which are known for their moisturising properties. The Supreme Cream Body Butter claims to leave the skin
feeling 'Super Soft'.
Most body butters are very thick in consistency, but this
one from Dirty Works is very light, only a smidge thicker than a moisturiser.
It absorbs quickly into the skin, and as promised by Dirty Works, the Body
Butter leaves the skin feeling ‘Super Soft’ and moisturised and with a nice
sheen, and without leaving the skin feeling greasy or sticky. In fact, I have
also been using it on my hands, and I haven’t needed to worry about leaving any
greasy finger prints anywhere!
It has a lovely sweet scent, no doubt coming from the almond
oil, and I really like this scent as it is a pleasant scent, which is far from
too sweet or sickly, so I also like that this scent liners around on my skin
for quite some time.
The body butter is very concentrated, so the large 300ml tub
will last you quite, I have been using this for a couple of weeks now, and the
tub is still well over half full.
What I Like:
- Both the scrub and the body butter have the most amazing scents
- They are very well priced, and come in large tubs
- They are both very concentrated
- They are very efficient, and do what they promise
- Conveniently available from the supermarket
What I Don’t Like:
- There isn’t really any negative to say about these new products from Dirty Works, they are gorgeous and efficient products, and at those prices you really can’t go wrong!
Overall, these are amazing products, and at just $9.95 each
for large tubs of 300ml, these are absolute bargain products, and you can
conveniently pick them up when you’re doing your grocery shopping! I will
definitely be buying these again when I run out, and check out the rest of the
product range too - At these prices you can afford to!

The way these look remind me a little of the Soap and Glory products! I'm really pleased to hear that you can get these from Coles. Thanks for the review x
