I bought the vanilla/raspberry one of these and it smells so good! You'll want to eat it! I've been using the bottle for about a month so it's lasted a while. It's also more moisturising than some shower gels I've tried in the past so I generally don't need to worry about moisturising after my shower.

Tips: If you have very dry skin you'll need to moisturise afterward, but otherwise it's pretty moisturising.
I purchased the honey and shea butter product.
it's so great, it smells amazing- not overpowering but sweet enough to make you notice it lathers up really nicely and spreads well. this particular one is brown coloured which reminds me of brown sugar. I liked that the packaging was unisex and wasn't marketed towards one gender, the fonts used are appealing. I wish this was more nourishing for your skin, my skin isn't dry but doesn't feel silky soft.
The texture is weird, it "plops" out which isn't so appealing.
Tips: use sparingly lasts a long time!
I bought this in the 'Pink Grapefruit' variety as I love this scent in other brands. The smell of this is not as strong as others I have tried but it is a pleasant fresh scent - not too sweet and quite invigorating. These are great for waking you up in the morning! Think I will try the lime one next.
Update: I have tried the lime one and I loved it! The scent is delicious but not too strong - you don't really notice it on your skin. I like how the body wash drains to the lid so none is wasted. The only downside is I go through it so quickly as it's only 250ml! I will definitely buy this again.
After all the raving and excitement about these little guys hitting Countdown, I just had to get in and see what all the madness was about and boy am I glad I did!
I picked up the flavour vanilla and strawberry because I just felt eating it in the supermarket. Its package in a 250ml squeeze bottle and unmissable when you're in the supermarket. Just head to aisle you want to eat ;)
The gel is thick, creamy, oh so smooth and a tiny amount on a shower sponge really goes a long way. Just a tiny amount (one decent squeeze) will lather your entire body and then still some left over for round 2.
Now that its winter, I really neglect my skin with body lotions etc because jumping into the pjs with as few chills possible is the top priority. This gel has some lovely nourishing effects because my skin isnt screaming of dryness (not yet though) and I feel well pampered after using this shower gel. I'm not someone that is big into fruity smells and this gel just about ticks the "amazing smell" box for me because eventhough its an intense smell, its not overwhelming and sickly sweet like some gels can get.
The best and most important part of this gel? Your husband will stay clear of it in fear of smelling too girly! Yes! That means no sharing this gel for me and now it gets to last as long as I want to.
I definitely recommend this to people wanting try something with a more exotic flavour and not wanting to share bathroom treats with their partners ;)
Tips: Just 1 decent squeeze is all you need and you'll be lathered galore. You a shower sponge to a get an even spread of the gel.
I found these at countdown on sale two for six dollars, months ago. I liked the way the packaging looked; the bottles sit upside down in the shower so the product is easy to get out. Flip the lid and off you go. I have dropped these bottles a number of times and nothing has broken so the packaging is also pretty sturdy. I also liked the size of the product. The bottle doesn't take up a huge amount of room in the shower. The consistency of the gel is great, not runny, not thick. You don't need much to get a good lather. The best thing about these gels is the scents, they are gorgeous. From the chocolate and mint scent (which I have just finished another bottle) to the vanilla and strawberry these are divine. These are now my go to shower gel and Countdown often has them on special. However they are good value for money regardless.
Tips: Hide these from your partner if you want them to last longer.
but the lavender smells a little too strong for my liking. other wise pretty good product makes me feel refreshed after using
IT SMELLS LIKE RASPBERRY AND VANILLA LOLLIPOPS! I LOVE THE SMELL AND THE FEEL MAKING MY SKIN FEEL SOFT. i have sensitive skin so using this doesn't irritate or annoy thank god. tbch the only reason i purchased was because of the smell :P opps totally worth it x
When I first tried the mint and tea tree I wasn't so sure as it smells like toothpaste but then I grew to love it and so has my husband. I am instructed to go buy more.
Tips: Buy more than one.
I noticed this product on the shelf last week and feeling a bit strapped for cash ( I usually go for the Lux) I decided to opt for this product and give it a go since it was on special for $2.50 instead of the $6.20 for the other stuff. Unfortunately after a weeks use its almost all gone. I chose the shea butter and honey, and while it smells good its not very good at cleaning. It didn't seem to lather up and was quite runny so just seemed to run out of my hands before I could even use (which is probably why it hasn't lasted long at all!). Overall quite average and I think I'll just spend that bit extra on my usual stuff!
Origional source shower gel can be found at most Countdown stores. It's easy to find at your supermarket in the body wash section.
Packaging comes in this triangular bottle that's easy to open and close. The bottle sits on itself. You get about 20o mls per bottle. I think it's quite small for $4.39 as you can easily get 400ml bottles in the same price bracket.
Consistency of this product is your normal body wash liquid. The one I chose was a Raspberry one. It was a pale pink colour.
Application of this product , I put a dollop of body wash on my body puff. I felt it didn't lather or foam very well. It had a milky texture to it. Smelled like Raspberries which I love scented products.
My results are mixed love this funky packaging. Just didn't lather on my bottle well which meant I had to use more product. Don't think I will be using this again any time soon.
