Original Source Shower Gel

I tried Original Source Shower Gel after finding it on special for $.249, and reading a lot of positives about it on BR. I actually had more than enough shower gel at the time, but was in one of those moods.

I have this product in Vanilla and Raspberry; two of my favourite scents combined :)

These shower gels come in sturdy plastic bottles. They are of a good size - not so big that you get sick of the scent before you're done, but big enough for a day to day shower staple that lasts a good few weeks.

The bottle has a kind of industrial look to it, which is at odds with the baby pink gel inside, but still seems to work somehow.

The soft pink creamy gel is on the thinner side, and you need a good handful to get your whole body clean, but it's so cheap that this doesn't worry me. The scent of this one is very sweet, but I do get both vanilla and raspberry from it - to me it smells like a berry smoothie or berry icecream. It's sweet and girly, but stops short of being overpowering as the scent doesn't really cling to skin.

My skin is left neutral after this - it's not hydrating or drying, merely a creamy cleanser.

I would definitely buy another of these if I was in need of shower gel at the supermarket, but it's not one I'll rave over :)

If you’re in search of a fun, innovative bodywash company, look no further than Original Source. Their products consistently amaze me, as they offer a wide range of original and refreshing scents that you cannot find easily with other brands. I love how most of the scents from their range are made from 100% natural ingredients, too. I always feel that naturally-derived scents smell a lot better and last for a lot longer, which is certainly the case for this product. I am thrilled with this product and would definitely use it again. The only negative thing I would say about this product, is that I had a bad experience as a teenager with the peppermint scented body wash. I won't go into detail but it involved accidentally getting some of the products in my nether region, which burned a lot. I would avoid this product if you are particularly sensitive in those areas - or, at least, that specific scent. It was refreshing, almost like using deep heat on the skin, but it burned in the wrong places. The other scents though, I couldn't recommend enough. I was thrilled to use them and would absolutely use them again.

I like these body washes, they aren’t my favourite mostly because you get such little in the bottle and run out quickly with a large family especially! :) but they do smell nice and are moisturising. I love how affordable they are still here in New Zealand, I just wish they came in a larger bottle with a pump.

My mum brought this for my family in the lime scent. It smells absolutely amazing but the scent doesn't linger. It is also hard to shave using this but for 5 bucks its pretty good.

I love these, chocolate and mint, and tea tree and mint, and shea butter and honey are my favourites. They smell amazing and make your skin so soft, the bottles last ages and very fairly priced.

I found these in the supermarket while I was doing my usual grocery shop. I always love looking at the new body products. I saw these and I knew that I just had to try the choc&mint; one. I love that combo for food so thought it would be cool to see what it was like as a bodywash.

Well it smells so good, a really fresh chocolaty smell. It lathers up really well and made me feel really clean.

I think the packaging is quite cute and stands out from the other brands. The price is pretty good, I think I sometimes see these for about $3. The other scents sound fab as well, I would like to give the lavender one a go sometime soon.

I was lucky to get these on special in Countdown and must say for the cheap price, they are really good. My favourite ones are the Lavender and Tea Tree, wow, amazing smell and makes my skin feel soooo good, and chocolate and mint, super yummy and also makes my skin feel really good. Will definitely be buying others in this range when these are all gone.

I love all of the scents of Original Source body wash! (For me, this is very rare). I love how this product is all natural products at an excellent price and it lasts a very long time! (especially if you use a loofah!) My favourite scent will have to be the Mint & Tea tree!

I don't get to enjoy coffee as a booster in the morning due to intolerance for caffeine, but using the peppermint shower gel I don't need anything else. Its packed with mint so much so that it wakes you up instantly in a nice way, I adore the mint smell that seems to be a nice backdrop on my skin for the majority of the day which is great for feeling fresh. Using on a body puff this shower gel can last a few weeks even if used every day as its so concentrated a little goes a long way. It doesn't dry my skin, or aggravate it. This is a must for morning showers!

I've only used the mint (with teatree, if I remember correctly) one, but I really liked it. It was super fresh and minty smelling, and definitely a good one to use in the morning to wake me up! My only annoyance is that the bottle is a bit of an awkward shape and (at least mine) was a bit prone to leaking due to the lid being at the bottom. But I can overlook that given that this was such a fun bodywash.
