Been Obsessed With Peppermint For A While

I found these today when looking for make up remover for $2.50 a bottle in Countdown. Now I've been looking for a good Peppermint body wash ever since I started using a body scrub by another brand that really hasn't had that kind of lingering smell. And ohmygoodness does the mint and Tea Tree one smell AMAZING. The smell lingers which I absolutely adore and I think it's perfect for Christmas time! The Mandarin and Basil one is also super appealing.

Tips: Go and grab one from Countdown while this sale is on! $2.50 a bottle!

THE BEST!

I love this shower gel, for one main reason. It smells delicious! My personal favourite is the mint and tea tree shower gel, it kind of tingles your skin as you wash, not to mention it smells amazing. It doesn't dry my skin out like other soaps and body washes do, and I love that the bottle has the lid on the bottom, so it's easier to get that last little bit of product out. If you are thinking of buying this product, I have two words for you. GET IT!!

Smells like candy *drooling*

I bought this shower gel in the scent Vanilla and Raspberry for $2.50 at Countdown when it was on special. For $1 per 100ml, this was a bargain.

The first thing that drew me to this on the shelves was the pink on pink. The writing is pink, the gel is pink. I love pink! The second thing was the huge 'On Sale' sticker in front of it. I popped the lid and had a whiff, and OH. MY. GOSH. Is this what heaven smells like!? "Mum! MUM!!" (I'm shouting at her from an aisle over) "Oh my god you gotta smell this" I make her smell it. She's not as hooked as I am. I smell the other smells (actually managing to get it on my nose) but its too late, I have this bottle in my eyes (like heart eyes or dollar sign eyes). I buy it.

I cannot believe this is a natural fragrance, and not with all the chemicals added to get this smell. The only time I have smelled anything remotely as sugary and delicious as this, is when I get a bag of pick 'n' mix candy from New World, and they have soft candy hearts that smell EXACTLY like this. I cant even tell you which is more prominent, the vanilla or the raspberry. It's a tie, a perfect, delicious mix of the two.

The lid snaps open and shut easily, and it doesn't leak as it sits on its head. The product comes out easily, if not a little rugged, but it softens and smooths itself out and looks absolutely divine. The only problem I have is I think the lather could be bigger, but that's a minor issue with something that smells this damn good.

The gel, once rinsed off and you are dry, isn't drying, my skin actually looks good before I put on a moisturizer (something that rarely happens). I have also discovered that the lingering smell once showered isn't as potent as I would like, I can't smell it right now and I used it at 7:30 this morning (this time of day does exist, whaaat!?), so that's unfortunate, but I can forgive.

It took 82 sunrises to help make this shower gel, and I am grateful for every one of them!

Great smelling

Wow!! When I first saw these at the supermarket I thought it can't really smell that good can it? (chocolate and mint) I mean really a chocolate smelling shower gel? It looks like melted chocolate in a bottle and then I lifted the cap to take a whiff and I just wanted to eat it. It honestly smells like a mint slice biscuit. Even on your skin after you have been long dried you still smell like a yummy wee after dinner mint. I just wished it came in a bigger bottle as it doesn't last very long (250ml bottle) but it is a great bottle with the squirty cap on the bottom of the bottle so you can get every last drop out of it. It isn't a really thick gel or a runny gel just the perfect consistency. Definitely worth buying

Tips: Try them all they smell so good

How.

I have no idea how they get so much delicious smell into one little bottle of shower gel! I picked up a bottle after reading the reviews on BR and was converted, and convinced my boyfriend to grab one too. I love that they are responsible producers who consider environmental impact and ethical trading. The packaging is simple and easy to use, and has a nice minimalist look. The product itself is lovely, it lathers up a reasonable amount and is quite thick so you don't need a lot.The smell does linger on your skin a little after you use it which I love because it's so delicious. The bottles aren't huge, but for the price I think they last a fair time. Honestly there's not that much to say about this product, because it's one you have to smell for yourself to understand the hype! I will be trying the entire range, it'll take a lot to get me to stop buying this!

amazing smell!

I purchased this remarkable shower gel in Lime and err ma gahd! the smell is amazing! Underscore the 'zing'. It claims to have 40 limes in each bottle and I believe them. Zingy, fruity, fresh smells that wakes me up and starts my day off to an invigorating start. The smell reminds me of Lime Popsicles. Great lasting suds, this bright green liquid also washes my whole body with just a couple of squirts. I bought it for $1.79 from Park 'n' Save, so luckily grabbed a couple of bottles. My new morning fav.

Original Source Shower Gel

These are the perfect shower gels - a great range of yummy smelling scents, the ability to be used by both sexes, affordable, and easily accessible as they’re sold at the supermarket. The consistency is not too runny, and each one I tried lathered up nicely. They aren’t overly moisturising, but don’t claim to be, so that’s not an issue. The scents are awesome - I’ve just finished the lemon and tea tree wash, and it smelled like sweet lemon pie without being overly sickly - I still liked the scent when I reached the end of the bottle, which doesn't happen with every product! The mint one had the advantage of leaving my skin tingly, so it was perfect for early morning starts. There is definitely one in the range that will suit everyone, and since they are so cheap, it’s worth having a few on rotation to suit different moods and seasons. The only thing that would make this better would be if the scent lingered on my skin longer - and also if they made the range in bigger bottles!

Original Mint source body wash

I love this, and I normally pick it up on special at the supermarket. I have tried the pink grapefruit, choc mint and mint and tea tree options. Yes they smell as they should taste but I don’t recommend eating them.

For easy dispensing the cap is at the bottom, even though it is a hard plastic to squeeze this makes it easier. The clear packaging makes it easy to tell how much is left. They ones I have had are non exfoliating but that means you can use it in a foot spa machine or as bubble bath instead on occasion. The foaming is decent if you use a loofah to spread around your body and the mint makes you feel clean when using it, I compare it with brushing my teeth, clean minty feeling. I find the mint very energizing for first thing in the morning so I use it as a bit of a wake up. The mint smell does not stay around all day, I find it hangs around for about an hour or so but it is still enough to get me going. The mint in the choc mint is not as powerful in smell as the mint and tea tree. Pink grapefruit is a definite grapefruit smell.

This is a vegan friendly product with the only animals that is it tested on is humans. They occasionally put out the limited editions which includes the choc mint and the pink grapefruit, you can tell these as they have a “Limited Edition” like stamp on them. This is a definite repurchase. If they every started doing these as a shampoo and conditioner in the mint and tea tree again, I will be there buying them up.

Tips: It pops up on special on a regular basis

Amazingly strong scent!

These scents are absolutely amazing. A complete and utter experience in the shower! So far I've tried Vanilla & Raspberry, Mint & Tea Tree, and Lemon & Tea Tree.

I have to say that the Vanilla & Raspberry one has been my favourite, since it was so sweet and delicious! I wanted to eat it. The lemon is my least favourite, but if you love lemon you'll be fine.

I find that the scents don't stay on after the shower, which personally disappoints me, but others may prefer that.

If you love strong scents, you'll love these products regardless of what one you choose. However, if you prefer subtle scents stay away!

Tips: I apply about a teaspoon or two to a loofa and add a bit of water before lathering. It easily covers all of me!

Smells delicious

I have been using the Raspberry and Vanilla one, OMG the smell is amazing, it smells like icecream and makes you want to eat it. The smell doesn't last long after you get out of the shower tho, which is a bit of a shame and I would prefer it lasted a bit longer. The price was pretty good, I do find you need a bit more than other shower gels tho as it doesn't lather up as much. I have been using it about a month and the bottle is nearly empty. However as it only cost around $4 I would definitely buy again
