I learnt my lesson! :)

Whilst shopping at countdown last night, I was on the hunt for a new shower gel. I've never really stuck with the same product for longer than a month. I seen the special card on the top shelf, $3 for this shower gel I had never noticed before. I was interested in smelling it (as I do for everything!) So I reached and grabbed a pink one as I love the colour pink. I smelt it and OH MY GOSH, it was breath-taking. Never before have I smelt something so amazing! I couldn't wait to take it home and give it a try! This morning I had a shower, and the shower gel was amazing! I like how the lid is easy to pop open and close, and I love the design of the bottle altogether! The lather was abit less than what I expected, but I was still very impressed with the product! I don't think I could ever get over the smell, and how good I smell at the moment!

Original Source Shower Gel

The scents of these shower gels is fantastic, super yummy. However, with two people using it, it ran out super quickly and the consistency compared to other gels, I found really odd. Personally, I love the smell, so I would buy again if they were on a multiple special.

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

Original Source Shower Gel

I got the vanilla and raspberry fragrance 250ml on special at countdown for $3. The scent reminds me a lot of the medicine i used to take when i was younger but i can not for the life of me remember the name! i could smell this stuff all day! i have only tried this fragrance and would be happy to buy the others to try them as well, this one bottle lasted around 2 months which i think is good value for my money. I really like the packaging tells you everything you need to know! love that it is packed with natural fragrance and that it is vegan! the lid you can twist so you can get the last of the product out which is handy. I found as it was a runny formula it wasn't very bubbly if you were to rub it all over your body with just your hand, so the best way i found to use it was to put a 50 cent amount on a puff as it was a lot easier to get it to go bubbly that way. The smell lasts on my skin for about 20 minutes then it goes away which is what i like as i like to wear perfume. I wouldn't pay full price, the only thing i didn't like is that it didn't bubble up enough for my liking but it defiantly lives up to the claims of leaving your skin soft and smelling sweet! I would recommend the scent vanilla and raspberry to everyone you wont regret smelling this great!

Smells delish!

My first impression of this was it smelt amazing! I really like the smaller bottle and how easy it is the hold one handed in the shower it's a great shape. I also really like how it's an 'upside down' bottle. The gel itself was a great consistency not too runny, not too thick and foamed up beautifully. Unfortunately for me my skin didn't agree with it, and became quite itchy after using it, so after a few times of using with the same result, I haven't used it again . I gave it to my sister and she is loving it :)

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!

Very strong scent!

The scent of these shower gels is amazingly strong which is great because you don't need to use much at all. I had the lime variety because I love anything lime flavoured or scented. My first impression was that I was washing myself with Lime cordial. The smell of the lime one is very much like that and it was a bit strange at first I have to admit. In terms of a body wash this product does the job and left my skin feeling clean and soft.

Smoothie in a Bottle

Firstly, there is no mistaking how gorgeous these smell. I gave them all the official ‘sniff test’ at my local Countdown before deciding on the vanilla & raspberry scent. If on special it’s only a couple of bucks! It claims to leave your skin soft and smelling sweet and while it’s not super moisturising it hasn’t dried my skin out either. It’s just such a dream to use in the shower because it definitely stimulates your senses and I feel like I’m bathing in a berry smoothie. I was also super impressed by the fact that they’re 100% vegan, they contain no animal products and are tested on humans, not animals. I’ll definitely be back to try another one of their scents soon.

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.

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!
