Yum.. to smell!

Oh wow these are sooo nice! They really do smell like what they say they do. I've tried the lemon & tea tree, lavender & tea tree, and the mint chocolate one. I was pretty convinced the mint chocolate was for my tummy it smells sooo good! But it tastes a little salty haha! So No.. they are definitely for washing yourself in the shower! These are a nice thickish consistency, they lather up nicely, and can be made to last a long time when used with one of those shower pouf thingys. My husband loves these too, he's usually pretty fussy about gels smelling refreshing, so these are great for the whole family. I didn't find them overly drying or irritating at all, but I'm not that easily irritated by shower gels. The bottles are pretty good, they are clear so you can see what's left, and the opening is on the bottom which means you can get the very last of it out easily. They are also easy to open and close with wet hands. They also look nice & colourful sitting on the tub. So if your fed up with fake smelling 'goodies' then these are definitely worth a try, they have a very genuine scent indeed :)

Tips: Don't taste the mint chocolate one! I already did that for you lol! its salty!

Love these Shower Gels !

An absolute delight to the senses when showering with these ! They lather up nicely and don't dry your skin out, and smell delicious enough to eat. I appreciate the basic packaging, it's a refreshing change. And the square lid makes it easy to use every last bit - because you will want to !

Tips: I keep a bottle in my gym bag for use after a workout, Usually the lime one. Great way to get feeling clean and sassy again when you're all sweaty and exhausted after a work out. Delightful stuff :)

Original Source Shower Gel - Chocolate and Mint

LOVE this shower gel. By far my favourite shower gel I have used so far will defianly be repurchasing as these are so many other flavours i would be keen to try.

The Chocolate Mint smells so yummy I want to eat it. Smells so devine I can smell it on my skin after I have had a shower. My skin smells so clean and fresh. these all are made a from natural ingredients.

I'm also a sucker for funky unique packaging love the shape of the bottle and the fonts used. Would highly recommend these.

Tips: I got mine at Coundown for like $3.00 so crazy affordable mines has lasted well over a month.

Yummy smell, not too strong

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.

I will eat it one day. ... maybe

OMG I have never been more in love and attracted to a beauty product scent before in my life. I'm talking about the Raspberry and vanilla scented body wash. I can't even begin to describe what it smells like. It's fruity and sweet. Like a dessert store. Smells like strawberry panna cotta! The entire shower fills up with the smell, and I am in heaven. Sadly, the scent is not as prominent or long lasting when you're out of the shower all nice and dry *sad face.* I still smell it, but I'm no longer in a dessert store.

It's a light, fluffy, whipped consistency. With just a squirt the size of a 20 cent piece, I can run my sponge over my entire body twice, so it will definitely last you a long time. It foams up really nice, and makes skin super super soft !

I love that the bottle is clear so you can see when it is coming to the end, and when you need to start restocking. But a tiny thing that bothers me is that the head, like about 3cm is empty! I NEED AS MUCH OF THIS PRODUCT POSSIBLE you don't understand! Why is some missing! It's a really convenient design to the bottle. The bottle opens from the bottom end, so when it is near the end, you don't have to hold it upside down for minutes to get the product to the bottom! It has a nice thin end, which makes it really easy to grab as well.

I do like to buy a different body wash each time, but honestly, I think I'm gonna stick with this one from now on.

Original Source Shower Gel

As is my way, got this on special at Countdown for just over $2.00 which is ridiculously cheap for a nice body wash. I got the Shea Butter and Honey which sounded yummy, and it does smell nice. It is a creamy formula, lathers well and leaves skin soft and hydrated. The packaging is attractive, a triangle shaped bottle larger at the bottom with a flip top, easy to stand in the shower. The amount is smaller than some other body washes, 250ml, but for the inexpensive price is worth it. Cruelty-free, does contain the natural ingredients of Shea Butter and Honey, but the other ingredients are not entirely natural. Made in the U.K. I probably wouldn't buy it again for myself as I am trying to buy NZ made products and soap free, but would give as a gift to friends in a beauty pack.

Tips: Do not get into your eyes. I doesn't say soap-free so be aware of that if your skin is sensitive to soap.

Vanilla and Raspberry

I picked this up on special at Countdown, took a cheeky sniff test and chucked it in my trolley. These are priced really cheaply so I didn't have hugely high expectations. The scent is absolutely delicious, to me it smells like the Rose's chocolates with the strawberry filling (it smells more like strawberry than raspberry to me). It is sweet smelling but not in a sickly way that you are put off by after a few uses. It is quite a runny formulation, which in my opinion would be better suited to a pump top bottle than the current design- I always lose some product to the floor as it drips out of the bottle quite rapidly. Another reason I am not giving this 5 lippies is because it doesn't have a very generous lather, which means I end up using twice the amount of product. This does leave my skin feeling quite soft and hydrated, and I also absolutely love how this is not tested on animals. This is definitely one I'd repurchase because of the scent and the fantastic price. I would prefer a slightly thicker and foamier formulation however.

Sweet and cheap

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 :)

Tips: The scents are really distinctive so smell before you buy!

Use a pouf to get more mileage out of the shower gel once it's dispensed.

Careful for the Nethers

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.
