Original Source Shower Gel

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.

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 :)

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.

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 :)

I love this body wash as it smells so refreshing and has a cooling effect that makes me feel really clean. The scent however, doesn't last very long, disappearing almost immediately after you leave the shower. It generates a pretty good lather too with a shower pouf. Sometimes if my hair is particulately greasy, I used this as a pre-wash to strip it of the dirt and grease that my other more nourishing (e.g. macadamia oil shampoo) won't be able to completely cleanse.

I think the antibacterial tea tree oil could potentially be good for back acne and I noticed there's lactic acid in the ingredients. I'm wondering if long-term use will help in preventing KP.

That said, slather on some moisturiser after as it could be drying.

I will repurchase as it's cheap and good.

I picked up the Vanilla and Raspberry flavour and it really is one of the best smelling shower gels I have ever smelled. It washes okay, and leaves my skin feeling soft, but I find that the smell doesn't linger on me for very long after the shower.

The prices are very affordable, and like I said above, it leaves my skin feeling soft, silky and refreshed!

It's kind of a love/hate kinda thing with me. I'm a massive smell person, I'm always smelling things and this smells SO DAMN GOOD. But it just doesn't stay on me for a very long time, unfortunately!

I've also had a sniff of the other flavours in the supermarket and alot of them do smell divine! So I may pick up another flavour in the future.

I'll be fair. It's a great smell. All of them. My favourite being the mint. But it's just not enough bubble for me. The bottle is a bit small for the price and it just doesn't last long. Even on special I still don't grab at it. It is one I do like to use if I can't find what I need at the time just because of the strong amazing smells. But it's not enough foam for the little amount of product you get. To me.. bubbles are everything.

Good selection of scents and genuinely good value for money. I probably wouldn't recommend washing certain areas with it however as It gives off a burning sensation. Also confirmed by my partner haha!

I got my daughter the chocolate and mint for her Christmas stocking. She loves the smell and for the price you can't really go wrong. Love that it is at such a good price that I don't mind her using more then she needs to as kids tend to do.

These body washes are super cheap which is good and they smell SOOOO good initially but post shower the scent fades promptly. The bottles aren't too big either so if your in a household where some people use litres of bodywash everytime they shower then it doesn't last very long
