Fresh scents

These are some delicious smelling shower gels. My favourites are Lime and Mint Chocolate. The gel comes in very simple, clear packaging and the gel itself is a good consistency, not too runny or thick.

I found these shower gels to be a bit small in size (250ml) so for me they were quite expensive compared to other shower gels I have purchased.

I found these soaps to be gentle on my skin, they lathered really well so a little goes a long way. They always left me smelling yummy and feeling good, highly recommended!.

Grapefruit

They smell amazing and were on sale for $2.50 so ya can't go wrong for that price. I like that the bottle stays upside down and that the lid clicks in well so it doesn't dribble out.

This one I found was a very thick gel which I found useless when trying to just use my hands on a puff I didn't find it very soapy or that it left my skin feeling soft. Just the smell and the price was great.

Smells declicious

These body washes smell delicious. I particularly love the apple scented one. I find the body wash consistency a little bit too thick and I accidentally get too much out of the bottle because of this.

Sumptuous scents but not very good lather

I love the variety of scents that Original Source shower gel comes in, and they smell just beautiful. I was disappointed every time I used it though because I was expecting it to foam better which makes it feel easier to use. Because I don't think it lathered well, I ended up using more of it than I would with other products so it didn't last as long.

Lime!

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.

smells so amazing

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.

Tips: use sparingly lasts a long time!

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

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.

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.

Mint and Tea Tree

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.

Tips: 1. Don't get it on your uh, nether regions. (My boyfriend refuses to touch this shower gel, that's how bad the pain was.)
