Palmolive Milk and Honey Shower Gel

Milk and honey. Conjures up lovely images, doesn’t it? Well, that’s what I thought when I was looking for a new shower cream and Palmolive’s Naturals range caught my eye. In reality, bathing in milk and honey would probably leave you smelling a bit sour and feeling very sticky, but it’s proof of the power of marketing that the mental images I have been given by the name are more to do with Cleopatra than the unpleasant reality. Milk and honey is one of three varieties in the range, featuring natural sounding ingredients (but in reality containing as many un-natural sounding things as any other ... more

Are expensive brands really necessary? When flicking through the beauty pages of magazines I see shower gels and bath foams, creams and oils priced extortionately. Do they really work any better? I very rarely pay more than £5 for a bottle of bubble bath and £2 for shower gel. Who needs to spend money on Clinique or Origins when I can get a wonderful, lovely smelling shower gel that makes my skin lovely and soft for under a pound? What is this shower gel? It is Palmolive Naturals Milk and Honey and it must be sent from the gods as it is heavenly to use. Palmolive Naturals Milk and Honey is not ... more

Ok, here’s a treat for you all! I decided to write one more op before the BIG day, and what better way to do it than with an op on one of my favourite topics, bath and shower goodies!! You know me, and my penchant for all things smelly, fluffy and frothy!! And I’m not talking about unpleasant aromas, little kittens and the Cresta bear here!!

Well I ... more

It’s not often I write about bath and shower products, largely because I don’t use many. No, that’s a lie, when a green noxious cloud surrounds my flat then I have one. No, what I mean is I’m a budget girl who sticks to cheapy and own brands and so I don’t often try anything new or unusual. So, there I was doing my usual online bulk shop from Tesco and I remembered I needed some more shower gel and rather than just opt for the same again I did my usual “research” first and checked out the special offers. I found that Palmolive Shower Gels were on a Buy One Get One Free offer so I decided to go ... more

Isn't it funny how looks can be decieving. I mean, who would have guessed that inside my four bedroomed semi on the outskirts of Nottingham, up the stairs and to the left is a great big sunken bath, with palm trees surrounding it. There are bronzed men in loin cloths pouring milk, from large gold jugs and in the background,an 8 piece orchestra plays a relaxing melody. It is from this haven of indulgance I write to you now. Well of course I am dreaming again. My bathroom is so damn small I would have trouble getting myself and a plumber in there, let alone two bronzed men and an 8 piece ... more
