This product can be found in all supermarkets and I have seen them in a couple of ‘corner shops’.

Original Source as you are all probably well aware of by now, produce a variety of hair; body and face care products suitable for men and women. The range is quite limited at the moment, with new body sprays just having been launched recently. Original Source appealed to me personally because they use natural ingredients and essential aromatherapy oils in their products but more importantly, are animal friendly. Neither the ... ...shower gel sample off the Original Source website, quite pleased that I actually had a say for once in what freebies I was sent and then awaited its arrival.

Advantages: Lathers well Covers easily Disadvantages: Smell fades too quickly
Having used my first free sample from www.originalsource.co.uk I was getting a little inpatient waiting for the next. When it finally arrived yesterday morning, I had my evening planned straight away. I was going to come home from work, have my tea and then pamper myself with a nice long, hot, steamy shower and a facial. I looked forward to it all day.
The first sample ( Tea tree and Mint ) was excellent. I found it to be a very capable shower gel ... ...this one, were quite high.

...my next free sample of Original Source. In fact every morning when the postman arrived I was breaking out in a sweat. You see; I couldn’t quite decide whether I would be brave enough to use the shower gel for that all over body experience. For those of you that read my op on the tea tree and mint gel you will be aware that I had a rather fiery encounter. As much as I would like a nice hunky fireman to come and hose me down I’m not sure that the husband ... ...know if I use another Original Source that contains mint. Apart from the obvious area’s to avoid if you have sensitive skin you should also avoid the eyes.

Anyway, Original Lemon Source shower gel. We've all heard of the Original Source range - whether it be shower gel, face masks, moisturisers or shampoo, you'll find it all in this range. And their varieties are amazing too - all incredibly fruity, authentic smelling, and do their job well. So why is this any different?
In my 250ml bottle, I have a mass of bright yellow shower gel. Well, it's supposed to be lemon scented, so I guess ... ...back of the bottle the Original Source story is told...sounds like a load of rubbish to me, but I guess it makes interesting reading if you're sitting and soaking in the bath. We're also given a list of 'ingredients' - I'm not going to list them all, I'll just say that the shower gel does contain natural lemon oil and tea tree oil - it's not artificial.
This shower gel is designed for normal or oil prone skin - hence the addition of the tea tree ...

...is the second sample from Original Source that I have received but the first I tried out because I opened the other one and couldn't stand the smell, it was Tea Tree and Mint so I thought I would save it for another day. You can get free samples by going to www.originalsource.co.uk the samples are 25ml sachets which are just big enough to wash your hair and body.
This particular product comes in a lemon coloured sachet and the first thing I noticed ... ...loved it, I couldn't smell the Tea Tree at all which I think is a good thing but the lemon made me feel hungry I kept thinking of Lemon Meringue pie because that is the nearest thing to describe this gorgeous smell to.

...was prejudiced in favour of Original Source shower gels, and was very much looking forward to their next sample, namely the Tea Tree and Lemon one. For those who haven’t done so yet, samples can still be ordered via their website www.originalsource.com.
The sample was not split, and as should have been expected was a nice yellow in colour, a lot more appealing than the Mint one, whose combination of colours didn’t look right to me. No such critique ... ...buy a bottle from the Original Lemon Source shampoo range.
The shower gel will ‘produce fresh citrus aromas giving you a refreshing and reviving sensation’ and ‘leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed’.

...I have registered with Original Source to receive their eight free samples. A few days after the sachet has arrived, you receive an email asking you to fill out a short feedback form.

The smell of something is very important to me, I like it to be the right kind of smell and the right intensity, not too strong but not undetectable either.
The Tea Tree and Lemon shower gel is a nice yellow colour, pretty but not too bright or artificial looking. It is a good texture ...

...particularly almost anything from the Original Source range.
One of the few that I had not yet tried was the Tea Tree and Lemon Shower Gel. I had tried the pure lemon one and found that was far too strong both in fragrance and sensation – a bit TOO tingly in some areas if you know what I mean!
Anyway I decided that I should try the Tea Tree and Lemon variety to see if the addition of the tea tree calmed the sensation down at all. I also realised ... ...that the worst bit about Original Source shower gel was the fact that it only hung the right way up in the shower and I had to fetch it off the hook, twist the top off and try and get the shower gel out whilst holding the top in one hand and the container in the other!
