...I came across the ORIGINAL SOURCE WEBSITE on a list of FREEBIE sites (I do love my freebies and trust me, this is a great one which anyone can sign up for).
What you do to get your free sample of Original source shower gel or bubble bath, is go onto the Original source website and simply register (put in your details to become a member) and then you can choose just ONE sample from one of about 4 products (2 shower gels, 2 bubble baths- aka bath ... ...: Tea Tree and Lemon (GEL), Tea Tree and Mint (GEL), Rose and Geranium (BATH FOAM) and Tea Tree and Lavender (BATH FOAM). I recommend the Tea Tree and Mint shower gel which is what I chose. Although these samples do seem to regularly change in scents as they are probably in large demand.
Another member of your family can not, unfortunately, receive a free sample as the site will recognise that your address has been used for your sample to be sent ...

Advantages: All natural ingredients, nothing artificial Disadvantages: can be harsh on the skin.
The Original Source shower gel is a shower I have never experienced before, it’s just so strong! It’s like a hard man’s shower gel- only the toughest can withstand the intense smell and cleaning power! There’s no girly lather or nice pearly effects, we’re talking hard core mint, know wah ah mean?
OK so back to the real world. Now, I have usually seen Original Source stuff on the shelves and always passed it by, and I don’t really have a good reason ... ...I tried was the Mint Original source shower gel, however they come in a variety of ‘flavours’ that are orange, spearmint, lemon, lavender, lime and rose. And you can get those flavours in all different kinds of product, including bath foam, shampoo, conditioner, soaps, face and hand washes. Original Source has a policy on consisting of natural ingredients and products with no synthetic products and they don’t test on animals, yay!

Advantages: A tingling shower experience! Disadvantages: Some may find it a bit too much!
_Original Source_ has to be one of my favourite brands when it comes to shower gels and bath foams. I have not tried all of the different varieties, only the ones that appeal to me and the ones that I have tried I have loved. One of my favourites in the range is the Mint and Tea Tree shower gel. It is widely available and is stocked in most supermarkets and high street chemists such as _Boots_. They are usually similarly priced to their counterparts, ... ...and this is when I take advantage and stock up! This shower gel comes in a clear transparent bottle, so you can see the rich green gel inside. The bottle has a slightly different design to other shower gels it comes in an upside down container that stands on the flip top lid. It doesn't pour out fast but it is easily dispensed, a little squeeze is all that is needed and another advantage of having the bottle upside down is that the soap is always ...

...as well as on the Original Source website (more details below). I suppose this is the normal price for a decent shower gel, but do look out for 2 for 1 deals!
On the front of the bottle this shower gel promises to give you the "most motivating and reviving shower experience you've ever had."
Original Source prides itself on its natural ingredients and plant extracts. The product uses natural oils, not synthetic fragrances. On the back of the bottle ... ...plants and developed herbal cures. Original Source claims to include many of the same ingredients discovered back then.
The bottle also tells you to expect a cooling and tingling sensation from the cool peppermint oil contained in the product and warns people to be careful if they have sensitive skin.
And for all your animal lovers out there, it will be a relief to hear that this is is not tested on animals!

Advantages: loads of uses, feels and smells great Disadvantages: none
Like most people on Ciao I have visited www.oringinalsource.com. There I received a free sample of tea tree and mint shower. Well this was ages ago and I put the sample away and forgot about it. Last week however I found the sample amongst my stuff and decided it was time I tried it out.
So what does the product look like? It comes in a small 25ml sachet that is green in colour. The gel is an ice blue colour and the consistency is not too runny. ... ...come out in a big blob but this was just right .So I squeezed a bit out of the corner I had torn off and made a start. I only took a small corner of the packaging off, as there seemed to be alot in the sachet, and I didn’t think I would use it all at once. Was right about that.
How would I describe the feel of it? As the product is made from tea tree and mint oils the product has an immense impact on the way your skin feels. Normal shower gels just ...

...LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND…
Original Source make a range of bath products, including shower gels, bath foams, shampoos, conditioners and hand wash, and their key selling point is their natural ingredients. As you would guess from the name “original source”, their products contain natural flavourings and fragrances, including what they call “natural essential oils.” The philosophy of this is that when using Original Source, you get a totally organic ... ...My 250ml bottle of Original Source Mint and Tea Tree Shower Gel has quite a funky design - narrow at the top, getting wider towards the base, and it kind of stands upside down with the nozzle at the bottom, as more and more shower gels seem to be doing these days (so that when it’s nearly empty, I don’t have to wait for it to slowly dribble down to the top; it’ll already be there - ingenious!)
Along with the name, I’m being promised “The Ultimate ...

...have become addicted to the original source range, I decided to try a different product of theirs – Tea Tree and Mint Shower Gel. I brought this from Tesco in a 250ml size. It cost me £2.49. You can buy this size from any large supermarkets distributed around the UK. You can also buy this in size 500ml which is a pump pack, which is only sold in Sainsburys for £3.99, or you can buy yourself a 25ml sachet on the Original Source website for 49p. Or ... ...along with lots of other Original Source products to take on holiday with me, so I guess you could call me an Original Source package gal or something hehe!
It’s not hard to miss on the shelf, as it seems to stand out against all the other brands. It has a black hook on the top for hooking it up to a stand in your bathroom and the bottle is clear so you can see how much dark green shower gel is inside. It has the words ‘Original Mint Source Shower’ ...

What is original source then?
Well original source products originate in Australia, and are all derived form natural ingredients. There products use only natural oils to fragrance the products, so no synthetic fragrances are added. The company has had a no animal testing policy since their launch in 1997, so you don’t need to worry about that one.
What do I think?
I think these are really wonderful products and the smells are gorgeous, ...

...getting eight free samples from Original Source must sound like a dream. I was certainly pleased with the idea, so I checked out the website and registered for the freebies. A couple of days later, my sachet of the Tea Tree and Mint Shower Gel arrived safe and sound.
The idea is that you try out the sample then receive an email from Original Source, asking you to click on a link and leave feedback. This takes only a minute or so. You just write ... ...Will I be trying other Original Source products? Oh yes!

The full size version of this product comes in one of those bottles with a hook for your shower. The tea tree oil in it is apparently a natural antiseptic and the peppermint oil is ‘cooling and reviving’ – I’d ...
