Advantages: Attractive bottle; often on BOGOF
Disadvantages: Probably not the best shower gel around

...few months ago I purchased Adidas Shower Gel (250ml) on a BOGOF at Morrisons. I bought two different types, one called 'Ice Dive' and the other called 'Icy Burst'. The names themselves weren't particularly appealing, but the offer was, so I quickly snapped them up. Well a few months have now passed and I have virtually used them both up. There was only one thing left to do: write a review for Ciao. So here goes! Firstly, let me just say that the ...
...white top. Both have the Adidas logo on the front, like in the picture above, and the words 'Body Recharge' and 'Shower Gel'. The 'Ice Dive' variety is supposedly 'energising', whilst the other one is 'refreshing'. The bottles themselves have a sleek look about them; the front is mostly smooth and glossy, but the sides are rough and spiky, with lots of tiny raised dots. The gel itself is clear. It smells quite refreshing and is rather sweet smelling, ... Read review

Advantages: nice lasting fragrance, not expensive, good range
Disadvantages: none that I can think of

Avon Senses shower gels are well priced at £1.50 for 250ml. I have tried and still use the Mystique and Reflection ones from the range, but there are several others, all with different smells and bright colours. Mystique claims to be sensual and romantic, and in fact, does smell how I would imagine it would. There is the slightest hint of sweetness to it, but not too much. The frangrance is absolutely gorgeous, and lasts for a few hours after showering. ...
...Rflection is purple, and labelled as peaceful and soothing. i expected it to smell of lavender, but it doesn't. Again, the frangrance isn't overpowering and smells like nothing else I can accurately describe. It's a bit like a combination of Radox bubble bath, and those night-time pillow sprays you can buy to aid sleep. That sounds daft but it is a nice, soothing scent. The shower gels are a good consistency, although I prefer mine a little more ... Read review

Advantages: Smell gorgeous. Not drying on the skin. Soap free.
Disadvantages: Doesn't have an antibacterial agent.

What is it? *********** A moisturising liquid cream hand wash. What does it do? ****************** It claims to contain a blend of jojoba and vitamin E to help moisturise and repair dry skin. How do I use it? ***************** To be used during hand washing. Just simply apply a small amount into the palm of your hands, work thoroughly around and between fingers and then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Results? ********** This is a gorgeous ...
...my hands feeling very pampered and relaxed. The smell is delicious too, it reminded me of marzipan and almonds, though it doesn't really state a flavour. It's such a shame that such a lovely cream is used as just a soap hand wash. Although, it claims to moisturise dry hands, it is still a wash off product and there won't stay on the hands long enough to sink in or have much of the moisturising and hydrating benefits that it claims. However, I will ... Read review

Advantages: Lovely lingering scent
Disadvantages: Messy lid

...looked interesting and I love Olay products anyway. So did it purk up my interest? COMPANY HISTORY Olay was started in South Africa in 1949 by a man called Graham Wulff, he was an ex Unilever chemist. The product was originally called Oil of Olay (I remember my mum using this!) He chose this name as a spin on the word Lanolin. The fluid was certainly unique and came in a glass bottle and Wulff and his marketing partner Jack Lowe marketed it in ...
...of a light lotion, use Olay body was plus lotion ribbons- the only Olay body wash that adds an actual ribbon of lotion. The luxurious, fragrant lather softens your skin and visibly enhances its smoothness in just 7 days. PACKAGING This actually looks quite smart; it comes in a 295ml plastic bottle that stands up on the lid as most body washes do. The bottle itself is a frosty white colour and you can just see the colour of the product, which is ... Read review

Advantages: Smells nice, works well
Disadvantages: None

...one each of the three Radox Daily Elements Shower Gels so I thought I'd better tell you all about them. This one is Radox Daily Elements Revitalising Shower Scrub to give it its full name. They all look slightly different from the usual Radox shower gels in that they are in opaque coloured containers. This one is beige in colour, but you can see through it to judge the level of the liquid remaining inside. The 250ml container is the same in design ...
...this one has the usual Radox logo in green together with the words 'daily elements revitalising shower scrub'. Then there are two pictures one looks like nuts, possibly almonds and the other looks like little blue pebbles. The writing underneath says ' Mineral shower wash with exfoliating beads and sea minerals known to help smooth and reveal radiant skin'. There is also a circular logo with the words 'Blend of natural minerals and herbs' written ... Read review
