...I really like the Original source shower gels so when I spotted a bottle of Original Source Almond and coconut bath foam for just £1 in my local Tesco, I decided to give it a try. Original Source makes a range of products including shower gels, shampoos and deodorants. They only use pure and natural essential oils or natural extracts and they are a member of both the Aromatherapy council and the Vegan society. On their web site the company says they source as much as possible from the U.K. Original source have a very clever marketing strategy, advertising their products as environmentally friendly .natural products. Original Source Almond and coconut bath foam comes in a rather plain looking 500ml plastic bottle. The bath foam is a sort of beige colour and doesn?t really look that appealing to be honest! The bottle has a screw top...

Coconut dream!

Advantages: Lovely coconutty treat
Disadvantages: You may eat too many!

...Review of Tesco Coconut Macaroons **What are they?** Tesco Coconut Macaroons are a deliciously moist coconut confection, a cross between a cake and a cookie is the easiest way to describe the texture. **History** According to 'Wikipedia' macaroons were invented in an Italian monastery in 1792, where they were known as 'amaretti'. Later, two Carmelite nuns, hiding in the town of Nancy during the French Revolution, baked and sold macaroons to cover their expenses. They became known as the "Macaroon Sisters." The English word macaroon comes from the French macaron. The Compact Oxford English Dictionary entry for 'macaroon' reads as follows:- '• noun a light biscuit made with egg white and ground almonds or coconut. **The appearance and taste** Each macaroon is baked on an edible rice paper base. The top is golden...

SUPERDRUG COCONUT OIL

Advantages: Cheap and does the job!
Disadvantages: Slight articifical Coconut smell, packaging needs revamping.

...to use Superdrug Coconut Oils by a good friend of mine. She said that it is not a miracle product that can heal the injury of my hair, but it can prevent it from more damages until I have the gut to visit a hairdresser. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE PACKAGING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have no choice but to buy it. I wasn't too impressed with the look of packaging. It looks like some baby petroleum jelly! The only reason I didn't mistake it is because it was among the hair products. It is in a small white plastic mini tub of 100ml, which looked pretty cheap and tacky. Unfortunately I can't remember how much it cost exactly; it was only a couple of pounds maximum. The lid is seal with a plastic ring around the tub and once you have opened it, you can still close the tub with a 'click'. Re-opening isn't always easy, as it has a small beak...

Where is the Coconut and Vanilla?

Advantages: moisturises, cheap
Disadvantages: lacking in the frangrance dept.

...As I had a sneaky trip to Asda the other day I headed for the bath section as I got a wonderful festive bath foam on my last visit so I was pleased to find another bargain buy. This time it is a comforting one which is scented with coconut and vanilla. ~~THE BOTTLE~~ The bath foam comes in a plastic bottle which shows off the white liquid and allows you to easily see how much of the bath foam is left and it has a white screw lid. The front of the bottle has the product name and the Asda name in light blue lettering and the back of the bottle has the product details and directions for use. ~~USE AND RESULTS~~ This is very easy to use you just screw the lid and then pour the liquid under a running tap. I would say that you really don?t need to use much of this at all as a little does go a long way and makes lots of bubbles...

Tesco Cool Coconut Bars

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: Sweet

...A review on Tesco Cool Coconut bars. Well, after a busy day, I found myself in Tesco's at 8.00pm last night. Not the usual night out, but it couldn't be helped. Anyway, I was drawn, as ever, to the chocolate. It was the bags of Tesco Cool Coconut mini bars that caught my eye this time. The bag said, "11 Treat size bars. Moist, sweet flaked coconut covered in thick milk chocolate." But, did they live up to their expectations on any of those counts? We'll see. Some Brief Facts + The name TESCO comes from the initials of two men - T.E. Stockwell (a tea supplier) and Jack COhen (the founder of Tesco's). Why Stockwell? Well, the first product with the Tesco name on it was a packet of tea in the 1920's. + The bag of Cool Coconut contains 11 bars or does it? + The product is suitable for Vegetarians...

Top Quality Coconut Milk Simply Packaged.

Advantages: Delicious ingredient
Disadvantages: NOne

...certainly something you might not expect. Their Essential range is superb. Many everyday items are included in this category, and one of my favourites has to be the coconut milk, which I buy weekly using it to make many curries which my family all love. This retails for £1.28 for 400 ml at Ocado, and you can also buy the lower fat version if you prefer for the same price. This shaves about 30p off traditional brands such as Amoy and Blue Dragon, although there are low cost brands such as Island Sun who sell budget tins for budget prices in competing supermarkets. The packaging for this coconut milk is lovely. Simple white and stylish the tin has a cut coconut which looks clean and appetising. There is something really pure about the design which I love. In case you are not familiar with coconut milk it is derived from the actual...

Coconut body butter

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

...It's been a while I have shopped at The Body Shop. There wasn't a real reason why I stopped going I just didn't really like their stuff any more. Recently though I received a free 50ml pot of Coconut Body Butter with Marie Claire magazine and I loved it so much that I will definitely be making a trip to Body Shop, (or at least their website). ~~~~~~ The pot I have is 50ml which is worth £5.00 and comes in a little brown plastic pot. The lid is a screw off affair and does up nice and tightly meaning I can carry it around in my bag. Once you open the lid you are greeted by a smell very similar to coconut milk. I love this smell so this definitely a great variety for me to try. The smell is very realistic as well rather than fake, sweet smell you get with some coconut fragranced things. The smell even provoked a reaction from...

Tesco Coconut Conditioner

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Smell, leaves hair greasy

...Now, I'm not someone who cares a lot about their hair or the way it looks. I'm often leaving the house for school with a hair in a mess. I do like to use conditioner, however, when I'm washing it. I have absolutely no say in what shampoo or conditioner is bought in my house (I still live with my mum, being only 16, so she does all the shopping), so I just use whatever is there. Occassionally I'll see the bottle of VO5 or Herbal Essences, or if I'm very lucky, a man's shampoo, but more often than not it's the Tesco range that ends up on my head. My mum's favourite seems to be coconut, for reasons beyond my knowledge. The conditioner leaves my hair greasy and the smell is awful. It does smell of coconuts -ones which have went off! It feels and looks like normal conditioner, but don't let that fool you - it is nothing like, for example...

Almond and Coconut Hair

Advantages: smells nice, leaves hair looking and feeling healthier and stonger
Disadvantages: none really

...Original Source ~ Almond & Coconut ~ Shampoo Almost a fortnight ago I asked my husband if he would nip into Tesco's on the way home from work and get shampoo and conditioner for me and a bottle of 2in1 for the kids as we had almost ran out. I always buy Herbal Essences shampoos and conditioners so I didn't bother to tell my husband which brand to buy because I thought he would have known that I always buy Herbal Essences. When he returned later in the evening and I unpacked the bag from Tesco's there wasn't any Herbal Essences Shampoo or Conditioner in it; instead he had bought Origional Source Almond and Coconut Shampoo and matching Conditioner. I asked him why he bought Original Source and he told me that Herbal Essences was too dear and the Origional Source only cost £0.99 a bottle compared to £3 for Herbal Essences. I...
