Shower power

Advantages: Requires only a cold water supply and electricty to produce a consistent shower.
Disadvantages: It isn't an invigorating shower when the temperature is turned up.

...I thought buying a shower would be easy. I thought I?d walk into that rather lovely bathroom shop, point at a shower and ask if they had a gentleman who could fit it for me. Oh, no, it?s not that simple. ?I?d like a shower please.? ?Certainly, would you like an electric shower, a mixer shower or a power shower?? I found myself gazing upwards at a steep learning curve but for the sake of brevity I?ll condense the next half hour into as few words as possible. We?ll start with the mixer shower. Have you seen those bath taps that have a switch to divert the water through a shower head? Well, that?s a mixer shower. For this you need to have one of the following systems: ~ Gravity fed hot and cold water supplies. ~ A fully modulating combination boiler or ~ Mains pressure hot and cold water which is unvented. What you...

Shower Power

Advantages: moisturises
Disadvantages: smell is quite masculine

...I always have a huge stock of toiletries in the house - in fact if I carry on like I am doing, I'll be able to open my own chemist soon! I was going away on a weekend camping trip, and having previously sorted out my stash of toiletries, I had managed to misplace all my travel size bottles - I completely forgot where I put them and still haven't found them yet! I knew we were planning to stop at Asda on the way, so I figured they would sell travel size toiletries - wrong! Either they didn't sell them, or in my rush I wasn't looking properly, but I couldn't find any, so picked up a bottle of radox moisture shower gel, as it was one of the cheapest full size bottles, being only £1.39. ~About the shower gel~ This is a shower gel made by radox, a company that boasts over 50 years of expertise. Radox have a wide range of shower gels...

Review of Radox Shower Cream

Right you 'orrible shower! . .

Advantages: Powerful, reliable, class.
Disadvantages: None.

.... . I have just had to go check which version mine is, there is no number, it is just called the Triton Aqua Sensation. The age of mine? Well, it must be about ten years old now, so I think that qualifies as standing the test of time. Triton have a very good name in shower circles, or should that be cubicles? and these models can be fitted slightly off the wall so it can be easily tiled after it has been fitted. Mine is actually a power shower, although in "non power mode" it seems as good as any other make of shower.The thermostat seems to keep the temperature just right, you just "dial up" the temp you want, and the whole thing is easy to keep clean. I have heard that showers can be noisy, but not in this case, the only place there is any real noise is in the shower itself, and you are only in there for a matter...

Review of Triton T80 Electric Showers

a shower with milk?

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...Mrs B is a busy old bee right now that we have Baby B who seems to take up all of our time. It's not very often that she is able to find the time to have a luxurious bath and relax and she can't justify spending a fortune on luxrious bath products either but this doesn't mean that she doesn't want to actually have a spot of luxury now that she is so busy. Mrs B decided to treat herself to this shower milk last time we went shopping. After a very hectic week with a teething 9 month old Mrs B decided that she needed to feel human again and whilst we were in our local Sainsbury's she disappeared off down the 'smelly' aisle and came back with this bottle of palmolive. She declared that she needed it as she wantd to treat herself to something different to just a standard soap and that it was cheap and smelt good. Palmolive...

Showering with Limes

Advantages: Good consistency and lather, easy to rinse off, didn't dry my skin out, smells nice, economical
Disadvantages: None for me

...Original Source makes a wide range of toiletry and bath products and state that they use essential oils in their products as opposed to synthetic fragrances. Their shower gels promise a shower experience that you 'have never experienced before'. The shower gels in the range include Lemon and Tea Tree, Lavender and Tea Tree, Mint and Tea Tree, Almond and Coconut, Dragonfruit and Capsicum, Winter (Vanilla Milk and Cocoa) and the Lime one I am reviewing. I also bought the Tea Tree and Mint one for colds but I haven't had the need to use it yet. The Original Source brand is now owned by Cussons PZ who also makes Imperial Leather products. I bought the Original Source Lime shower gel when it was on offer in my local Superdrug towards the end of last year. It cost me 99p if I remember correctly, I tend to make my purchasing choices...

ENERGISING SHOWER GEL!

Advantages: smells nice, layers and compliments the scent of the perfume
Disadvantages: none really, slihtly expensive for some

...Energise although the most prominent and identifiable ones are the Melon, Pink Pepper, Mandarin, Freesia, Cardamom and Amyris Woods. Hugo Boss Energise perfume and shower gel are described as having blends of Pink Pepper, Mandarin, Kumquat, Melon, ambrette, juniper, white freesia, cardamom, coriander, jacaranda wood, nubuck leather, suede note, black cocoa and amyris woods. If you use the shower gel before applying the perfume to your skin you will notice that this gives the fragrance more staying power; because you are applying a base for the perfume to stick to. Although I doubt that you need to layer the scent of Energise because it is a really long lasting fragrance. People who have slightly dry skin will find that the scent doesn't last long on their skin so therefore you might have to layer the scent in order to achieve better...

Joop! Homme Shower Gel

Advantages: smells nice,layers and compliments the scent of the perfume
Disadvantages: none really, possibly too expensive for some

...although the fragrance from the shower gel does linger on the skin for a good few hours. The shower gel has a lovely spicy/musky aroma which has an ever so subtle floral undertone; although there is a slight floral undertone this doesn't give the fragrance a feminine scent, it is most definitely a masculine scent. There is a wide range of fragrance notes in Joop! Homme although the most prominent and identifiable ones are the Musk, Vanilla, Amber, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli Oil, Cinnamon and Jasmine. Joop! Homme perfume and shower gel are described as having blends of Bergamot, Cinnamon, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Honeysuckle, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli Oil, Amber, Tonka Beans, Musk and Vanilla. If you use the shower gel before applying the perfume to your skin you will notice that this gives the fragrance more staying power...

Review of Joop! Homme Shower Gel

Power of a Woman

Advantages: Great tracks, harmonies
Disadvantages: None

...Eternal - Power of a Woman One of my favourite girl bands from old were Eternal (this is probably showing my age a bit but oh well). They were popular before The Spice Girls, Girls Aloud etc and I think one of the reasons why they were successful was because they could actually sing and had some lovely harmonies, with beautiful voices that all worked well together. They were also all very pretty as well so I'm sure this added to their success. Eternal were formed in 1992 and eventually ceased as a band around the year 2000. The group consisted of four members, Easther and Vernie Bennett who were sisters, Kelle Bryan and Louise Nurding. Louise Nurding is now probably the most famous of the quartet as she was fairly successful as a solo artist and went on to marry the footballer Jaime Rednapp. She still does some television work as...

Review of Power Of A Woman - Eternal

The subtle shower experiance.

Advantages: A good quality produt, that doesn't irritate already sore skin.
Disadvantages: Not as strong scented as i would have liked.

...One thing that seems to be used in abundance in my house is shower gel. Since allowing my children to take showers on their own and pour there own cleaning products too, my shower gel bill has risen dramatically! Due to an ongoing offer at Asda, my prayers have been answered, pricewise, to a large selection of good quality gels available at fantastic prices?.this is one of them! The shower gel I will now review is - ?Imperial leather - Hawaiian spa? I think I may have actually worked my way through every ?flavour? in this range and not been disappointed with any off them, though the packaging leaves a little to be desired. The bottle is clear plastic, through which the thick shower gel can be seen, this particular one being lilac, the bottle has also got the corresponding coloured lid too. Now the problem I have is the shape...

Review of Cussons Imperial Leather Hawaiian Spa Shower Gel

Wonderful Shower Milk

Advantages: the smell, the price, the results
Disadvantages: the silly stiff flip cap is a pain!!

...**Product Price & Availability** Palmolive products are available in many supermarkets and chemists. I purchased my most recent bottle from Tesco for just £1. The regular price for a 500ml at Tesco is £1.68. **The Packaging** Palmolive Naturals Shower Milk with Honey & Moisturising Milk is packaged in an off white double ended teardrop shaped bottle with a peachy coloured flip tip cap. The cap is a little stiff and it is far easier to use both hands when opening, one to hold the bottle and the other to flip the cap. The front of the bottle describes the product and has a picture of honey drizzling! Yum! On the back of the bottle is a further product description, interpreted into several languages. The Green Dot Symbol is shown, indicating that Colgate-Palmolive are compliant with the Germany Packaging Ordinance...
