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...

Review of Original Source Lime Shower Gel

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 wonderful experience in the shower!

Advantages: Cleans well, smells lovely, its Radox
Disadvantages: None for me

...Last year on my birthday I received a lot of different shower gels ? Dave loves to find me lots of variations that I haven?t tried before. My bathroom cupboard sometimes looks like a small branch of Boots! Three of those that I received last year were the three new Radox Daily Elements ones and I have started with the one called Deeply Cleansing. These look slightly different from the usual Radox shower gels. To start with this one comes in a pale blue plastic container as opposed to the usual clear one but it is opaque so you can still see the level of the liquid inside. The 250ml container is the same in design as all the other Radox shower gels. It has a hook set into the top of the container which unclips and turns through 180 degrees so that you can hang your shower gel on the shower tap. The labeling looks different...

Review of Radox Daily Elements Deeply Cleansing Shower Cream

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...

Review of Palmolive Milk and Honey Shower Gel

Getting fruity in the shower!

Advantages: Leaves you smelling like a fruit bowl.
Disadvantages: The hard to handle bottle.

...After visiting Asda on a couple of occasions and there being no special offers on shower gel wise, I decided to try out the Asda own branded type, with there being a choice of four I decided on two particular ?flavours? the review being on the first one. The shower gel I will now review is - ?Asda essential care, fruity raspberry & redcurrant shower gel? You will be under no false impressions when first seeing this gel, there are no frills and fancy decorations on this bottle, though the vivid colour of the gel itself visible through the opaque bottle being more than inviting in itself. There is the usual information to be had, this being brand name, product name, ?flavour?, and a short statement that this product contains not only moisturisers but natural fruit extracts, making this this invigorating and refreshing. The bottle...

ENERGISING SHOWER GEL!

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

...Hugo Boss ~ Energise ~ Shower Gel I bought my husband a Hugo Boss Energise gift set for his Christmas, he has a few Hugo Boss fragrances and he likes the smell of them as do I. Inside the gift set there was a bottle of Energise Eau De Toilette, a tube of shower gel and shaving balm. The gift set wasn't that expensive and only cost me £30 for all three items; when I'm buying perfumes I tend to always buy gift sets because they are better value for money. The Hugo Boss Energise shower gel can also be bought on its own from most department stores if you don't want to buy a gift set. As you can see from the picture at the top of this review the shower gel is supplied in a silver coloured tube which has a chunky silver screw on/off lid. I think that the tube of shower gel has really simple colouring and design; yet it still...

Review of Hugo Boss Hugo Energise Shower Gel

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...

Review of Mira Advance Electric Shower

A very average Lush shower gel

Advantages: smells OK, lathers well, gets skin clean
Disadvantages: nothing special about it, a little pricier than others

...I tend to have a few bottles of shower gel on the go at once - one to suit every mood! I noticed that a lot of my Lush shower gels are approaching their use-by dates, and as such have been using them regularly over the past few weeks to make sure I use them up on time! Having got to the end of all of the others, I was left with half a bottle of The Olive Branch. When it came to picking a shower gel, nine times out of ten The Olive Branch would be near the bottom of the list. I don't know what it is about this product, because it's nice enough - as I will describe if you read on - but I suppose it just lacks the 'wow factor' I've had from some of the other Lush shower gels I've used, such as Slammer and Snow Fairy. The Olive Branch comes in the same packaging as the other Lush shower gels (apart from the name on the label...

Joop! Homme Shower Gel

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

...Joop! Homme ~ Shower Gel Some time ago my husband got a Joop! Homme gift set for Christmas; he really likes all of the Joop fragrances, but Joop! Homme is his all time favourite. The Joop! Homme gift set which he received consisted of a bottle of Joop! Homme eau de toilette, a tube of shower gel and a tube of shaving balm. The gift set wasn't really expensive and only cost about £28-30 for all three items, which is really good value for money considering a 75ml bottle of Joop! Homme eau de toilette costs £30. Most of the time when I am buying a perfume for myself or my husband I always tend to purchase the git set because you get more for your money and you also get the bath and body products which compliment and layer the scent of the perfume. The picture at the top of this review is incorrect and doesn't resemble...
