Radox Crystal Calm Himalayan Salt Bath Salts

Hi there! Today’s post is about these Radox Crystal Calm Himalayan Salt Bath Salts with jasmine & hibiscus. These bath salts promise to help balance and detoxify the skin. You’re supposed to use 2-3 handfuls of bath salts for a bath.

I’ve given these bath salts a try, and I’m rather disappointed. These bath salts colour the water in a dusty pink shade which stained the bath tub. Not great if you have to scrub the tub right after a supposedly relaxing bath.

I didn’t like the scent of these bath salts at all. It just didn’t smell pleasant. I will use up these bath salts, mixed with nicer bath salts to mask the smell of these, but I wouldn’t repurchase them.

If you’re interested, Radox Crystal Calm Himalayan Salt Bath Salts with jasmine & hibiscus are available as 900g. I paid £2.99 (half price offer).

Palmolive Memories Of Nature Berry Picking Shower Gel

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Palmolive Memories Of Nature Berry Picking Shower Gel.

I’ve previously had a shower gel from this collection – Flower Field – which I didn’t love. But I tried this one anyway. First of all, Palmolive shower gels are usually awesome. And secondly, who doesn’t love berries?

I’ve been using this shower gel on and off the entire month (I finished it this morning), and I think it smells very nice. It has a beautiful and refreshing blackberry fragrance.

I also like the gentle formula. The shower gel is definitely cleansing, but it’s doesn’t make my skin feel dry at all. Very nice!

If you’re interested, Palmolive Memories Of Nature Berry Picking Shower Gel is available as 250ml. I paid £1 (special offer, Superdrug).

Westlab Salt Shack Mango Moods Bath Salts

Hi there! Today is about these Westlab Salt Shack Mango Moods Bath Salts. These are limited edition bath salts which have moved from the supermarkets and drugstores to the bargain stores. I picked up my bag at my local B&M Bargains for well under £3 (can’t remember the exact price though).

How are these bath salts? I think they’re good but not great. They smell wonderful from the bag and for about a minute in the bath, but the fragrance evaporates into nothingness rather quickly. But they make for a decent bath. They’re just not special.

If you’re interested, Westlab Salt Shack Mango Moods Bath Salts are available as 1kg. I’d say if you find them for a low price, and if you don’t mind that their fragrance is short-lived, they’re worth buying. But I wouldn’t pay more than £3 for these bath salts.

Palmolive Naturals Almond & Milk Shower Cream, Palmolive Naturals Black Orchid & Moisturising Milk Shower Milk

Hi there! Today’s post is about 2 of my all-time favourite shower gels – Palmolive Naturals Almond & Milk Shower Cream and Palmolive Naturals Black Orchid & Moisturising Milk Shower Milk.

Palmolive Naturals Almond & Milk Shower Cream is THE one shower gel that I’ve loved the longest – I started to use it as a teen some time in the 90s! And this shower gel has the most beautiful sweet and milky fragrance. It smells somewhat of almond, but it’s 10 levels above any other almond-scented body product. This shower is… heaven!

Palmolive Naturals Black Orchid & Moisturising Milk Shower Milk is wonderful too. It smells dark, velvety and sensual. Absolutely gorgeous! I’m sad that this is the last bottle in my stash. I wish I had a few more because this beauty has been discontinued. 😦

Palmolive Naturals Almond & Milk Shower Cream and Palmolive Naturals Black Orchid & Moisturising Milk Shower Milk are available as 250ml each. If you come across these shower gels at some discount store, get them while you still can! I can’t imagine that anyone would not love these. 😀

Wright’s Cleansing Traditional Soap With Coal Tar Fragrance

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Wright’s Cleansing Traditional Soap With Coal Tar Fragrance. Apparently some time ago, this soap used to contain coal tar, but this is no longer the case. As of now, this soap contains tea tree oil instead of coal tar, but it still has a coal tar fragrance.

I’ve never used this soap – until now – and I like it very much. The soap bar is orange, and it has a very strong scent that has filled the bathroom within minutes. The scent is unusual but I like it.

The soap lathers up nicely, and it feels cleansing. This is particularly nice after a sweaty workout. I’ve noticed that the soap isn’t drying at all – another big plus. I will continue to use the soap, and based on my experience, I would recommend it.

If you’re interested, Wright’s Cleansing Traditional Soap With Coal Tar Fragrance is available as 125g for 85p.

Revisiting Old Favourites – Palmolive Naturals Pampering Touch With Coconut & Moisturising Milk, Palmolive Naturals Ultra Moisturization With Olive & Moisturizing Milk

Hi there! Today’s post is about 2 of my all-time favourite shower gels – Palmolive Naturals Pampering Touch With Coconut & Moisturising Milk and Palmolive Naturals Ultra Moisturization With Olive & Moisturizing Milk. I dug them up from my seemingly bottomless stash. And I was more than happy to put them in the shower.

I used Palmolive Naturals Pampering Touch With Coconut & Moisturising Milk first. This shower gel is just as I remembered it – the formula is lovely and gentle, and the fragrance is fresh and warm at the same time – which makes it suitable for all seasons, I think. This shower gel does NOT smell like coconut at all – although Palmolive changed the fragrance and the current version is coconut overload. But this oldie from a few years ago is pure bliss!

Onto Palmolive Naturals Ultra Moisturization With Olive & Moisturizing Milk which is just as wonderful. I already mentioned the amazing formula, so let’s get to the fragrance! This shower gel has a gorgeous green fragrance. It’s also fresh and warm at the same time, and I’m enjoying it so much! Fortunately, this shower gel is still around – although I’d prefer smaller bottles as the 750ml is unreasonably big!

Palmolive Naturals Pampering Touch With Coconut & Moisturising Milk used to be available as a 250ml – but it’s gone forever because of the needless change of fragrance. Palmolive Naturals Ultra Moisturization With Olive & Moisturizing Milk also used to be available as 250ml but I only ever see it as a 750ml family size now. A bottle of that size is quite a commitment for a 2-people household. I wish they still did 250ml. Ah well… hopefully, Palmolive can restore its bath and shower range to its former glory as it would mop the floor with Radox, Imperial Leather and Original Source! Fingers crossed!

100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free – Astonish Bath Soak Refreshing Golden Glow, Astonish Bath Soak Soothing Deep Blue

Hi there! Today’s post is about 2 cheap bath gels which I picked up at Iceland and Poundland, respectively – Astonish Bath Soak Refreshing Golden Glow and Astonish Bath Soak Soothing Deep Blue. Onto the review!

Astonish Bath Soak Refreshing Golden Glow is a beautiful bath gel. Whilst most peach-scented toiletries smell of slightly bitter peach skin or of overly ripe peaches, this bath gel managed to capture the most pleasant peach scent – I call it dream peach! The bath gel is on the drying side, but I moisturise after every bath anyway, so I don’t mind.

Astonish Bath Soak Soothing Deep Blue smells too masculine for my taste. It smells like my husband’s many blue shower gels. It’s not a bad scent at all, and my husband used and enjoyed most of this bath gel, but I wouldn’t buy it again for myself. But I’d buy it for my husband. This one is also a bit drying, but not a problem if you moisturise after you’ve bathed.

Based on my experience, I would recommend both bath gels – provided you like the fragrances. Astonish Bath Soak Refreshing Golden Glow and Astonish Bath Soak Soothing Deep Blue are available as giant 950ml bottles, and priced at £1 each, they’re a total steal! Also, both products are certified cruelty-free – they carry THE Leaping Bunny logo, and they’re also vegan!

100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free – Superdrug Fruity Vanilla Ice Cream Shower Gel

Hi there! Today’s super short post is about this Superdrug Fruity Vanilla Ice Cream Shower Gel.

This is a limited edition that I picked up after one of my friends told me I had to try Superdrug’s Birthday Cake shower gel. My store didn’t have the Birthday Cake shower gel, but I picked up 2 bottles of the Vanilla Ice Cream shower gel as it sounded nice enough.

I’ve been using this shower gel a few times, and whilst I don’t love it, I think it’s quite enjoyable, although I can see it getting old quickly too.

The fragrance is sweet and vanilla-like, although it doesn’t really smell like ice cream. But that’s OK. I didn’t expect that. If you like vanilla-scented toiletries, you might want to check out this shower gel.

Superdrug Fruity Vanilla Ice Cream Shower Gel is available as 250ml for £1.79. I think this is too much for a drugstore own brand shower gel.

I bought 2 shower gels on a Buy 1 Get 1 Free special promotion. Also, this shower gel is certified cruelty-free. It carries THE Leaping Bunny logo. This shower gel is also vegan!

Revisiting Old Favourites – Original Source Skin Quench Cherry & Jojoba Oil Moisturising Shower, Original Source Pink Grapefruit Shower

Hi there! Today’s post is about 2 shower gels I found in my stash – Original Source Skin Quench Cherry & Jojoba Oil Moisturising Shower and Original Source Pink Grapefruit Shower. These are from a little while ago, and they’re also discontinued, but these are back-up bottles that I bought because I liked those shower gels. But do I still like them?

Let’s start with Original Source Skin Quench Cherry & Jojoba Oil Moisturising Shower! This shower gel is really lovely – it smells like candy cherries – it actually reminds me of Haribo’s Happy Cherries. 🍒 Very nice! I also like that it’s super gentle on the skin. I wouldn’t say it”s moisturising, but it’s much, much gentler than most shower gels.

Original Source Pink Grapefruit Shower is absolutely lovely too. What a wonderfully refreshing shower gel! I adore the tart and zesty grapefruit (and lemon) fragrance. This shower gel is a real treat! I have a few more of these – and they’re definitely stash-worthy!

Original Source Skin Quench Cherry & Jojoba Oil Moisturising Shower and Original Source Pink Grapefruit Shower are (or were) available as 250ml each, and I paid £1 each (they were from Poundland or B&M).

Imperial Leather Monkey Business Guava Blossom & Jungle Leaves Icons Shower Gel, Cussons Creations Comfort Bottled Magnolia & Almond Milk Shower Gel

Hi there! Today’s post is about 2 shower gels I picked up at Poundland and B&M Bargains – Imperial Leather Monkey Business Guava Blossom & Jungle Leaves Icons Shower Gel and Cussons Creations Comfort Bottled Magnolia & Almond Milk Shower Gel.

Let’s start with Imperial Leather Monkey Business Guava Blossom & Jungle Leaves Icons Shower Gel! This is a fun shower gel. It smells sweet and fruity, but also tropical. It’s difficult to describe. A tropical candy scent? Well, I’m definitely enjoying it. I think most women would enjoy it. Kids too. And even some men. My husband gave this shower gel a try too, and he also liked it. I would buy this shower gel again!

Onto Cussons Creations Comfort Bottled Magnolia & Almond Milk Shower Gel. This shower gel is a strange one. It smells of almond blossoms, but it’s too floral and too soapy for my taste. It comes across as a bit old-fashioned. This isn’t a bad thing, and the next person might love it. But it’s just not my favourite type of scent in shower or bath products. The shower gel is super gentle though. And it’s also certified cruelty-free as it’s PETA-approved. 😍

Imperial Leather Monkey Business Guava Blossom & Jungle Leaves Icons Shower Gel and Cussons Creations Comfort Bottled Magnolia & Almond Milk Shower Gel are available as 400ml each. I paid £1 each.
