I love the Original Source range and always end up buying the new 'flavours' as and when I come across them. This particular version is one that I've had stashed away at the back of a cupboard for ages, and have finally got around to digging it out and using it. The Original Source Vanilla Milk and Cocoa Shower Cream was originally released in 2008 as their special Winter edition product. Each year different products are released during Summer and Winter for a limited period. I believe I actually picked this up from Poundland, where it would have cost me a measly £1.00. They often stock old or discontinued Original Source products so keep an eye out for these if you have  Read the complete review

Original source a company who specialise in toiletries containing 100% pure essential oils. They do not test on animals and use no animal products as ingredients. Don't be fooled into thinking there are no chemicals in the product as it's not the case. They have a nice flash website, featuring lots of information (but sadly no more free samples), available here: http://www.originalsource.co.uk/ Usually the look of original source products is one of vibrance with bright colours sometimes bordering on neon, however with vanilla milk & cocoa shower gel this is not the case. As with all original source products it features the angular, clear, upstanding ...  Read the complete review

Review of Original Source 'Winter Vanilla, Milk and Cocoa Shower Cream' **The Product** This Vanilla, milk and cocoa shower cream is the Winter 2008 special edition from Original Source. Being the cheapskate that I am, I purchased this just after Christmas when the supermarket was reducing their winter ranges.

As far as I recall, I paid in the region of 75p for my bottle of shower cream, I believe that the full price was around £1.50. **Packaging, Appearance and Scent** The shower cream is presented in a trapeze shaped, ...  Read the complete review

Showers don't seem to have the same relaxation appeal as baths; often people don't think that it is possible to relax in the shower and so don't really invest in 'smellies' for the shower. However, this shower gel is definitely luxurious and makes showering into something that is easily as nice as a bath. I picked this shower gel up in May in Tesco for 99p (it was on offer) and wasn't sure what to expect as I had never tried any of the Original Source products beforehand. It is definitely something I am glad I tried though! Smell: The first thing you can smell is the cocoa. It is rich and sweet, and while it might not appeal to those who dislike ...  Read the complete review

The function of a shower is best described as 'turning a dirty sleepy something into a fresh new me, ready for the day to come. Naturally, the shower gel is playing a vital role in this context. I take it for granted that any shower gel will get me clean, so it's more important if it makes this progress enjoyable. The special edition Winter from Original Source definitely does that trick, and even better, it seems like the company has decided to continue the vanilla milk & cocoa shower gel even though the winter has long gone! I would guess that the rich & smooth smell of vanilla and chocolate is a rather acquired taste. Many people still believe that ...  Read the complete review
