I'm probably your typical man when it comes to choosing shower gel or shampoo, doesn't matter about the brand (I draw the line at Hai Karate or the pound shops on brand though), if it's on offer I'm having it. I've purchased Original Source products before, as usually they are on offer in some place or other, and I like the vast arrange of scents they come in. I only purchased the Vanilla and Raspberry flavoured one, as I was buying them on a 2 for 1 and I had already purchased my favourite ;Mint Source, and I didn't really want two of the same kind. == What is it? == Original Source Vanilla Milk and Raspberry shower gel is part of a range of ...  Read the complete review

As someone who has adored beauty products for over 30 years, I am in my element when I try out something new. I'm not normally keen on the aroma of vanilla especially as my previous experiences have been somewhat negative with its scent being sickly and artificial. A couple of months ago I fell in love with Original Source's Vanilla and Raspberry Hand Wash, which surprised me. Consequently, I decided to make a purchase of the shower gel in the same aroma and this review discusses my thoughts. The 250 ml of shower gel is presented in an almost triangular shaped opaque bottle, which enables us to witness the pastel pink contents. The bottle neatly sits on ...  Read the complete review

===Standing Up For What I Want === It's been nearly three years now since my daughter set up home on her own, leaving me as the sole female in the household for the first time in my life I suppose. The changes that brought were at many different levels, but perhaps the most subtle have been in the area of toiletries. I think it was just after Christmas that it hit me, having received some of the usual toiletries work colleagues seem to like to give each other as a safe bet. I thought 'No use putting that in the downstairs cloakroom - the scent is too girly' or words to that effect. With a touch of resentment I realised that I couldn't find the lovely ...  Read the complete review

As I have written before, I really like Original Source's shower gels. I love the modern, bright packaging and the fact that everything seems quite natural, as their scents are almost always based on fruit. PACKAGING This Vanilla Raspberry shower gel comes in the usual Original Source packaging - a sturdy plastic bottle with a black lid that is quite triangular in shape. The shower gel inside is a very pale pink colour so this does appear quite girly. The blurb on the bottle says that it took 82 British sunrises to get the raspberries for the shower gel - adding to the cutesiness of the packaging. SCENT While I prefer ...  Read the complete review

After being a huge fan of the Original Source vanilla and raspberry hand wash and seeing the same fragrance in a shower cream, I had to pick it up and give it a go. The Original Source vanilla and raspberry shower cream is widely available from places like Boots and supermarkets. A 250ml bottle will cost around £2.20 depending on where you buy it from. Original Source products are well known for being packed full of natural stuff and this vanilla and raspberry is exactly the same. The packaging boasts 'we've waited 82 British sunrises for these raspberries to ripen before we squeezed them with vanilla milk into this recyclable bottle'. The bottle ...  Read the complete review
