Something new
~~~~~~~~~~
I love trying out new shower gels, so I was pleased to discover this new product from Radox in Wilkinsons recently, priced at under £1. Other variants in the range included cherry (which I also purchased!) and coconut. But this review is for the Fresh and Fruity Berry Burst version. In Boots currently this costs 99p (but is usually £1.99). According to Radox, this contains a "delectable blend of natural ingredients, like creamy milk and sumptuous berries". It is said to leave you fresh and smelling gorgeous!
The packaging is just like other Radox shower gels, except that the colour is bright pink and not see-through. It is very eye-catching packaging and also quite feminine I think.

A bit tarty!
~~~~~~~
Despite the bright packaging, the shower cream inside the bottle is white and very rich and creamy. The smell hits you instantly and it's very sweet. I usually love sweet and fruity scents but I must admit that this is perhaps a bit too full on - I would say it is quite tart and verges on sickly! However, as soon as you start applying this the scent mellow and it becomes much more pleasant.
It's also really rich and lathers up beautifully, making it a pleasure to apply to the skin. It feels like it's really moisturising the skin whilst cleansing it. And after washing this off, my skin felt really smooth, and the smell lingered very nicely.
I also felt that a little went a long way so I think even though this is really cheap, it will also last a long time.

In summary
~~~~~~~~
I really enjoy using this shower gel as I love the rich, creamy texture. It leaves the skin feeling really soft and smooth, and even after drying off my skin feels moisturised. My only slight reservation is that the scent is a little unpleasant when you first dispense this, which does put me off it a little bit - even though the smell does mellow once you apply it.
Summary: A rich and creamy shower treat!
