Advantages: A little goes a long way

Disadvantages: Fragrance does not last

I needed a new showergel and was looking for one by Imperial Leather that a reviewer here had reviewed. However there were none on the shelf and instead picked another gel by the same company. This is called Foamburst - shower & shave with nourishing whipped coca butter and vanilla. I picked this fragrance because I like it. It cost £1.48, but I think this may have been a special offer.

The design is similar to the above picture except the top is slightly different and the bottle goes in a little in the middle. This, I presume, is so it can be held easily.

The product operates by pressing down the top. The gel then squirts out into your hand. It is a gel when it first comes out but after a second or two starts turning into foam.
It is very foamy and I find that one squirt does all my body. If you used a shower puff with this also then it would go even further. The bottle says that it gives 40 + washes which I think is very good.

It says that the rich, creamy lather protects from shaving nicks. I did notice a little difference from normal but not that much.

I like the smell. It seems to be predominantly cocoa butter with a hint of vanilla. It is not strong at all when washing with it. I would prefer it to be perhaps slighty stronger or to last a little longer.

I quite like this showergel however I do have a few qualms with it. Throughout the day when the showergel is just sitting there some of the foam comes out of the nozzle. This wipes away easily though.
Also, on the back of the can is a bright orange sign stating that the product is extremely flammable. This scares me slightly as you do not expect shower gels to be flammable! I think it may be something to do with how it squirts out or perhaps whatever is in it that makes the gel turn into foam, i'm not too sure. Either way it does scare me a little!

The small problems I have with the product however will not put me off purchasing this again sometime in the future because it is very easy to use, has a nice fragrance and does seem to leave my skin slightly softer.

Summary: Nice fragrance
