Advantages: Smells divine, not a bad price, good quality

Disadvantages: None

I used to think of Marks and Spencer as being too expensive, both on clothes and the essentials, but not any more. I've become an addict to some of their clothing collections and even the toiletries. The selection of shower gels, bath cremes and lotions they have is huge and the prices are a little surprising too.

The latest Shower Gel I picked up in store recently was a new one, Watermint. It caught my eye as it's a gorgeous deep greeny turquoise colour. Usually I love the smell of these colour products, like The Body Shop's Oceanus or Boots spa range.

The bottle is an upside down one, so all the product falls to the bottom, so you don't waste any. There is no hook on the bottle however so you can't hang it up. It looks quite stylish in the bathroom however, as the design is simple and sophisticated. The gel comes in a standard size, 250ml and is only £1.

I use my shower gels not only in the shower, but in the bath too. I can't see the point in having a bubble bath and shower gel in use at the same time, I already have far too many bottles of lotions and potions clogging up my bathroom shelves! Luckily this little product is great at multitasking!

Used as a shower gel a little of this gives a really good lather and the smell is to die for. I can't really describe it, it's just very fresh and crisp smelling. I don't like toiletries that have to much of a heady fragrance and this was just right.

Used in the bath, it does give off quite a few bubbles too, a good amount considering it's not really a bubble bath. Again the smell is just nice, as you get more time to take it in, having a bath I guess.

The shower gel left me feeling clean and refreshed. For £1, I guess you could get an own brand Tesco, Superdrug or Boots shower gel for less but I think this is a better quality with a unique fragrance. I'd liken it to the Original Source ones that are a lot more expensive, I'll be buying this again, or even pick the matching products and give as a gift.

Summary: Great bubbles for a pressie or for yourself!
