Original Source Mango and Macadamia

As a stocking filler for Christmas I got some Original Source Mango and Macadamia Nourishing Shower Smoothie - that's an awfully long name for a bit of shower gel! Anyway I have now tried it so I thought I had better tell you about rather than keeping it to myself. The Packaging Well this is really unusual so I thought I should try and describe it even though some of you don't want to know about the packaging. If this is you then just skip to the next bit - I won't tell anyone honestly! Well this stuff comes in a plastic container which looks like a big sachet with a piece of extra plastic inserted into the base and with the ...  Read the complete review

For people who read my reviews they will know I have a thing about shower gels or creams, to the point that a while ago the other half put his foot down and declared "No more!" So I have been trying to cut down and finish up all the half empty bottles but occasionally I do slip and this one that I am reviewing is one of those little slips. I don't know why I was drawn to this one because I really haven't had a good experience with original source bath products; they have always been a bit of a let down, so will this one be any different? COMPANY HISTORY Original source has been around a while and the company state that they only use 100% ...  Read the complete review

My first contact with Original Source products came through my door as a freebie and it was the Mint shower gel which made me tingle as I used it for the very first time. From there on in I have become quite a fan of the Original Source products and every time I happen to notice something new, I don't hesitate in buying it. When I was browsing in Superdrug a few days ago I happened to come across Original Source Mango and Macadamia shower smoothie which immediately stood out to me having not seen it before and priced at £1.97 with a BOGOF offer I decided to purchase two and try them out. The one notable thing from this particular product is the ...  Read the complete review

I have been using Porridge Soap by Lush, which is lovely, but contains a lot of oats which tend to stick to my skin, meaning it's not ideal for shaving. I decided to start using one of my many shower gels for shaving my legs, and chose Original Source's Mango and Macadamia Shower Smoothie, which I purchased a couple of months ago. The back of the pack tells me that this shower gel (or smoothie) is 'packed with natural stuff.' It contains mango a natural source of vitamins and minerals and macadamia which is known to smooth and soften the skin. It is also approved by the Vegan society. The packaging of this product is very unusual, and hard to ...  Read the complete review

I'm a real fan of the Original Source shower gels, I think I love them because they do really seem get it bang on when they do their different varieties. For example my personal favourite is the Lime variety and you really couldn't get a more limey and zingy and invigorating lime shower gel if you tried. Sure, there have been a few that I have not been as keen on but that it usually becase I am not all that keen on those smells anyway - e.g tea tree, however generally I think they stand head and shoulders above all other brands of shower gel. Having said that I haven't really tried any Lush products, I am almost to scared to open that door because I just know I will ...  Read the complete review
