Advantages: Cheap, nice consistency

Disadvantages: More suitable for baths than showers

This is a Sainsburys own brand shower gel. Although it is not in their basics range it comes at a budget price of 99p for 250ml.

The bottle itself is well designed with a tube effect. The lid is also the base which it stands on, this flips up and you squeeze the bottle to get the shower gel out. This works very well in the bath but with there being no hook the bottle would get very wet in the shower. The product does come out the bottle in a smooth manner and it is very easy to get the right amount of the shower gel. The labeling is basic but does not look cheap and tacky, I don't mind people seeing it at the end of my bath.

The shower gel is very smooth and is quite thick so doesn't run through your fingers as you use it. You have to work quite hard to get a lather up but you can get quite a lot from a small amount of product.

The scent is subtle and is not too overpowering on your skin. That said it does smell georgeous. The blueberry scent has a very sweet undertone which really comes out as you use it but dies away quickly meaning it will not interfere with any aftershave/perfume you may wear. I find the balance perfect.

This shower gel bursts out of the budget range and is far better than some premium products I have purchased.

Summary: A budget shower gel which performs like a premium
