BODY | The superior shower gels


A girl can never have too many shower gels. I absolutely adore these little bundles of joy. The smell of them, enveloping my skin in yummy deliciousness. If I'm ever out and about shopping, one product that will always come home with me is a shower gel. There are so many different varieties out there that it would be rude to stick to the same one. However, there are a few bottles of these divine beauties that continue to make a cheeky regular appearance in my shower.

I've tried many of the Treacle Moon shower gels before and none of them have let me down. The scents are delicious and the quality and amount of product you get for £2.99 is outstanding. I'd highly recommend picking up a few of these next time you're in Tesco. The limited edition Cool Melon Fresca contains cool melon notes and delicious strawberry's which transport you to a hot summers day by the pool. The scent is sweet, refreshing and lingers on the skin perfectly. Melon margaritas anyone?

I'll never forget the moment when I first sniffed this beauty. I was at work, it was quiet and I found myself admiring the beautiful Soap & Glory display. This product was new back then and I was intrigued by it. I unscrewed the lid and after a whiff of this found its way up my nose, I was in love. This body wash smells like citrus and it's just what you need to wake you up in the morning. The Soap & Glory shower gels on the whole are wonderful products - nicely priced and good quality.

Sanex Dermo Repair Dry Skin Shower Cream* - £2.99
A lot of daily routines can damage the skin and leave it dehydrated. Luckily for us, these new shower creams from Sanex help to repair the damage to leave us with healthy, silky-smooth skin. This shower cream is my "go-to product" when my skin is feeling a little bit irritated - particularly after shaving and prolonged sun exposure. It doesn't have a noticeable scent but it smells fresh and clean. It's also wonderful at adding moisture to the skin so perfect pre-fake tanning. 

Just looking at this shower gel makes me happy. It smells absolutely beautiful. With extracts of strawberry and apricot, this shower gel wraps your skin in an enchanting fragrance. The fragrance is very rich and prominent and it lingers on your skin after you've washed it off. The formula is nice and softening and adds moisture to the skin. Palmolive claim that this shower gel encourages a brighter complexion too which is something that I definitely can't complain about.

When it comes to LUSH, there aren't many products that are marketed for the shower. And being a university student living in halls, I only have a shower (although next year, I'll be stocking up on Bath Ballistics as I finally have a bath - woohooo!). So one day I popped into LUSH with my darling sister and spotted the Shower Jellies. When my sister first moved to university, I treated her to one of these and she loved it. As soon as I sniffed the one in Sweetie Pie, I was sold. It smells good enough to eat and has beautiful glitter inside of it - I feel like a princess.

So these are my "top five shower gels." The prestigious ones. The best of the best. And they're all nicely priced. When I look for a shower gel, I look for one that smells delicious, is great value for money and doesn't dry the skin out or strip it of its natural moisture. All of these fit that bill and that's why they're without a doubt my favourite.

What's your favourite shower gel? Have you tried any of the ones above?

Mini Boots & Lush Haul

Today I got paid after having no money for the past month and seeing as I've done well in my last 3 assignments, I thought I'd treat myself to a few things.
 It's 3 for 2 on all make up at the moment and I was in need of a new foundation. I love my high end foundations but I've been using them daily and I just can't afford to do that any more. I've read some good reviews on the 17 Miracle Matte foundation and I can't wait to give it a try. I also picked up a 17 Pressed Powder. I had a voucher for a free 17 Shine Control Pressed Powder but unfortunately, they didn't have any in and I didn't want to wait. I've popped this one on though it does control shine pretty well. It also adds more coverage which is what I'm after because I'm not happy with my skin at the minute. And finally, I picked up a darker Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer as I've been applying fake tan and my usual one is too light for me. I also bought some Sanex deodorant for my sister (which came to 93p instead of £2.35) and some Boots Smile toothpaste as I had a voucher for it. But I don't think they're interesting enough to show!
Finally, I nipped into Lush. It's been a while since I've been in Lush and I'd forgotten how beautiful it smells. Me and my sister are going home soon so I thought I'd treat us both to a bath bomb each. I'll also do reviews of them both when we use them. For myself I got the Fluffy Egg bath ballistic which reminds me of the smell of Snow Fairy which I love so much! And for my sister, I  bought Butterball as it smells of vanilla which is her favourite scent.
What have you been buying recently? Are you loving the weather?
