New additions to the Treacle Moon family





If you're an avid reader of my blog then you'll know that I'm absolutely addicted to Treacle Moon's Bath and Shower Gels. In terms of formula, the gels can't be faulted. They lather up nicely, leave the skin feeling balanced and provide a pleasurable bathing experience. As the name suggests, the product can be used as a bubble bath, or a shower gel and the formula works perfectly for both. Recently, the brand has released three new scents to its ever growing range, and I couldn't wait to get my mitts on them.

Dusted Cocoa Dreams* is even more delicious than it sounds. It smells exactly like chocolate. I've just dried myself off after using this as a bubble bath and the scent is lingering beautifully. It reminds me of the Frijj chocolate milkshakes and it's without a doubt my favourite of the bunch.

Next up is the latest addition to the brand's Candy Jar range. Sugared Almonds* is perfect for me because I absolutely adore almonds. This shower gel is basically a cherry bakewell bottled up. It's sweet, sugary and almost good enough to eat.

Finally is Warm Apple Pie Days*. A perfectly balanced shower gel. The scent is homely and cosy and I believe it's going to be perfect in winter. The blend of sweet/sour apples with a warm pie creates the most scrumptiously scented shower gel.

These shower gels retail for the bargain price of £2.99 each. They're available to buy in Tesco now.

Have you tried these shower gels before? Will you be doing so?

Treacle Moon The Candy Jar collection


You have no idea how excited I am to be writing this blog post. I've expressed my love for Treacle Moon shower gels countless times before and I almost nearly died when I saw their latest collection. Inspired by our sweet shop favourites, Treacle Moon have created four memory evoking scented bath and shower gels. I mean, can this collection get any more perfect?

The Candy Jar collection comes in four different scents: Marshmallow Hearts*, Sweet Lime Sherbet*, Original Toffee Bon Bon* and one that isn't pictured, Ice Cream Soda. I mentioned Treacle Moon shower gels in my superior shower gels post but in case you haven't seen that, I'll just say how perfect the formula is. They lather up beautifully, leave the skin feeling silky smooth and the scent lingers on the skin once washed off. I don't even think I need to begin to explain how gorgeous these smell. They've been passed around the family and we're all addicted to them. They smell exactly like they're described as smelling and the Page family firm favourite is... Marshmallow Hearts. It's sweet, girly and extremely delicious.

I also believe that Sweet Lime Sherbet is a dupe for the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush body wash and Original Toffee Bon Bon is a dupe for the Philosophy Christmas Cookie Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath. Not bad, ey?

The bath and shower gels are exclusive to Tesco and they retail for just £2.99 each. I'd definitely recommend having a sniff next time you're shopping in Tesco. If you do pick one up, pop one in the bath and let the sweet scented bubbles wash over you. Perfection.

Which scent appeals to you the most? Have you had a sniff of these yet?

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?

REVIEW: Treacle Moon Warm Cinnamon Nights Shower Gel

That's right, my essay is now complete! So that means that regular posting is back. I won't be able to post 6 days a week like I was doing before Christmas but I should be able to post 2-3 times a week which I am so excited about! And for me, there's no way to restart regular posting than posting about my favourite shower gel which got is getting me through these cold nights...
It is of course a shower gel by Treacle Moon. I've mentioned this brand a few times on my blog and it's one that I adore. I'm a big fan of shower gels (I currently have around 12 in my shower alone) as I love changing the scent all the time but I've found myself standing by this one for a good few weeks now. This is yet another special edition shower gel that was created by the fans via a monthly competition on the brand's website. So if you're as obsessed with shower gel scents as I am, it's definitely worth checking out their website and Facebook page to make sure that you can pick Treacle Moon's next delicious scent. 
The Warm Cinnamon Nights shower gel* contains warming cinnamon, spicy clove, syrupy ginger, vanilla, a drizzle of sweet honey, zesty orange and a hint of comforting stewed apple. It is the perfect winter scent that envelopes your body in yummyness! The quality of the shower gel is also spot on - it lathers up nicely, moisturises dry winter skin and the scent lingers on the skin.
You can buy this shower gel in Tesco and it retails for just £2.99 for a massive 500ml!

REVIEW: Treacle Moon Her Mango Thoughts Body Butter

Back in July, Treacle Moon released a brand new scent to their already beautiful collection. For the past year, the people behind Treacle Moon have been developing the fragrance of Her Mango Thoughts* and they describe it as 'A deliciously tropical scent, revolving around the ripe, sweet notes of mango juice, accentuated by exotic, citrus fruit bursts and softened by creamy hints of apricot and peach.'
I've been using this body butter for a while now and I love it. It's deeply moisturising, more moisturising than some of their other products that I've tried so I'd definitely recommend this for dry skin. I've been using it before fake tanning and it's applied my fake tan lovely. Once again, because it's so moisturising. The smell is of course divine. It's very fresh and for summer, it's been perfect. It'll also see me through winter and perk up those rainy days! This scent is also available in a bath & shower gel (£2.99 for 500ml) and this body butter retails at £3.99 for 250ml. This range along with their others (My Coconut Island, The Raspberry Kiss, That Vanilla Moment, Those Lemonade Days, One Ginger Morning, The Pomegranate Story and Iced Strawberry Dreams) is available exclusively at Tesco now. You can find out more about their products and the brand here.

Treacle Moon Iced Strawberry Dream Bath & Shower Gel

I definitely have an obsession with shower gels. I don't like using the same one daily and I like a variety of scents in my bathroom. So when this found its way into my post box, I was over the moon (get the pun)?! 
This shower gel was chosen by fans of the brand who submitted fragrance suggestions each month as part of Treacle Moon's regular competition on their website and then voted on on Treacle Moon's Facebook page. This smell is so beautiful. It's almost a shame that you cannot eat it. It's succulent, juice and mouth watering and better yet, the scent lingers beautifully on the skin and wraps the skin up in a delicious moisturising blanket of pure sweetness! I absolutely adore this shower gel and it's definitely found its way permanently in my shower. Treacle Moon are planning on running the amazing vote for your own fragrance process twice yearly from now on so make sure you like them on Facebook so you can create the products that you want. This bath and shower gel is priced at £2.99 for 500ml and it's available in Tesco stores nationwide right now!
