Original Source Skin Quench & Body Scrub

Whenever I’m in need of some self-pampering, I always find myself being drawn to the body lotion / shower gel aisle of my local drugstore. Much to my surprise, I noticed Original Source had launched new shower gels.

I’m a die-hard fan of Original Source and their amazingly scented shower gels, so these really caught my eye. The new Skin Quench range, which is all vegan, is packed with natural soft oil beads that contain moisturising oils that burst onto your skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.

Original Source Skin Quench & Daily Scrub

I bought the Watermelon & Jojoba Oil and the Blackcurrant & Moringa Oil moisturising shower gels, pretty much because I couldn’t choose between them. The fragrance is amazing and even after a quick shower, it leaves your skin smelling like a dessert. I absolutely love it.

This time around I also brought with me the Daily Scrub in Blood Orange. It smells immense and it definitely leaves your skin feeling smoother. I wouldn’t mind if it contained more exfoliating beads though.

Have you tried these new shower gels? Which one is your favourite?

Crazy Rumors Lip Balm: Soda Pop Cola

I’ve recently bought this Crazy Rumors lip balm and I’ve got to say I’m well impressed. I went for the Soda Pop collection, it was hard to choose between these fun, fizzy flavours: Black Cherry, Root Beer, Cola and Ginger Ale. I went for the Cola flavour!

Essentials: Travel Toiletries

It’s that time of the year again, summer holidays! Pete and I are jetting off to Paris for the remainder of the week. Well, not literally as we’ll be taking the Eurostar this time.

One of the things I enjoy the most is planning for trips and I’ve got to say, there’s something about going to the drugstore and buying all the essentials for your upcoming holiday… you know, the anticipation!

Here’s what’s in my travel bag…
