I have a love/hate relationship with pineapple, truth be told. I was a big pineapple lover until a flight in Asia where I became ill after eating pineapple (I think it was the actual flying and not the pineapple that made me sick!) and from that moment on I've proceeded with caution at the thought of that horrendous experience. I think that I need to toughen up and this is definitely the shower gel to get me back into camp pineapple!
All of the Original Source shower gels I've tried are dead set incredible - my favourite was definitely the limited edition Chocolate Mint one, but the Lime and Lemon scents are staples in our bathroom cupboards. The XXX Black Mint one is a bit too tingly for the nether region (TMI?) so the Bovary household tends to steer well clear of that one!
This Tropical Pineapple scent is definitely up there with the best and the fact that it is vegan, has a natural fragrance and is made in the UK means it is a hit with me! The only downside is that it really makes me crave those pineapple lollies from the milk bar (and I don't even normally eat those!)
You can check out the Original Source range here and buy a bottle for yourself from Coles - it's limited edition though, so be quick!
What scents do you gravitate towards for shower gel? Are you a fruity-scent lover or prefer a creamy shea butter base?

*This bottle was purchased by me while doing the groceries - it's a well known fact that the beauty aisle in a supermarket counts as groceries and not a beauty buy ;)
LOL @ "glowing beacon of tropical deliciousness"!
ReplyDeleteI get how you feel. I had an ill moment with tomatoes while on a trip during high school and it was a few years before I could eat raw tomatoes again without turning green. *mumbles something about tequila too*
I love monoi things as my own beacon of tropics during cold weather! And when it's actually hot, I turn to minty or lemony things. Never really got into pineapple and I don't see too many pineapple scented things here!
Haha what can I say, that line flowed naturally once I'd used this! LOL tequila, yup that is me with vodka no thank you ma'am.
DeleteI don't even know what monoi is but it sounds luxe and tropical? Perhaps not in my side of the world but maybe I will spot something monoi when I go to Hawaii?
Hahaha I totally get that! I remember getting sick after my favourite Korean Restaurant and stayed away fro YEARS because of that. It wasn't the food, it was the smells. And I was pregnant at the time.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind fruity tropical shower gels in the summer! This sounds nice!
Ohh I'm nervous about what I'll be turned off when I am pregnant - it will probably make me hate delicious things like coffee and cheese ah!
DeleteOooh I haven't seen this one! I absolutely love their mint and lime ones; they're so good! I definitely gravitate towards fruity or marine scents.
ReplyDeleteIt's very new and limited edition! I love their lime one, mmm mmm makes me crave lime soft drink all the time
Deleteahhh I love original source! I just finished the xxx mint one and yes its tingly for me too but I still use it but am careful haha however the man creature is scared of using that one now! haven't seen this one yet at my coles hopefully will soon http://maybemayhemmakeup.blogspot.com.au/
ReplyDeleteHaha good to know it isn't just me who finds it tingly!
DeleteMm yum I wanna try this! xx
ReplyDeleteit's so delish but makes me want summer or a holiday so bad
DeleteSounds like it would smell absolutely divine :)
ReplyDeleteI have a problem with watermelon (and also things that have a watermelon scent) :P
The thing is that I used to LOVE watermelon and I ate it all the time.. until I came home from the grocery store and was going to eat my newly bought watermelon and found it to be old and gooey.
It did not look that way in the store because of the wrapping around the watermelon but as I removed it long, slimey, gelé like strings came out from the watermelon and I decided that I would NEVER eat watermelon ever again ;)
xx
It smells pretty awesome! Ohhh totally feel you on the off watermelon situation, that has happened to me before too.
DeleteYum! Have to keep an eye out for this. I freaking love OS shower gels!
ReplyDeleteThey are seriously amazing at what they do!
