The thing that I love about bath and shower products, such as a bath soak or shower gel, is there’s so much choice! Not just choice in regards to fragrance but also price points too. You could literally spend pennies on the cheapest supermarket own brand formulation or go credit card crazy on the most expensive stuff from a department store. But how about meeting in the middle price point wise? Let me introduce to you Beauty Laundrette’s Cotton Smooth Micellar Body Wash. I bought this last year from Superdrug. Normally £6.00 for 275ml, I grabbed this when it was half price.
Why did I buy this?
I bought a few things from this brand because it was a new range to me at the time. The packaging was different and stood out, good mix of products available and priced very well. This body wash I thought could be used by myself and other members of the family in both bath and shower. And to be honest, it just looked and sounded so appealing!
Packaging
I love the overall style of this range and I like how this body wash is packaged. 275ml lives in a soft pink coloured plastic bottle with contrasting red lettering on front and back. It’s not typical in shape. It’s narrow in depth, decent height with sightly rounded edges close to the top and bottom. Pump dispenser top which makes using product easy and controlled. This looks great, modern and cute. But doesn’t come across too young, so I don’t feel it’s just going to target a younger market.
Fragrance
A beautiful slightly sweetened white floral fragrance. Fresh, Spring/Summer type of vibe and not old fashioned in anyway, shape or form. Florals can be dated in scent but this is pretty and pleasant on the nose.
In Use
I use this both in the shower and bath. In the shower, with my trusty sponge, it lathers up well. Nice to use, effective in cleaning my body and the light fragrance is enjoyable to smell.
In the bath, I won’t lie, I’m very generous when it comes to how many pumps of this I use. I’m just not a sparing person when it comes to bath soaks, bath gels, creams etc. But regardless of how many pumps of this I use under warm running water, this creates plenty of bubbles which stay in tact and are present for most of my bathing experience (min 20 minutes in the tub). Fragrance is there as it is in the shower. Now, if I had to choose between a powerful fragrance or a subtle one, I would probably go powerful. BUT there are times I can’t and don’t want that. Soft but there fragrance definitely describes this one. It’s noticeable but gentle, and great when you don’t want a plain smelling bath but can’t be bombarded with strong scents.
This product didn’t dry out my skin or irritate it. I also noticed the fragrance wasn’t sitting on my skin after use either.
Recommended?
I like this body wash for quite a few reasons. The packaging looks great and is practical. It’s good for all the family to use and no one in theory will overuse it thanks to the pump. The scent is pretty but clean and light. And when I say this is a blessing when you don’t feel well and your sense of smell is heightened or head is sensitive, I mean it. Plus this works well in both shower and bath and creates bubbles, so what more do you need?
Recommended? Yes! Is it the cheapest on the market for a body wash? No, but it’s also not the most expensive either. If this sounds like something you want in your bathroom, always keep an eye out for when this is on special offer. Currently at time of writing this there’s 1/3 off the whole Beauty Laundrette range at Superdrug, including their Detox Dip Bath Fizzer which I adore! So go treat yourself and save some pennies here!
