  • Treacle Moon’s Marshmallow Hearts Shower & Bath Gel

    The great thing about shopping in a supermarket is you literally can pick up anything. It’s the perfect place to grab your daily essentials, like bath and shower products. In 2019, I started to use products from a company called Treacle Moon, which became a very handy discovery when I found their products on a shelf in my local Tesco. On of the purchases I tried out was Marshmallow Hearts Shower & Bath Gel. It was £3.00 but was on a half price promotion for £1.50.

    Why did I buy this?

    I never tried Treacle Moon products before until I received them as gifts for my birthday and Christmas. I really enjoying using them. So I opted to purchase Marshmallow Hearts because I really wanted a product to use in both the shower and bath. Plus I had a feeling I would love how this smelt so fragrance side appealed to me.

    Packaging

    500ml of shower and bath gel lives in a plastic bottle with a flip top lid. It’s clear, labeling is super cute with an illustration of a jar of heart shaped marshmallows on it. Plus there’s a paragraph giving you an imaginative description of what the scent of this gel is like.

    Look & Consistency

    Although this is a gel it isn’t the typical gel you would think of. This is pale pink in colour, not transparent, so makes me think this is more like a bath or shower cream. Consistency is a thick liquid, which is what you would expect from this type of product.

    Fragrance

    The fragrance of Treacle Moon’s Marshmallow Hearts is creamy and sweetie like. A mix of marshmallows, milk bottle sweets with a hint of strawberry milkshake and this is the best way I can describe how this smells to me. This could easily be too sweet and synthetic like in scent but it isn’t. It gives you enough sweetness to keep your nostrils happy but not so much you think you will suffer from diabetes!

    In the shower & bath

    I use this product in both shower and bath equally. In the shower on a sponge it lathered up quickly and produced a lot of foam. In the bath I needed very little and the amount of foam produced by two squirts under warm running water was insane! Full, light, airy, white in colour and long lasting.

    On the skin

    This cleaned the skin on my body well, left a faint scent to it but not long lasting so no lingering. My skin felt and looked normal after use e.g skin didn’t dried out, irritated, sticky etc.

    Recommended?

    Yes! What I love about this is it’s a little different in look packaging wise compared to similar products on the same shelf, which makes it stand out. In regards to the scent, these types of scents are popular but this is a great version and will hold its own compared to others. I really enjoyed using this. It provided a quick, easy and effective shower in the morning and a relaxing, soothing bath in the evening.

    This is great for all the family to use as the scent will appeal from the youngest member of the household to the oldest. When I bought this originally it was half price ( £1.50 ), but worthwhile checking special offers as they regularly crop up (Tesco and Waitrose stock Treacle Moon).

    If you can’t head down to your local store you can buy their products direct from Treacle Moon themselves here. Go on treat yourself…its affordable!x

  • Perfect for Summer, SBC’s Refreshing Watermelon Shower Gel & Shampoo

    Finally we are getting a taste of Summer! It’s warm, bright and dry in the UK. Warmer weather means my skin and body care products sometimes change. Lighter textures, fruiter fragrances and quicker and easier applications is definitely a Summer thing when choosing what I use on myself! One of my favourite products sitting in my bathroom at the moment is SBC‘s Refreshing Watermelon Shower Gel & Shampoo. I bought this a few months ago in a set from the shopping channel QVC. Tt was sold at a special price known as a Today’s Special Value.

    What is this?

    A whopping 1ltre size of a 2in1 shower gel and shampoo formulation. Housed in a pump action dispenser making it super easy to use.

    Appearance & Consistency

    Red in colour, semi opaque and is of the typical thickness you would expect from a shower gel or foaming/bubble bath product.

    Fragrance

    This smells gorgeous! Watermelon is an odd scent as I don’t think it’s specific enough in regards to how it smells, or at least the actual fruit isn’t. But this version is fruity and berry based, sweet although not sugary and sickly. A perfect fragrance for me and perfect for Summer!

    In the shower & bath

    I used this in the shower and found I didn’t need to use much. One pump on a sponge, mixed with water made this lather up so well and easily washed my whole body. In the bath I used a few pumps, and the amount of foam produced was a lot. This created a very foamy and fragrant bathing experience!

    On the skin

    One thing I noticed with this product was my skin felt very clean after using without drying it out. It left a faint scent to my skin which was pleasant and enjoyable to smell.

    Family

    My son uses this in the shower. He’s at an awkward age where bathing isn’t top of his priority list. Although he does it, he wants it over and done with as quick as possible. But he likes using this because of how much it foams and how it smells. So this product isn’t just for the adults in the family!

    As a shampoo

    This is a bath, shower and shampoo product. But I can’t comment on how this performs on hair. I haven’t used this as a shampoo on my hair or children’s. But its good to know it’s a multi-functional product.
