Supermarkets, love them or hate them, are the one place most of us visit regularly. Not only do we make our food purchases from them, but we also pick up our everyday toiletries including bath and body products. A new item I added to my collection is Treacle Moon’s The Gingerbread Unicorn Shower and Bath Gel. I bought this from Tesco. Usually £1.95 but at the time of writing this post it was down to £1.65 (Clubcard promotion).
Why did I buy this?
I’ve bought Treacle Moon products before and really enjoyed them, but I haven’t tried anything new from this brand for awhile. When I spotted The Gingerbread Unicorn Shower and Bath Gel it interested me. I gave it a sniff and thought it smelt so nice and totally different to other shower and bath products I already owned. And of course the price made this a winner too!
Packaging
Nothing unusual as it comes in a plastic clear bottle. What I do like is the unicorn prints on it, which look like they are made from gingerbread. It looks fun, doesn’t look like a cheap bath/shower product at all and would look nice in any bathroom.
The shower & bath gel
This is a similar colour to set honey or even custard. Consistency is no different to any other shower or bath gel as it’s thick but liquid and very shiny.
Fragrance
This smells like a toned down spicy and warming ginger. And do you know what else I THINK I can smell? Cream soda! I know that sounds crazy but this is the best way I can describe how this smells, ginger meets cream soda. And it’s a beauty!
In the bath
I gave a generous squirt of The Gingerbread Unicorn Shower and Bath Gel under warm running water and it quickly produced bubbles. Lots of them in fact! The water didn’t change colour but it was covered in light and fluffy white, airy bubbles which I couldn’t wait to get into. The fragrance was there, although subtle. Since it wasn’t strong it was actually very comforting and relaxing because it wasn’t heady. But me being me I would love this to be stronger.
This produced a great bath which I enjoyed. The bubbles lasted well, the fragrance was in the background which smelt beautiful and I spent so much time in the bath I nearly drowned! Skin felt fresh, clean and not dried out when I got out and once dried ready to start the next stage in my body care routine.
Recommended?
Bath and shower gels aren’t ground breaking, we use them everyday. But I love this one! Why? The fragrance is different, not the typical scent you get on a supermarket shelf and that’s why I really like this. It produces a great amount of bubbles, the perfect 500ml size for family use in the shower and bath and it’s not expensive. So why would I NOT recommend this? The Treacle Moon range is available from Tesco, ASDA, Waitrose and direct from Treacle Moon themselves. But just a warning, this is limited edition. So grab it while you can if this sounds like something perfect for your bathroom.
