Team Korres!

Another vote for ditching shower gel and going down the bar of soap route.

Shower gel isn't great at getting your armpits properly clean either.

Highhorse1981 · 23/03/2018 12:34

Original Source mint -

Avoid. Dirt cheap and smells it too

Clarins. Really lovely.

TakeMeToTheFresh · 23/03/2018 12:41

Yet another vote for Badedas (I can never spell it correctly?)

So invigorating and I just love love love the smell. I can understand it being an acquired taste though.

You use less, too.

I think I paid £1.70 for it in Boots yesterday. It's currently on offer Smile

thenightsky · 23/03/2018 12:42

Ah... came on to say Badedas, but see its already been mentioned Grin

2kidsnopets · 23/03/2018 12:49

Haven't rtft but if no one has mentioned it then Origins ginger body wash is lovely. I can't justify the price so it's only as presents for me and I ration it.

MiniTheMinx · 23/03/2018 12:51

There isn't a shower gel in the world that makes me want to get out of bed at 5am, but I do. And I like soap, preferably pears.

Zoflorabore · 23/03/2018 14:12

Why the fuck have I never heard of Badedas?

How is it even pronounced? I feel like it says Adidas with a B at the front Grin

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 23/03/2018 14:26

BodyShop Pink Grapefruit or the Absinthe (which is a handwash but I use as a showergel)

I have 4 Korres bottles ( M&S bargain Grin ) but I'm saving them till I've finished the others.
Waitrose Ginger Clementine and LimeBasil are nice (I have bathsoak though not showergel)

Original Source is often on offer for £1 , the lemony one is lovely.

Ba-day-das (I am old, I remember the adverts) Things happen after a Badedas bath..................Hmm yes, spend 20 minutes scrubbing the lurid green off everything .

Snugglepiggy · 23/03/2018 14:30

I love all the Korres shower gels but the Lime Basil is a brilliant one to wake you up.Also love the Fig one.

sparklepops123 · 23/03/2018 14:32

Original source also do a body foam

Snugglepiggy · 23/03/2018 14:32

Although meant to say feeling guilty about the plastic bottles lately and keep meaning to try the Lush shower bars.Can anyone recommend any in particular?

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 23/03/2018 17:02

Original source also do a body foam

Ohh , I've just searched this up.....
Pineapple, Lemon/Lime , Orange Grin

Adds to list .

AlistairAppletonssexyscarf · 23/03/2018 17:04

I loathe Badedas. Reminds me of Fairy liquid.

sparklepops123 · 23/03/2018 17:31

The original source body foam is really nice I try to stock up when on offer

cambodianfoxhound · 24/03/2018 01:47

That is exactly how I pronounce it

TheCatofAthenry · 24/03/2018 02:03

Amphetamine 2 in 1 (scrub and beverage)

Coca leaf extract nasal rinse

Clandestino · 24/03/2018 07:17

Lush rose gel.

GinisLife · 24/03/2018 08:03

Radox eucalyptus £1 !!

Where do you buy Badedas ?

Pears soap makes me smell horrid ! I must react with it

MiniTheMinx · 24/03/2018 08:08

Perhaps I smell horrid Grin I certainly don't get bitten by mozzys.

What is coca leaf nasal rinse?

flugelhorn3 · 24/03/2018 08:11

The Waitrose own brand ones are really nice - I like lime and basil and the sandalwood one. They're often on offer too!

Middleoftheroad · 24/03/2018 08:17

Imperial Leather Foamburst cherry blossom and vanilla.

Just a little is really foamy!

TheCatofAthenry · 24/03/2018 09:05

@MiniTheMinx I was just making a bad joke about cocaine (which I don't actually use). Blush
