Radox Citrus Fragrances Review

Though they have not been around very long the New Radox Citrus Fragrances have already been crowned "Best New Shower Product" at the Pure Beauty Awards 2013. The new collection comprises of three shower gels in Energise -Key Lime and Peppermint, Revive - Mandarin and Lemongrass, and Uplift - Pink Grapefruit and Basil. 






I found these on offer at Boots and decided to give them a try after having a sniff. I did consider trying them one at a time, but then I  thought suppose they do not go on offer anywhere else for a long time since they are new products. I purchased them all for 99p each, at a bargain of 50% off. Let me tell you Radox has definitely hit it out of the park with these fragrances. They are perfect for these chilly autumn mornings when I have to contemplate whether or not I want to leave the warmth of my bed much less venture outside. 


The Uplift - Pink Grapefruit and Basil is my personal favourite, the sharpness of the grapefruit was an instant love for me. 


My second favourite is the Revive - Mandarin and Lemon grass. 


The third fragrance Energise -Key Lime  and Peppermint I can take it or leave it. The citrus scents does not come through as strong as it does in the other two shower gels. However I do think that the guys would love the Energise, for that same reason the scent is there but not as pungent. 

Would I buy full prices? - Yes 
Would I recommend? - Yes 
Would I repurchase? - Yes

Winter Skincare Series - Shower Creams

        For the winter months I am a very big fan of using shower creams. Shower creams are similar to shower gels/body washes but they contain more moisturisers. Some of the shower creams which I have in my skincare arsenal are listed below. For those who live in frostier climates (like myself, the first snow has fallen already).  Shower creams are a great way to keep your skin nourished during the winter months. Remember your skin is your largest organ.

 Dove Go Fresh Body washes (containing 1/4 moisturisers  Pomegranate & Verbena, Grapefruit and Lemongrass, Plum and Sakura Blossom, Cucumber and Green tea. 












 Radox shower creams Coconut Kiss and Berry Burst - these are the newest additions to the Radox shower cream family. Readily available at most supermarkets and  chemists.

Perfect Pairings - Citrus Scents

These are just a few items from different ranges which I think complement each other scent wise. It can be so easy to get caught up and buy the whole range of product just for the smell. while I do love a bit of layering sometimes you do not have to break the bank to smell fabulous.







Dove go fresh Grapefruit and Lemongrass body wash (The original shower cream)
L'occitane Verbena Extra Gentle Soap (this is a huge bar which can easily be cut in two halves, to extend the life.)

The Body Shop Satsuma body butter - the smell of this goes a longgggggggggggg way, so use sparingly, the satsuma oil nourishes and relieves dry skin quite well. Be careful not to use this with the Lynx chocolate body wash or else you will wind up smelling like a confused Chocolate Orange. lol lol
