Shockingly enough, inspiration for this post struck me while I was, get this, in the shower. Now, I really enjoy noseying into what people keep in their medicine cabinets and shower and the like. It's just bizarrely interesting to see what people use on a daily basis so I figured I'd go and show you all what I keep in my shower.
Pink Warm & Cozy 2-in-1 Wash & Scrub: I've mentioned before in my October favorites that I am crazy for this scent so naturally I have it in my shower. This is mostly my every day body wash and it's wonderful. I like that it doubles as a scrub but usually I just pour a bit onto a loofah and lather up.
Skintimate Skin Therapy Lotionized Dry Skin Moisturizing Shave Gel: I'll be honest, I don't use shaving cream very often because I'm pretty lazy when it comes to shaving my legs. Still this shave gel is really nice and moisturizing so it's great for using in the winter, especially.
Yes To Cucumbers Daily Gel Cleanser: I bought this cleanser because it was on a dupe list for Clinique Redness Solutions Soothing Cleanser. Now, I don't think I buy this as a dupe, per se, but it's a pretty decent product and is definitely very gentle. My only complaint is that it doesn't lather up much which may be nitpicky of me but it bugs me for some reason.
Laura Mercier Tarte au Citron Crème Body Wash: This came GWP and I absolutely love it. It smells amazing – like lemon icing but not overly sweet. I've been using it every shower but I should really limit myself because it was unfortunately limited edition for the holidays (in fact, I think you can only get it in the gift set).
Lush Ocean Salt: I've mentioned Ocean Salt more than once on here so I'm just going to tell you it's wonderful and move on.
Gillette Venus & Olay Razor in Sugarberry: Another reason I don't go through much shaving gel, is because these razors have the little built-in moisture bars so shaving is usually pretty quick and hassle-free.
L'Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Triple Resist Reinforcing Shampoo + L'Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Triple Resist Reinforcing Conditioner: This has been my go-to shampoo and conditioner for close to a year now and I really did love it. It was strengthening and helped my hair grow out quite a bit. However, lately it's been seriously weighing down my hair. I'm not sure if it's just because of the weather but it's looking like I'm going to have to give this up soon which is a shame because those big bottles are more than half full.
Suave Professionals Rosemary + Mint Shampoo: I like to use this as a bit of a clarifying shampoo about once every week or two. It works pretty good and smells nice as well.
Bath and Body Works Sweet on Paris Shower Gel: We're now reaching the section of my shower that I don't use too often, but there it is. I stocked up like crazy on this shower gel in the sale after Christmas last year (like in 2012, I mean). It's very sugary – it's supposedly inspired by Parisian patisseries with notes of blackberry, lemon meringue, and vanilla. It lovely but I've just kind of moved on so it doesn't get much use anymore.
Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleaner: Again, another product that hasn't seen much use lately – although I do think I used it last week. I tend to not really take many showers in the morning so that's the reason I don't get much use out of this. It's a nice product though – quite brightening and refreshing.
Lush Snowcake Soap: I love soap from Lush a lot. They've got so many amazing scents and Snowcake really just takes, well, the cake. It's got a smooth almond marzipan and vanilla scent and it's not overpowering at all. It lathers nicely as well. It's a nice little treat.
Lush Sandstone Soap: I got this little buddy as a sample with one of my many Lush purchases over the past few months. I was hesitant about this product in the beginning but for some reason I decided to give it a shot. Turns out, I actually really enjoy this soap and am considering purchasing a full size for the summer. The thing about Sandstone is it actually has bits of sand in it so it's extremely exfoliating and too rough for my body. However, I love to use this on my feet which can get quite nasty. The soap also has a really nice lemony scent, which if you haven't figured out by now it's totally my jam.
Bath and Body Works Paris Amour Golden Sugar Scrub: Another product I've kind of moved on from. The sugar scrub is nice and exfoliating but also leaving skin soft and moisturized. However, I've kind of just moved on to my Ocean Salt.

Lush Ponche Shower Gel: These are my latest shower additions, and I haven't actually used Ponche yet. But just from smelling it, I think I'm going to be a big fan. It's like a spicy orange scent and it's quite invigorating. I can't wait to give it a go. Unfortunately it's limited edition for Christmas, so if I fall in love I'm going to have to wait until next year to scoop more up.
Lush Big Sea Salt Shampoo: I've been wanting to try out this shampoo for the longest time and I recently decided to take the plunge. Now, granted, I've only used this once so far but it's amazing. My hair is fuller and has tons more volume and it's not weighed down at all. I'm so impressed.
Lush Veganese Hair Conditioner: Lastly, my new Veganese conditioner. I had a sample of this a while back and I was so impressed with that use that I decided to go big instead of going home. It's made with seaweed and lemon oil and gives crazy volume which, as you might have noticed, has become a bit of a thing for me. It's great and I'm really happy with it.
Whew, that was quite a lot of chatter so thanks bunches if you've read through it all. Let me know what you've been using and loving lately in your shower. Toodles.
