Some products are just OLD SKOOL, and by old school I mean stuff like Old Spice and Fenjal Bath Oil. These were the things I used to see in the bathroom as a kid, these are the products that I would never use now but nevertheless remind me of being a young.
Badedas Originl Bath Gelee is one of those things I remember seeing and when you smell it…all kind of memories! It’s sort of fresh and green but retro…
The smell is perhaps the horse chestnut extract. Granted I don’t take baths that often, I can’t be doing with the environmental guilt so Mr C’s mother happily took these to use.
So we like the Bath Gelee. The formula is somewhat thick and gloopy so you only need a little bit and the result is lots of bubbly foam and a generally invigorating bath.
The 3 in 1 revitalising shower gel, shampoo and conditioner (oh no, not on my frizzy mop) was also rejected my Mr C’s mother (because most ladies want a separate shampoo and conditioner right?!) but used by Mr C who quite liked it although the scent is “a bit strong” but his hair did feel “really clean”.
I have to say the scent is very strong – best have a sniff to see if you’d like it or not – but it’s quite fresh.
This could make a nice mother’s day present for those on a tight budget.

This currently retails for £3.81 at Boots and is sold in other high street pharmacies and supermarkets.
Is there a beauty product that evokes childhood memories for you?

Whenever I see vosene shampoo in the shop it reminds me of when I was young and we had a avocado bathroom suite!

Ahaha I bought this for my grandmother for Christmas! Supposedly it’s extremely nice! The packaging looks out of date for my taste, a bit 90s?
I’d need to smell something to have something evoke childhood memories, but I basically grew up with Pantene, think everyone did? And Lynx, ugh. (although those are more teen memories aren’t they).
