Tea Advent Calendar - Day 4 - Wildfrüchte (Wild Fruits)


This tea has
apple, elderberry, rosehip, juniper berry, mallow, blackberry leaves, blueberry, red currant, blackcurrant, and blackberry.


Lovely red colour.

It tastes like making love in a canoe... f**king close to water.

Smells nice but it doesn't translate to the taste.

Rating: 0.5/5

Tea Advent Calendar - Day 3 - Schwarze Johannisbeere (Blackcurrent)

This tea has
black Ceylon tea (South India, China), natural aroma, blackberry leaves, blackcurrant, and red currant.

Pipping hot!

It starts with a strong black tea taste which changes into a light berry flavour. Unfortunately the blackcurrant is more of a scent than a taste (a common problem with 'flavoured' black teas).

Soak - Hair Shine Conditioning Shampoo

This is part of a 'superfoods' range and this shampoo touts to have purple kale, vitamin A, manganese, and vitamin K. Did I feel these 'benefits'? Not really. But I'm not a huge fan of this 'superfoods' movement.

To me, it smells a bit like rhubarb and blackcurrent and lathers well. 

It cleaned my hair well and did not need a repeat wash.

Price: 1/5 (RRP $7.95 for 100mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 4/5

Original Source - Skin Quench - Moisturising Shower Blackcurrant & Moringa Oil

This shower gel smells like blackcurrant lollies! 
I loved the little oil beads as well, which dissolve (!!!!) and don't go on to accumulate in the environment!

It was both moisturising and cleaned well, with a good lather.

And I have another bottle from my Bellabox!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Price: 3.5/5 ($4.99 for 250mL)
Scent: 4.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
