Lavera - Vitalisierendes (Vitalizing) - Duschgel (Shower Gel)

This smells amazing! Like mandarins. <3

This body wash has organic orange and sea buckthorn extracts.
It is vegan, organic, all natural fragrance, paraben-free, phthalate-free, and mineral oil-free.

It is a clear gel which cleans well, not much of a lather though, but that's ok.

It is a bit expensive, but you get a very good product that smells so good.

Price: 4/5 ($6.26 for 200mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Garnier - Fructis Fortifying Shampoo - Full & Luscious

This was a free sample I got from the train station (Success!).

It says it contains pomegranate but smells like FAKE APPLES! Why?! Why you do these things?!

It was a 10mL sample, but even with my now short hair, that wasn't enough to get a good lather :(

Did I feel it left my hair strands filled with fibra-cylane? Nope
It felt like a cheap marketing trick without enough dedication to even use real smoke and mirrors

Give 'em the ol' Razzle Dazzle!

As a basic shampoo, there is cheaper things that work better. So not worth it.

Price: 2/5 (rrp $5.95 for 250mL)

Protane Naturals - Moroccan Argan Oil Hydrating Shampoo

I wanted to love this (the clear rip of Organix shampoo that it is)... but I couldn't.
It didn't lather well, you have to wash twice to get a clean feel and the bottle... THE BOTTLE!...

Perhaps I am the weakest person ever...

Ok, definitely weak, but I couldn't squeeze the damn shampoo out! So frustrating!

Oh Aldi, how you let me down!

"I want working shampoo" Solution:

Effective, cheap and cheerful!

Pure Essense - Hydrating Shampoo - Green Tea

This was a sample I got from a hotel room, so I guess this will help you decide if you want to use/take this hotel sample, should you encounter it...

The scent is pleasant enough, kind to green tea with generic soap smell.

The lather was just ok and the cleaning ability seems a bit limited by it being a 'hydrating shampoo' (possibly due to the moisturising elements leaving a bit of residue).

'I need a good shampoo' Solution:

Effective, cheap and cheerful!

Avon - Femme - Shower Gel

This shower gel smells like the Avon Femme perfume (think jasmine, magnolia, amber-woods...  white flowers) and is designed to be used in conjunction with the perfume.

The smell is moderate in the product, but the minute this gel is washed off the skin, there is no lingering scent. This is quite disappointing that the scent doesn't last on the skin.

As a shower gel; it doesn't lather well, it angers my whiny skin and doesn't leave me feeling clean.

A 'shower gel that lathers well, leaves you feeling clean and smelling great' solution:

Imperial Leather is my BFF.

Price: 2/5 (rrp $12.00 for 200mL)

Scent: 3.5/5 (not a huge fan of white floral)

Effectiveness: 0/5

Brazilian Butterfly - Tea Tree Body Wash - with Sea Salt and Aloe

I purchased this to help care for my skin after a recent waxing session (Pro Tip: it hurts like a b!%@#)

This calming wash won't upset your (possibly recently maimed) skin and will help keep the skin happy and healthy. 

It smells strongly of tea tree oil (a natural antiseptic... also if you are my dad: STOP RECOMMENDING IT FOR EVERYTHING!) which is a green, pleasant scent.

The lather isn't the best though, which makes me a sad panda.

Solution: 

FILL THE ROOM WITH BUBBLES!!! XD
