Valentines day is round the corner and that means bring out the chocolates and roses! However, too much chocolate makes us fat and roses will eventually be dead. How now brown cow? Well it's time for us to look for alternatives, It's time for something new.
Introducing Que Origin's Seasonal Shower Baths. This season, there's 2 exclusive scents: Chocolate Delight for Valentines day and Sweet Mandarin Orange for Lunar News year - As previewed on my Instagram
In these 2 seasonal scent, the Rose Geranium essential oil is their support. However as reviewed in my last Que Origin's post, I'm not very fond of Rose Geranium. Thus, this is going to be an interesting ride.
We're going to start with the Lunar New Year edition, 'Huaty'. So who or what is the noble Huaty? Well, Huaty is a cheerful prosperity monkey who feeds on mandarin oranges. It only appear once a year to wish the population 新年快乐! (Happy New Year!) Upon wishes from the monkey, the population will feel a rush of energy and blessed with good fortune. Yup, you know what that means! Buy Toto strike Toto. Buy 4D strike 4D. Oh what blessing did it bring to the people at this joyous occasion. However, humans are not patient and they wants to have Huaty throughout the year. So, they captured Huaty. Upon abduction, Huaty got frighten and teleported away from the humans, leaving nothing but bottles of 'Huaty' Shower Bath behind.
Till this day, Huaty was never to be seen but every Lunar New Year, bottles of 'Huaty' shower gel will reappear in memory of Huaty, the prosperity monkey.*

So what does Huaty contains? Huaty is a Mandarin Orange infused Shower Bath, with a hint of rose geranium essential oil in the mixture. It aims to calm and relax your soul while cleansing your body.
The Huaty Shower Bath contains natural and organic goodness such as argan oil, aloe vera leaf extract, raspberry fruit extract, grapefruit fruit extract, Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E to ensure that what you are bathing with does not harm or destroy your skin.
As mentioned in my previous Que Origin's review, you do feel the cleanliness and softness in your skin after usage. Due to it's essential oils, the fragrance of the Shower Bath does relax thyself and rejuvenate the mind.
Since this is a mandarin orange infused Shower Bath, it's normal that the citrusness of the Shower Bath will consume you. There is certainly a hint of rose geranium essential oil in the solution however, it's not powerful enough to overpower the oranges.
In the previous post, I had a problem with the Shower Bath not being able to lather up as much bubbles as I want it to. However, I have found a solution!
Presenting the Shower Puff/ Shower Pouf. A piece of crunched up mesh netting used to clean your body thoroughly and achieve some light exfoliation for your dead skin cells. Besides that, the shower puff is also great for creating this mountain of foam from shower gels.
To use the Shower Puff, one just have to squeeze the shower gel into the middle of the shower puff and use it to wash your body as you normally would do without a shower puff. It's like an extra helping hand.
Thereafter, you can see the shower gel being lathered up a ton more then it usually does. If you like bubbles during your bath time include this into you regime but just remember to keep it away from the toilet while hanging it to dry for shower puff is known to accumulate a lot of bacteria in moist areas.
Next, we're going to move on to the Valentines day edition: Chocolate delight.
This chocolate infused shower gel is created to help lift one's mood and to hydrate and firms one skin, leaving a healthy glow on the user's skin.
Besides chocolate, the shower bath is also infused with vanilla and rose geranium essential oil to enhance the wonderful scent of creamy chocolate.
I would say that the chocolate delight is definitely true to it's name for it smells like them chocolates. Of course there's still a hint of rose geranium essential oil in the formula but I am unable to scent the vanilla in it.
Alike the Lunar New Year shower gel, the chocolate delight applies on smoothly and makes one feel fresh after usage. However, unlike the Lunar New year one, the chocolate shower gel does come out looking like a chocolate mud spa. After you spread the chocolate spa onto your skin it'll foam up into white bubble and not turn your skin brown. This is a shower gel not a tanning lotion.
The single bottle seasonal shower gel are SGD$8.90 each. For the seasonal Valentines package, there's also 2 other packages available which comes in twos: One for you one for them <3
