My Review
Thanks to Que Origin for sending these pretty limited edition shower gel.
2 different limited edition shower gel received.
I'm sure many would have seen my other post about Que Origin's 3 different scent shower gel. Go to here if you have not. :)

I was so excited to receive these limited edition shower gel. Especially so when the bottle designs are so cute and pretty. Cute monkey there and pretty valentine's day design.

Also making me equally curious is the new scent found in the limited edition shower gel. Sweet Orange sounds pretty mouth watering to me as I always love fruit scent. Chocolate sounds pretty excited to me as my mind goes "Are you sure!!?? Will ants come look for me after I used?". LOL

The limited edition came in 250ml bottle, came in its usual opening cap properly sealed with stickers.

Lets talk about Valentine's Day limited edition first. 
Pretty Valentines Day Limited Edition.
The shower came in a brown in color gel like texture. It does look like melted chocolate to me. Look so delicious that I felt like eating them....haha.....ops....but its not edible so please don't eat it accidentally. LOL.
Shower gel looks like melted chocolate.
Scent wise, I smell mainly rose geranium though with a little light chocolate smell. The chocolate smell is more obvious during showering when I apply the lathered shower gel on my skin.

However after lathering, it just looked like ordinary shower foam with a little beige color if seen closely.

How about the LNY Limited Edition?

The shower gel came in a light yellow transparent color with a gel like texture.

I was kind of being attracted to the 2 cute monkeys on the design of the bottle. And knowing that sweet orange essential oil is used in this shower gel, makes me even more like using it right away.

I love fruity scent. So I really love this LNY Limited Edition. It gave off a very nice orange smell that is not too overwhelming with this little Rose Geranium scent on the background. I really love it.

After lathering, the orange scent is even more obvious. :D My bath room smells good too.
After lathering.
As usual, Que Origin shower gel had a thinner foam as compare with other shower gel. But this does not affect the effectiveness of the shower gel. My skin still feels clean, smooth and supple after use. I feel so relax after showering too. :)

Overall these 2 limited edition shower gel makes my skin feel clean, smooth and supple after use. The new scent smells really good too. Also it does makes my shower experience happier with the 2 cute and pretty bottle designs. Great as a gift for people too. 

So what are you waiting for? Grab them before they are gone.

1 bottle of Bird's Nest drink.
The bird's nest drink itself is a little yellowish in color. Should be from the rock sugar used I supposed coz it's stated no artificial coloring used. I can also see the bird nest, white fungus and the 1 slice of ginseng. 
Bird's nest drink can be seen from the transparent glass bottle.
The cap sealing the bottle has a safety button. Only after its open, the button is up. which is good. I know the bottle is not opened before.

The bird's nest drink is very thick with more ingredient then water. It taste not so sweet and I can taste the ginseng although only 1 small slice is inside.

But one thing that confused me is that I can't really differentiate which are white fungus and which are bird's nest. So can't really see which has more % in a bottle.

My Review
Thanks to Que Origin for sending the shower gel products and with one in a customized bottle. :)
Que Origin Shower Gel came in a nice gift box.
Que Origin is new so I am also new to this shower gel. But knowing that I am using a product free from hash and harmful chemical make my mind as ease. Some more, the ingredients contain essential oil. I love essential oil. :)

Lets start with the bottle first. The shower gel is place in a nice white bottle. It's even nicer that I can customized my own bottle pattern. Good as a gift too. 
Rose Geranium Shower Gel.
Lemongrass Shower Gel.
Lavender Shower Gel.
Customized bottle with your chosen scent.
The shower gel has a gel-like texture. Its transparent in color, with Lemongrass shower gel having a slightly light yellowish transparent in color. I can also see small bubbles inside the shower gel.

Lavender Shower Gel.
Rose Geranium Shower Gel.
What I like is that Que Origin shower gel all came with their own scent from the natural ingredients. And the scent can be smell when the bottle cap is open.
Cap seal with sticker.
250ml bottle cap.
Lavender came with a just nice lavender smell that is not too overwhelming. 

Lemongrass surprisingly came in a very light lemongrass smell with more percentage of grapefruit smell. 

Rose Geranium came in a strong rose smell.

I have tried all 3 of them. I like Lemongrass shower gel best. It's mix with a little of lemongrass and fruit smell. Very nice. But those people who do not like fruity smell, may choose the other 2 type of scent.

But there is also exception. Not all scent I like. Of the 3, I dislike Rose Geranium scent most. Well, I am quite fussy about rose smell. The rose smell must be of the right kind of rose and percentage of smell. Unfortunately, this Rose Geranium scent smell a little cockroach smell to me. But that is me only. I think those rose scent lover will love this scent though. :)

The shower gel is not so easy to lather with foam unless I use a shower puff. The foam form is also a little thinner than the usual foam from other shower gel I used. So my advice is use a shower puff to save you less job. :)
After lather with thin foam.
The best part of the shower gel came after washing off with water. Not only its gentle and cleanse well, my skin feel smooth and supple. 

Also, I smell so good too even after I left the bath room. My family member notice and asked, "What did you use? Smells good." Not to mention, my bath room smells good too.

Not sure if I am imagining things, I feel really relax after showering with these shower gel. Is it coz of the essential oil used in the shower gel? Anyway it really feels good.

Overall, I like to use these shower gel very much. It not only produces natural scent from the natural ingredient use, it make my skin feel clean, smooth and supple after use. Also after a tired day of work, I feel so relax and comfortable after showering with this shower gel. Most importantly, it's not expensive.
