Gorgeous by Gok- Review

Afternoon!
Today I though I'd review two products that I've really been enjoying recently. I got these just before Christmas, in a set I posted about here, but for some reason have only just started to use these.
The products in question are the body wash and scrub from the Gorgeous by Gok range.

Firstly, I will start with the scent. These smell amazing. I am rubbish at describing scents, so lets just say that it's spicy, sexy and totally indulgent. The scent lingers really well on the skin, but doesn't over power any fragance or spray you put on after. If there was a perfume of this smell, I would be first in line to buy it!

The body wash is perfect. A little goes a long way, lathers up really nicely and is a joy to use. Not much else to say about it really!
The shower scrub, however, is a real gem. It's more like a body wash, but with some grains in it. This also lathers up really well, and you don't need to use much, and the grains are really gentle but effective. 
Personally, I prefer this to grittier scrubs (Such as S&G The Breakfast Scrub) as it also works as a shower gel, so it's kind of a two in product! After using this, your skin is left super soft, and lightly frangranced. Because it is such a light exfoliation, it's also okay to use most days, as opposed to using a scrub just once or twice a week. 

So, overall, I would definitely recommend these, and I will be repurchasing. Now time for the bad news...I think these must only be available at Christmas. They're not on the Boots website, although I did find some on Ebay. 
When Christmas comes round again, I will deffo be stocking up on Gok Wan products :)

Anyone tried these? Do you prefer a gritty scrub, or a more gentle one?
 Hope you're all well! :)

Current Loves #2

Hello!
It's been less than a week since I did my last Current Loves, but I've got more things that I am obsessed with at the mo!
1- Gorgeous by Gok shower scrub
This is my favourite body scrub. Not only does this smell delicious, but it's also more of a shower gel, with some scrubby bits in it, as opposed to scrubs that are a thick, paste-like consistency. As this is pretty much a 2 in 1 shower gel/scrub product, it's alot easier and quicker than using two separate products. This is very gentle on my skin, can be used daily, and leaves my skin super smooth and lightly scented.

2- Revlon Colorstay 12hr eyeshadow in Neutral Khakis 
Now, I'm not going to lie, I'm still not an eyeshadow everyday kinda girl, but when I go out, or for special occasions, these are the eye shadows I tend to reach for. Although it looks like a really dark purple in this purple in this pic, they're actually all really wearable shades. The formula of these is great, they're easy to use and long lasting, but I'm not sure I've ever worn them for 12 hours!

3- Boots tea tree and witch hazel foaming face wash
I've already raved about this product here, so I wont talk about it too much, but I have recently repurchased it and am so glad to have it back! It's already made my skin quite alot better, and I just can't recommend it enough.

4- Real Techniques stippling brush
There's not too much to say about this, and everyone and their cats loves it, but I've been using it for my blusher recently and it's fab! I can be a bit heavy handed with blusher, but with this I never get that 'stripe of blusher' look, which is good!

5- Superdrug dry shampoo in Floating on a Breeze
This is amazing. Super cheap, quite often on offer, and the best dry shampoo I've ever tried! Nice scent, although the smell doesn't last long in your hair, which personally I think is a good thing as it doesn't interfere with any perfume.

What is everyone else loving at the moment? Any essentials that you've re-discovered due to the hot weather?
Thanks for reading! :)
