Get down and dirty as you get clean!  This X-rated shower gel is full of wonderfully sexy oils, including clary sage, rose and jasmine.   It’s also got the goodness of red wine splashed in, which, with the rose petal infusion, gives it a rich blood red shade.  You don’t need a license to be this provocative!

 

STOUT

They really make it with a well known brand of Irish stout and it really is good for your hair! It cleans it, it makes it soft and smooth and it makes your locks smell almost irresistible to anyone who has the slightest bit of Irishness in them. Fresh lemon juice makes your hair shiny and lemon oil is very good for keeping your scalp in top condition; they also add a lovely, light, fresh scent.
