This is another of Lush's limited editions! This one comes out twice a year for Christmas and also the mid year Christmas that Lush celebrates in this part of the world. Everyone always raves about this one. I always give it a sniff in the shop and think "nope, not for me" There has been much excitement about this on the forum as it has come back into the shops again so I decided to give it a go. As I was still finding it's sweet smell a little overwhelming for me, I picked up a generous sample from my local Lush. The full sizes come in the usual Lush shower gel packaging: a clear round bottle, with a black and white label that has a use by sticker telling you who made it, and a black flip top lid. It is available in three different sizes.
This is bright, girly pink - I didn't notice any lustre or shimmer in the sample I received although apparently it's in there. Lush describe it as smelling of bubble gum, vanilla and cotton candy and I think this is very accurate. It is very heavy on the candy smell to me, which lingers after you have showered. I used it in conjunction with Ro's Argan body conditioner, which toned the sweetness down.
I won't be purchasing this as I just find the smell too sweet. It does the job as far as being a shower gel goes and leaves my skin feeling nice but I think I would get sick of it after a few uses. Funnily enough, I love the Lush Candy Mountain bubble bar which is essentially the same smell but you only get a couple of uses out of it. If you love sweet candy smells though, you will definitely love this. I will stick to Rose Jam and leave this one in the shop for all the people who want to stockpile it for the year (sort it out, Lush!)
I was given this by a friend for Christmas, it is definitely my favourite scented shower gel! It lasts for ages, a little bit goes a long way, and it is also gentle on my sensitive skin! It adds colour to the shower rack (It's bright pink), and makes you feel luxurious using it. IT makes your skin smell amazing and sweet afterwards, I feel like it smells exactly like the Lush bubblegum lip scrub. Although it says the smell is of bubblegum, vanilla and cotton candy, I feel like the bubblegum smell dominates, once it is on your skin.
