This was a product from Lush I got as part of a gift set, however before that, this used to be the product I made a beeline for whenever I was in a Lush store. In Lush stores this product tends to be tipped out onto a plate for display and its holds it shape perfectly. But that’s not the reason I use to make a beeline for it. The reason is its just so fun to play with. It’s a jelly in consistency, but a jelly that holds it shape and doesn’t slip through your fingers so it’s a bit more rubbery than they type of jelly you eat, but it still has an amazing wobble, so I think it is pretty clear why this was a attraction at the lush store for myself.
First impressions of this product? Well like I said it’s comes in a jelly form, but its more rubbery than the typical edible jelly. It’s a dark beautiful purple and has small glitter flecks throughout the jelly which just makes this product extra fun. Apart from the fun, the other most enticing aspect of this product is the smell. Oh wow, words can honestly not describe how amazing this product smells. It’s sweet, but not sickly, and has a beautiful smell of candy but in reality the fragrance is meant to be cherry. The smell actually reminds me of a tub of goody goody gum drops and we all know how delicious that smells.
Anyway, I’m glad I got this product in a gift set because it was an item on my wish list, but I really didn’t have high hopes for it simply because it comes in a 100g container, and I thought realistically how long will 100g of jelly last me? The majority of it will just get washed down the drain.. And so I put off using this. However, the day finally came when I decided I need to try this so to use this, I pull a piece of the jelly away, and rub it all over my body like I would a bar of soap. The jelly lathers slightly but not as much as a body gel, and a small amount of jelly actual lasts a long time. I mean long enough to clean all my skin so this product doesn’t just get washed down the drain as I initially thought.
This product describes itself as a mix of a bar of soap and a shower gel, and I have to admit this description confused me. I suppose the consistency reflects that as it is half solid like soap, but half soft like body wash maybe? Other than that I don’t really see a comparison.
Overall, I’m really impressed with this product. It smells amazing, lasts quite a long time and I find the smell of this actually lingers on my skin after my shower so that’s another bonus. It also didn’t dry my skin out at all, and leaves tiny little flecks of glitter over my skin which just looks lovely. I would use this again, and honestly would recommend this to my friends.
The scent of this shower jelly is so addictive! Loved the smell and the idea of this product is fun, however, I didn't find this product to be very practical; after several uses it cracked and fell to pieces (definitely still able to be used though). I kept using it for about a month so it definitely lasts a while. I'm not going to re-purchase but would still be stoked if I was gifted it - basically a good product but I would prefer spending my money on something else next time :)
