I've been wanting to try this for ages so finally in their boxing day sale I decided to pick this up (plus got one for Christmas) and I'm so glad I did! Lets start with the smell. It is seriously amazing like actual heaven on Earth. It has the same scent as Ro's Argan Body Conditioner, Rose Jam Bubbleroon and Jason and the Argan Oil shampoo bar, so if you are unsure go and have a sniff of those products. The packaging is your usual lush packaging which I really like. I have the 250g bottle which I've been using everyday for months now and still have over half the bottle left so it's amazing value! The product itself is like a deep purple colour.
This makes my skin smell amazing and it lasts really well throughout the day which usually doesn't happen with most other body washes. It doesn't dry my skin out but doesn't add any extra moisture either. I only wish that this product was more natural like the other lush body washes.
I will 100% be repurchasing this, you just can't pass up something smelling as good as this! Plus if you get it in the boxing day sale it's amazing value! You won't be disapointed if you get this, it's so worth it. This isn't my favourite lush body wash but it is up there.
I love, love, love Lush shower gels. They're not cheap but once you've tried them, there's no turning back. Now whenever I buy a supermarket brand, I instantly regret not buying Lush instead. But my Lush favourites are always limited editions! Why do you do this to my Lush?!? Yes, clever marketing I know but they really should make this one all year round. None of the regular Lush shower gels appeal as much. It's always the limited editions for me.
This one comes out twice a year for Christmas and also the mid year Christmas that Lush celebrates in this part of the world. A friend picked this up for me half price in the Boxing Day sale whilst I was overseas as I've loved it since the first year it came out. At first I wasn't sure about the 500ml size as I tend to get sick of anything before I get through that much of it. So here we are near the end of October and I am less than a third of the way through the bottle. A probably use it a couple of times a week. Far from becoming sick of it, it has become my absolute Lush favourite.
It comes in the usual Lush shower gel packaging: a clear round bottle, black and white label along with a use by sticker telling you who made it, and a black flip top lid. Mine is already passed its one year use by date. This doesn't worry me so much with shower gel. Can shower gel even go off?!?
It is deep pink, almost burgundy in colour. Lush describe this on the label as sweetly floral with Rose and lemon and I think this is very accurate. The lemons stops it from being too sweet. It is not artificial granny rose either. In fact, for me it has been highly addictive and has made me seek out as many rose scented things as possible. Sadly, few of them outside of Lush smell as good as this. Apparently there was a Rose Jam perfume one year (not sure if we got it in NZ but I will be looking out for that one this year)
This is a thinner consistency than some Lush shower gels. I use it with a shower puff and it lathers up well. It leaves my skin feeling soft, clean and smooth. I use it in conjunction with Ro's Argan body conditioner. Thankfully that one is not limited edition as I have gone through several tubs of that! That combo leaves me softly rose scented all day.
I will definitely be stocking up again this Christmas even though I still have plenty left. Or better still.....just do the right thing Lush and make this a permanent range!
Tips: Lush Christmas stock is in store now so stock up whilst you can!
