Lush Rose Jam shower Gel Review

Rose Jam is my absolute favourite Lush product AND favourite shower gel of all time! A limited edition product available at Christmas time I picked my first bottle up in Lush's Boxing Day sale for 50% off as a 100ml bottle, then quickly returned to snap up both a 250ml for myself and another 100ml as a gift for a friend as I loved it so much.

The packaging is the standard simplistic Lush clear bottle with printed label marked with use by date (yes it does expire!). Luckily it has quite a long shelf-life so I wouldn't say you need to worry about it expiring on you, I've used Lush's products past use by before perfectly fine.

The first thing I noticed about Rose Jam was it's lovely berry-red colour, but it was the smell of the thick gel that really won my heart. Rose Jam smells simply HEAVENLY! I'm a huge lover of rosewater, both the scent and the taste and this reminds me so much of it, like liquid turkish delight bottled to perfection.

This is the product I'd go all Gollum "my precioussss" over, complete with wincing when I've caught my partner using it and gentle nudges of other gels. On days when I can't be bothered with a bath but I want a bubble bath but I want a shower with a little extra, Rose Jam is what I reach for as a pick-me-up. I've just used the last of mine and I'll be stocking up when it's next on sale.

I am so glad this is now up on BR so I can sing its praises. This is one of my very favourite shower gels ever! (Second only to Original Source Lavender and Tea Tree). I know this only comes out twice a year but I always have a spare in my cupboard so I know I won't run out.

The packaging is the usual clear container (great for seeing how much is left), with the black lid. The gel is a dark red shade which is very pretty.

Now I'm not a fan of Turkish Delight, but I love this. The rose smell is seriously intense. You are going to have to love the florally rose scent to like this product... Luckily I do! It works very well as a shower gel, it lathers up well and leaves the skin feeling very soft, but not extra moisturised. It doesn't leave the skin feeling stripped at all which is good. Sometimes I find with Lush soaps they can be quite drying. When you wash this off it does leave a faint scent, but nothing really noticeable later on in the day.

I will continue to stock up on this product whenever I can. I love the scent and try to keep a spare in my bathroom cupboard so I know I can have it when I want. They better not discontinue this one!!!

I had read the raving reviews about rose jam from the BR babes and although I'm not really a huge rose scented fan I still had to buy it, so when the Lush mid winter limited editions came up it was one of the first that went into the shopping cart.

I'm not a fan of the Ro's Argan body conditioner I find it too rosey and overpowering so I was skeptical about this one until I opened it for the first time and WOW it is gorgeous, yes it is rose but it is sweet and heavenly.

I love the rich deep berry colour of this shower gel it is beautiful, the shower gel is thick and although it is a gel it feels so creamy. It lathers up quite a lot compared to some lush shower gels, it feels so silky and rich on your skin it really is in a league of its own.

My skin feels so soft after using this shower gel and the scent lingers for an hour or so. Like I mentioned I'm not a huge florally, rose fan but this really is something very special, it's a very soft sweet rose that I really enjoy. I will be stocking up on this one the next time it is released around Christmas. It is such a beautiful shower gel that makes me feel so girly every time I use it.

I am a lover of most things sweet as long as it's not overpowering or sickly. I am a huge fan of Ro Argan Body Conditioner so because of this I had to have the shower gel that is based on that. Usually I am not a fan of rose scents but this one has me obsessed! I bought the 250g bottle for $20.90 but am now wishing I bought the 500g bottle because I love it that much. Now $20.90 sounds like an absolutely ridiculous amount to pay for a shower gel surely?! It is but this smell has me possessed so I keep coming back for more.

This bottle is the basic Lush shower gel bottle with plain jane lettering to tell you all you need to know and nothing more. I am not paying for extra pretty packaging or pictures just the pure fact that it works and it's natural and cruelty free. It has a flip top lid which with wet hands can be hard to open.

I love the little who made it sticker on the bottle. It shows personal touches and care has been taken to make this product. It's nice to see a face behind the scene. It's a dusky rose liquid that smells like sweet roses (if that's a thing?). The smell is intense but pleasant and it takes my mind on a meander through a meadow full of roses and candy. Weird I know but my mind does these things when smelling things this good.

I use this on my loofah so it creates more of a lather and doesn't just get washed down the plug hole. I massage it in to my skin, making my entire body take on that rose and candy filled meadow. Once rinsed off my skin is left feeling so soft and replenished. It is smooth to the touch and feels like it has had its thirst quenched. The instructions make me laugh on this. It says if you don't know how to use it by now you're doing something wrong lol. Humor is the way to my heart along with the smell mmmm.

The price I could do without because it is expensive but for the smell and the fact that I am supporting a business like Lush against animal cruelty I am all in boots and all. I have passed on a sample to a few of my friends and have converted them to the cruelty free side too yussss *does a dancing man in victory*. Try it you won't be disappointed if you are a sweet scent girl.

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!

I truly thought that nothing could top my love for the snow fairy shower gel, but then I tried out this. I still absolutely adore snow fairy but this jut beats it.

I'm currently using a 500ml bottle which is the largest size bottle. I also managed to buy two more 500ml bottles in the boxing day sale so I'm pretty set with this scent for the next year which is lucky as this unfortunately is a limited edition product. It does thankfully come out twice a year for sale, I really hope lush never, ever discontinue this one! The packaging is really simple, just a plastic squeeze bottle. If you know anything about lush though, their focus isn't on flash packaging but more about sustainable, animal friendly products. This has a sticker on it which says exactly when it was made, who made it and when it is due to expire. It has a handy hint written on other products that share the same scent which is great to know. This is a handmade product but it surprised me to see how much the colour could change between batches. The bottle I'm currently using is a pinky red colour, my two other bottles are almost black!

The scent of this is so unique. It's a really rich, rose scent but not a typical rose scent. It's sweet, but not candy sweet. It says it has geranium oil and a hint of lemon added and while I can't really distinguish those notes, they just add something extra to this and make it not something you could find anywhere else.

I only need to use a small amount of this on a body puff and it lathers up really well. I find the scent lingers for an hour or so afterwards on my body but my bathroom smells amazing for quite a lot longer.

This can be quite expensive to purchase but I do feel it's worth it for that bit of extra luxury. It does sell at half price on boxing day but you need to be up early as this product sells out quickly!

I'd definitely recommend trying this one out or even just giving it a sniff in store when it's available

My daughter gave this to me for xmas and as I find the Lush shops too claustrophobic with all the strong scents I did not expect to like it. It came in a big bottle and looked very much like jam in a bottle so I was a bit reluctant to use. With the first use I am sold.Yes it is sweet and thick but it made me feel totally decadent and spoilt.Rich and with a strong scent of rose I wanted to use it all over.The scent stayed on my skin but just a whisper which made me feel lovely and clean and pampered. The only fault I found was the lid which is a little hard to open but the product inside is worth the struggle.

If you live roses, you will love the scent of this gorgeous shower gel. It has a real traditional scent which some kight find a bit too much, but I'm ok with this.

I got the 100ml bottle, which is the typical Lush shower gel bottle with the little flip lid. I find this a good sized bottle for the shower as anything bigger I find it harder to deal with.

The colour of this shower gel is the most amazing deep red, it looks simply gorgeous on my white shower puff. I have found that if you use a puff, you rwally dont need a lot of shower gel. It lathers really well and feels totally luxurious.

After you have rinsed off you are left feeling clean and refreshed and you smell amazing.

My whole bathroom smells like a fresh garden. I will repurchase this again!

Life smells like a bunch of roses at times and this will make you smell of roses too. This is the first Lush shower gel I have used. It scents myself and my shower beautifully. I got a small bottle as I was not sure on this when I bought it online at the xmas sales but I know it has been a favourite of others on BR.

When I first used it, I thought that it was a little strong but the scent seems to make itself delicate once out of the shower and floats around you. This is a little thicker than normal, it sort of comes out like a more solid gel than flowing onto my loofah. It gets up a good foam and feels gentle on my skin. I normally shower in the morning but I can see this as being a nice scent to use just before bed to unwind with. Because it is a shower gel you could use it as bubble bath or in a foot bath.

I was a little sad that it ended but hopefully it is out again at xmas or mid year xmas and I can get another bottle of it. While it is more dollars than the average shower gel, a girl must treat herself.

Usually I'm not a fan of Lush stores as when I walk in them, there are so many nice smelling products that my brain goes into meltdown mode. So, naturally when someone bought me this product as a gift, I was sceptical about how it would smell and what it would do to my skin. Boy was I surprised! The smell was amazing and my skin felt great after using it, not all dry and scaley. I wish they made this scent into a body spray because it smells so good.
