Hi my name is Bex and I love lush! Borderline addict, some would say I am... No seriously though I love lush, the quirky names, the great packaging and the amazing smelling products what's not to love? So I have a long list of favourites that I always purchase, but I'll always buy something I have never tried, because who knows there could be a new favourite out there!
With happy hippy I was expecting a burning Incense scent, full of a rainbow of colours. That didn't happen, but what did happen was a grapefruit scented, slightly cloudy looking shower gel.
This comes in the standard lush squeeze bottle clear, with a black label and lid (which can be recycled) it's nothing fancy but it does the job.
I squeeze a bit out onto the shower puff and rub it over my body. It lathers up quite a bit which I love, mind over matter but I feel cleaner if I can see loads of bubbles. The bathroom air fills with the citrusy grapefruit scent.
When I dry my skin it doesn't have that squeaky feel which i thought being grapefruit it would leave a bit of a "stripped" feeling. The only thing I can put this down for is the scent doesn't last long on your skin after you dry. But that is only minor and I will still repurchase it.
I have a small 100g bottle of this shower gel. It looks the same as every other gel that lush makes. A clear squeeze bottle with a black label. This has a bb date but I've recently found out that lush gels last much longer than what is stated, so as long as you store them out of sunlight this will last a few years.
The color of mine is a light lime, because each batch is handmade, there can be slight color variations between each batch but there should still smell the same regardless. I've tried quite a few different lush shower gels now, some could call me obsessed but this is the thickest formula I've used so far. It comes out almost like a jelly. At first I thought it was just from a cold morning but it hasn't changed with slightly warmer weather. It lathers up well with a small amount, I use a shower puff.
I think the grapefruit scent is spot on, it's not artificial at all. It even has that slightly bitter/sour note that real grapefruits have. I do think this is a nice energizing scent for the morning. I'm not sure if i would repurchase, lush gels are expensive and i do have others i prefer much more. I'd totally recommend to anyone who loves this kind of scent though!
