Lush Olive Branch Body Wash Review

This body wash can also be used as a hair wash (points for multipurpose) and it smells delicious.

It smells like a warm candle, musky and citrusy. Its a hard scent to name, but it smells so damn good! My friend recommended it to me and i was bit skeptical as i don't like the smell of olive oil, but it smells so good! not like olive oil at all!

the scent lingers softly as well, a little goes a long way too.

I got given a gift pack for my birthday that contained a 100g bottle of the olive branch shower gel! At first i hated the smell of it but thought i may as well keep using it to see if i would get over the smell or not. It is a very fresh scent! A few weeks have passed now and i have finished the bottle. I like that it wasn't thick but it lathered up really easy and a little bit went a long way. Would i buy it my self? No because i am more of a sweet scented girl so if you prefer more sweet scents this one defiantly wont be for you! although in the end i didn't hate it i also didn't love it.

I love buying the Lush gift packs (for myself, mainly!), and when I see one that features a bottle of this, I usually pick it up. While I find that sometimes I get a bit 'over' certain Lush shower products before I actually use up the bottle, I enjoy every use of this one. The scent is incredible! It's fresh and full of citrus, but it's also slightly spicy - and not at all overwhelming because of the fresh flavours.

If I had been reviewing this product after finishing my last bottle, I would have given it full marks. Unfortunately, the formula on my latest one was a bit disappointing after what I'd been used to. This particular shower gel doesn't have the thickest formula to begin with, but I found my bottle was really runny. It was a bit hard to control exactly how much I was using each time because of that, but it still lathered up nicely with only a little bit of product.Plus, it's nice knowing that all the Lush products are made nice and fresh.

It's definitely not drying, but I always make sure to follow up with a moisturiser afterwards since it's not a creamy formula and doesn't seem to lock moisture in. It makes me feel really refreshed and I enjoy using it year round, so it's definitely worth a try!

I got the medium sized bottle as a gift and although it wasn't something I would have straight away picked for myself I really love this product.

The scent is a really subtle mandarin fruity smell which lingers on the skin nicely. Consistency is pretty runny but I pop it on my shower puff and it lathers up nicely and is a really soft and light product to use. The packaging is in the traditional lush clear bottles with the name and description on the front and the ingredients on the back. You could say the product is a little pricey but paying a little more for a great, sustainable, ethical product definitely pays off for me.

I was gifted a very generous amount of this by my lovely friend Shana. There was more than half at least in a 100ml bottle and I got a lot of uses out of it. I was intrigued by the color, it was orange and then a milky orange, but Shana assured me it was supposed to be like that, as she had asked the Lush team and they said it was normal.

I used it the next day in the shower and I was on the fence. It was very summer feeling, Game of Thrones smelling gel. As soon as I smelt it I was taken to Kings Landing, standing under a silk canopy, wearing a 'don't mess with me' dress, and I was staring out at the ocean in the hot air.

The gel is the color of a mandarin and the orange milky cream makes it look like some sort of rare gem, or just a mandarin with the white pith. It lathers amazingly, covering my whole body and keeping me in Kings Landing for just a bit longer. It rinses off like it should and doesn't dry out my skin - bonus!

I really liked this, surprisingly more than I thought I did. I would gladly repurchase this, maybe not in a big size but a little one for sure.

I was very lucky to be sent this for free in a rather large order I placed recently, lucky because I discovered I didn't like the scent much and I am glad I hadn't paid for it myself.

The bottle is the standard Lush shower gel bottle with flip top cap, the shower gel actually settles in the bottle leaving a creamy portion on the uppermost part of the bottle as as you'd imagine you need to shake the bottle prior to use.

Once mixed the golden amber liquid becomes more opaque and it's actually quite runny (be warned as it will get away from you easily).

The scent reminds me of the Mens body spray Lynx... I don't mind it on others but not one I would pick out for myself (personally I found it a masculine scent and I prefer sweeter notes).

It lathers okay and feels clean after yet moisturized at the same time (not greasy as I had imagined for some reason).

I got this shower gel as a 100mL size as part of a gift pack. Its not something I would have picked out for myself at lush as I'm a big fan of their sweeter shower gels such as Flying Fox and Snow Fairy. This is an amber coloured shower gel which I find to be a lot more runny in consistency than their other gels. It doesn't smell like olives rather it has a musky tone to it (maybe this is the vine leaves coming through) with a background note of citrus. I would describe it as a very softly scented gel. Upon using it I find that even though it is quite watery it lathers up amazingly on my loofah and I don't need to use heaps. The bonus for this gel is it really does moisturise the skin. Everytime I use it I find that my skin is so smooth and soft and I feel like my skin sucks up all the goodness in it. Overall its a nice shower gel. Its something I probably wouldn't pick out for myself as Lush have such an amazing range of other gels, but if someone bought it for me or it came in one of their giftboxes I'd happily use it again. I like how soft it leaves my skin,but find that the scent kind of gets lost as it is so subtle, and scent is one of the main things I go for when I sniff my way through lush!

I'm a huge Lush fan kind of obsessed almost but who doesn't love Lush all the beautifully scented products, the fact they help out the little guys, ethically sourced ingredients, The list goes on.

So I do most of my lush buying online and I had scrolled past this numerous times because nothing really stood out about it to me. Once it arrived I did a wee sniff then a try and it still doesn't stand out.....

I ordered a 100ml just to try it before getting a larger bottle if I liked it. But this shower gel is not something that I love and would order over and over. It's nice but not the typical Lush product that punches you in the face with the scent.

The colour of this is an orange colour with like a white cream that has settled on the top so a big shake is a must. It's also quite a runny shower gel especially when it's warmed up. The scent is a subtle mandarin not strong at all and it doesn't linger on your skin like most lush products long after your shower. It does leave your skin silky smooth and feeling amazing but just without the scent

I probably won't buy this again purely because I love the stronger scented shower gels.

This was one of the first Lush products I tried. At first I wasn't convinced as I found it was just like a normal body wash from the supermarket, but my mind was changed. I love how smooth and silky this body wash makes your skin feel afterwards. It feels very luxurious and hydrating.

This body wash has a separated layer sitting on top of it if you leave the bottle just sitting there. So before you use it make sure to shake it well so the two layers mix together. The body wash lathers easily, I did however use a loofah to apply it to my skin. It's very easy to spread all over your body and you defiantly feel clean and refreshed after using it. The bonus with this body wash is that it's very hydrating. I would definitely recommend this to those that have dry skin.

To me this didn't really smell like olives, but I was glad that it didn't because I personally don't like olives. The smell is very delicate and fresh, I quite like the smell. I can pick up the Mediterranean scents and to me it smells a bit earthy and reminds me of nature. This body wash has a gel based texture. The consistency is why you expect from a body wash, maybe slightly on the thinner side. The colour of the body wash is a deep orange brown.

The bottle is the typical Lush bottle, simple clear cylinder shaped bottle with a black click top lid. The one downside I find is that the plastic bottle is quite hard, so when you get down to the bottom quarter of the product you end up having to squeeze quite hard. I ended up just leaving my bottle upside down to get every last drop out. I also love the fact that you can save up your Lush containers and if you return five of them you get a free face mask.

I am not a fan of eating olives but I will happy put this on my skin any day. It is on the pricey side, but organic products are always more expensive. I would defiantly they repurchase this product.

This was another items in one of the numerous Lush gift packs i got given (or that i brought myself, don't judge). This was actually a product i was really excited about trying because it seems to be a really populour product that is included in a lot of the Lush gift packs, aswell as being a bestseller on their website.

This shower gel comes in the typical lush container, which is made from a clear soft plastic, with a black lid. Because its a soft plastic, it is really easy to squeeze the product out, but becauase the lid only has a small hole, it means you can control how much comes out, so there is less wastage. Always a good thing when your paying $13.00 for 100ml of body wash.

This shower gel is a gorgeous amber orange colour. Its stunning but sometimes it separates and get like a milky look that sits on the top of the product. However, a good shake seems to fix that!

This shower gel is a good consistency. Its like a gel body wash, and i think that's the best way i can describe it. It has a gorgeous slightly citrus scent to it, but i also find it smells kind of masculine! Which is great, because it means that the other half likes using it too. On second thought, that may be a downside. I can be a bit selfish when it comes to sharing my Lush Products, but who can blame me!

This product lathers up well, and cleans skin without stripping it. I find it also leaves my skin feeling hydrated if anything, which might be because of the olive oil.

Overall, a nice body wash for Lush, but not one of my favourites.
