This is another of Lush's limited editions! This one comes out twice a year for Christmas and also the mid year Christmas that Lush celebrates in this part of the world. Everyone always raves about this one. I always give it a sniff in the shop and think "nope, not for me" There has been much excitement about this on the forum as it has come back into the shops again so I decided to give it a go. As I was still finding it's sweet smell a little overwhelming for me, I picked up a generous sample from my local Lush. The full sizes come in the usual Lush shower gel packaging: a clear round bottle, with a black and white label that has a use by sticker telling you who made it, and a black flip top lid. It is available in three different sizes.
This is bright, girly pink - I didn't notice any lustre or shimmer in the sample I received although apparently it's in there. Lush describe it as smelling of bubble gum, vanilla and cotton candy and I think this is very accurate. It is very heavy on the candy smell to me, which lingers after you have showered. I used it in conjunction with Ro's Argan body conditioner, which toned the sweetness down.
I won't be purchasing this as I just find the smell too sweet. It does the job as far as being a shower gel goes and leaves my skin feeling nice but I think I would get sick of it after a few uses. Funnily enough, I love the Lush Candy Mountain bubble bar which is essentially the same smell but you only get a couple of uses out of it. If you love sweet candy smells though, you will definitely love this. I will stick to Rose Jam and leave this one in the shop for all the people who want to stockpile it for the year (sort it out, Lush!)
I have heard people rave about this product and have always found it a hard product to find because it is seasonal.
But I came across a bottle of this in America and HAD to see what all the fuss was about. I walked into the store and knew I had found it once I saw how gorgeous it was!
First of all, the smell! If that isn't enough to have you hooked I don't know what is. It smells like Christmas in a bottle. Very sweet, it is described like candy floss & bubble gum.
It lathers on nicely and makes your skin feel amazing once washed off. It does have a bit of glitter in it as well, but I love myself a bit of sparkle!
Love this product, get in quick for Christmas :D
