Just before Valentines day they had released The comforter and the Valentines day range, I made an effort to go to the Lush store just so I could smell everything before buying. It was a bad idea.
The Comforter was one of those products that if you smelled the fragrance, you will be purchasing it 100%. I had seen this product on their website and thought $35 was a ridiculous amount to pay for a 500ml shower gel, but my tune soon changed when I saw and smelt this beauty in store.
The Shower cream was very surprising to me, unlike a shower gel, the shower cream is quite runny. If youre used to squeezing your body wash into your hands, you better not try it with the shower cream, it will slip through the creases of your hands and into the drain. Lesson learned, always use a loofa or shower puff when using Shower cream. You also dont need to use a lot, it lathers beautifully into blackcurrant scented clouds.
I am very pleased with how moisturizing the Shower cream is, my skin has a smooth and hydrating feel to it. Not to mention a beautiful fragrance of Blackcurrant with what smells like marshmallows and sweets.
I have been using this since February and I have just over a quarter of a bottle left which I think is pretty good!
If I could put the word LOVE into a shower cream, it would be The comforter. After a busy day, a hot shower with The comforter is the perfect unwind before bed time, it makes me sleep on cloud 9.
I highly recommend this product, once you smell it, you will be hypnotized by its delicious aroma.
This is my first time using Lush 'The Comforter' shower gel, after years of being a Snow Fairy fan and - I have to say - I think I'm switching teams. Snow Fairy is gorgeously girly but The Comforter is like a grown up version of the same product in many ways. Have you ever seen the movie '10 things I hate about you'? It's a fave of mine, and that was the comparison I drew to start with. Snow Fairy is Bianca... girly, sweet, thought to be too much by some but pretty and with hidden depths. The Comforter is Kat - more mature, darker, but with a hidden sweetness.
The Comforter Shower Cream comes in the signature Lush bottle; clear plastic with a black and white graphic font label featuring the Lush Logo. This is a bright, opaque berry pink - I'd actually love a lipstick in this shade! The cream is very very thin - it's a little hard to hold in your hand, so i would recommend a shower pouf here. It has a shimmery finish to it, and can be quite mesmerising in the shower in the early morning haha.
It lathers a little and gets pink EVERYWHERE...don't let the kids loose with this one. The pink does wash away even though it initially looks like it has stained skin and shower... there is a residue of pink left for a moment but that rinses off easily enough.
The scent is divine. It's Snow Fairy plus - a deeper, darker, sexier version of the bright pink in-your-face-ness of SF. The scent clings to skin and scents you beautifully. I'm in love.
I need this in my life more. What a discovery <3
Tips: like i said, use a pouf, or just a little at a time, and make sure you rinse the shower out! Other than that, it's gorgeous, glorious, and a must-have
