LUSH Yuzu and Cocoa Shower Cream Review

I was lucky enough to grab one of these in the vault, I had had my eye on it for ages. I love Lush and have never been dissapointed, and this product didnt dissapoint either.

It comes in a 500 gram clear plastic bottle with a black lid. It lasted for ages which is great because I loved it.

It is an absolute shocking bright yellow, which is not my fave colour, however I can get past this as the gel and fragrance are amazing!

It is not as thick as some other shower gels, in fact it is a bit runny so you have to be a bit careful while you are pouring it. I used it on a bath poof and it lathered really well, the fragrance is amazing and very long lasting. It is hard to explain the fragrance, it is sweet but I do not get cocoa as they describe. I am not too worried about that as I love it anyway. I am not sure what tonka is, but if it contributes to the fragrance I am in love.

I will purchase this gorgeous shower gel again and again, it is up there with my favourites.

I picked up this little beauty after trying it in store with a gorgeous Lush store worker, she said people either like it or dislike and after reading the previous reviews on Beauty Review that rings true.

I got two bottles of this the smaller 100ml and the larger 500ml, which both come in a clear bottle, which allows to view the insane bright sunshine yellow body cream inside that catches your eye, with click close black lids. I use the smaller 100ml bottle for travel it is the perfect size, not too dinky and small, but not too large that it takes up excessive space.

The texture is a runny consistency that lathers on my skin beautifully, personally I enjoy the texture of this body cream wash as a little goes a long way and it bubbles and foams slightly, which leaves me with moisturised and cleansed skin.

The scent is out of this world, chocolatey, citrus, tropical and sweet it is a scent that reminds me of visiting a tropical island with a fruity cocktail in my hand, I haven't smelt anything like this shower cream, its a must smell in my opinion when visiting Lush.

Price point - Lush is on the pricier side in comparison to most body washes but the wide range of scents and the different styles are worth the money in my opinion, also knowing that they are mindful with their ingredients is a positive when I am looking to purchase something that I use on my skin.

I would 100% repurchase Yuzu and Cocoa Shower Cream, it is so delicious and a perfect addition in my showering routine.

First of all, I ADORED 'Lord of misrule' He my bae of body wash. But that devil is also a limited edition. Then I saw Yuzu and Cocoa (the yellow caught my eye) and of all of the washes in Lush at the time (comfort is just too strong berry) it was my favourite so I got a small bottle because I always like a tester incase I get sick of the scent after a day or two. I love the orange/chocolate scent, it reminds me of those orange chocolate things you can get at Christmas wehre each segment of the orange is separate. mmmm...nothing like childhood memories captured in a bottle that you can scrub all over yourself. Although I liked this product; orange, chocolate, vanilla/coconut undertone I must admit I just never felt like I NEEDED to have more (Like with some other products from lush) I think Its because, Like the chocolate orange I would get at Christmas, too much of it would just dull it out.

I like how lush brings out new scents all the time though... but I must repeat Lord of misrule is, and always will be, my Shower-bae..

Lush have created a shower cream that smells good enough to eat. I'd read reviews on this particular one and it didn't seem to be anything special. Then I got a sample with an online order and holy wow it was love at first sniff.

I'm not normally the biggest fan of citrus scents, but this smells like a good chocolate orange icecream. The bright yellow colour is certainly cheerful! The product is a smooth, thickish cream that doesn't lather very much at all. It basically feels like running a piece of satin over the skin *insert heart eyes emoji here*.

You're left with a very delicate, leaning towards cocoa scent after using this. It's not very strong but I guess that's a good thing if you want your perfume to be the 'hero' of your scent.

I love love love the smell of this stuff. I was given a big bottle for my last birthday and I love it more than I expected.

It's a cream formula but in saying that its not very thick and easy to get out of the bottle ( I have issues with my hands so easy to poor things float my boat) The only thing I don't like about it is that it's bright bright yellow...... Wish the colour was more muted as it does leave my puff fluoro yellow.

I'm always a bit hesitant about trying out shower cream, not really because of any bad experiences with creams in the shower, but more because I enjoy gels and soaps and bubbles so much. So is there really a need for a shower cream?

I have to say, this product hasn't absolutely made up my mind, but I'm definitely leaning towards accepting shower creams now. It's its own treat really, a lavish and creamy treat. One that I don't want to use for every shower but every now and then.

The scent is slightly orangey and to me smells quite coconutty rather that like cocoa butter. However that isn't really a bad thing. The bright yellow colour definitely livens things up as well.

I'm not sure whether I will get it again given there are so many other Lush products I prefer..But I will keep an open mind in the future for shower creams.

This will be such a mixed review as I have such mixed feelings about this product!

Orange chocolate? Nope I don't smell that at all, which is rather dissapointing because that was a selong point for me when I picked it up in the recent beauty vault. Citrus? Yes! it smells very zesty and fruity. I'm unaware what yuzu is so maybe that's where the fruityness comes from? sadly I don't get the cocoa part.

The consistency, runny! I mean it is a cream not a shower gel, I guess I was expecting something a wee bit thicker not something that'd run through your fingers and spill all through the shower. BUT! it's something I can live with! Squirt some onto a shower puff and wha la, problem solved. The cream lathers up beautifully in a puff and makes it soooo much easier to use.

I love using this in my morning showers, it's fresh fruity and colourful! It sets the tone for my morning. Bright and Cheerful!

While this isn't my fave lush product I don't particularly mind it. I'm just really in 2 minds about it.

It's a nice addition to my morning showers, I'm just unsure if it's something that I'd buy once I've run out.

I'm very familiar with my Japanese scents, and Yuzu is actually more of a tart, grapefruity kind of scent/flavour than an orange one, so I was excepting something a bit crisper than the (admittedly pleasantly rounded) citrus in this. It's a warm, rich scent that doesnt' really evoke yuzu or cocoa in particular but more of a chocolate and orange cake-type smell. It's lovely - just not what i was expecting when I was promised yuzu!

Lush are going to town with the bright colours at the moment, and this is no different, being a radioactive bright yellow. It's not my scene, colourwise, but does quite suit the product scent. Characteristic of the recent batches of Lush Shower Creams, it's thicker and creamier - prior batches have been liquid-y and harder to use.

The packaging is the standard Lush bottle with graphic black and white font on a clear bottle. These are clearly labelled with ingredients, expiration dates etc, which is always a plus.

This isn't a lathering 'wash', more of a cleansing, nourishing cream. It leaves skin feeling lovely, lightly scented, and smooth.

So, why the 3/5 for 'Would I use it again'? The bright yellow, the pleasant but unremarkable scent, and the fact that Lush simply do others I prefer. I'd use this again, happily. Would I actively choose it? Maybe not.

I got a little 100ml bottle of this in a giftset I purchased from lush at the start on the year. I've been trying to use some others up first but I was definitely looking forward to trying this one out.

This concoction is a very bright yellow. I almost feel like a bright orange would suit it more though. Not that the colour matters of course! This comes in the standard lush gel bottles, at least with the colour being very bright, it's different from other lush gels so you would easily be able to tell which one it is if you have lots of lush shower gel like I do.

This says it is a chocolate orange scent. I really can't smell chocolate. To me, this is a fruity, tropical scent. With a hint of coconut and a nice strong citrus, it's not even really an orange citrus. I get a slight grapefuit hint. I'm not sure what yuzu is supposed to smell like. It's not sweet, but very vibrant and fresh. It's not my most favourite scent from lush but I do enjoy using it in the shower. It scents my bathroom nicely as well while I'm using it. I imagine the scent would linger on my body, but I'm not sure as I also use body lotion and perfume which would mask it. The consistency is sort of runny but not super thin. It lathers up pretty nicely too.

My partner adores this, he saw me grab it out of the shower just now to write a review and he wanted to know what I was doing taking it out! I'm pretty sure I'd buy a bottle separately at some stage, I'm hoping to pick up some gift sets in the boxing day sales which would hopefully have a bottle of this in them too. I'd recommend if you do like that sort of tropical scent, but just don't expect a choc note.
