This March, Lush released yet another influx of collaboration products and I’ve never been more excited with a collection.
The small but impressive line that was released online yesterday (25th of March 2024) is inspired by no other than the Shrek franchise!
Each of the brand-new products from the Lush X Shrek collection are said to celebrate everyone’s inner-swampy-self and contrasts with the ‘clean girl’ aesthetic of recent years.
Ahead of the products online release, I was lucky enough to be gifted most of the line by Lush. thanks again Lush, you’ve made my month with this surprise box of Shrek goodies!
As you can see from the photos I have included in this review, the Fiona shower gel has such an incredibly detailed product label featuring princess Fiona’s face as a human and as an ogre.
Lush were wise to use these types of visuals on their packaging for this line, I know Lush would prefer no packaging for their products at all but I feel that a huge part of this shower gels appeal is the beautiful art on its bottle.
The almost glowing neon green Fiona Shower Gel contains fine sea salt, fresh cucumber juice, mango leaf absolute, violet leaf absolute, Persian lime oil and buchu oil.
Its scent is brand new to Lush and is described on their website as a ‘fragrant fairytale blend’.
As soon as you take the shower gels lid off, you’re hit with an apple and mango fragrance. The more you sniff the more that seems to come through. Sniffing it straight from the bottle there’s also melon-like notes in it too.
Consistency wise, the Fiona shower gel is very easy to get out of the bottle, it’s a fairly translucent green, reminding me of stained glass (which happens to be featured in quite a famous scene in the Shrek movie!)
The Fiona shower gel is slightly less thick than the likes of the Luigi shower gel (another green shower gel from Lush’s past) I’m guessing this looser consistency is because of the fresh cucumber juice in it.
Although I have said that the consistency of this shower gel is looser it is by no means runny. A very small amount of the Fiona shower gel goes a long way too which is always a plus with Lush products.
What I wasn’t expecting with the Fiona shower gel was how its scent seemed to develop once mixed in with the hot water and steam of the shower.
The Fiona shower gel lathers up easily and during use you’re hit with several more layers of scent notes. The first new note that I noticed was lime-like, it seems to blend with the apple in it giving it a sour-apple edge.
The more I lathered up the shower gel the more I could smell, there’s a freshly cut grass element to it and the cucumber in it really comes through too.
After use, my skin not only appears brighter but is left feeling super clean and hydrated. The scent lingers on your skin for a good few hours too.
Overall, I love the Fiona shower gel; The scent captures princess Fiona as a character so well and the best news is, there’s a body spray equivalent! I promise to get a review of the body spray up in the next few days.
I hope this isn’t the last we see of this fresh and fruity Lush fragrance, I’d love to see it in other product formats in the future.
