The Easter Turtle Shower Jelly is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Easter line. I was lucky enough to get to try it before its initial release date as Lush kindly sent me one.
Designed to look just like a giant sea turtle, I couldn’t wait to give it a go in the shower.
The Easter Turtle is a mix of different shades of green and HUGE. Each jelly is 220g making it even bigger than both the Monster Octopus shower jelly and Tarantula shower jelly.
The Easter Turtle shower jelly contains bladderwrack seaweed infusion, sugar kelp infusion, carrageenan extract, myrrh resinoid, orange flower absolute and cinnamon leaf oil.
It shares its scent with the Apple Crumble bubble bar, Temptation shower gel and Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel bath bomb.
Straight out of the pot it’s an intense and warm fragrance, there’s an element of baked apples in there but I can also smell something I can only describe as being very green. At one point I was wrongly convinced it had elements of the Grass Lush-scent-family in it too.
Anyone who knows me personally will know that a sea turtle is one of my favourite animals and one I have been lucky enough to swim with in the Indian Ocean. This sea turtle shaped shower jelly has made me reflect on some of my most treasured memories.
With Easter Turtle being a novelty shaped shower jelly, I wondered how long it would last as unfortunately I find more often than not, that the novelty shaped jellies aren’t always as sturdy and robust as the normal, pot-shaped-ones.
As predicted, the Easter Turtle shower jelly did get a little flimsy after just a few uses. However, I’d rather use it and lose it than not use it at all… So far, I’ve used it 4 times and although it is showing a small amount of wear and tear, there’s plenty more of it to go around yet.
There is no right or wrong way to use a shower jelly, I prefer to use mine in the same way as you would a bar of soap, whole. Some people however chop their shower jellies up using a few pieces at a time, this is a good method if you’re sharing it with someone else.
If you do keep it whole, as I mentioned above, the Easter Turtle shower jelly is big enough to fit in your hand. It is a lot easier to keep a hold of in the shower being so big. Once you’ve used it simply rinse it off and then pop it back into the pot until you next want to use it.
The Easter Turtle shower jelly lathers up quickly, once you have enough of a lather it in your hands pop the shower jelly back in its pot and start to work your wet hands together.
Before I ever use a Lush product that I plan on reviewing, I always take photos beforehand. When taking the above photo, all I did was take the Easter Turtle out of its pot and place it into my bathtub so that I could get a photo of it. I hardly had any contact with it at all but could smell it on my hands/wrists for the rest of the day.
You do not have to lather the Easter Turtle for very long at all, a very small amount of it goes a long way.
As I stated earlier, The Easter Turtle shower jellies scent is intense. As soon as you take the pots lid off, you are hit with its fragrance BUT in use, the scent seems to explode, filling your bathroom and drenching your skin with its fragrance.
After using the Easter Turtle shower jelly my skin feels soft, warm, clean, and refreshed.
Overall, I really enjoyed using the Easter Turtle shower jelly, it has such a strong and unique fragrance that seems to work in whatever format Lush decide to release it in.
