I couldn’t have been more excited when I first heard whispers of the Hello Kitty and Friends X Lush collaboration. Amongst the eight-product-lineup is the Hello Kitty and Friends Shower Gel that I will be reviewing for you today. I was very kindly gifted a bottle by Lush.
The Hello Kitty and Friends shower gel is a limited edition product that shares its scent with the Hello Kitty bath bomb and Hello Kitty and Friends perfume from the same range.
Some of the shower gels ingredients include fresh strawberry infusion, fine sea salt, Brazilian orange oil, patchouli oil, benzoin resinoid and vanilla absolute, a recipe fit for a kitty queen!
What sets this shower gel apart from others is its scent. It’s a beautiful blend of two beloved Lush scent families: Snow Fairy and Milky Bath. Initially, I was nervous about how the two would work together, I’m usually not a fan of mixing scent families BUT somehow, this blend just works.
Straight out of the bottle this shower gel’s scent is unmistakably bubblegum led, with the sweetness from the Snow Fairy shining through. Beneath that sweetness lies a musky, comforting layer – a gentle nod to Milky Bath’s soft, clean, freshly-washed-linen notes. It’s a sweet, fresh fragrance that reminds me of candyfloss grapes. Think indulgent yet soft enough to not be at all overpowering.
In terms of appearance, Hello Kitty and Friends is a crisp, white, reasonably thick gel. You only need a small amount from the bottle to create a rich, creamy lather. Once lathered up the luxurious foam glides effortlessly over your skin, cleansing and softening it as it goes.
The scent truly blossoms during use in amongst the hot steam of the shower. Interestingly, unlike the Hello Kitty bath bomb (which leans more towards the softer Milky Bath notes in use) the shower gel’s Snow Fairy side really steps into the spotlight.
The candy notes from the shower gel linger in your bathroom long after you step out of the shower. As for on the skin, it leaves a whisper of scent that can still be detected several hours after use.
Best of all, it doesn’t just leave you smelling good enough to eat, it also delivers in performance too. My skin always feels clean, refreshed, and beautifully soft after using the Hello Kitty and Friends shower gel. The fine sea salt gives it a gentle exfoliating touch, while the blend of oils ensures my skin feels nourished rather than stripped.
Overall, the Hello Kitty and Friends shower gel is a real star from this limited edition collection.
Even for someone like me, who usually shies away from scent family crossovers!
