Lush Easter – Lush Upon A Time

Froggy Friend Shower Jelly from Lush

The Froggy Friend Shower Jelly is a limited-edition product from Lush’s 2025 Easter range.

It is a pale, aqua green colour and made into the most delightful little frog shape. It has two large, bulging eyes, dimpled cheeks, a big smiley mouth, speckled head and four dinky frog feet with little froggy toes!

Each Froggy Friend shower jelly comes in at a generous 190g, making it almost twice the size of the other recently released shower jellies such as Coffee Morning shower jelly.

It contains some of the following ingredients: glycerine, soya milk, carrageenan extract, lemon myrtle oil, grapefruit oil and ylang ylang oil.

Froggy Friend shares its scent with the popular Snow Dragon bath bomb from previous Winter collections and belongs to the Baked Alaska Lush-scent-family.

Its fragrance is best described as bright and zingy, think fresh citrus with a sharp, springy edge. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for sluggish mornings, cutting through grogginess and giving you a much-needed boost.

As a novelty shaped jelly, I did worry how well Froggy Friend would hold up during use. Unfortunately, it didn’t last long, within seconds of trying to lather it up, two of my Froggy’s little feet fell off… While it sadly didn’t keep its froggy form for long, the shower jelly did still lather up just fine and remained completely usable.

There’s no right or wrong way to use a shower jelly. I prefer to use mine whole, like a bar of soap, others however like to chop theirs into chunks – especially handy if you’re sharing it with someone. Once you’ve used your jelly, simply rinse it off and pop it back into its pot ready for next time.

Despite falling apart on first use, Froggy Friend produced a great lather with very little effort. It left my skin feeling clean, fresh and lightly fragranced.

The heat and steam from the shower helped its scent blossom too, temporarily turning the whole bathroom into a citrusy, super energising steam room!

Post shower, my skin felt refreshed and revived, though I did find it a touch drier than usual. Nothing a quick splash of moisturiser couldn’t however solve. The fragrance lingered on my skin for about an hour afterwards too.

Overall, I really enjoyed the Froggy Friend shower jelly. Its charming design made me smile, and although I’d have liked it to stay whole for a little longer, its flimsiness didn’t take away from how well it performed as a shower jelly. It washed beautifully and delivered an instant energy boost!

Cheep Cheep Bath Bomb from Lush

The Cheep Cheep Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Easter line.

Weighing in at just 75g each, Cheep Cheep is one of Lush’s smaller bath bombs. With it being so small, it’s also very cheap, no pun intended!

When the 2024 Easter collection was first announced the Cheep Cheep bath bomb caught my eye straight away as I can never resist a bath bomb that has eyes.

Looking at ALL of the bath bombs in this year’s Easter and Mother’s Day lines, it has never been harder to believe that they are all handmade.

The Cheep Cheep bath bomb is a bright yellow chick shaped bath bomb. Some of its ingredients include both bergamot and lime oils, violet leaf absolute, fine sea salt and a generous helping of popping candy.

Its scent is very similar to the Ostara bath bomb and What’s Up, Doc? Shower gel from past Easter lines. They are pretty much identical BUT I feel as if the Cheep Cheep bath bomb has a stronger berry scent-layer within it, somehow it smells more tropical to me.

Cheep Cheep’s scent is refreshing and fruity making it perfect for the Springtime and all-things-Easter. It’s a very berry-led-scent, the more you sniff it the more layers of fragrance seem to come through. If you like the Lush products that are fruity but not citrus heavy, it’s a perfect choice for you.

I don’t quite know how, but the blend of bergamot, lime and other ingredients in this bath bomb really gives off a raspberry like scent. It’s not an easy one to describe, it is a little citrusy but completely different from any citrus-Lush-scent made before.

As soon as the Cheep Cheep bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a hiss of yellow bubbles.

The Cheep Cheep bath bomb doesn’t offer anything bath-art-wise but quickly turns your bath water the same bright yellow as the bath bomb.

While the bath bomb fizzes away, its inviting-fruity-scent fills your bathroom.

It took just a little over 2 minutes for the Cheep Cheep bath bomb to fully dissolve, I thought at first that I’d missed the popping candy in it but as I went to lay back to just enjoy the fruity scented hot-water, snap, crackle, and pops began to sizzle away!

As I said earlier, the waters left behind by the Cheep Cheep bath bomb were bright yellow.

Once the bath bomb has fully dissolved the yellow water is really soft and still highly fragranced. A good soak in a Cheep Cheep bath left my skin feeling brighter and more refreshed. The scent could still be detected in my bathroom long after the last drop of bath water went down the plug hole too.

The scent also remained on my skin for a good few hours after getting out of the bath.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Cheep Cheep bath bomb. Nothing can upstage its beautiful scent!

Easter Turtle Shower Jelly from Lush

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.
