Luigi Shower Gel from Lush

Lush’s most recent collaboration with the, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is Lush’s most popular collaborations to date. Today I’m going to be reviewing the Luigi Shower Gel. This neon green shower gel has been flying off of the shelves since its release.

Both shower gels from the, The Super Mario Bros. collection, Luigi and Mario, are remakes of older shower gels. Mario is a remake of Santa’s Christmas and Luigi is a remake of the So White shower gel.

Remakes of older products can sometimes be a little boring and feel stale but Lush have really outdone themselves with the Luigi shower gel, IT IS PERFECT. Everything I wasn’t too keen on in the So White version has been perfected in Luigi. I absolutely adore the Luigi shower gel; I’m going as far as to say that I think it’s my favourite shower gel Lush have ever released. EVER. It puts all of the others to shame.

As I said earlier, the Luigi shower gel is neon green, the scent it comes in is from the So White/Once Upon A Time Lush-scent-family. I much prefer the Luigi shower gel over the So White shower gel because the formula is much better; It’s thicker and doesn’t need a good shake before using it. With it being a much thicker formula, it doesn’t slip out of the bottle so easily, So White was always very watery, which is the complete opposite of Luigi.

Even though the Luigi shower gel is quite thick it’s easy to get out of the bottle making it perfect for people like me who have bad hands. You can see from the photo above how sturdy the formula is by how well the blob in the photo is formed.

The Luigi shower gel contains a long list of ingredients; bergamot oil, Brazilian orange oil, rose absolute, neroli oil, orange flower absolute and fresh apple juice, to name just a few!

The So White/Once Upon A Time Lush-scent-family has always been my favourite from Lush. It’s best described as crisp, freshly sliced apples. Past products that share the same scent include, the Rumba shower jelly, Once Upon A Time body lotion and body spray, the Partridge in a Pear Tree, and Atom Heart Mother bath bombs.

The scent of the Luigi shower gel is at its best when it comes together with the hot water and steam of your shower. I have tried this scent family in so many product formats before now, but none have carried the scent as well as the Luigi shower gel.

The sweet apple scent is so incredibly mouth-watering; it just works so well in the shower gel format. The scent of the shower gel quickly fills your bathroom and remains in the air and on your skin, long after you’ve got out of the shower. After use, my skin is left super-clean, perfectly hydrated, and silky-smooth to the touch.

I am devastated that the Luigi shower gel is only a limited-edition product as it really is the best Lush shower gel I have ever used. I have my fingers crossed that the Super Mario Bros makes as many films as Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts combined so that there’s always an excuse for Lush to stock it. 😉

What more can I say about this incredible shower gel? I didn’t think it was possible to get so excited over a shower gel but here I am! Do I recommend the Luigi shower gel? YES!!! Grab it while you can and make sure you save a bottle or 4 for me while you’re at it!

Mario Shower Gel from Lush

Lush’s most recent collaboration with the, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is Lush’s most popular collaborations yet. Today I’m going to be reviewing the Mario Shower Gel. This bright red shower gel has gone down a storm with Lush customers and has brought in a whole load of new customers too! Interestingly, Mario isn’t the first bottled shower product that Lush have released in its scent. You’ll recognise its scent if you were lucky enough to try the Santa’s Christmas shower cream back in the Winter of 2017.

The most obvious difference between the 2 products is that Mario is a shower gel and Santa’s Christmas was a shower cream, but both are used in the same way. As someone who has had a chance to use both I can say which of the 2 I think were better. Without hesitation I’d pick the Mario shower gel every time.

As you can see from the photographs I have included in this review, the Mario shower gel is the brightest of reds, fitting in with Mario the character perfectly.

As I said earlier, I much prefer the Mario shower gel over the Santa’s Christmas shower cream that shared its scent. The formula is so much better, it’s a bolder red and so smooth that it oozes out of the bottle.

The Mario shower gel contains fresh pomegranate juice, benzoin resinoid and the following essential oils, Persian lime, aniseed, and black pepper. Its scent is magnificent, it’s just like a tall glass of fizzy cola with a slice of lime on its side, it’s tangy, sweet, and packed full of energy.

This truly beautiful shower gel is thick but easily glides out of the bottle, it is, in my opinion the perfect consistency for a shower gel. Another great thing about the Mario shower gel is that a very little amount of it goes an incredibly long way. You only need the smallest amount of it to wash your whole body. It lathers up quickly and cleans your skin with ease.

The scent of the Mario shower gel is at its best when it comes together with the hot water and steam of your shower. The scent fills your bathroom and remains in the air, long after you’ve got out of the shower. It not only leaves my skin clean, hydrated, brighter, and incredibly soft it also leaves it lightly scented with the cola scent too.

If you have read my review on the Love shower gel, you’ll know how disappointed I was for all of the UK customers that couldn’t get it in a bottle (Lush UK decided that the UK would only be offered the sphere options in 2023). I am thanking the Lush gods that Lush decided to scrap the spheres as I’d have been devastated to miss out on a bottled Mario shower gel. I doubt Lush would have released the Mario Bros. shower gels in anything but a bottle regardless of scrapping the spheres or not though…

2022 was Lush’s best year for shower gels, I didn’t think it was possible to top it but Lush have well and truly topped 2022 shower-gel-wise and we’re only 3 months in to 2023! Do I recommend the Mario shower gel? YES, YES, YES! Go grab a bottle before it’s too late!

Assassin Shower Gel from Lush

The first time that I tried the Assassin Shower Gel was way back in 2017. The week before its arrival I had ordered a bottle of the Ol’ Blue Skies shower gel alongside several other items from the Lush Kitchen. Unfortunately, upon delivery my bottle of Ol’ Blue Skies was missing from my box.

I got in touch with Lush but sadly they’d run out Ol’ Blue Skies so couldn’t replace it.

Instead of getting a refund I decided to go with Lush’s suggestion of them sending out a surprise-replacement-product… Enter the Assassin shower gel!

Without this whole thing happening, I’d never normally go for a product like Assassin always opting for the brighter coloured, fruiter shower gels.

This is what makes Assassin so special to me, had this accident never have happened I wouldn’t have ever got to try and enjoy the Assassin shower gel. If I’m being perfectly honest, I actually prefer it over the Ol’ Blue Skies shower gel.

If you like the earthy more natural smelling products such as the Grass shower gel then the Assassin shower gel would be a good choice for you. The Assassin shower gel is a dark shade of leafy-green and has a thick but easy to get out of the bottle consistency.

The Assassin shower gel contains a long list of ingredients, some of those included are oakmoss absolute and the following essential oils, cypress, Sicilian lemon, and patchouli.

Its scent isn’t an easy one to describe, it’s green and fresh just like a pine forest. Elements of it really make me think of the Tramp Lush scent family, it’s like the Grass scent blended with the Tramp scent.

Its scent really reminds me of my grandad, I’m not sure what aftershave he used to use (I know it wasn’t Lush) but there’s something about the oakmoss ingredient that always makes me feel like I’m sat next to him on the sofa watching his favourite tv shows again. If you like non-synthetic more natural scents, then the Assassin shower gel would be a good choice for you.

The Assassin shower gel lathers up easily and a very small amount of it goes a long way. Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really comes to life, if you shut your eyes, it’s as if you’re actually showering in a forest.

Once out of the shower the Assassin scent remains on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day, it’s so strongly scented too. Why Lush haven’t made this into a perfume is a mystery. It leaves my skin clean, fresh, and ready to take on the day. 

Overall, I love the Assassin shower gel, it’s not my normal go-to scent but I’m so glad I was sent it. I’ve heard rumours that it may be a product in April 2023’s Lush Kitchen subscription box, I have my fingers crossed!

Golden Egg Shower Gel from Lush

The Golden Egg Shower Gel is a brand-new, limited-edition, Easter product that first became available in the UK at the start of March 2023. Interestingly, Golden Egg isn’t the first shower gel that Lush have released in its scent. You’ll recognise its scent if you’ve ever tried the It’s Raining Men/Honey I Washed the Kids shower gels before.

The difference between the Golden Egg and Honey I Washed the Kids shower gels (apart from the sparklingly obvious) is that Golden Egg is vegan. I am so happy for all of the vegan customers that now get to try this shower gel, it’s been something Lush customers have been asking for, for a very long time.

As you can see from the photographs I have included in this review, the Golden Egg shower gel is the most sparkly shower gel Lush have ever released.

The Golden Egg shower gel is liquid gold, just looking at how bright and sparkly it is in the bottle is mesmerising. The Golden Egg shower gel contains bergamot and Brazilian orange oils, its scent is simply delicious. It’s a sweet honey-like fragrance with hints of caramel. Some products I have reviewed that share its scent are the Shoot for the Stars bath bomb and most recently the Golden Angel bubble bar.

This truly beautiful shower gel isn’t as thick as the other most recent shower gels to have been released by Lush so I recommend giving the bottle a good shake before using it.

Golden Egg shower gel comes out of the bottle easily and a little amount of it goes a long way. You only need the smallest amount of it to wash your whole body. Seeing it so sparkly in your hand, I wouldn’t blame anyone for using a little more than is necessary! I recommend lathering the Golden Egg shower gel up slowly to get the best out of it, it isn’t incredibly foamy, but it cleans your skin with ease.

The Golden Egg shower gels scent really shines through when it comes together with the hot water and steam of your shower. Unfortunately, the scent doesn’t last for very long on your skin after use, BUT it does leave my skin clean, appearing brighter, feeling softer and is also actually quite hydrating.

If you have read my review on the Love shower gel, you’ll know how disappointed I was for all of the UK customers that couldn’t get it in a bottle (Lush UK decided that the UK would only be offered the sphere options). I am thanking the Lush gods that Lush decided to scrap the spheres as I’d have been devastated to miss out on this bottled shower gel.

There has never been a more beautiful shower gel from Lush. It looks, smells, and feels magnificent. It wouldn’t surprise me if Lush decided to retire the Honey I Washed the Kids shower gel only to replace it with the Golden Egg shower gel. I know some people think I’m crazy for getting so excited over a shower gel but it really is so good, I cannot recommend it enough!

Grass Shower Gel from Lush

Grass Shower Gel has been available from Lush on and off for well over 10 years and has very recently come back again as an all-year-round product. Most recently the Grass scent featured in 2023’s Lunar-New-Year bath bomb, Gold Rabbit. With Gold Rabbit being so popular it has introduced new customers to the Grass scent while also reuniting older customers with it too.

All of the customers that cannot get enough of the bath bomb have been pointed in the direction of the shower gel and yet again, it’s flying off of the shelves. Some of the photos in this review I actually took back in 2018, it’s taken me a while to get around to reviewing it but better late than never!

The Grass shower gel is a khaki green colour, it’s quite a thin formula compared to a lot of the newer released shower gels, so I recommend giving the bottle a little shake before using it.

The Grass shower gel contains a long list of ingredients, some of those included are the following essential oils, sandalwood, bergamot and neroli. Also included in it is plenty of fresh wheatgrass juice and fine sea salt.

The scent is best described as being very similar to freshly cut grass. It’s earthy, fresh, and warm. Every time I get a whiff of it, I am transported to a beautiful summer’s day, I can hear birds singing and the neighbour’s lawn mower mowing away in the distance. Grass shower gel has a warmth to it that makes me think of the sun which instantly makes me happy too.

If you like non-synthetic more natural scents (AKA not Snow Fairy shower gel) then the Grass shower gel would be a good choice for you. It has a beautiful calming fragrance and thanks to the neroli oil in it, it brightens your mood too.

The Grass shower gel lathers up easily and a very small amount of it goes a long way. Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really comes to life, it’s literally like you’re showering outside, freshly cut grass under your feet.

Once out of the shower the Grass scent remains on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day, although it is not as strong on your skin as it is straight out of the bottle it is still noticeable. It leaves your skin clean and looking and feeling refreshed.

Overall, I love the Grass shower gel and am very glad to have it back in my life, it always seems to sell well so I don’t understand why Lush took it away, let’s hope that this time round it is here to stay!

Love Shower Gel from Lush

The Love Shower Gel is a part of Lush’s 2023 Valentine’s Day line. Sadly, the bottled version is available everywhere but the UK. Luckily, a good friend was able to grab me a bottle and I’m so happy about it as I really do have a ridiculous fear of missing out when it comes to Lush products…

Love is a clear red shower gel. It looks fairly similar to the Rose Jam shower gel although I’d say it’s a lot brighter and a much bolder red.

Love has a thick but easy to get out of the bottle consistency. You’ll recognise its scent if you were ever lucky enough to experience the Fizzbanger bath bomb, to this day I’m still sad that Lush discontinued it. Another product that shares its scent is the Whole Lotta Love bubbleroon from Lush’s 2018 Valentine’s Day line.

Love contains a long list of fresh ingredients including, rose, lemon grass, ylang ylang and bergamot oils. Its scent is quite difficult to describe as it has so many layers. It’s fruity, floral, and also a little spicy too. While some Lush products are classed as being from the same scent-family (sharing certain ingredients) different product formats can make their scent differ in very small ways.

I have found the shower gel to be most like the aforementioned Fizzbanger bath bomb. The rose in it is quite dominant but you also get so much lemon grass from it too. On paper, the ingredients look like they’d clash terribly yet, they just work.

I have to mention here that I feel it’s really unfortunate that so many people within the UK will be missing out on buying this shower gel. Yes, the UK have the shower sphere equivalents, but the spheres just aren’t fit for purpose. They’re a good idea and are a step in the right direction for plastic free shower products BUT the concept still needs a lot of work .

Love shower gel lathers up easily and a very small amount of it goes a very long way. Again, if you’re stuck with the shower spheres you are forced to use 10g of shower gel per shower. A small amount of the Love shower gel really does go a long way, I’d say using even 5g per shower is wasteful. If I can get more uses out of the bottled version, then that’s a good enough reason for me to like the bottled version over the single use spheres. Lush isn’t cheap, if I can make a Lush product go further, then I will.

The Love fragrance really comes to life when you start to lather it up in the shower. It’s sweet, floral and warm. Once out of the shower the Love scent remains on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day, it also does a really good job of cleansing your skin, leaving it looking and feeling brighter. 

Overall, I love, Love! I just wish Lush UK would stop being so silly with their seasonal shower gels right now, until the spheres are drastically improved, I will be sticking to bottled shower gels where I can.

Happy Holidays Shower Gel from Lush

The Happy Holidays Shower Gel was an exclusive item that was a part of Lush Kitchen’s December 2022 subscription box. Previous to this, it had been released before but under a different name, the Merry Christmas shower gel.

Back when it was the Merry Christmas shower gel, it had only been available in the 2021 advent calendar and only in a measly 100g bottle.

Having a fresh 250g bottle of it (albeit with a different name) has made me very happy indeed.

You’ll recognise the Happy Holidays shower gels scent from the discontinued, Valentine’s Day product the Cherryish body scrub.

Cherryish happens to be my most favourite of all of Lush’s body scrubs as it exfoliates and buffs my skin so well. I was therefore very excited to get another bottle of the shower gel scent-equivalent.

The Happy Holidays shower gel is jam-packed with the prettiest golden shimmer, getting a decent photo of it was ridiculously difficult, the photos included in this review do it no justice at all. You really must see it for yourself to truly appreciate it, it’s so SPARKLY!

To look at, the Happy Holidays shower gel is quite similar to the Hot Toddy shower gel.

It is however a lot brighter shimmer wise and a little more transparent.

Consistency wise, the Happy Holidays shower gel is thick but still very easy to get out of the bottle.

The Happy Holidays shower gel contains aloe vera, agave syrup, cocoa absolute, cinnamon, and almond essential oil. Its scent is a subtle cherry fragrance with a slight hint of chocolate and spice.

Its scent is both warm and tangy like a sweet and fruity jam. It lathers up in your hands easily and the chocolate element within it really comes through when mixed with the hot water and steam of the shower.

Something I often find with Lush shower gels is that less-is-more when it comes down to using them and this is the case for Happy Holidays, a little goes a very, very long way!

Comparing both the Cherryish body scrub and Happy Holidays shower gel scent wise, the shower gel is a lot stronger yet still very subtle. As I said earlier, the smallest amount of it goes a very long way. This is a huge bonus when you consider how rare the shower gel is at the time of writing this review.

Happy Holidays scent can still be detected on your skin once you’re out of the shower. It also leaves your skin appearing brighter, as well as softening it too; It’s perfect to use in the cold Winter months.

I would love to see bottles of the Happy Holidays shower gel become a main line Winter product next year and I’d also like more Cherryish scented products too!

Elf Shake Shower Gel from Lush

The Elf Shake Shower Gel is a brand-new release from Lush; It is a limited-edition product that is a part of Lush’s 2022 Christmas line. Taking into account its ingredients, I believe that its name is a play on an ‘health shake’. Changing health to Elf gives the shower gel the perfect Christmas twist. 😉

Elf Shake is an opaque, bright green shower gel. Its colour is almost identical to look at as the Glitch shower gel. On several occasions when I have been in a rush, I have mistakenly grabbed Glitch instead of Elf Shake and vice versa, not realising until after I had started to use it. They may look the same but really do have completely different, clearly identifiable scents!

Elf Shake has a thick but easy to get out of the bottle consistency, it could easily be classed as a shower cream instead of a shower gel.

Elf Shake contains a long list of fresh ingredients including, mint infusion, apple juice, grape juice, kiwi juice, lime juice, sweet wild orange oil and ylang ylang oil. Lush’s website describe it as a ‘sour gumball smoothie’.

I cannot compare its scent to anything released by Lush before, the ‘gumball’ element of the fragrance does make me think of last year’s Jolly shower gel a little BUT it is such a small amount of likeness that I almost didn’t want mention it.

If you like fruity scents that aren’t citrus-thick, Elf Shake may be a good option for you. The kiwi and apple juice in it are what my nose picks up on the most. It’s hard to describe, to me it smells like one of those super-healthy, bright-green smoothies (the pleasant on the tongue kind).

It’s mouth-wateringly good, the apple brings a crispness to it and the mint infusion rounds it off giving it a candy-cane like Christmas edge.

When it comes down to their newly released shower gels, Lush have really outdone themselves this year. As I have said in my previous 2022 shower gel reviews, Lush’s shower gel selection was in desperate need of new life and 2022 has been a brilliant year for Lush shower gels. Elf Shake isn’t my favourite from this year’s new releases, but it’s in my top 3. My husband really likes it and claims that it is the best shower gel Lush have ever released.

The Elf Shake shower gel lathers up easily and a very small amount of it goes a long way. If the rumours are true and Lush UK won’t be selling the seasonal shower gels in bottles come 2023, opting for capsules that you burst just before using instead, I will kick up a stink.

The best thing about all Lush shower gels is how such a small amount goes a long way, introducing just capsules will be such a waste. Not to mention how difficult capsules are to use for customers with bad hands due to illness or injury like me. BUT back to the thankfully, bottled Elf Shake…

…Once out of the shower the Elf Shake scent remains on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day, it also does a really good job of cleansing your skin, leaving it looking and feeling brighter. All of the fresh juice in it really does have an effect on you.

Overall, I love the Elf Shake shower gel, I have my fingers crossed that Lush UK don’t ruin their best year for shower gels yet by getting rid of the bottled shower gels come January 2023. 🤞

Blood Orange Shower Gel from Lush

The Blood Orange Shower Gel is a brand-new release from Lush; It is a limited-edition product that is a part of Lush’s 2022 Halloween line.

Blood Orange is a clear orange shower gel and has a thick but easy to get out of the bottle consistency. Consistency and visually wise, it is very similar to the discontinued Bubbly shower gel from past Winter lines.

Blood Orange contains a long list of ingredients; fresh orange juice and the following essential oils, organic blood orange, bergamot, davana and geranium oils. It’s a new Lush scent that I feel is fairly similar to the likes of the recently released, Mimosa shower gel.

I’m always honest in my reviews and in my opinion, the fact that the Blood Orange shower gel is so close in scent to the aforementioned Mimosa shower gel, has left me struggling to get excited about it. However, if I had to choose a favourite between Mimosa and Blood Orange, I’d pick Blood Orange because I prefer its less complicated scent.

If you enjoy Lush’s citrusy scents then I’d recommend Blood Orange, from the bottle it smells just like a freshly peeled orange but once mixed with the shower steam and hot water the blood orange ingredients’ bitterness really comes through, it’s sharp, energising and oh-so-fruity. If you’re a fan of the less in-your-face, more basic-scented-products, Blood Orange would be a good choice to go for.

Blood Orange is by no means an unpleasant shower gel but I will admit to preferring past Halloween shower gels a lot more. To me, its scent doesn’t scream Halloween in quite the same way as the Calacas and Very Very Frightening shower gels did and still do.

When it comes down to their newly released shower gels, Lush have really outdone themselves this year. As I have said in my previous 2022 shower gel reviews, Lush’s shower gel selection was in desperate need of new life and 2022 has been a brilliant year for Lush shower gels. Blood Orange isn’t my favourite from this year’s new releases,BUT I liked it enough to get a bottle of it straight after trying a sample of it from my local Lush store.

The Blood Orange shower gel lathers up easily and a very small amount of it goes a long way. As I touched upon earlier, once you start to lather it up and it mixes with the hot water and steam of the shower its scent becomes a punchy and bitter citrus-fruit-cocktail, it is zesty enough to awaken the weariest of souls! Once out of the shower its scent remains on your skin for the next few hours and it does a really good job of cleansing your skin too.

Overall, I do really like the Blood Orange shower gel, but I feel like Lush have released much better Halloween shower gels before. I’d go as far to say that I think Blood Orange would work better as a Spring-time-scent.

Sticky Dates Shower Gel from Lush

The Sticky Dates Shower Gel first became available to buy in April 2022 and was originally a part of Lush’s small but impressive, limited-edition Eid line. It proved very popular during the short space of time that it was available, prompting Lush to carry on selling it once Eid was over.

Whether it is now a permanent product, or just around until the summer products are retired for the year, has yet to be confirmed. There has however been rumours of a body spray equivalent so I should imagine the shower gel isn’t going away any time soon.

I’m not shy in saying that Lush’s shower gel selection has been in desperate need of new life since it discontinued the likes of The Comforter, Yuzu and Cocoa and Plum Rain shower cream and gels. The addition of the Sticky Dates shower gel really has drastically improved their all-year-round shower gel line.

The Sticky Dates shower gel looks just like chocolate sauce, it has a thick but easy to get out of the bottle consistency and lathers up effortlessly too. Its ingredient list includes some of the following: Organic date syrup, vanilla pod infusion, sunflower lecithin, fresh orange juice, carob resinoid, benzoin resinoid and sandalwood oil.

Its scent is DELICIOUS, it smells just like a hot and gooey sticky toffee pudding with a generous scoop or 2 of vanilla ice cream. Its scent alone is what is going to catapult this shower gel into becoming Lush’s next bestselling product. Mark my words, it’s a legendary shower gel that you really need to try.

One of the things I really love about Lush is the thought that goes into each and every individual Lush product. Lush never just throw random ingredients together. During Eid, dates are quite often the first food to be eaten when breaking fast. Hence the Sticky Dates shower gel starting its life as a member of their Eid product line.

When it comes down to their new-release shower gels, Lush have really outdone themselves this year. As I said earlier on in this review, Lush’s shower gel selection has been in desperate need of new life and 2022 has been a brilliant year for Lush shower gel so far. Customers have demanded new shower gels and Lush have well and truly understood the assignment with its last few releases. They just keep getting better and better. I thought the Purple Carrots shower gel was top tier, but Sticky Dates is just as good if not better.

The Sticky Dates shower gel lathers up easily and despite its name isn’t at all sticky (so don’t be put off of trying it based on its name alone). A small amount of the Sticky Dates shower gel goes a very long way. Make sure you tell this to anyone you share a shower with. My husband liked it so much almost half of the bottle was gone in a week, I told him off for being wasteful. It’s good stuff but you don’t need to use very much to get the best out of it.

Once the hot water and steam of the shower meets the shower gel and you begin to lather it up, its scent engulfs you, filling your bathroom with its delightful sticky toffee fragrance. With 25% of the shower gel being made of date syrup, it is incredibly soft on your skin too. It seems to lock in moisture just as well as a body lotion does. Overall, I cannot recommend the Sticky Dates shower gel enough and I am so glad that Lush have decided to keep it on their shelves for a little longer than what was originally planned.
