Green Shower Elixir Shower Gel from Lush

The Green Shower Elixir Shower Gel is the first of the Wicked X Lush collaboration products that I will be reviewing for you. I was lucky enough to receive a bottle of it as a gift from Lush.

With the highly anticipated release of the film Wicked, Lush have created a new range, jam packed with Land-of-Oz inspired wonders.

Each product within the collection oozes the magic of Oz, showcasing some very unusual yet beautifully harmonious ingredient blends that shouldn’t work together, but somehow do… No other Lush collection has ever smelt this good!

Everything about this shower gel screams Wicked. From the shade of green that it is, to its incredibly detailed label, you can tell just by looking at it that a lot of time and thought went into each and every aspect of it.

The Green Shower Elixir shower gel contains some of the following ingredients: willow herb decoction, glycerine, water, litsea cubeba oil, Brazilian orange oil and benzoin resinoid.

Its scent is brand new to Lush and is described by Lush as being, ‘an elixir so enchanting, it’ll have the whole of Oz ready to go green!’

I always struggle to describe scents but the first word that comes to mind when I give Green Shower Elixir a sniff is juicy. It reminds me of when you take the first bite of a melon, juicy, wet and refreshing. It’s crisp, fruity, moreish and smells just like I imagine a green magic potion to smell.

The Green Shower Elixir is a clear emerald-green coloured shower gel, it’s reasonably thick but comes out of the bottle easily.

A very small amount of the Green Shower Elixir shower gel goes a long way, It effortlessly lathers up into a smooth creamy paste, gently gliding over your skin leaving it softer, more hydrated and cleaner.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really takes over your bathroom, it reminds me of a big bowl of sliced up melon.

Once out of the shower the Green Shower Elixir’s scent remains on your skin for several hours. With it being quite a fruity fragrance, I am surprised at how long it lasts, normally fruity scents don’t have as much staying power but Green Shower Elixir’s scent lingers. With thanks to the glycerine in this shower gel, my skin has never felt softer or plumper.

Overall, the Green Shower Elixir is a wonderful shower gel, I hope that Lush decide to bring out more products in its scent, it would be a crime for Lush to not explore this delicious scent in other product formats!

Cempasúchil Shower Gel from Lush

The limited edition Cempasúchil bath bomb is back for another year; Now, it is however joined by a brand new shower gel that not only shares its name but also shares its scent!

The Cempasúchil Shower Gel is a part of Lush’s Día de Muertos 2024 collection and I was lucky enough to be given a bottle of it by Lush. Día de Muertos, also known as the Day of the Dead is a holiday that is traditionally celebrated on the first 2 days of November.

It is widely celebrated in Mexico but is also observed in other places especially by people of Mexican heritage.

It is a celebration in honour of family and friends who have passed. It isn’t at all a period of mourning or a sad affair, it’s a cheerful holiday where the living come together to remember their departed loved ones.

The Cempasúchil shower gel contains some of the following ingredients: marigold petal infusion, fine sea salt, bergamot oil, buchu oil and grapefruit oil.

Its scent is best described as irresistibly fruity with a tropical twist and sharp-icy-twang. It’s incredibly refreshing and so juicy it leaves me wanting to go and eat everything in our fruit bowl…

The Cempasúchil shower gel is orange and sparkly with a thick but easy to get out of the bottle consistency. As I said earlier, the shower gel shares its scent with the bath bomb of the same name.

The scent and idea behind the product is inspired by marigold flowers. The fragrant, bright orange and yellow marigold flowers are said to attract the souls of the dead. Families will often scatter marigold petals forming a path from their front door leading to their ofrenda (their offering to the departed) as a way to guide the soul’s home.

A very small amount of the Cempasúchil shower gel goes a long way, something I wasn’t expecting considering its thicker consistency. It effortlessly lathers up into a peach coloured foam that glides over your skin leaving it soft and clean.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really takes over your bathroom, it’s mouth-wateringly good!

Once out of the shower the, Cempasúchil scent remains on your skin for several hours. Though this product has been released for this specific time of year, I’d say that it has a very versatile scent that is perfect for enjoying all year round. I can see myself reaching for it especially in the Summertime.

Overall, it’s a great edition to Lush’s Día de Muertos line and has left me excited to see what Lush come up with next.

The Juice is Loose Shower Gel from Lush

Alongside the recent release of the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice film, Lush have created a limited edition collection that’s as bold and quirky as the film itself; Enter the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice X Lush collaboration!

Today I am reviewing, The Juice is Loose Shower Gel, I was lucky enough to receive a bottle of it in the post from Lush a few weeks ago.

I still haven’t had a chance to see the new film itself BUT as soon as it becomes available for home viewing, I will be buying it. I am more than a little bit curious to see what has been going on in the Beetlejuice universe since the ending of the first film released back in 1988.


The Juice is Loose shower gel is a rich, deep shade of purple. This exact shade of purple oozes regal charm demanding everyone’s instant attention. It is actually the same shade of purple as the dresses my bridesmaids wore at my wedding several years ago.

Naturally, this made it the first product from the Beetlejuice X Lush collaboration that caught my eye.

The Juice is Loose shower gels fragrance is the same as the Grape Soda body spray as well as the, The Afterlife bath bomb from the same line.

Some of the ingredients contained in the, The Juice is Loose shower gel are, red clover flower infusion, glycerine, juniper berry oil, sweet wild orange and carrageenan extract.

The Juice is Loose shower gels scent is best described as quite an artificial one; Artificial however doesn’t mean it is an unpleasant scent. Grape Soda as a flavour is not as popular in the UK, as it is in the USA. I can therefore see this shower gel selling better in the USA compared to the UK, but time will tell!

While writing my review on the Grape Soda body spray I did a little research on the flavour/scent. I found out that American’s have more of a palate for fruity flavours that are more artificial or exaggerated compared to the British who are more accustomed to fruity flavours that are more natural and/or less intense.

Think of the, The Juice is Loose shower gels scent as a synthetic interpretation of grapes. It’s sour, tangy and very strong.

Consistency wise the, The Juice is Loose shower gel is incredibly runny. With a name like ‘The Juice is Loose’, this however was to be expected.

With it being so runny, I find myself accidentally using more of the shower gel than I normally would per shower, but it lathers up quickly and is soothing on your skin.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really takes over your bathroom, it’s a very strongly scented shower gel so probably better suited to someone that is into the stronger Lush scent families.

Once out of the shower the, The Juice is Loose scent remains on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day. The artificial element of the scent soon dampens down making it more tolerable for those that like their cosmetics scents to be a little more subtle. Overall, it’s a great edition to the Beetlejuice X Lush line!
