Get Outta My Swamp Shower Slime from Lush

The Get Outta My Swamp Shower Slime is one of the brand-new products from the Lush X Shrek collaboration.

Ahead of the products website release on the 25th of March (2024) I was lucky enough to be gifted a pot of it by Lush and I can’t thank them enough for this.

Reviewing Lush products is just a hobby of mine, I never expect to be gifted anything, I am incredibly grateful just knowing that Lush know I exist in the first place!

All of the Lush X Shrek goodies are inspired by the Shrek franchise, but none are more ogre-appropriate than this glorious, yellowy-green shower slime…


Lush’s invention of the shower slime is a real conversation starter, and over the last few years I have heard mixed reviews on the concept of them BUT, I have yet to hear a single negative review from anyone who has actually used one.

Shower slime IS very slime-like BUT it’s not that much different to a shower gel. In fact, you pretty much use them just as you would a shower gel. They have a thicker, more tacky, milky-dough-like-consistency but are not at all sticky.

The Get Outta My Swamp shower slime shares its scent with another product from the Lush X Shrek collection, the Shrek Swamp bath bomb.

Some of the ingredients found in the Get Outta My Swamp shower slime are fresh wheatgrass juice, glycerine, corn starch, xanthan gum, pine oil, vetivert oil, peppermint oil and cocoa absolute.

Upon opening the lid, I can immediately smell the peppermint in it, the more you sniff the more layers of its fragrance seem to come through. I can also smell chocolate although it is subtle.

A small amount of the Get Outta My Swamp shower slime goes a long way making it very cost effective. As I said earlier, you use a shower slime in the exact same way as you would a shower gel. Scoop however much you want out of the pot then begin to lather it into your skin.

Looking into the pot the Get Outta My Swamp shower slime looks like a darker green colour but as you scoop it out of the pot and start to manipulate it in your hands you see that it is an almost luminous yellow. Coating yourself in it leaves you looking just like an ogre!

I must admit, I did panic a little when I see just how bright it was on my skin, but this super-creamy shower product easily rinsed off leaving my skin clean, soothed, and silky.

Once the Get Outta My Swamp shower slime is in amongst the hot water and steam of the shower its scent intensifies, you can really smell earthy notes in it too now.



Once out of the shower, the scent of the Get Outta My Swamp shower slime can still be detected on your skin several hours after using it.

What I wasn’t expecting from a shower slime was how soft it left my skin, it not only feels softer but also looks brighter too.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Get Outta My Swamp shower slime, it not only does a good job of cleansing your skin but is also fun to use too. I can see this product being fun for all of the family, especially if you’re a Shrek fan already!

Royalty Bath Bomb from Lush

The Royalty Bath Bomb started off as a Lush Japan Harajuku-store-exclusive.

It also became one of the six exclusive bath bombs that were available to purchase in very limited amounts at the 2018 Lush UK Showcase; Each of the six bath bombs were sold for one hour only over the two day event (I don’t think I’ve ever experienced FOMO so intensely.)

Luckily, Lush see sense and it became readily available online for the 30 years-of-bath-bombs celebration back in 2019.

Since then, it was discontinued to make way for other products BUT with the Lush Kitchen Subscription box items now being announced ahead of their release, we know that it will be available in the May 2024 box.

Here I am, finally pulling my socks up and finishing my review of it!

Royalty is a golden-yellow crown shaped bath bomb with pink points to look like the crown has jewels.

Some of the ingredients included in the Royalty bath bomb are jasmine absolute, ylang ylang oil, sandalwood oil and vanilla absolute.

Its scent is best described as musky, the vanilla mixed with the jasmine gives it a burst of sweet floral too. 

If jasmine is in a cosmetic product, it is normally the dominant scent, but the vanilla in the Royalty bath bomb really dampens the jasmine down. As someone who doesn’t enjoy heavy jasmine scents, this was a positive for me.

As soon as the Royalty bath bomb comes into contact with the water you are greeted with a burst of bright yellow foam.

As the Royalty bath bomb fizzes away more colours spill out of it. Green and pink blobs separate from the bomb in a similar way to the colourful bits that are in the Golden Wonder bath bomb.

Considering its size, I was surprised to see that the Royalty bath bomb had fully dissolved in just shy of four minutes. This didn’t give the bath bomb much chance to create any notable bath art (although as you can see in the photo below it was colourful, just for a very short amount time.)

Sadly, the scent really dampened down to the point I couldn’t smell it at all after the bath bomb had fully dissolved.

The end water was however a beautiful shimmery yellow; The scent didn’t stay on my skin (If I am being honest I’m unsure if the scent was ever on my skin at all) but my skin did feel a lot softer than it did before I’d used the Royalty bath bomb.

Overall, I thought the Royalty bath bomb was beautifully made and one that really stood out, especially piled up high at the 2018 Lush showcase but I would have liked to have seen more bath art from it during use.

By Night One Way, By Day Another Body Spray from Lush

This March, Lush have released yet another amazingly popular collaboration line. This small but impressive line is inspired by no other than the Shrek franchise!

Today I am reviewing the By Night One Way, By Day Another Body Spray.

As you can see from the photos I have included in this review, the By Night One Way, By Day Another body spray has such a detailed product label featuring princess Fiona.

The magical part of this label is that it glows in the dark.

By day the picture of princess Fiona is a human and at night (in the dark) you can see a glow-in-the-dark version of princess Fiona as an ogre, just like in the Shrek movie!

The attention to detail from Lush in each of their products always blows my mind but this label really puts this product out there in a league of its own.

The By Night One Way, By Day Another body spray’s scent is brand new to Lush but also features in the Fiona shower gel from the same Lush X Shrek line.

The By Night One Way, By Day Another body spray contains some of the following ingredients, mango leaf absolute, violet leaf absolute and Persian lime oil.

Lush describe the body spray on their website as a ‘fairytale blend of lime and mango leaf with notes of fresh juicy melon and crisp green apple’.

Immediately after spraying the By Night One Way, By Day Another body spray you’re hit with a blend of lime and mango.

After it’s been on your skin for while crisp apple notes then come through and so does the melon aspect of the fragrance.

When Lush described the melon notes of this body spray as juicy, they weren’t wrong. It’s hard for me to put into words but I can really smell just how juicy the melon is. In some ways it’s just like you’re eating a melon…

As the body spray settles greener notes come through too, it really is just like a fairytale forest!

With the By Night One Way, By Day Another body spray being such a fruit dominant fragrance I was expecting its staying power to be weak but I was pleasantly surprised that the body spray didn’t need a top up until about 8 hours later. One quick spritz is all you need to leave you smelling great all day.

Overall, I love the By Night One Way, By Day Another body spray; The scent captures princess Fiona as a character so well and also ties in the whole fairytale theme too.

I hope this isn’t the last we see of this fresh and fruity Lush fragrance, I’d love to see it in other product formats in the future, a bath bomb or body lotion equivalent would be delicious.
