The Kiss Me Quick Shower Jelly is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2024 Valentine’s Day line. Designed to look just like a big, juicy pair of lips I couldn’t wait to give it a try in the shower.
Kiss Me Quick is a fairly small, darker red shower jelly. at just 85g, it fits perfectly in my hand making it very easy to use.
The Kiss Me Quick shower jelly contains fresh strawberry juice, fair trade aloe vera gel, clove bud oil, mimosa absolute and tonka absolute.
It shares its scent with the Kiss Me Quick wash card from Lush’s 2018 Valentine’s line. Straight out of the pot it’s an intensely sweet strawberry like fragrance.
With Kiss Me Quick 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 Kiss Me Quick shower jelly did begin falling apart 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 3 times and although it is showing wear and tear, there’s plenty more 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 Kiss Me Quick shower jelly is just the right size to fit snuggly in your hand. It is a lot easier to keep a hold of in the shower being this size. 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 Kiss Me Quick shower jelly lathers up quickly, once you have enough of it in your hands pop the shower jelly back in its pot and start to rub your hands together, this is the point where the shower jellies residue turns super milky. A very small amount of it goes a long way, I think I only lathered up the shower jelly in my hands 3 or 4 times before placing it back in the pot.
As I stated earlier, The Kiss Me Quick shower jellies scent is quite intense. As soon as you take the pots lid off, you are hit with its strawberry fragrance BUT in use, the scent seems to change somewhat. Mixed alongside the hot water and steam of the shower, the clove bud oil seems to take over making it a spicy strawberry scent. On paper, it sounds like a spicy strawberry wouldn’t work, yet it does!
After using the Kiss Me Quick shower jelly my skin feels soft, warm, and perfectly refreshed. The clove bud oil in it has made it one of my favourite Winter products. It warms and soothes my cold achy muscles just as well as the likes of the Hot Toddy shower gel.
Overall, I really enjoyed using the Kiss Me Quick shower jelly a lot more than I thought I would, it’s such a unique fragrance, fruity yet spicy. I’d love to see it released in other product formats in the future.
