Hello Kitty and Friends Shower Gel from Lush

I couldn’t have been more excited when I first heard whispers of the Hello Kitty and Friends X Lush collaboration. Amongst the eight-product-lineup is the Hello Kitty and Friends Shower Gel that I will be reviewing for you today. I was very kindly gifted a bottle by Lush.

The Hello Kitty and Friends shower gel is a limited edition product that shares its scent with the Hello Kitty bath bomb and Hello Kitty and Friends perfume from the same range.

Some of the shower gels ingredients include fresh strawberry infusion, fine sea salt, Brazilian orange oil, patchouli oil, benzoin resinoid and vanilla absolute, a recipe fit for a kitty queen!

What sets this shower gel apart from others is its scent. It’s a beautiful blend of two beloved Lush scent families: Snow Fairy and Milky Bath. Initially, I was nervous about how the two would work together, I’m usually not a fan of mixing scent families BUT somehow, this blend just works. 

Straight out of the bottle this shower gel’s scent is unmistakably bubblegum led, with the sweetness from the Snow Fairy shining through. Beneath that sweetness lies a musky, comforting layer – a gentle nod to Milky Bath’s soft, clean, freshly-washed-linen notes. It’s a sweet, fresh fragrance that reminds me of candyfloss grapes. Think indulgent yet soft enough to not be at all overpowering.

In terms of appearance, Hello Kitty and Friends is a crisp, white, reasonably thick gel. You only need a small amount from the bottle to create a rich, creamy lather. Once lathered up the luxurious foam glides effortlessly over your skin, cleansing and softening it as it goes.

The scent truly blossoms during use in amongst the hot steam of the shower. Interestingly, unlike the Hello Kitty bath bomb (which leans more towards the softer Milky Bath notes in use) the shower gel’s Snow Fairy side really steps into the spotlight.

The candy notes from the shower gel linger in your bathroom long after you step out of the shower. As for on the skin, it leaves a whisper of scent that can still be detected several hours after use.

Best of all, it doesn’t just leave you smelling good enough to eat, it also delivers in performance too. My skin always feels clean, refreshed, and beautifully soft after using the Hello Kitty and Friends shower gel. The fine sea salt gives it a gentle exfoliating touch, while the blend of oils ensures my skin feels nourished rather than stripped.

Overall, the Hello Kitty and Friends shower gel is a real star from this limited edition collection.

Even for someone like me, who usually shies away from scent family crossovers!

Hello Kitty Bath Bomb from Lush

I love cats, so a Hello Kitty X Lush collab was a dream come true for me, I knew as soon as I heard that it was being released that I had to try it all!

The Hello Kitty Bath Bomb is one of eight limited edition products from Lush’s new Hello Kitty and Friends X Lush range and it’s every bit as cute as you’d expect.

I was lucky enough to be gifted a Hello Kitty bath bomb from Lush.

Shaped in the main characters face; The Hello Kitty bath bomb features all of Hello Kitty’s signature details, from her single red bow to her little yellow nose!

For those that aren’t familiar with the world of Hello Kitty; Hello Kitty is one of the most famous cartoon-cats in the world. The bath bomb looks just like the cartoon Hello Kitty, so much so that it’s hard to believe it is handmade!

The Hello Kitty bath bomb is bright white with two little black eyes, she has three black whiskers either side – as well as the above mentioned signature red bow and little yellow nose.

Each of the Hello Kitty bath bombs fit snuggly in my hand and are approximately 130g.

Her red bow is actually a bath melt stuck to her head, it is made of hydrating illipe butter and her cute yellow nose is a tapioca pearl!

The Hello Kitty bath bomb has a new fragrance (well kind of) it is a combination of two of Lush’s bestselling scent families, Snow Fairy and Milky Bath.

The bath bomb has the bubblegum sweetness of Snow Fairy and the musky-clean-smell of Milky Bath, it’s a very clean smelling, sweet and sugary blend that will leave you wanting more.

Other products in the Hello Kitty and Friends X Lush collaboration share the same fragrance but in this bath bomb format I feel as if Milky Bath is the more dominant of the two scent families within it.

The Hello Kitty bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients: illipe butter, kokum butter, Brazilian orange oil, patchouli oil, benzoin resinoid, vanilla absolute and a single tapioca pearl.

As soon as the Hello Kitty bath bomb touches the water there is an explosion of white foam. It doesn’t take very long for the red, bath-melt-bow to start to melt too; Slowly spreading tiny streaks of red across the now thinner, white foam decorating the water’s surface.

The Hello Kitty bath bomb didn’t create much bath art, but it did throw out a lot more colour than I had expected. The white and red combined, slowly turn the bath water a beautiful shade of barley pink.

With thanks to Hello Kitty’s bath-melt-bow, the water left behind is absolutely perfect for hydrating your skin, because of this I took the opportunity to shave my legs while having my soak, and I’ve never had a smoother shave.

By the end of the bath the scent had almost all but gone from both my skin and the bathroom, the softness and way it left my skin however lasted right through to the next day.

Overall, I loved this bath bomb and am looking forward to trying the other products in the Hello Kitty and Friends range, especially those that share the same scent as this bath bomb!

Coffee Morning Shower Jelly from Lush

The Coffee Morning Shower Jelly is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2025 Mother’s Day line.

The Coffee Morning shower jelly is a dazzling gold colour and has been made into the shape of an espresso cup; The cup has two googly eyes, a cartoon-smile and a healthy dollop of cream on its top.

Each of the Coffee Morning shower jellies are 100g, the perfect size to fit snuggly in your hand.

The Coffee Morning shower jelly contains some of the following ingredients: glycerine, date syrup, carrageenan extract, carob resinoid, benzoin resinoid and, West Timor sandalwood oil.

Coffee Morning shares its scent with the bestselling shower gel, Sticky Dates.

The best way to describe Coffee Mornings scent is mouth-wateringly delicious. Think hot and gooey sticky toffee pudding with a generous scoop of refreshing, vanilla ice cream.

Coffee Morning has a beautiful scent, and no matter what product format Lush releases the Sticky Dates scent family in, it flies off the shelves. However, I do wonder if the name Coffee Morning might mislead some customers – they could easily overlook it, not realising it carries the beloved Sticky Dates fragrance.

With Coffee Morning being a novelty shaped shower jelly, I wondered how long it would last as unfortunately I find quite often that the novelty shaped jellies aren’t always as sturdy and robust as the normal, pot-shaped-ones.

Luckily, the Coffee Morning shower jelly is still quite a sturdy shape, while it a little flimsier after three uses there hasn’t been a significant sign of wear and tear. I believe I’ve got a good few more uses out of it to go!

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.

With Coffee Morning being such a good size (fitting in my hand perfectly) I have happily used it whole and recommend you do the same.

Once you’ve used your shower jelly simply rinse it off like you would a bar of soap, then pop it back into the pot leaving it ready and waiting for you when you next want to use it.

The Coffee Morning shower jelly lathers up easily, creating a silky soft foam that glides over your skin effortlessly. As you lather away it leaves your skin cleansed, refreshed and lightly scented.

Its moreish and oh-so-yummy scent fills your bathroom, lingering in the air long after you’ve finished.

Once out of the shower, my skin feels soft, refreshed, and perfectly smooth. It’s delicious scent also remains on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day.

Overall, I absolutely love the Coffee Morning shower jelly and its charming design. I just hope people realise it carries the Sticky Dates scent (so that it gets best seller status, as it is what it deserves!)
