Lush have recently added four new ‘Magik’ products to their CBD range, today I will be reviewing the brand new Magik Shower Gel.
As someone who often struggles to switch off and relax, anything that could help me get to that state of mind quicker is worth a try.
I was lucky enough to be gifted all four of the new CBD products from Lush, I am so incredibly grateful for Lush’s generosity yet again; Every time I get a package from them it’s like all my Christmases have come at once!
Before we delve deeper into my review of the Magik shower gel I want to talk about the CBD element of all the new products…
CBD is short for cannabidiol; Cannabidiol is the non-psychoactive and non-addictive compound found in hemp plants, in simple terms it means using this Lush product won’t get you high.
There has been a lot of research conducted around the use of CBD oil and it is said to have a long list of health-benefits.
It is said to help with stress management as well as aiding those suffering with anxiety and/or sleep problems, it has also been proven to help people like me, who suffer from medical conditions that cause wide-spread chronic pain.
The very reason I first got into Lush was because I was looking for non-medicinal alternatives to prescription painkillers, so it is only natural for me to jump at the chance to try each of the new CBD products.
The Magik shower gel comes in 120g, 280g and 580g bottles, for the CBD ratio on each product you’ll get the most accurate information on Lush’s website.
All of my reviews on this blog are my own personal experience with Lush products. I’ve had a few messages from people who haven’t tried the Magik products yet but have some experience with CBD say things like, ‘this won’t work for…’
I’m always open to listen to other people’s thoughts and opinions but I feel my job in this review is to tell you how I found THIS product.
As you can see from the photos I have included in this review, the Magik shower gel has a super funky product label with white font and a green and pink swirly background.
The shower gel itself is a slightly pearlescent dark shade of green. I might actually take a bottle of it into my next nail appointment as I’d love nails the exact same colour!
As well as the CBD hemp seed oil, the Magik shower gel also contains fine sea salt, chamomile blue oil, jasmine absolute, violet leaf absolute and ylang ylang absolute.
Its shares its scent with the Ultra Violet bubble bar, Wild Violet Co-Mingle body scrub and the other three products from the same new ‘Magik’ line.
As soon as you take the shower gels lid off, you’re hit with the gentle but sweet smell of violets, it’s a really fresh and natural fragrance.
There are herbal and grassy elements to it too. This blend of particular ingredients is incredibly grounding and surprisingly warming in a Summertime way; A weird description I know but it’s what I smell and how I feel using it.
Consistency wise, the Magik shower gel is just right, it’s very easy to get out of the bottle but not at all runny.
You can see from the photo above how well formed the blob is.Looks wise, the photo above does the shower gel no justice at all. It’s a dark shade of green and pearlescent in the same way as the Passion shower gel was from the Valentine’s Day line earlier this year.
The Magik shower gel lathers up easily and creates a green like foam; A very small amount of it goes a long way which makes its higher price a lot more justifiable.
During use the hot water and steam of the shower make this subtle violet fragrance a whole lot stronger.
For me in particular, I have always found this products Lush-scent-family quite calming so it wouldn’t be fair to assume that my feeling more relaxed was all down to the CBD content in it. BUT I did leave the shower feeling very relaxed and refreshed, CBD or not.
After use, my skin is perfectly hydrated and feels clean and silky-soft too.
I’m amazed at how pretty the shower gel looks just in the bottle; it really sparkles when the light hits it. Who knew a shower gel could be so mesmerising?
Overall, I love the Magik shower gel; it has one of Lush’s most natural to actual violet scents and I’m so glad the other Magik products share the same scent, I’m very much looking forward to reviewing the rest of this impressive line for you!
