The Milk Bucket Shower Jelly is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s Minecraft X Lush collaboration, I was lucky enough to be sent a pot of it by Lush earlier this week.
Before this line came out, I had heard of the Minecraft computer game but had never played it.
Since, I have finally tried the game to see what all the fuss was about. I spent about an hour getting myself out of a big hole that I had fallen down and not much else…
Some people are good at computer games, I am not one of them. I’m going to stick to just using bath products for now!
In the Minecraft game a milk bucket is one of the many food items that you can make, it’s useful as a food source and can also be used to cure status effects.
It has been a while since I have reviewed a shower jelly that isn’t in a novelty, character shape. The Milk Bucket shower jelly is the standard Lush shower jelly shape; The exact same shape as its pot.
Each of the Milk Bucket shower jellies are 100g each just big enough to fit in your hand.
Just like an actual bucket of milk, the Milk Bucket shower jelly is an opaque, milk-white colour.
The Milk Bucket shower jelly contains glycerine, almond milk, carrageenan extract, coconut milk powder, Brazilian orange oil and patchouli oil.
Milk Bucket shares its scent with the main-line Lush products, Milky Bath bubble bar, Toby’s Magic Cow bath bomb and the recent limited edition release, the Saltbomb bath bomb.
The Milk Buckets scent is best described as a gentle and musky fragrance that is incredibly calming.
I ordinarily find the shower jellies that aren’t novelty shaped to be sturdier and more robust during use; They always seem to last longer, breaking up a lot slower than the character shaped shower jellies such as the Krang and Snow Fairy shower jelly.
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.
Once you’ve used it simply rinse it off and then pop it back into the pot and put the lid back on.
The Milk Bucket shower jelly lathers up quickly, I find this a real positive for shower jellies as they can be a little slippery, after all they are made of jelly! I seemed to however be wrong about this shower jellies sturdiness…
It started to break up a lot quicker than I had anticipated (after just one use it was a lot flimsier) I’m having a guess that this is because of its higher than average milk content. This doesn’t mean the shower jelly doesn’t however work. It just shows wear and tear almost immediately, running out a little quicker than I’d have hoped.
Even with this in mind, I can still see it lasting me another 4 possibly 5 showers.
After using the Milk Bucket shower jelly my skin feels soft, clean, and hydrated. The scent although light remains on my skin for a good few hours after using it too.
Overall, it is a good shower jelly and I’m so happy to experience the Milky Bath Lush-scent-family in this format, it makes a change from bath bomb after bath bomb.
