Bananaaa Shower Cream from Lush

The Bananaaa Shower Cream is one of four limited edition products that Lush have created in a collaboration with the recently released movie, Despicable Me 4.

I love the Despicable Me world and am very much looking forward to seeing the new film; But until I can, I’ll be using the products from the Lush X Despicable Me 4 line to get me through the wait.

I know you’re only here for a review on the shower cream itself, but I can’t not mention the Bananaaa shower creams absolutely epic packaging.

It’s a clear bottle, the shower cream inside is minion yellow and its label is the face of a minion. It’s so cute and clever!


Consistency wise the Bananaaa shower cream is a little runny, but it’s also very creamy. Hence it being a shower cream instead of a shower gel.

I know it’s an odd description, how can it be runny and creamy? It just is… I can’t recall a past Lush shower product like it.

Taking the blob photo below was a little difficult to do as the shower cream seems to have a mind of its own, how very minion of it!

I never have pouring cream on my deserts, but the consistency is very similar to that.

The Bananaaa shower cream contains plenty of skin hydrating glycerine, oat milk, coconut cream infusion, tonka absolute and vanilla absolute.

Fresh from the bottle the shower cream doesn’t quite smell of fresh banana, but it does resemble the foam banana sweets I used to love when I was little.

Some are comparing its scent to the Nana shower gel, but we’ll touch upon that more later…

Each of the Lush X Despicable Me 4 products are meant to share a fragrance, but I believe this is one of those scents that can’t quite be replicated across different formats. Each are a little different.

The Bananaaa shower cream lathers up easily and because it’s not very thick, a small amount of it goes a very long way.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent of the Bananaaa shower cream really takes hold, engulfing you and your bathroom. It’s super creamy and lathers up well, it feels soft on your skin, it is almost like a body milk.

With it being so like a body milk I found the Bananaaa shower cream incredibly moisturising. The added glycerine really helps lock the moisture into your skin.

24 hours later my skin still feels incredible and still has the gentle foam-banana-sweet scent.

How the scent settles on your skin is what reminds me of the Nana shower gel. It’s not the same BUT elements of it are very similar.

Overall, I LOVE the Bananaaa shower cream, it’s been a while since Lush have released a shower cream and I’ve missed them. There’s just something about how a shower cream leaves your skin feeling that is a little bit more luxury than the average shower gel.

Minions Bath Bomb from Lush

The Minions Bath Bomb is a brand-new product from a small but mighty Lush line created alongside the release of the Despicable Me 4 movie.

I love the Despicable Me world, especially all things minion so couldn’t wait to get my hands on the Lush X Despicable Me 4 line.

If you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing any of the Despicable Me films, you’re probably wondering what a minion is… Minions are small, yellow, pill-shaped creatures that live to serve the main character in the Despicable Me films, Gru the supervillain.

The Minions bath bomb is, as all minions are, a bright yellow with blue overalls on. Some minions have two eyes, some just one. The one eyed minion is what the Minions bath bomb is based on.

If you’ve been a Lush customer for a while you’ll find its single candy eye familiar as it’s a very similar design to the Monsters’ Ball bath bomb.


Each Minions bath bomb is approximately 190g and fits snuggly in my hand.

I love how clever the design is, even though the bath bomb is the standard round shape of a bath bomb (instead of the pill-shaped minion shape) you can still instantly recognise it as a Despicable Me minion.

The Minions bath bomb contains tonka and vanilla absolute, the scent is meant to emulate banana milkshake.

When I am holding the bath bomb in my hand, I can just about make out the banana-like-scent although it’s not very strong.

It’s a very dry and powdery fragrance, it reminds me of the banana powder I used to have in the kitchen cupboard when I was little, a spoonful of that in a glass of milk was one of my favourite drinks growing up.

Minions’ scent is very gentle, making it a perfect bath bomb for customers that don’t like super strong Lush scents.

Lush have been pushing so many sweet foody scents on customers this Summer; The Minions bath bomb is a great subtle alternative to those strong and sweet foody scents.

As soon as the Minions bath bomb touches your bath water you are greeted with an explosion of blue and yellow foam.

It doesn’t take long for the bath bomb to start spinning, charging around the bath water like a little minion coloured speed boat.

After just a few minutes the minions candy eye falls off, sinking to the bottom of the bath where it begins to slowly melt.

There wasn’t as much bath art as I expected from the Minions bath bomb but the blue and yellow colours spilling out of it created almost illuminous, bright green water. Colour wise, it reminded me of the Fizzbanger bath bomb.

After ten minutes, the bath bomb has fully dissolved leaving you with silky soft bright green water.

I found myself soaking in the bath a little longer than I ordinarily would as it was so gentle. Sadly, the banana element of the bath bombs scent doesn’t get much stronger during use, but you can just about detect it although it is very subtle.

Once out of the bath my skin felt smooth and hydrated, scent wise, all that I could really smell was a small amount of vanilla.

Again, because of this I can see it being a popular bath bomb with customers that prefer the tamer, less in your face Lush fragrances.

Overall, I am obsessed with the Minions bath bomb. It has a very well thought out design and because of this, is probably one of my favourite collaboration-bath-bombs that Lush have ever made!
