Rose Jam Shower Gel from Lush

rose-jam-shower-gel

Rose Jam shower gel is a golden oldie. It returns year in, year out and its scent can be found in a vast number of Lush’s best selling products.

The Rose Jam scent was the first scent I came across in Lush that I realised also featured in a number of their other products…

The Rose Jam shower gels scent also features in the Jason and the Argan Oil shampoo bar, Pearl massage bar and the Rose Jam bubbleroon. Those 3 products are currently available all year through so if you want to try out the scent before you invest in a shower gel, go give them a sniff. I recommend all 3 and speak very highly of them all.
Rose Jam Shower Gel EXTRA.pngRose Jam shower gel is a deep red. It reminds me of raspberry jam although its shade of red is a little lighter. I actually grew to love the scent through a Jason and the Argan Oil shampoo bar. The name ‘Rose Jam’ initially put me off as I ignorantly associated rose scents with older people. I turned my nose up at the bubbleroon without even giving it a chance. The first time that Rose Jam shower gel became available to me I however ordered a 100g bottle as I really liked the Jason and the Argan Oil shampoo bar.

Once it was in my hands I instantly regretted ordering the smallest size, 100g of this beautiful shower gel is not enough and it will never be enough. Always buy more rather than less.

Although Rose Jam is a floral rose scent, it also has other depths making it more desirable to me. Alongside the rose and argan oil there is a slight hint of musky-sweet vanilla mixed with lemon giving it a sweet and zingy edge.rosejammixIt is quite a thick gel, (the perfect consistency in my eyes) and it lathers up well, the smallest amount of it goes a long way and I often use it as a shampoo as well as, as a shower gel.

My boyfriend loves it just as much as me which is a pain in the bum as it is limited edition.

If you want to try it get some now as it won’t be around after Christmas.

The scent stays with you all day after using it. If I had the Rose Jam liquid perfume I’d spray it in my hair too, spreading the Rose Jam scent that little bit more as I think it’s beautiful. It compliments absolutely everyone no matter the occasion.

Abombinaball Bath Bomb from Lush

The Abombinaball Bath Bomb may look really scary but he’s actually a joy to share a bath with… Honest! Until last year (2015) I hadn’t had a chance to try the Abombinaball bath bomb, Lushie’s all over the world raved about it so naturally when it became available in the Lush Kitchen I jumped at the chance to order a few.

As much as I love the Intergalactic bath bomb and its minty freshness, I can’t help but crave something minty that’s just a little different as it gets a bit boring after a while, both the Intergalactic and Abombinaball bath bomb have peppermint oil in. I love peppermint oil based products as they help me manage my nausea levels. I’m on a lot of medication so suffer with it quite frequently.

As good as Intergalactic is, sometimes a change is as good as a holiday so I was super excited when my Abombinaball bath bombs arrived.

Although Abombinaball and Intergalactic both contain mostly peppermint oil, they are far from similar. The Abombinaball’s scent isn’t as sharp as the Intergalactic. I find the Abombinaball bath bomb sweeter and a much warmer scent in comparison.

Abombinaball also contains sweet orange oil and vanilla absolute, when I first learnt this I was a bit confused as I thought the ingredients would clash terribly.

After I however sniffed an Abombinaball I was no longer confused, the ingredients all worked together perfectly…

Its scent reminds me of my Grandad. He always had Trebor mints near him, using an Abombinaball bath bomb really takes me back to being a kid again. Back then I would sit next to him holding a Trebor mint he’d given me, licking it like a cat instead of just putting it in my mouth like a normal person.

He was one of my favourite people on the planet. I love how a scent can just take you back in time. The Abombinaball bath bomb will therefore always have a special place in my heart.

If you thought the Intergalactic bath bomb was shimmery then you clearly haven’t tried an Abombinaball bath bomb. It’s magical!

Overall I am thoroughly impressed with the Abombinaball bath bomb, it’s fresh, sweet and uplifting making it perfect for a boost. Peppermint always seems to wake me up so I’d put this bath bomb down as a daytime one.

I have however used it at night and still slept okay.

Whenever the Abombinaball bath bomb is available I snap them up,  it really is a brilliant Lush product that I can’t recommend enough. 😈

So White Shower Gel from Lush

So White Shower Gel.png

The So White scent is by far one of my favourite fragrances from Lush’s winter line. There aren’t many products that have its scent but the ones that do are all more than perfect in my eyes.

There is the So White bath bomb, Santa’s Belly shower jelly, the shower gel pictured above, a liquid perfume (that I really, really wish I had) and a newly designed version of the So White bath bomb that was released this winter (2016).

The So White scent reminds me of fresh, crisp apples. I love how refreshing it is, it always lifts me from a bad mood. It fills my bathroom with the most beautiful and fairytale-like scent, every time I use it I always find myself thinking of  the scene in Snow White where the Evil Queen gives Snow a cursed apple…
So White SG extra blob.pngThe So White Shower Gel which I will be reviewing today is probably one of my favourite products from the So White scent family.

The shower gel’s consistency is quite runny, I always recommend giving it a good shake before using it. Once it has been shaken it works beautifully. A little of the shower gel goes a very long way, I love it as a shower gel, it lathers up really quickly and brightens, cleanses and hydrates my skin into tip-top condition.

I actually even use it as shampoo too. They say not to use shower gels on your hair very often as obviously it’s not shampoo, I however sometimes use So White shower gel in my hair because I love the scent so much. It is actually very good on my fine hair. It is such a light formula and the scent stays in my hair right up until I wash it again.

Overall I love the So White shower gel, I think maybe it could be improved ever so slightly if they maybe turned it into a shower cream, much like they did this year (2016) with the Prince Charming and Yummy Mummy shower creams.

There’s just something about shower creams that feel that little bit more luxurious than a shower gel.

By all means I love it as a shower gel, my inner Lushie however very much desires to try the So White scent in other formats as I know they’d all be products to die for!
