Sparkly Pumpkin Shower Slime from Lush

With a name like ‘shower slime’, the product is to-say-the-least quite a conversation starter. I have heard mixed reviews on the concept of shower slime product format BUT, I have yet to hear a single negative review from anyone who has actually given a shower slime a go.

Today I will be reviewing the Sparkly Pumpkin Shower Slime. The Sparkly Pumpkin shower slime first made an appearance in Lush’s 2022 Halloween line and is set to make a return for Halloween 2023. It shares its scent with another much-loved Halloween product the Sparkly Pumpkin bubble bar.

The only annoying aspect of shower slimes (from a practical point of view) is that they are potted. With me being disabled most of the time it’s just easier to reach for a bottled shower gel as they are easier to get out when you and your hands all wet!

The Sparkly Pumpkin shower slime contains grapefruit oil, Juniper berry oil, lime oil, fresh grapefruit juice, fresh orange juice and plenty of corn starch. This unique blend of essential oils makes the Sparkly Pumpkins scent a woody and gentle citrus blend, I find myself feeling really uplifted after using it as well as my skin feeling soft, clean, and refreshed.

If you favour Lush products with a more subtle scent, then Sparkly Pumpkin shower slime would be a great choice for you.

Shower slimes work in the same way as a shower gel, they are very slime-like BUT great at leaving your skin clean and refreshed. A small amount of the Sparkly Pumpkin shower slime goes a very long way making it great value for money. Shower slimes have a lot of corn starch in them which is what gives them that slightly thicker, tacky, milky-dough-like-consistency.

With just a little bit of water the Sparkly Pumpkin shower slime easily lathers up into something that better resembles as a shower gel. The shower slime is not at all sticky and as stated above just feels like a tacky, slightly thicker shower gel.

Out of all of the shower slimes Lush have released before this, none of them have been quite as inviting as the bright orange Sparkly Pumpkin shower slime. You’ll find yourself using more than is necessary just because of its gorgeous bright colour.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Sparkly Pumpkin shower slime, I’d go as far as to say it is my favourite shower slime that Lush have released so far. I am glad to see that it is making a return for this year’s Halloween line (2023).
