Krang Shower Jelly from Lush

The Krang Shower Jelly is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s TMNT x LUSH collaboration.

The collaboration has included a TMNT themed Lush Kitchen Subscription Box and also a collection of online and in store products too.

The Krang shower jelly is from the online and in store collection. I was lucky enough to be sent a tin with him in, thank you again, Lush!

Krang is a supervillain in the world of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and what a scary looking supervillain he is. He’s a brain, with a face and has weird wormy bits which I think could be arms? I am just as terrified of him now as I was as a kid. Too terrified to even do a little research on him… Sorry!

I don’t think I was even this freaked out by a product when I had to review the Tarantula shower jelly a few years ago.

Yes, the Krang shower jelly is very scary looking but he smells delicious, so it didn’t take much convincing for me to share a shower with him!

The Krang shower jelly is the exact same product as the Conga shower jelly. It is just Krang shaped. It’s even the same light pink colour. Each of the Krang shower jellies are 150g each and strangely come in a tin.

Every other shower jelly I have ever got from Lush have been in the plastic pots so having it in a tin is a bit of a novelty, the tin has amazing art work on it too so I’ll definitely be keeping it.

The Krang shower jelly contains glycerine, Irish moss infusion, carrageenan extract, bergamot oil, davana oil, almond essential oil and vanilla absolute. Its scent reminds me of raspberries, it’s fruity and sweet with a sour twist.

With Krang being a novelty shaped shower jelly, I wondered how long it would last as unfortunately I find more often than not, that the novelty shaped jellies aren’t always as sturdy and robust as the normal, pot-shaped-ones.

As predicted, the Krang shower jelly did get a little flimsy after just a few uses. However, I’d rather use it and lose it than not use it at all. So far, I’ve used it 3 times and although it is showing a small amount of wear and tear, there’s plenty more of it to go around yet.

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.

If you do keep it whole, the Krang shower jelly is big enough to fit in your hand. Once you’ve used it simply rinse it off and then pop it back into the pot and put the lid back on.

The Krang shower jelly lathers up quickly so you’re not stuck lathering it in your hands for ages, I find this a real positive for shower jellies as they can be a little slippery.

I can see it lasting me maybe 6 or 7 more showers, potentially more. Although, I’m not sure for how much longer it will stay whole.

After using the Krang shower jelly my skin feels soft, clean, and completely refreshed. I also found the scent remained on my skin for a good few hours after using it although, it’s faint.

Once I got over my fear of ‘the brain with a face’ I had the shower of a lifetime with Krang. Overall, it is a very good product that fits into the TMNT world perfectly!

Four Brothers Bath Bomb from Lush

Lush’s latest collaboration with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is finally out online and in stores and I couldn’t be any more excited!

The limited edition TMNT x Lush collaboration included a TMNT themed Lush Kitchen Subscription Box and also a collection of online and in store products too.

Today I’ll be reviewing the Four Brothers Bath Bomb which happens to be the only TMNT item that was in both the Lush Kitchen Subscription Box and in stores and online to purchase separately.

I was lucky enough to receive a Four Brothers bath bomb in a surprise box sent from Lush. The excitement of receiving a PR package from Lush never gets old, I am so very grateful every time, thank you, Lush!

The Four Brothers bath bomb comes in four different colours and are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles heads. Much like their characters, the bath bomb is all green apart from their eye masks.

The turtles head with the red mask is the character Raphael, blue is Leonardo, purple is Donatello and the orange (the one I have pictured in this review) is Michelangelo.

Each of the bath bombs are approximately 440g each, which I believe may be the biggest bath bomb Lush have ever released?!!

The best thing about each of these bath bombs is that a different soap (made into the shape of the Ninja Turtles favourite things) is hidden inside of them!

The Four Brothers bath bomb contains fresh oregano infusion, rapeseed oil, coconut oil, glycerine, lemongrass oil, bergamot oil and organic virgin coconut oil.

It shares its scent with the, Avobath bath bomb. Its scent is super refreshing, citrus-rich and full of zing. Just a quick whiff of it is enough to give you a little boost of energy.

It’s quite a powerful fragrance and one I often crave when I’m feeling a bit sluggish and low on energy.

I always find Lush products that are made into characters very hard to use. With the Four Brothers bath bomb being the face of a character loved by so many people around the world, it felt very strange to use and never see again… BUT, I just kept thinking about the hidden soap inside that I would never see if I didn’t use it. 😏

As the Four Brothers bath bomb comes in to contact with your bath water there is a huge hiss as green foam starts to ooze out of it. After a minute, the foam starts to thin out but is still a bright and bold green colour.

The lemongrass and bergamot in the Four Brothers bath bomb really come through once the bath bomb is in the hot water, it’s a really uplifting fragrance so perfect to use first thing in the morning or for a boost of energy in the afternoon or before a night out.

Once the Four Brothers bath bomb is taken over by the water it starts to spin, the bath bombs mask colour then starts to spill out of the bath bomb too. For me, with the ‘Mikey’ Four Brothers bath bomb, I got orange and green bath art swirls.

With the orange mask part of the bath bomb being so small in comparison to the rest of it being all green, I wasn’t expecting much bath art so was pleasantly surprised to see so much orange.

After just under ten minutes the bath bomb has fully dissolved, the water left behind is so incredibly green. It’s also silky soft thanks to the coconut oil in it.

The water left my skin feeling soft and well hydrated long after getting out of the bath too because of the glycerine.

Overall, I loved the Four Brothers bath bomb, I was so busy watching the orange and green swirls coming out of it that I completely forgot about the soap inside of it.

My soap was the orange pizza slice. (see photo above). Talking about the soap as a separate product, I don’t think I’ve ever had such a strongly fragranced soap from Lush before.

I have left the soap on the side near my bath and every time I go past it, I am hit with the gorgeous Avobath scent. I’ve used it several times too and there’s still no sign of it getting any smaller or worn down.

The Four Brothers bath bomb has left me so excited to review the rest of the TMNT x Lush line!
