Twilight Shower Gel from Lush

Twilight Shower Gel

Out of the never ending collection of Lush scents, I would say that Twilight is a firm favourite throughout the whole of the Lush community. So much so that it appears in a variety of different Lush products released all through the year.

The most common product with its scent at the time of writing this review is the all-year-round and much loved Twilight bath bomb.

The Twilight shower gel is overflowing with some of the world’s most soothing, natural ingredients. Tonka, lavender and benzoin essential oils have each been carefully selected to create a calming and relaxing shower gel. It’s the perfect partner for a night time shower or soak.

The first time I came across the Twilight scent was actually in its bath bomb format. When I very first got into Lush I had been slowly working my way through just the bubble bars. After a month or two of visiting my local store, I decided that it was about time I explored some of the other products too. That day I picked up the Twilight bath bomb and ever since I have been a hardcore fan.

Lavender as I am sure you will all know, is said to lull you into a relaxed state of mind, which in turn aids restful sleep. Although I can’t give the Twilight shower gel all of the credit, ever since using it I have been able to drop off much easier, which is a huge success considering I had previously struggled to fall asleep full stop!

Whenever the Twilight shower gel is in the Lush Kitchen I try to get hold of at least one bottle. My boyfriend is (unfortunately for me) also a fan of the shower gel. It is a shower gel made to last, a little of it goes a very long way, the tiniest amount of product can easily wash your whole body, leaving your skin refreshed and hydrated.

My boyfriend however uses it by the gallon, I honestly cannot keep up with him and neither can the Lush Kitchen. He over indulges with nearly all of the Lush shower gels and shower creams but Twilight is one of his clear favourites as it never lasts long in our bathroom.

I get that his excess use of it is his luxury but it really gets my back up, it really isn’t necessary to use gallons and gallons of it as, as I said above a little really does go a long, long way. Plus it’s mine, go and get your own Joe!

Lush products may be a tad more expensive than the average drugstore product but taking into account that all Lush products have fresh, natural and cruelty free ingredients I think it’s worth splashing a little out on. That is unless you find yourself living with Joe, IF IT’S NOT NAILED DOWN HE WILL HAVE IT, get yourself a Lush safe decorated with barbed wire 😉

Older versions of the Twilight shower gel were quite runny. The more recently made ones from the last 3 or 4 times it has been in the Lush Kitchen have however been a thicker formula. This small change has made this already great shower gel so much better. It lathers up much easier and its scent stays with you for several hours after using it.

My skin feels soft and hydrated after using Twilight shower gel. If you haven’t tried Twilight shower gel yet I strongly advise that you do. It features in the Lush Kitchen a lot so if you missed out on the batch sold earlier this week don’t panic, it’ll be back soon!

Twilight Bath Bomb from Lush

Before I had even had the chance to sniff this beautiful, lavender infused bath bomb, I had an overwhelming feeling that I’d really, really like it.

Lush Cosmetics as a company were very new to me back when I first decided to give the Twilight bath bomb a go, I had previously only tinkered with Lush bubble bars as I couldn’t quite get my head around buying a product that could only be used once.

My love for all things pink is no secret, neither is my obsession with stars. Twilight’s baby-pink colour alongside its intricate star & moon design was quite literally made for me.

Twilight and I are a match made in Lush heaven. I wholeheartedly believe that Twilight was destined to be my first Lush bath bomb. It was the product that got me hooked to Lush and for that it will always mean something special to me.

What would I be doing with my life if the Twilight bath bomb hadn’t have found me? What did I do with my life before Lush was in it?! Lush really is a way of life and I will never look back.

As for the scent of this beautifully presented bath bomb, incredible, amazing and beautiful are just a few of the words that come straight to mind. Twilight is rich with lavender and tonka-absolute therefore making it the perfect night time bath bomb.

Its cocktail of various essential oils are perfect at helping you wind down after a long, hard day. The scent itself stays with you throughout the evening and even lasts on your skin for most of the next day. Not only do you benefit from its beautifully subtle scent hours and hours after using it, you also get soft, smooth and gloriously hydrated skin.

Twilight gives off 2 different colours while fizzing away in the bath. Initially it creates mounds and mounds of soft, pink-foam. As the pink foam gradually fizzes away it is then that you begin to see its baby blue interior.

I am always so mesmerised by the reaction that I forget I am in a bath and that I need to lay back and relax. Watching a bath bomb slowly fizzing around the bath is extremely therapeutic as well as fun.

Some people prefer to watch a bath bomb work its magic before getting into the tub, others however prefer to get straight in with it, there’s no right or wrong way about it. Do whatever you feel comfortable with.

The bath bomb spins as it slowly reacts with the water, when the blue flecks begin to appear, the bath bomb then stops spinning and charges around the bath like a little power boat.

Once the bath bomb has fully dissolved I feel instantly relaxed. My skin is always well moisturised and I get out of the bath feeling pleasantly calm and more importantly, ready for bed.

My first bathing experience with the Twilight bath bomb was great, I have now used Twilight more times than I can keep up with and it always makes for a fantastically relaxing bath. Its scent is what dreams are made of.

For a very long time I said that the Twilight bath bomb was my favourite. Although a few years on I no longer call it my favourite as I am now also obsessed with various other bath bombs. I still treasure it and am reminded of my love for it whenever I catch a whiff of the enchantingly, beautiful Twilight scent.
