My top 5 Lush shower gels

Hey y'all, Lucy here!

Ok so, to continue on our theme of Lush obsession, I am going to list my top 5 Lush shower gels of all time. I have been using Lush shower gels (and Lush shower gels ONLY - HELLO NO ANIMAL TESTING!) for about 2 years now, so I've dabbled in a fair few! I'm a bit of a Lush Kitchen noob, but I've tried and tested quite a few from there too. So, without further ado...


5. So White shower gel

Granny smith apple in a bottle, enough said.

Ok so this one comes out at Christmas, and it does just literally smell like a fresh green apple (it contains apple infusion, so that makes sense!) It's refreshing, moisturising, and the scent stays on your skin for a long time after you've used it. There is a bath bomb that has the same scent which comes out at Christmas (So White bath bomb), so pairing these is a winner. I got my bottle from the Lush Kitchen, who cook up exclusive batches of products, with new ones each week. The Japanese team came over the week that I bought this one, so I've got a funky bottle with Japanese writing on. I love this because it totally makes it feel more unique and exclusive, a bit like when I used to buy Japanese pokemon cards from the market when I was a kid ;) (don't pretend that you never also did this!)


4. Yuzu and Cocoa shower cream

Basically if you ate a Terry's chocolate orange and a Bounty bar at the same time - that taste, but a shower gel. Do not eat the shower gel.

This shower gel is just incredible. So very creamy (hence being called a cream rather than a gel, which has a thinner consistency), with an almost jaffa-cake like scent, thanks to the tonka, cocoa and fresh yuzu juice (I didn't know this before, but the yuzu fruit is a yellow citrus fruit that originates from East Asia). I always reach for this one when I need a really comforting bath. It has a very uplifting vibe about it, and the vibrant yellow colour is just really jolly. This shower gel was originally an Oxford Street exclusive, but clearly they very quickly realised how popular it was, and subsequently rolled it out into every Lush shop. Again, there's a matching bath product - the yuzu and coca bubbleroom, which looks like a macaroon :)


3. Snowcake shower gel

Marzipan and a weirdly slightly plastic smelling vibe that just reminds me of Christmas.

I feel like this shower gel is underrated. It really does smell like marzipan, and has a nuttiness to it due to the almond infusion. And a slight plasticness that I can't put my finger on but somehow love. To me, it smells like the feeling of lying on the sofa with a blanket, the fire and a massive box of chocolates at Christmas - cosy and yummy. This gel shares its scent with the Snowcake soap and Snow Angel bath melt, which both come out in stores at Christmas. Sadly the Snowcake shower gel has been confined to the Kitchen, but I really wouldn't be surprised if it made its way into stores this Christmas.

2. Comforter shower cream

You know when you got to a restaurant and order a raspberry cheesecake mainly because you want to eat the raspberry bit? It's that.

Ok so if anyone's tried the Comforter bubble bar before (which you probably have if you're a Lush fan as I believe it's their best selling product), it smells like that. I was SO excited when this shower cream came out at Oxford Street last year, because I am a huge fan of berry smells. It didn't disappoint. With it's blend of cassis absolute, bergamot infusion and creamy almond oil, it serves up blackberry realness.

1. Twilight shower gel

Lavender mixed with.....vanilla and a boiled blackcurrant sweet? It's complicated one.

Ok so this one is really hard to describe, because it's so different to anything else. It has a strong calming lavender fragrance, but hold up, I don't mean the old lady style lavender - this scent is like it's funky offspring. To me it smells like sweets mixed with lavender, and it has a really relaxing yet mystical, uplifting vibe about it. I think it will always be my favourite :) I use it when I'm sad and when I'm tired, and it just makes me feel a bit better. This one is exclusive to the Kitchen, though I really wouldn't be surprised if it ended up in the shops because it definitely a favourite of a lot of Lush fans :) I've got two bottles of the delicious matching perfume that the Kitchen brought out recently too. Lush - if you ever decide to make more candles, crack out a Twilight one and I will buy them all, because the Twilight scent is beautiful, complicated and weird - just like my favourite people :)


That's all for now! These are my current faves, Don't they look pretty with the Lush knot wrap underneath :)

Honorable mentions: Grass, Calacas, Sonic Death Monkey, Dirty Springwash!
