Santa's Belly Gift Set

Santa's Belly

I had been planning to buy this gift set, but ended up forgetting, so when I saw in the Lush Boxing Day sale, I had to buy one. The tin is super cute, but I haven't decided what to use it for yet. This gift set would be great as a gift to a friend as it is not too expensive but the products in there can be used by anyone, even if you don't have a both only a shower. unlike bath bombs. The products in this gift set also smell amazing, the jelly smells like a freshly bitten apple, and the Fun bar smell delightfully orangey.

• Santa's Belly Shower Jelly
• Red Fun

Haul #5 - Boxing Day Sale

This year was the first year that I attempted to buy products in the Lush Boxing Day sale. I bought my products online which was a hellish experience, first no one seemed to know exactly when the sale products were going live. I was awake with my computer on at 7:45 am, with both Twitter and the Lush website open. After a lot of waiting and page refreshing I finally managed to place my order.

• 2 x Golden Wonder Bath Bomb
• 1 x Five Gold Rings Bubble Bar
• 1 x Magic Wand Reusable Bubble Bar
• 1 x Santa's Belly Gift Set
• 100g of Snowcake Soap
• 2 x Dashing Santa Bath Bomb

Whoosh Shower Jelly

Whoosh

 

'If you’re a little wobbly with overtiredness, Whoosh will give you the oomph you need. Its zingy fragrance and slinky feel will blast away fatigue, especially if you chill this jelly in the fridge or freezer beforehand. We’ve mixed seaweed, fresh citrus juices, rosemary and geranium oils into this pot. Scoop some of the gel out and use like a soap to cleanse and lift away dead skin cells, leaving you brighter and fresher.'

I am currently using this as a whole jelly as a soap, but there are other ways to use shower jellies. You can cut it into cubes and mush it in a sponge to use in the shower, you can run a lump under the taps when filling the bath to use as a bubble bar, or you could use it as a whole thing like a bar of soap.

'Whoosh' smells great and wakes you up, and lathers up great. However the jelly does start to disintegrate if you leave it wet between uses. Overall  I love this product and will definitely repurchase it when I run out.

Pot O' Gold Shower Jelly

Pot O' Gold

'At the end of every rainbow lies sweet, decadently-scented jelly. Orange peel decoction and fresh pineapple juice are blended with shimmer to add some shine to your showering.'

 

Pot O' Gold lathered adequately, it didn't lather exceptionally well, but it did froth. This product also contains gold lustre. When you waft this product under your nose it smells a bit like burnt cinder toffee (and nothing like the orange and pineapple it claims to contain), but when you inhale the smell directly from the pot it is overwhelmingly strong, it is also very strong when you lather it up in a sponge. If you love this smell, that isn't a bad thing, but if like me you are not overly fond, the strong scent isn't ideal.  

 

 

UPDATE: After trying this product a few more times, I have come to the conclusion that I absolutely HATE this product, it smells awful. I am glad that this was a limited edition product for Easter 2015, as 'Pot O' Gold' is a waste of shelf space.

 

 

 

Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly



Sweetie Pie



 

'A shower jelly with cherries, bergamot, blackcurrant and sparkles for wobbly fun. We make an infusion with cherries and coconut, and then add carrageenan seaweed extract and boil it up to make a jelly. Cassis absolute gives a blackcurrant fragrance alongside a light refreshing note from the bergamot and cypress oil.'

 

I love shower jellies they are such fun and have a great concept. There are different ways in which people use shower jellies. I use mine by cutting a jelly up into small cubes and then putting them back in the tub. Every time I have a shower I take one cube and massage it into a wet sponge. It creates a good lather.

 

Sweetie Pie smells amazing, both sweet and fruity notes, the same scent as The Comforter. Aside from being quite messy to use, with it being so slippery, Sweetie Pie is a great product.
