I love showers, especially when I use my very fast one. I never have baths. I was intrigued when I found out about the Lush shower jelly from other Bloggers, definitely different from shower gel. Due to curiosity, I bought "Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly".
I have mixed feelings about this product because I personally think it has a mixture of advantages and disadvantages. Here is my opinion -
Avantages
- Like most Lush products it smells gorgeous (in the pot). It smells like actual sweets, it reminds me of a medicine I used to have as a child, possibly Calpol. I just love sniffing it.
- It's a fun product. I seriously had a funny shower trying to use this shower. It is like jelly, it wobbled out of my hand and it was amusing trying to keep hold of it.
- It isn't too pricey. My little but generously sized pot cost £3.10.
Disadvantages
- It's hard to use. It does wobble and as your in the shower you do get wet. It pretty hard to cling onto a slippery piece of jelly AND scrub it all over your body properly.
- The only part of my body that smelt nice after my shower were my hands which had spent most of the shower clinging onto the jelly. I expected to smell a bit "sweety" due to the way the product smells - I didn't at all. I was really disappointed.
- It's time consuming. I really wouldn't recommend using it if you're in a rush.
My camera didn't like this product - I'm sorry this picture is over exposed. |
Have any of you used this product? What was your opinion? xx
P.S I love Lush. I'm sorry if I sound negative, I know my "disadvantages" were. I just want to give you all my honest opinion.
This was a really good honest review! :D I used this shower jelly a few years ago and I remember I had the same problem that when I was using it I found I was wasting a lot of it from it slipping out of my hands in the shower :(
ReplyDeleteThe lush shower gels leave a really nice smell of your skin this is one of my fave's :D x

Yeah it is really annoying!! I need to try their actual shower gels :) x
DeleteI tried to use my shower jelly last night, after giving up on it about 6 months ago & it is rediculous how difficult it is to use- think i'm going to have to give up on it again, there has to be an easier way to use it!! poppy xx
ReplyDeleteIt is ridiculous, I've given up too. I prefer shower gel! xx
DeleteI had the same problem as you but I found that if you break of a bit then put it on a loofah (those puffy shower/bath/cleaning thingys) then its so much easier to use and lathered really wel for me xx
ReplyDeleteOkay thank-you, I shall give it a try :) xx
DeleteAhah I'm not the only one who had problems trying to have a shower with this XD
ReplyDeleteA loser like me
