I have a problem and namely that problem is Lush. I saw this on their site and for $14.90 I thought it was a bargain! I also thought that it was a shower gel, so I couldn't understand why it was so cheap. It wasn't until it arrived that I realized it was a jelly (not that I'm complaining), and I cracked into it that day.
The jelly is a gorgeous deep red, and it's really the perfect red for Christmas. Littered throughout is star confetti/glitter and it just feels festive. It comes in a plastic pottle and has a screw top lid, perfect for protecting from the water in the shower.
When I first read the description I assumed it would smell like spicy apples and mulled wine with a hint of spice, and I hate to say it, but the scent is disappointing. It is apples, but they smell like fake apples and cleaning products. I got used to it, and all I do smell now is apples, but not the kind I like. I also can't smell any wine or spices.
I pinch off a bit of jelly with my already gloved hands, and I then break that in half and put it underneath my gloves, because this jelly is a slippery devil and will go down the drain and leave you looking at it like it was a waffle you just dropped on the ground. Without wetting the gloves I use the water that's already on my body to get a really good lather going, and the apple smell takes over. It's quite fresh smelling, and now that I'm used to it it's enjoyable, but again, not really something I go for often.
I don't think I would purchase this again, but I am glad that I went out of my smell comfort zone and tried this. It is a nice shower jelly though, but I prefer much sweeter scents.
This was gifted to me by a lovely fellow BR member. I had tried a shower jelly before but not this scent. The colour immediately drew me to it so as soon as I got it I jumped in the shower to try this dude out.
All of Lush's jellies come in a clear screw top container (that can be recycled). Because this is a jelly consistency it can be a little funny to get out but what I like to do is tip the container on m my hand and hold the entire jelly and use it like that on my skin. You can also break pieces off if you like.
Although this is red it doesn't stain your skin. There are small silver stars all through this which is cute and super festive. The stars don't stick to your skin or irritate you.
As much as I like the look and feel of this, I wasn't super keen on the scent. The apple was nice but this didn't make me fall in love or look forward to the next time I could use it. If it smelled different then it would be a solid 5 stars from me. As it is, the scent isn't my favourite even though I love this kind of product.
