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.
The look of this surely had the inner child in me wanting this wobbly jelly. Yes I know I'm suppose to be an adult but sometimes it's products like this that you just need because they are different (and fun to play with)
This comes in a clear plastic pot with a red sticker on the lid with santa's belly written in the trademark Lush writing we all recognise, it also has the same style sticker on the tub with the ingredient list. You can even rinse this clear tub out and take it back to lush when you have 5 you get s free fresh face mask.... SCORE.
I unscrew the lid and straight away love the striking deep red coloured jelly before my eyes. Scent wise this has me slightly ahhh confused? I love a good hot toddy and this has that same scent as the steam that comes off a freshly poured hot toddy think cinnamon sticks and spices, with a slightly Apple scent too. Throughout the jelly is tiny small stars, particularly on the bottom where they have settled.
This red jelly goes a long way you only need to pinch a small amount off and it is enough to foam up and wash yourself, it's so slippery though I dropped it numerous times. This makes my skin feel so soft once I'm dried and I feel clean. The scent doesn't linger on my skin for very long afterwards but I'm not sure I would want it to hang around. It's a nice jelly but unsure if I would repurchase.
