Lush Santas Belly Review

I purchased a gift pack in the boxing day sales and a 100g tub of this was inside the pack.

In a clear plastic tub with a screw top lid sat a wobbly red jelly that smells really fruity. The first thing I did was open the lid turn it upside down and plopped it into the palm of my hand, wriggled it around and watched it wobble lol. It reminds me of a upside down jelly dessert. I'm glad it's not because I would of totally eaten it haha.

Now in all honesty I myself have used this product once, my kids on the other hand? Religiously. We don't use it as a shower product. Pop a teaspoon into a sieve hold it under the running water over the bath and presto! Red water + lots of bubbles = Happy kids.

The other thing that was good with the sieve is the stars that are throughout the jelly didn't fall into the water and sick to the kids. Or as my 3 year old likes to say ' stars bugging me'.

I recommend this to my friends to use as a bubble bath product and for them to add a bit of fun to the kids baths :)

During the boxing day sale season I grabbed myself a Santas belly gift pack. This came to me in a round tin that looks just like Santa. I'm new to using Shower jellies. I couldn't wait to give this a go.

This jelly comes in a secure clear tub with labelling that is simple and easy to read. I found this jelly to be a rich coloured red with cute little stars. To me this formula embodies the Christmas spirit. This scent reminds me of sweet crisp red apples . It's fresh and vibrant.

On one occasion I used a shower puff and instantly this jelly foams up into a fluffy white foam. When I tried a wash cloth I found it difficult to foam and jelly just flew everywhere in my shower.

I think that buying this in a gift pack was good value. I like to catch sales to save a couple of dollars. This jelly came with a tub of Red Fun which my children enjoyed. Out of one tub I have managed to get four uses out of it and theres still plenty more uses to get out of it. I would happily buy this again because I enjoy fruity scents.

Shower Jelly's are fun enough as they are, but having a Christmas one called Santa's Belly is even better. It is fun to shake and fun to use. Smells like heaven and looks so cool. It is the perfect gift to yourself or a loved one!

Shower jellys are such fun to use in the shower. You do have to be a bit careful as they are a bit slippery but you get the hang of them after a couple of showers.

Santas Belly is a glorious festive red with some glittery bits through it. It has an amazing festive fragrance with it as well, star anise, red wine and apple.

I use the shower jellys in one piece, I find them easier to hold. I dont use a shower puff like I do with shower gels, I just use the jelly on its own and it lathers nicely and feels so soft.

I always feel clean and refreshed when I have showered with a lush product and this one is no different.

Oh i love the name choice for this product.

I really enjoyed using this unique body gel. it felt like christmas. I was given this as a gift, so i was a little hesistant about how it's going to work to use this. But it was easy! and the best thing about this it lasted me a few showers, longer than i thought.

It smells lovely, like all of lush products. Unique and a great gift for a friend.

I really like the shower jelly's from Lush and grabbed this one at Christmas. Like a little semi cirlcle of red delight, the gorgeous colour is certainly attractive and the gold flecks added to the overall experience. The smell is fresh and crisp, not too sweet but it doesn't linger so won't interfere with any fragrance you wear. Lasted me a month.

It was the rich red colour that drew me to Lush's Santa's Belly.

Santa's Belly is a gorgeous red shower jelly with little stars in it which give it a bit of a magical touch.

This shower jelly is also really interesting because it acutally has red wine in it, which you can smell. I think it was a vegan red wine. It also has scents such as apple coming through. Making it smell very christmassy.

To use it is very wobbly, so be careful. I find it particularly good to use on drier patches of skin. I didn't find it that user friendly to use, but if didn't crack and break like some shower jellies I've tried so that was in its favour.

In terms of packaging it is in the typical lush container which can of course be recycled.

Santa's Belly would be in my top 3 favourite shower jellies.

I wasn't really sure how to go about using this product. With shower time in full swing; I thought I'd just open my cute little jar of Santa's Belly, dip my fingers in and lather up. But alas; my fingers hit the jelly-ness of Santas belly and I realised I had no idea how to use this product. I decided I must gouge out a chunk and rub it over myself... that did nothing but leave big welts in Santa's Belly. Getting a little angry at my lack of progress; I decided "Stuff this" and tipped the whole thing into my hand and used it like I would a bar of soap. SUCCESS!! I love how yummy it smells and I love the novelty of using it. If I had one complaint, it would be that it doesn't come with specific instructions on how to use it lol.

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.
