Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly

Remember the violet-coloured Fox's candy in blackcurrant flavor? I haven't bought candy in ages but that is totally what I can think of whenever I smell Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly! I was actually a bit apprehensive on trying this at first but knowing that I am crazy of anything Lush, I gave in!

"If a bar of soap and a bottle of shower gel had a steamy affair, this would be the resulting jelly, baby." :D

Lush is fond of creating products that are on the quirky side and this is just one of them. So what exactly is a shower jelly? Much like its name suggests, it is a jello that you use in the shower to clean your hot body with! :) It is addicting to play with and poke on like what my little sister is always doing.

Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly Wobbly

Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly Instructions

You can use it directly as how one would normally use a soap. But this is so wobbly that I find it impossible to do that. You might just end up with the whole blob on the bathroom floor (eeek - just saying from experience!) ;) I learned that the best and practical way is by cutting chunks of it and then crushing them into your loofah. By doing this, I was able to lather it effectively and produce soft, fragrant bubbles.

I use two chunks of like a cm each for my whole body as I want my shower time to be very bubbly but you can cleanse even with just one.

The scent as I say smells akin to a blackcurrant candy, thanks to the cassis absolute in it. Other key ingredients included are cherry infusion which makes it fruity and luxurious; bergamot oil as it is cleansing and uplifting; cypress oil for its calming and toning properties and coconut infusion and seaweed extract helps make the skin feel soft and moisturized. There are glitters scattered throughout which will not cling to your skin, thankfully, but for me it gives that element of fun! Please do note that there are SLS and parabens in this product which might be disturbing to some. I am not that strict in that aspect so I don't mind.

Seeing that this is a rather unusual product, I guess not all will like this. Even my Mom is not a fan. Having the extra step of preparing and cutting chunks of the product beforehand might discourage those who just want a breezy, fast shower. However, I suggest you try it at least once, even just for the novelty of it! As for me, I will continue purchasing any shower jelly Lush will create. Right now, they only offer two scents - the other one being Whoosh shower jelly which has a refreshing lemongrass scent. I once had The Jilted Elf shower jelly which was part of their Christmas line two years ago.

Lush says to freeze it which makes it apt during summer months. What do you think of a chilly shower in this humid weather?
