cottage cheese

ok so I wanted to do a new LUSH product review! So I went running on Saturday after I had decided that I was just going to walk. I ran a whole mile without stopping. I was really proud of myself. Anyways, I was so sweaty when I got home, so naturally I took a shower! And this time I decided to use a shower "jelly" that I haven't used in a long time. And "jelly" is just the right word for it because it kind of feels like jello! I was actually surprised. I really really loved the smell and feel of this product. The name of this LUSH shower "jelly" is snow showers. Here is what it looks like

But this doesn't show how it crumbles in the shower. That's my one and only complaint about this soap. It crumbles/falls apart really easily. But I have heard a few ways to cure this issue. One is to chill the soap in the fridge. I don't want to try this because I think it would be really unpleasant to use cold soap! And the second suggestion is to use a foam/sponge type thing. I don't know what those are called. I haven't tried this either. I like soap to skin contact. So I just use all my soaps directly. But if it really bothers you how badly this one crumbles at least you now know a few ways to help. So the scent of this soap is very citrusy it has orange oil in it, so that explains that one :) But there is also lime in it! Its so refreshing. The Lush catalog discribes this soap as a champagne with orange juice drink scent. Its so true. Aren't those things called Mimosas?! I think so. Anyways, I think I would love some champagne with orange juice! I heard its a "breakfast" drink. So how does this soap feel? Well I heard someone say that this soap doesn't lather. Lies! Ok so it doesn't lather when I first rub it all over. But then I let it sit for a minute and then I went back and rubbed more and it lathered! I've used this soap before and never discovered that until this past shower :) I was surprised! Plus it feels so silky! I can't get over the smell of this one. It was the perfect after a jog refreshing clean! I think you should try it... next Christmas. I just remembered one little important fact about this soap! It's a Christmas season soap! Dang it! I shouldn't have done a review on a soap that wasn't available at the moment! Sorry guys. I will do a review on a soap that is available soon!

Stay Tuned...

They definitely always said to use it with a loofah! (or, the scrubby round shower thing) But, they said to rip off a "chunk" of it and then lather it up in that. Snow showers sounds sooo nice smelling though! I love mimosas! And citrus is always refreshing. You should try their new shower gel, B Electro. It looks like green GAK! I love it! It has a grapefruit scent. Thanks for the review though, I want to try shower jelly now! :)

Oh Heaven I want to try SO MANY LUSH products. I swear if there was a store here in Antioch that I would apply for a job there! But I have a whole bag of products that I still need to use up. So I shouldn't buy more :P But I am so tempted to go to the store in Berkeley when I am grocery shopping tomorrow now... I have seen that new shower gel online I think. I thought it looked so cool. What things from LUSH do you have right now?
