Pass my "scratch test"

I have never purchased the same shower gel twice. Every one I have ever used leaves a residue, so I don't feel clean after washing. After washing, I scratch my nails along my thigh. ALWAYS, there is a bunch of junk under my nails. So I switched to soap. No more residue under my nails (or on my body), but I missed the moisturizing benefits of shower gels. So I scooped up small bottles of Tramp, Sonic Death Monkey, and Flying Fox when I visited a Lush store. I love them all. Each has a distinct scent, and all leave me totally clean. While not exactly the most moisturizing, these do dry out my skin. I should also point out that the scents are not fake in the way that most brands' are. For example, I love coffee, but I hate coffee-smelling things. I surprised myself by loving the sweet, rich, true scent of Sonic Death Monkey. Ditto Flying Fox, which eschews the typical sickly sweet floral scent (the hallmark of most synthetic fragrances) in favor of a heady bouquet of jasmine. When I use FF, I'd swear there is a jasmine plant flowering outside my bathroom window. I have long poo-poo'd patchouli as smelling "dirty." Usually, it does. But the way it is used in Tramp is sexy and mysterious. — 3 years, 1 month ago

Depends on the gel...

Sadly, all of Lush shower gels are rated under one heading right now. I haven't tried and of the shower smoothies, but for the gels, not all of them are created equal. I find Lush shower gels aren't that great for lather junkies, but it isn't the lather that makes you clean, so if you don't mind washing up without tons of bubbles they'll still leave you clean and if you find the right formulation and scent, happy. My favorite of these gels is the Happy Hippy. It has an excellent grapefruit scent and leaves skin feeling fresh in the summer. They are a bit pricey for shower gel though, so I can't afford to only use Lush shower gels. — 3 years ago

Since Snow Fairy doesn't have its own entry, I'll write about it here. Pros: Amazing scent that stays, can be used as shampoo, a little goes a long way, colour is pretty, sparkles don't stick, suds up nice and cleans well, and Lush is a great company. Cons: A bit expensive, doesn't moisturize too well but doesn't dry out skin/hair either, and it is limited edition. :( The bottle contains a pink semiviscuous fluid and the bottom half of the liquid has this stuff that looks like snowflakes! Sparkles a intermingled among this "snow" part. This would make an excellent gift. — 3 years, 3 months ago
