Snowman shower jelly

Lush is a company that always tries to provide cosmetics that are a little different from those that are available in other high street stores, and this is an example of a product which I am yet to see anywhere else.


Shower jellies are an alternative to shower gel available from Lush. Available in pots, they are solid slabs of jelly, available in different types of scents. They are used for showering, or as an alternative to bubble bars.

Snowman shower jelly is a shower jelly released in the Christmas collection of products. It was a new item for 2015, and one which has been widely appreciated by tons of Lush fans.

Snowman shower jelly is in the shape of a (you guessed it) snowman, and is a traditional, if not slightly boring white colour, with no lustre or added extras.

It has quite a summery scent which I wouldn't usually associate with Christmas.. It smells sweet and tangy, and reminds me of tropical fruit juice, or jam. Although it's not normally what I go for scent-wise, I have to admit I love it, and it's one of my favourite citrus scents, as it's not sour or overwhelming.

Personally, I find shower jellies a little difficult to lather up on their own compared to shower gels, and Snowman shower jelly is no exception. It is quite a rubbery shower jelly, and is probably the most difficult one I have ever tried to get a lather from. To make it easier, I usually use a shower puff, or instead I use my shower jelly in my bath, using the pressure of the running water to create plenty of bubbles.

In the bath it performs well to create bubbles, although it doesn't soften the water, so you may wish to use a bath bomb such as butterball, or a bath melt, to make your bath water moisturising as well as bubbly. However, it didn't make my skin dry like some bubble bath can do.

Personally, I am more a fan of shower gel and soap than shower jelly, and the scent of Snowman shower jelly was available in the limited edition easter soap last year, Carrot.  I hope they bring this back this year, or maybe even a shower gel with the scent, as I would love to try this fragrance in other formats.

I am glad I got a couple of tubs of Snowman shower jelly, but it isn't something I'd neccesarily pick up again, simply due to the fact I am not the biggest fan of shower jelly in general. However, I did love the scent, and it didn't dry my skin out, so for those who like the shower jelly texture, I would recommend it.
