Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly

On my last trip to London, I picked up two of Lush's shower jellies to try out. Sweetie Pie is a vegan concoction with "lashings of blackcurrant and bergamot essential oils in a sour cherry and coconut jelly".

The jelly texture is much firmer than Snow Showers and doesn't break up easily into mushy little bits like the latter. The blue sparkles are from the iridescent glitter, but when using this, I didn't notice any glitter bits on my skin.

I used a wooden scoop (which came with a L'Occitane Rose des Neiges sugar scrub) to scoop out a small chunk.

The jelly lathers up very easily. Although it doesn't disintegrate like Snow Showers, I still dropped it on the floor three times but luckily, it was quite easy to pick up.

When I'm done soaping up, I just rinse it lightly and then plop it back in the pot. The 100g pot can probably last a few weeks with daily use. The blackcurrant and cherry scent lingered on my skin for quite awhile after the shower, but I think I prefer the more refreshing citrus scent of Whoosh shower jelly (which I also purchased). Although it contains sodium laureth sulfate, it didn't dry out my skin.

Overall, I think Lush shower jellies are a fun treat for the bath (if you don't mind dealing with the slipperiness), and not terribly expensive at just £2.85 for 100g.
