Joy of Jelly Shower Jelly


This product is A BLAST!  It is fascinating and satisfying.  The most mesmerizing LUSH product that I have tried to date. It smells like Sex Bomb bath bomb which is one of my absolute favorite bath bombs!  I believe that is the jasmine talking there.  It also has ylang, mush, lily and rose petals.  It looks like Jello and purple whipped cream....something evil.  I LOVE it!

It is a little hard to use.  Heaven forbid you drop a chunk of this goo onto the shower ground.  However, once you get the proper cupping action needed to smash it into your skin and rub at the same time, you are golden.  It is very moisturizing and so so smelly-good. I simple cannot wait to try the other shower jellies.

My favorite way to try this is when it has been in the fridge.  It adds a nice refreshing zing to a hot shower.  I have tried it as a shampoo, but found it to make my oily scalp, well.....oily.  Oh well, it smelled dang good.  I'm planning on trying this in a shower pouf instead of just on bare skin soon.  I just love the way the slimy goop feels!  

Please please please, do yourself a fun favor, check it out on LUSH's site and order some up!

T Tree Toner Tab


This is like the Green Tea perfume my mom bought me when I was 13.  I love this tab!  The scent was fresh and it make my sunburnt nose feel all better!  Warning....playing tennis in Phoenix, AZ at high noon warrants a double application of SPF!  This was a fresh tab of goodness and I highly reccomend it.  With all of the other toner tabs, it's not very showy or interesting.  Simply a nice detox for the skin.

Vitamin C Toner Tab



Toner tab of the stars.  This is a pampering toner tab.  My skin felt calm and loved by the end of the vapor bath.  It also had a nice, soft scent that I didn't feel to shy about breathing in.  It didn't make my skin sticky or dull when I used it afterward in a spray bottle.  It was a nice little tab!

Butterball Bath Bomb


I'm a dry piece of toast and I need some butter.  Enter.....Butterball!  This bath bomb is interesting.  When placed in the water, it fizzes out slowly and disperses tiny pieces of yellow "butter" which are little cocoa butter pieces.  I smashed a few of the pieces into my skin and they were very oily like butter and kept my skin super moisturized.  The scent outside and inside of the bath is subtle and almost non-existent.  However, I was so taken with the moisturizing level of this bomb that it didn't matter.  It kept my skin soft for a long time and wasn't too oily.  I highly recommend this bomb!

Sandstone Soap



Hello yummy!  I absolutely LOVE the scent of this soap.  It reminds me a lot of the Dorothy bubble bar.  However, the ingredients don't match up, so I'm not sure why.  The scent smells far better in the shower and on your skin afterward.  The bar on it's own isn't too drool worthy.  It is incredibly exfoliating.....almost too much.  The sand was a tad abrasive and hurt a little.  I wound up cupping it in my hands and switching off between bare skin and palm application.  It did leave my skin soft and glowing. 

I highly recommend this soap!  It is a not-too-fruity and not-too-sweet yummy bar.

Limited Edition Perfume Kit


Well, this was a HUGE disappointment and a HUGE pain for me.  It seemed like a great idea....get a sample of most of the Gorilla perfumes for only $20 USD!!!! 

Well....the first sample I decided to try was Vanillary.  I thought it was a nice wedding scent.  I was headed out to a wedding on a beautiful day.  Vanilla sounded good.



Well, it was too strong.  It was like a pound of vanilla following me around all day/night.  I didn't like it :(  It took a day or two to wear off. 

After some time away from the perfume, I decided to give another scent a try.  I read the names of the perfumes I had left to Brian (my fiance), and he picked my death.

Meet.......KARMA THE SCENT OF DOOM:


We had the day off from work and I wanted to smell nice for our lunchtime date at Olive Garden. I put a couple dabs of this on my wrists.  Instantly I was revolted by the disgusting smell of HELL.  My wrists were huge red bumps!  I tried scrubbing my wrists until they were raw and dabbed the area with alcohol.  Every Cosmopolitan magazine article on how to take off perfume smells melted into my head.  I tried EVERYTHING.  The f***er wouldn't wear off!  I decided to try and ignore it.  As the day wore on and the baked ziti fell into my belly, I was getting more and more ill.  As we walked up the pathway to our apartment, I felt it coming......VOMIT.  I ran inside and puked my guts out.  Yes, I then spent the next 10 hours of my day off in bed, vomiting on and off.

What did I do to deserve this, KARMA? UGH!!!

So......to make matters worse, Karma broke inside of my perfume kit and leaked all over everything.  Brian had to double bag it and it was promptly returned. 

As you can guess, I won't be reviewing any of the rest of LUSH perfumes.  Even writing this, I am getting sick thinking about it.  If there are any perfumes that are given to me, I will review them but I won't be spending any of my own money on these.

If you like Karma, this set is for you.....if not, STAY AWAY.
