More stuff from the Lush Kitchen that I want — Lush, open a US Kitchen already! At left, Calacas Shower Gel ("A hallowed shower with reviving lime and uplifting neroli lathers will rouse your senses back into the mortal realm. Just one encounter will leave your spine tingling...and skin smelling like sweet jelly beans"). Top right, Brightside Solid Perfume ("A little bit of sunshine arrives on the breeze, in the form of bergamot, tangerine and mandarin. All you need is a little dab on wrists, behind ears and knees and you’re set to make the world smile with you"), plus, you can have Brightside in a Body Lotion, double plus, they have Flying Fox Solid Perfume at the moment, along with Grass and Sex Bomb. Bottom right, Uluru Shower Gel ("Take time to escape into the embrace of these Aussie sunset-painted, lemon lathers. Warming sandalwood blends with zesty Brazilian orange and lemon myrtle oils...Smother yourself in sunshine and let it transport you to Uluru at dusk.") Argh.

Early last year I posted about 4 shower gels, and 3 of the gels currently on rotation in my shower were reviewed at that time: Weleda Sea Buckthorn, Lush Happy Hippy, EO Grapefruit & Mint.
