Lush is getting ready for Valentine's Day, and among other items there's a new shower gel: I Can Resist Everything But Temptation. The long description ("Whether you love to share showers or go it alone, you'll want to get wild with this irresistible body wash. It starts with the perfect throuple: an infusion of cinnamon, red rose petals and ginseng, ingredients that are known for their aphrodisiac effects, and then kicks it into high gear with cinnamon leaf oil for an extra-spicy good time. So go ahead, lather up, enjoy the moment, and just try to resist this one") is tempting but ruined for me by the short description ("A sweet, sharp, apple-scented candle"). Maybe it's your lemming, maybe not.
The daily lemming
New stuff from Lush UK that I hope gets to the US soon: Sweet Wild Orange Hand Balm ("Sublimely orange scented, refresh and cool with this hard working hand cream. Suitable for everyone, the glycerine and aloe formula will moisturise and repair the skin"; £12 for 100g) and Posh Chocolate Body Wash ("This deliciously self-centred chocolate body wash is packed with aloe vera and glycerine to soften and hydrate delicate skin"; £8 for 100g or £15 for 225g). Both products come in tubs. Also new-ish for the holiday season, Jolly Shower Gel ("Imagine taking all the smells of Christmas—the citrus, the spice and everything nice—and turning it into a shower gel. A Jolly thought, isn't it?") and Jilted Elf Body Spray ("Keep Jilted Elf on a shelf or somewhere close by when you need a quick spritz of its energizing grapefruit, cinnamon and ginger aroma").
Lazy weekend poll ~ what’s in your shower, edition 6
July is drawing to a close, so it must be time for our annual shower census….do tell us about the scented products in your bath or shower! How many scented shower gels and/or bar soaps are in your shower right now? And do tell us the names / products. If you have any great scented products in other categories (hair care?) tell us about those too.
Or, as always, just talk about something else…
