Lush Kitchen: Grass Shower Gel Review

This product was originally sold as a regular item in all Lush stores up until Summer of 2015 when it was discontinued and came out in the Lush Kitchen recently in the Ready, Set, Summer menu so I decided that I needed a bottle. I loved this product so much when it was a regular product but unfortunately was unable to stock up on it when it was announced to be discontinued as my local store had ran out before I managed to grab some so I am very happy I have been able to get some in the Kitchen.

 This product is exactly what you'd expect and does exactly what it says on the tin; it is Grass scented but with a sweet side to it in my mind. It smells like a freshly mown lawn you'd expect to smell on a walk about in the summer and this is due to the fresh wheatgrass juice that contains high amounts of chlorophyll. This makes it perfect to use in the summer as the vitamins and chlorophyll that is found in wheatgrass is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory which could help with sun damage and general damage the skin has taken on.

The sweet scent comes from the bergamot oil that can be found in the product making it a little sweeter but also a pick me up perfect to be used any time of day due to bergamot being an uplifting, happy scent. This scent is a perfect summery scent as it does remind me of summer walks, I personally think it could be used other times of the year as a reminder of the warmer and perhaps happier times of the year.

Lush don't have many straight forward scents, they are usually more complex that have a few different layers to the scent. however, Grass is different in the sense that it is a straightforward scent and you do know what you're going to get. I think this makes it a must have from Lush.

The consistency of this batch is rather watery with a green colour to it (from the chlorophyll in the wheatgrass). I wasn't bothered by the consistency as the product seemed to lather rather well for a thin product and it did not lose it's scent even after washing it off the skin.

I would recommend this product to people who like natural 'green' scents such as the Grass bubble bar and Green bubbleroon and if you like something different from Lush's usual complex scent range.
