I have a rule when it comes to shower products - one out, one in.
You'd be forgiven for thinking that is the Sunday household shower schedule but
basically I will not buy anything to lather up with until I have finished the shower gel I am using!
I hate waste and I hate having 101 bottles in the bathroom, I bet you didn't think I knew the meaning of
the word resistant haha!
I do enjoy the occasional trip to Lush but I do find it a little offending to the senses...too many scents
at once makes my head explode and a word to the wise, NEVER EVER set foot inside during a Lush
party! Crazy 10 year old girls hyped up on sugar and Justin Beiber...I'm still recovering.
Anyway during my last visit I decided it was time to step away from the Shower Jellies
and try out a shower gel, the only Lush shower gel I have tested up until now is Snow Fairy
which is pink fluffy heaven in a bottle...I can not wait for the Christmas stock to arrive for my fix!
In-between being scared for my life and sanity during said trip I settled on a fruity little number called
Happy Hippy - I like Hippies and I like being happy so it seemed like the perfect choice.
Not to mildly scented with a light yet fresh dash of Grapefruit making it the perfect choice for morning showers when I need a wake up call!
Sometimes grapefruit can be a little sweet and sickly but this scent has been coupled with a light lemon
note to soften the grapefruit kick.
As with most Lush shower gels you can use this as a body or hair cleanser,
I don't recommend it as a shampoo as it can be a little harsh and drying particularly if you have dyed hair.
However as a body wash it is great, it lathers up wonderfully, leaves you squeaky clean
and does not dry out the skin while leaving you delicately wrapped in a fruity scent perfect for rainy days
like today when summer seems like a distant memory!
Are you a Happy Hippy (sorry I couldn't resist)?
Lush Happy Hippy starts at £3.15/100g - link
Haha, 'I like hippies and i like being happy' xx
ReplyDeleteHaha it's true, I'm thinking about joining a commune haha! Kidding...sort of ;)
DeleteI love Happy Hippy! I've been using it on and off for years, but agree - the Lush shower gels aren't great for hair. I've used some of their solid shampoos and Marilyn conditioner though and liked both okay - the solids are great for travel!
ReplyDeleteWhich solid shampoo do you recommend? I have been looking at them for quite some time and can't make up my mind.
DeleteThis is one of my favourite Lush shower gels! And I have a huge bottle of Snow Fairy stored for when Christmas comes around ;) x
ReplyDeleteHaha I love how prepared you are!
Deletelooks like honey!

I agree!
DeleteI'm using Happy Hippy at the moment and like you, I love the scent with the hint of lemon to calm down the grapefruit. My only complaint is that it's quite a thick gel and I sometimes have trouble squeezing it on to my sponge. Other than that, I'm a very happy hippy!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!

Yes! Especially when you are closer to the end of the bottle. I have a pump that I use to help with this :) before binning any of your old liquid soaps see if the pump fits, it helps so much!
DeleteI used to use this when i was 14 and had horrifically greasy hair, it was a miracle during my teenage years :)

I must pass this tip on to my sister :)
DeleteI love Happy Hippy, it's such an uplifting scent. I really need to get myself some Lush goodies, but the staff are just too overbearing for me, they are just so in your face and I have to psych myself up to go in haha! x
ReplyDeleteHaha yes they really are, I avoid lush if i'm in a bad mood hahaha!
DeleteStacking up on shower products is one of my biggest problems...but in my defense, I often switch them up, depending on my mood, so in the end I will use them up, it just takes me muuuuch longer to do so.
ReplyDeleteSometime variety is lovely :) we have such a small bathroom that I have to restrict myself otherwise i'd do what you do :)
DeleteWhenever I'm near a Lush store I can smell it from miles off! This shower gel sounds lovely. I've not bought anything from Lush, it always seems a bit overwhelming, but I might check this out. Fab review! x x
