LUSH – It’s Raining Men Limited Edition Shower Gel

Posted by Lipglossiping On January - 20 - 2011

Yum. Oh.

I’m a long-standing fan of Lush’s Honey I Washed the Kids soap. It’s got no whizz-bang exciting things going for it but it’s comforting. Like an old-favourite jumper washed many times over, I’ve been repurchasing it once or twice a year since my early twenties.

Which is why I was excited to see the scent launched into a new Limited Edition shower gel that goes by the name of: It’s Raining Men. Alongside the other limited edition launches for Valentine’s Day, It’s Raining Men will only be around for a short while… so I suggest you go sniff it out tout de suite!

It foams REALLY well… and to be quite blunt, when a shower gel (that doesn’t claim to contain magical properties) costs nearly £8 for 250ml, that’s an important thing to know about it.  It means that I can see this bottle lasting me for a good long time.  Judging by my usage of the sample I was sent, I’d estimate that it’ll still be going in 3 months time.  You really only need a drop on a bath lily to work up a huge lather.

As for the scent?  To me it’s a little sweeter than my HIWTK soap… just a touch.

It’s Raining Men is a saccharine feast for the shower that bubbles up beautifully and leaves my skin with a delicate honey-ed scent.  I like it and I’m purchasing a backup at the weekend in preparation for it leaving the shelves for good.

Lush – It’s Raining Men limited edition Shower Gel is available online or instore at LUSH

    I had a sniff of this in Lush the other day and I hate to admit I really didn’t like the smell. I’ve never been a fan of honey scented products so that’s most probably well. It’s a good thing, now I won’t buy it I can focus on using up my Snow Fairy!

    Ooh i’ve been wanting to get to a Lush to try this since it came out. I love HIWTK so i’ll probably love this too. Also want to try the Love Birds soap, the description sounds yummyy.

    I love the name and the scent! They should make this permanent. I had Snow Fairy and it was all I could do to use it up. I don’t like that one at all… or my Rock Star soap. I always use Honey I Washed The Kids because it smells so much like a baby soap that’s also practically edible. There isn’t that old honey smell you get with most scents.

    I’m off to grab a few of these this weekend, I love the HIWK soap (got one on the go atm actually!) but with my eczema soaps aren’t wonderful on my skin so I limit my use of it…shower gels on the other hand don’t seem to set me off! Huzzah!

    I like the smell of Honey I Washed The Kids, but my favourite smell has to be Porridge, closely followed by Sexy Peel.
