Lush Lust: It’s Raining Men and Happy Hippy shower gels


I’ve only tried three of the Lush shower gels, two of which I’ll be reviewing here. I reviewed Dirty in a review with a bunch of the Dirty products, and the shower jelly I tried has its own review. 

I love Lush shower gels. They last forever, have a great lather, smooth my skin, and smell divine. I’d usually go for soaps, but these are so much more convenient in a dorm, as I find that bar soap gets soggy in a container and is a bit fussy to use in the dorm showers (there's no place to put anything really apart from the ground).
It’s Raining Men is a fantastic product. It smells just like the soap Honey I Washed the Kids, Honey Bee bath bomb, Ma Bar bubble bar, and a couple of the massage bars (Mange Too and Soft Coeur I believe). They brought it out for Valentine’s Day a year ago, but they had to bring it into the permanent collection because it was so well-loved. It’s moisturizing, makes the skin soft and smooth (again, helps with my KP) and nice-smelling. You can also use it in your hair, but it lathers better with a scrubby towel on the skin than in the hair. I used it as my shampoo for a while because I ran out of my regular shampoo, and I found I had to use a ton to get a good lather in my hair. It didn’t hurt my hair though. I found it pretty moisturizing actually. It lasts forever, too. I used up the smallest bottle just at the very end of May, and I had been using it since February or something like that. I just use a nickel sized amount in my scrubby towel and the lather goes a long way. If I got the biggest bottle, I could see me using this for a whole year literally. ($9.95 for 3.3 oz, $17.95 for 8.4, and $$27.95 for 16.9 oz)
Happy Hippy
I got Happy Hippy as a sample, I loved this stuff as well. It's definitely on my "purchase the full size" list. Happy Hippy is very lovely on the skin, with a great lather and grapefruit scent. It’s not an obnoxious citrus or a bathroom cleaner citrus. Just a very nice zingy citrus that really wakes you up. This really helped my KP, but it did leave me feeling a bit dry when I used it in the winter. I think this is more of a summertime gel. ($9.95 for 3.3 oz, $17.95 for 8.4, and $$27.95 for 16.9 oz)

What's your favorite shower gel? Recommendations are always lovely.
