During the sales after Christmas, I picked up some Ponche Shower Gel from Lush. This is another Lush product which is only available at Christmas and was part of the 2012 range. This offering is said to be inspired by a traditional Mexican punch, making it bright, boozy, fruity and uplifting. This looked like a pretty different kind of shower gel from others I have had before which is why I bought it.

I bought the 100ml bottle which, as it was after Christmas, was 50% off. Although this isn't on sale any more, the prices for this product were:
100ml - £4.25
250ml - £8.50
500ml - £14.95

Ponche Shower Gel comes in the typical bottle that you would expect from a Lush product. The bottle is small and made from clear plastic. The lid screws on and off as well as having a flip top lid and is made from black plastic. The bottle has on it a black label which gives the name of the product in large lettering along with a smaller description below. The back of the bottle gives ingredient information along with the cute 'who made me' sticker that every Lush product has.

The colour of the bright orange shower gel can clearly be seen inside the bottle. Two of the main ingredients of this shower gel is orange juice and tequila. I thought the ingredients were quite strange for a shower gel which is why I wanted to try it so much. However, once opening the bottle, the smell of tequila hits you immediately. At this point, I really failed to smell any of the other ingredients and thought the tequila was too overpowering. I was hoping this would change once the hot water hit the product.

Once in the shower and on a shower puff, mixed in with the hot water from the shower the scent didn't get any better. In fact, all that I ended up getting was the smell of warm tequila which was extremely sickly and not something I liked at all. However, the shower gel did feel lovely and soft on my skin and lathered up extremely well after only putting on one small dollop of product on the shower puff.

I wish I had liked the scent of this shower gel more but because I didn't, I wouldn't buy it again.
