Lush seem to create products which go far beyond most peoples imagination. Their creative department is I think pretty wonderful. The items they put together and really one of a kind as no other company has really thought about. Lush have a large catalogue of products and when new products are created and need to be brought out Lush tend to reduce their shelf space by either discontinuing permanently or putting items into their online Retro collection. In the Retro collection items tend to be Lush's oldest and best selling products and they tend to bump up the prices slightly. Downside is that they are only available online so if you want to sniff a product first before .  Read the complete review

I have a bit of an obsession with Lush and my bathroom shelf is stocked with many bottles of Lush shower gel, cleansers, shampoo and conditioner. Sonic Death Monkey is one of their shower gels which has been discontinued, but revived through their Retro line. The Lush Retro products are only available to purchase via mail order or online at www.lush.co.uk. Sonic Death Monkey was always one of the more expensive products, and the price has increased since it joined the Retro range. There are two different sized bottles to choose from now, with a 100ml bottle costing £5.25 and a 500ml bottle costing £18.45. Product description: "Our rocking coffee, ...  Read the complete review

I am shocked that all the previous reviewers of this shower gel have rated the product so highly! I really would struggle to find something good to say about this gel. Perhaps the positive reviews are because normally you would only choose to buy the Lush products that you like the smell and look of in the shop, thereby the sample of potential reviewers is a bit biased! I myself was given a small tester pot of this to try on my last visit to the Lush store near me. Always keen to try a new product (especially something that came free!), I took it home and gave it a try at the first opportunity. My problems with this gel started as soon as I opened ...  Read the complete review

Well you probably can tell that i am a Lush Shop fan from the amount of Lush products i have reviewed on Ciao. I just can't walk past the shop with out buying something. The product i am reviewing today is The Sonic Death Monkey Shower gel. The name really drew me to this product and when i smelt the tester i just had to buy. Smell Aroma: This product really gives off a strong smell, some people may like and some may not, depending on what they like. Imagine Chocolate Orange, Coffee and Lime smell and that's the smell, i totally love it. Not ideal for those on a diet as you may want to eat the gel instead. When using you might also be good ...  Read the complete review

Sonic Death Monkey is one of my all time favourite Lush shower gels ) - though Tramp runs it close, I can never decide between the two ... but that's another review! Chocolate, coffee and lime have got to be three of the best smells ever, but I wasn't sure how they would work all together in a shower gel. My first try was a smaller bottle, but before long I was hooked! It looks like a thin, dark gravy (yes, I know, doesn't sound too appealing yet, does it?!) but it lathers up really well and I just LOVE the scent. It is definitely a love it or hate it kind of smell though, so I would go and smell it in-store or buy a small bottle first off. The one ...  Read the complete review
