Lush Big Calm Shower Jelly

** The Product ** Lush The Big Calm is a shower jelly, which for those of you unfamiliar with Lush (not many, I'm sure), has the same purpose as a shower gel, but it comes in a tub and looks exactly like edible jelly. What Lush say about The Big Calm: Big Calm is made with an infusion of coconuts and pineapples with natural seaweed gel to make it (and your skin and hair) nice and soft. It smells like a fresh, tropical drink and looks like a blue ocean with the occasional smooth wave, rhythmically lapping the shore to ease away your troubles as you lounge on a warm beach. That's the idea. Take it with you the short distance to the shower for instant ...  Read the complete review

If you frequently read my reviews, then you'll know I'm a huge Lush junkie and when I remembered that I had huge chunks of this shower jelly in my freezer I decided I should probably review it before it gets discontinued in stores (sadly it's already discontinued online)! I first bought this when it first came out, and have been stocking up on it once a month ever since. For those of you who don't know what a shower jelly is, it is shower gel in a jelly form. Think of a plate of jelly that you can lather up and then wash with - that's exactly what this is, except you can't eat these ones (although you do want to!). Unfortunately, I can't provide you ...  Read the complete review

Even though I have been a Lush user for what seems like a lifetime, I have never really used shower jellies. There is no particular reason why I have never used them, I think it's one of those products which looks like a waste of time, money and effort! However as I happened to have a 10% off voucher I decided to treat myself to items that I would never normally use!! I decided to go for a few jellies, to see if I could ever like them or even get used to them enough to want to buy them again. Unfortunately for Lush there isn't a great big choice as there are with soaps which is a definate shame. Big Calm is a blue and white swirled Shower Jelly with ...  Read the complete review

My eight year old son and I were walking down the road last weekend when he gave me that look. You know the one where they'll either ask where babies come from or will tell you that they have broken the DVD player! Well this time I got 'Mum do you think I should get the Lynx effect' Trying desperately to keep a straight face he explained that as he was growing up Matey bubble bath just didn't cut it any more! He now needed 'man' shower gel and deodorant! Apparently there is a certain girl at school he has his eye on! I thought maybe Lynx was pushing it so we ventured into Lush to see if anything took his fancy. I thought he might shrug it off as too girly too but the ...  Read the complete review

For those of you who don't know Lush shower jellies are literally what they say...soap jelly for the shower! You can buy these from any Lush stores and even on their online store. This item cost £2.15 per 100g which comes in a cardboard box or a plastic tube depending on the purchase. This particular jelly is a translucent blue colour with a marbled effect of a solid white that reminds me of the ocean. The name of this product gives away what this jelly is meant to do. Being the 'big calm' it is designed to make your feel relaxed. Inside is an infusion of coconut, pineapple and natural fresh seaweed. It does have a strong smell but not in a sickly way. To me ...  Read the complete review
