Advantages: a jelly (not liquid) shower gel that lathers up nicely and smells great

Disadvantages: none

I got some of this Lush the big calm shower jelly and I must say, it's my absolute favourite out of all the shower jellies as I just adore coconut. (I LOVE anything that smells of sweets and desserts).

One of the main reasons why I went looking for a shower jelly is because I wanted to have something convenient and something that's not a not liquid to take on holiday with me. I just can't be bothered with the whole you can only take a certain weight in liquid with you so I thought I'd just avoid the whole thing through buying jellies and solid bath products.

This jelly is really cute, it's a blue ocean effect that looks like waves. It's a very pretty colour and smells gorgeous. It smells mainly of coconut and pineapple, which reminds me of a pina colada. This stuff makes me feel like I'm on holiday even when I'm just using it at home. I find this stuff so fun to use because it's like the dessert jelly, it just feels and looks the same and smells so yummy, if I didn't know any better I'd probably want to eat this LOL.

All you do is just break off a little piece and I like to use mine inside my shower gloves or inside my sponge so that it doesn't slip out (as it is very slippery when wet) and fall down the drain. I find that a little goes a long way and the scent lasts for ages too. It leaves my skin feeling clean and so soft and smooth, I really love this stuff. It lathers up so nicely, smells so sweet and leaves my skin feeling so soft and nourished.

I think this is very good value for money as it's only £2.15 for a good amount and it lasts me for well over 2 months if I use it every day. (That's more than I get from my liquid shower soaps).

I highly recommend these for people who like fruity and coconutty scents and these are ideal for holiday as it won't weigh much but will leave you with many washes from just a tiny amount. The fact that it's not a liquid will also help it not to spill or make a mess in your luggage.

Summary: great value for money and excellent for traveling
