Lush Haul

 This month has really been a rough month. It's just one thing after another. So I shall blog some of the stress away. Or at least try to. 

I tried to order more Lush shower gels last year but the order I made ended up getting canceled due to some strikes. Even though I still have quite a few of their gels, I figured I would order the rest of the ones I wanted to try. They are from the Retro line and I'm not sure how long they plan on keeping some of this stuff around.

So here's what I got:

Plum Rain- I hear this was named in connection with Prince- Purple Rain. I was most curious about this one. I saw so many people raving about it. And it's nice. But I don't know that I think it's worth the hype. It's very much a fruity (sour fruit) fresh scent. Certainly it's unique. I'll hold off judgement until I get through more of the bottle though.

 Sonic Death Monkey- What a name! The main scent notes are coffee-chocolate- orange. Definitely you get chocolate orange. But it doesn't stand out as a chocolate, more of a very background chocolate note which I prefer. There is something else that makes it slightly more sophisticated. I like it. Not sure I needed a big bottle. I wish the retro line came in smaller bottles for those of us that just want to try it.

The Comforter- I've used the Comforter Bath bomb and bubble bar in the past and I like the scent. It smells slightly different in gel form. I think I like it better in the bath. But it does smell nice. Maybe it's not as vanilla-y in this form.  I definitely did not need a big ol bottle of this one. But I think I will happily use it up! 

Passion- Last up Passion. I was expecting more a rose scent based on the description. It's more fruity. It smells similar to the Comforter in the bottle. I think this one is nice but forgettable. 

It will probably take me a while but I do plan on eventually reviewing them all. I have them on rotation and as soon as I have used them enough...review. 

Have you tried any of these? What's your favorite shower gel scent? Favorite brand?
