LUSH Rose Jam Shower Gel review + photos

I usually don't make a habit of using up a product before snapping a photo, but I really couldn't resist Rose Jam!
         I have a 'gem of a jam' to share with you today on Cute and Mundane! Every holiday season, you can find me dabbling with LUSH's limited edition items, both on my own and courtesy of the fine folks at LUSH. Shower gels are among my favorite standalone products, as they're a practical way to perfume my everyday routine. This year, my must-must-must-have item from LUSH Holiday 2013 is LUSH Rose Jam shower gel!

          LUSH Rose Jam shower gel was inspired by an actual traditional rose jam recipe shared by LUSH's Turkish rose supplier. The fragrance combines Sicilian lemon oil and Turkish rose absolute to create a sweet, gummy (or should I say jammy?) combination. Rose lovers will enjoy the generous full-bodied dose of Rosa damascena infused within. Lemon is the perfect addition to add freshness to the otherwise stately flower. Vanilla pod infusion and goji berry juice add a 'very berry' sweetness to the mix.


         As someone who has tried quite a number of LUSH shower gels, I'd say LUSH Rose Jam is more moisturizing and less sudsy than most (although it will still foam up readily!), due to the inclusion of argan oil.

         LUSH Rose Jam Shower Gel (3.5 oz for $10.95) is a delightful, decadent, and delicious way to kick off the holiday season! This full bodied yet sweet, jammy rose is perfect for people like me, who love feminine florals. Now if only I could convince LUSH to offer Rose Jam shower gel year round ...

       Thanks for reading! Have you sniffed LUSH Rose Jam (the shower gel or bubbleroon)? What have you been eyeing from LUSH Holiday 2013? What are your favorite LUSH shower gels?
       
Love, Dovey.

  4. Have you tried Ro's Argan Body Conditioner? It has the same rose scent. You use it like a hair conditioner--wash with anything first, then spread Ro's on and rinse off--you get that same wonderful rose scent and a super moisturized body--love it!!
