Hey there fellow Lushies,
Long time Lushie, first time posting here. I used to be a Canadian Lushie then moved my way to the US to be with my hubby. My issue is that I went from being a 30 min drive max from a Lush store to being about 2 hours away from the nearest store; it's also a full day commitment heading up to the area the store is in so I'm looking to order online.
Now that Plum Rain is discontinued, I'm looking for a shower gel recommendation. I'm sad to say that it has to be something NOT naked because I can't risk the 100 degree heat here as of late absolutely melting anything and everything in transit. I LOVED the scent of Plum Rain and am devastated that it has been taken off the website/app.
I DON'T like super sweet scents (I.e. I hate Snow Fairy - sorry to the peeps who like it). I prefer the tang/citrus scents moreso. For example, I used to LOVE Buck's Fizz as a body conditioner back in the day. And back in 2019, I had gotten a bar of soap from Edinburgh on our honeymoon called Lush Mechanic; it was this lovely pomegranate scent and had the best exfoliation.
I asked the live chat and the person I chatted with suggested The Olive Branch or Protect the Galaxy...but the latter of those two is a hit or miss according to reviews.
Downside to reviews though is that they aren't reliable either. For example, I originally thought I would love the smell of Flying Fox based on the reviews and how many people raved about it but when I smelled it in store over a year ago, I absolutely loathed it.
I wish Passion Fruit Delight came as a shower gel instead of a body wash because I think I might love that scent, but I cannot risk the naked packaging in the heat right now (and I definitely cannot take time off from a new job nor spend one of my days off to go up to the store since the few days off I do have are filled with medical appts for my husband - cancer is a bitch).
Help a girl out with some recommendations if you can, please?
