Two Lush shower gels that I hope will make their way across the pond: Scan Me for Scares (“A screamingly good cranberry wash. Relax and take a shower with sweet cranberry infusion and hydrating glycerine, served with a side of horror film vibes. If you’re feeling brave, triple check that the door is locked behind you and scan the QR code on the label. While the sounds give you goosebumps, corn syrup gives you moisture, leaving the skin soft and smooth. It’s a deliciously scary shower experience!”) and Bananaaaa (From a collaboration with Minions; “Doing a boss’s dirty work is no mean feat. That’s why no self-respecting minion would be without this creamy, banana-scented gel after a hard day’s badness. Handle with caution: one whiff of this sweet banana blend will draw every minion within a five-mile radius”). At Lush UK.
