It’s review time! It’s felt like a thousand years since I posted a review, but I promise they’ll keep coming! I just placed a massive Sephora order and will probably have a lot to say. But today, I’m focusing on a gift I got for Christmas: LUSH’s Cookie Dough Shower Scrub.
Since this is a seasonal item, it’s unfortunately not available at LUSH anymore, but I have a lot to say about it, so I figured I’d write this anyway. And if you wanna give it a try, you have something else to put on your holiday list!
I have both good and bad things to say about this scrub. I’m usually instantly obsessed with LUSH’s products, but this one took a while for me to warm up to, and I’m still not completely sold on it.
First Impressions
This scrub smells so amazing I want to eat it every time I use it. I’m dead serious! It smells like fresh cookie dough you want to gobble up before it even goes in the oven (salmonella, who?). With that being said, the look of it is less than savory.
Let’s be honest guys. It looks like poop. The color is unsettling, and the texture grosses me out a bit too, especially when I find clumps of it in my tub after I shower. I know LUSH does use some artificial coloring, and I wish they would’ve thrown some in this scrub.
But Does It Work?
Kinda!
Don’t get me wrong, this scrub does a great job exfoliating. Since I’ve been using this scrub, my skin has felt a lot softer. I particularly love using it when I shave. But I’ve found that I feel really sticky after I shower with this scrub. I usually have to use a body wash after, which kinda sucks because I wanna smell like cookie dough all the time, and because the jar claims to exfoliate and cleanse. You also really need to use a lot to get the desired effect. And again, it’s not exactly the pretties to apply.
The Verdict
Though I love the smell of this scrub, I don’t think I’d purchase it after I’m done with this jar. I know LUSH makes a Cookie Dough Lip Scrub, so I may invest in that, or try another one of their scrubs. But this one just fell short to me, and I’m disappointed.
