Review: Need Help Waking Up? Lush Back for Breakfast Shower Gel Will Do the Trick!

The weather is getting cooler now and I just want to turn over, throw the covers over my head, and sleep all day. I’m so NOT a morning person. When the alarm goes off I’m the type that wants five minutes hours more.

It could go below zero and I still absolutely positively need to shower in the AM because that jolt of warm water is the only thing that will wake me up since I don’t drink coffee.

The other thing that brings my half asleep self back to the land of the living? Lush Back for Breakfast Shower Gel, of course.

I was actually kinda sorta just getting into Lush around the time Back for Breakfast Shower Gel got discontinued. I remember feeling like the world was over. We all have that feeling when our favorite products disappear don’t we? “OMG! My life is over! Russian Red has been discontinued! Kill me!”

We get over that shiz fast and on to the next great thing eh? But at the time I was pretty upset that Back for Breakfast wouldn’t be spending quality time with me in the shower. Lucky enough it’s part of the Retro Lush Collection now and I can purchase anytime I desire.

Much like Slammer, Back for Break is a sunny, bright blend of citrus-y fruits. Slammer is nice mind you but Back for Breakfast is a truer citrus scent for me where as Slammer has an odd back note, Back for Breakfast comes across full on fruity citrus goodness.

Filled with tart limes, grapefruits, and lemon oils this lovely concoction has a bright, sunny scent that will wake you up and banish your thoughts of rolling back into bed.

I like doing a little shower karaoke when I’m using it. It just makes me want to do a little Partridge Family jig as I sud up. Occasionally I switch it up and do a little Judy Garland, you can’t go wrong with Judy.

Come on get happy bitches!

    LOL you made me think of being a little girl again with that song. And that shower gel sounds awesome. I have never tried it or anything from Lush. And yes, one cup of coffee with stevia, half an half and a little coffee tee-hee and tea too. All kinds.

  • Michelle

    Ahhh, this is something I need for my hubby and myself!

    P.S I totally understand the coffee thing..tea is my drink of choice too ; unless its the flavored iced dessert type of coffee chiller/frappe thingy with whipped cream …arrrgh…drool…thats a good coffee!

    I don’t drink coffee either, and I live in the Seattle area, so I get a lot of weird looks 🙂 But I can’t get going without my morning tea. English Breakfast with a glug of milk, thank you!

  • Kiss & Make-up

    Sounds like a good kick start 🙂 I personally like Lush’s shower gel with orange juice and tequila. Makes you fell all refreshed too.

    I’m an evening/late afternoon bather but this would sounds like a good pick-me-up at the end of a long day.
