Do you love Honey I Wash The Kids? This us the shower gel for you! Frankly speaking I find it quite difficult to work with bar soap. Only making exception for Lush soap. But with shower gel, I'm going to be able to abandon the Honey I Wash The Kids soap.
Pro:
Foams up really well
Very moisturing
Smell awesome
Works well as a shampoo
Con:
Expansive
Smell doesn't linger on your skin (lingers in the hair though)
Overall it's a must buy for me!

I absolutely love this body wash. It is more moisturizing than Honey I washed the Kids with the same great sweet scent. I even got my mom hooked on this when she used my shower!

I found that this doesn't smell like Honey I Washed the Kids at all. Instead, it smelt like caramelized pears with a touch of honey. I like the scent of it, but I was disappointed that it didn't smell exactly like Honey I Washed the Kids as they said it would. I found that the smell doesn't last a long time on my skin. But it lasts all day if I were to use it in my hair. So I generally use this as a shampoo.

Kind of disappointed with this product. Really wanted to love this product, I love honey I wash the kids shower gel, and this does smell a bit like the original soap but not quite the same. I also find that the smell does not really last very long on my skin once I've come out of the shower. It doesn't really lather too well and it doesn't really leave my skin leaving clean or fresh.
Will stick with the soap next time.

Edit: DH also uses due to beautiful yummy scent... Although was initially put off by name..
.
When I discovered HIWTK solid perfume was discontinued, even in LONDON, I was inconsolable ...(temporarily, that is. I then spotted some Jamaican street performers, outside the store--doing fun flips, cartwheels, dances, stunts--their brilliant, jaw-dropping performance successfully revived my waning spirits. Sadly, hubby pulled me away before I could empty out my wallet to thank them for the favour)
.
THIS IS THE NEXT BEST THING to that perfume! it's like...shower gel, yeah? but i also use it in my hair (cuz the bottle says to! so it must be fine)... AND OMG THE SCENT LASTS AND LASTS AND IT'S LIKE HONEY MIXED WITH AWESOMENESS (read my ancient HIWTK solid perfume review, under pertiegurlie account, to understand how insane I go for this scent)....!
.
To be honest, the shower gel leaves my hair feeling rather knotted right after I wash it out (but who cares? that's what conditioner's for)... also, scent doesn't last too well on the skin, only in hair, but hey, it's not claiming to be perfume, nor save the world! I'm happy, not ecstatic, about the purchase (now, if they only brought back the HIWTK solid perfume, I'd be doing backflips like those streetperformers...)

Finally got this after it not being stocked in my store for months! The price is kind of ridiculous ($26 for the biggest size....cmon it's body wash!) but I adore the scent of Honey I Washed The Kids but I don't really like using bar soap. The lather on this is good, a little on the thin side (I wouldn't use this to shave my legs if I were you) and I like feeling clean after I use it. A good buy if you love the honey scent.

This is a great indulgence product! Oh my gosh, does it smell delicious! It does not dry my skin out (for once) and while it's very pricey, I would definitely purchase it again. I've tried it on my hair and it's wonderful. I love that honey is the first ingredient. YUMMMMM

I like LUSH but I am not a fan because there aren't too many products that I would repurchase or buy full price (only during major sales). This is a product, which is overpriced, but so worth it. I love the Honey I Washed the Kids, which this is known to be a liquid dupe of. Like many of mentioned, it is slightly different but definitely sister scents. The scent is truly like nothing else, and even though it has chemicals (i.e. propylene glycol) that I avoid, I make an exception for this soap. I don't find it drying, but I would not call it extremely moisturizing. It seems just right to me. The scent seems to last longer than some other LUSH soaps, which seem to be made for just the shower "experience" and not a lingering fragrance. It just makes showering so pleasant and leaves the bathroom smelling lovely. My boyfriend really loves the scent and I think a lot of people will like the scent, not really one of those love it or hate it types. Glad it came back, and hope it will stay forever. Want a perfume/spray identical to this!

I love this shower gel/shampoo combo! My skins smells so good and feels so soft and clean after use (even after a couple of days - my skin dries out faster if I shower everyday).

I love all things honey, so that might be a reason why I wanted to initially try it. To me, it smells like rich caramel with a slight honey infusion. I haven't used it on my hair (I have my staple shampoo and a lush shampoo bar for that), but I might in the near future. It's so expensive, so I don't like to use it all the time. Worthy to note, you don't need a lot of it to suds up. Just use a dime size amount and that's plenty.

Woo Hoo! Lush has made this part of the permanent line. I just love this honey/caramel scent. It smells good enough to eat! I have tried Honey I Washed the Kids soap however I found it too drying so this is the perfect solution for me as now I don't have to compromise my sensitive skin. It's Raining Men lathers up nicely and the scent lasts throughout the day. Also I was initially a little put off smelling this straight out of the bottle as it does not smell the exact same as the soap but when mixed with water the scent is just as amazing!

My absolute favorite! It smells like the Honey I Washed the Kids soap, so if you are a fan of that, you will most likely enjoy this treasure. Aside from the scent, another great thing about this product is how moisturizing it is. I have showered using this gel (with my loofa) and not put lotion on after, so the smell would stay. My skin remained smooth and silky even without lotion! It may get pricey, but worth every penny and a bottle can last you a good amount of showers.

This showergel has the smell of the famous Honey I washed the kids soap. This was one of the first Lush items I ever bought. I stopped buying it after they changed their soap formula, which caused them to lather a lot less than usual. That's why I'm so happy with this showergel! I'd love it if Lush made it permanent! It smells exactly like the soap and the lather is rich and wonderful. To me it's perfection in a bottle!

i wish this was permanent!!!
it smells like sweet creamy honey and dear gawsh i LOVE this stuff.
Ive stocked up on three huge bottles of it when it was out and im nearing the end of my second bottle and starting to cry more and more the more i use it!! (even though it makes me feel so good and happy when i use it :) )
the scent of this product is pure honey and its so indulgent since i have the sweetest honey tooth. i hope this is brought back in the future so i can go mad and stock up more!! it doesnt dry the skin, the scent lingers but isnt offensive at all and i love layering candy fluff body powder over it!! makes me feel like an angel with somewhat seedy intentions ^.^ recommend whole hearted to those who LOVE LOVE LOVE honey. 5 stars!

i really hope that this becomes perminent man!! ive never bought a shower gel/hair shampoo so expensive in my life but i loved the smell so much so i bought a 250m bottle hoping that the scent would linger in my hair. what i didnt expect it to do is to make my hair so soft and managable. its absolutely lovely to wash your hair with. i snatched up the last two little bottles from the store and am planning on taking one on holiday with me because its just devine. i really wish that its not as expensive as it is coz then i would just bathe in this stuff. its also kind of random how you can bring back the black pots for a free fresh face mask but cant bring back the empty bottles for the same purpose? would someone please tell me whether you can or not lol?

Like showering in creamy honey that is normally reserved for Greek Gods. So yummy and my skin is lovely and smooth and firm now. I can't believe that it is seasonal though, when I found that out I went out and bought 3 massive bottles which should last me till September. I'm not sure what I will do when that time comes..... probably cry. Ok, I'm not that lame but you get the picture.
If you get the massive bottles then it works out as dirt cheap but the annoying thing about those bottles is that they aren't very strong and the cap tends to break off if you drop the bottle even once. Luckily the shower gel doesn't escape easily.

“It’s Raining Men” is a delicious, honey shower gel that is absolute heaven. My boyfriend and sister have tried it and love it- gender neutral, it just smells that good! Smells like the “Honey I Washed the Kids” soap. Limited edition shower gel for Valentine's Day, get it while you can!

Ohhh yeahhh! This is the most moisturizing shower gel I have tried in all my 34 years on the planet! I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't for the clever SA who put a bit on my hands and told me to lather up. It lathered nicely, smelled ok, but wow, it made my skin feel so soft and moisturized, it was unbelievable. I have used it even as a facial cleanser, on a soft sponge, and loved it - my skin felt simply wonderful afterwards!

Do I love the way this smells? Do I hate the way this smells? Hard to say... to be honest. I can live with it because it makes me feel soft, smooth and... wholesome after using it all over. (I don't think I'll try this as a shampoo though, the scent would just be too much to bear!)

Anyway, I hope they still have another bottle or two left at the local Lush shop, cause I'm buying another!

I love the smell of HIWTK soap but it always leaves my skin feeling a little dry. However, It's raining men makes my skin feel soft (although I still need to do a thorough moisturizing after showering). I love the smell, the texture, and how much it suds up. It is expensive, as all lush products go, but i use so little of it at a time I feel like it's an okay splurge item. I've tried this as a bubble bath, its nice, but as a shampoo its surprisingly fantastic!!! I would use it as a shampoo all the time but i don't want to use up the whole bottle too quickly.

Basically, I love it.

I hate to disagree with everyone about this product...but it smells like man. And not a nice man who comes a courting with flowers and candy. A sleezy man. A man in a synthetic shirt standing alone at a bar waiting for someone...anyone to get drunk enough to think he is not nausiating so he can pounce.

I am not sure why everyone likes this scent...yuck.
