I went a bit mad in the Lush online sale and bought one of every item in the festive Retro collection. Most of the items were bath products, and there was only one soap. This soap was Bob Soap. It was around a few years ago in the standard Christmas range and was brought back as part of Retro Christmas this year. I have no idea what the name means: for some reason I keep thinking of Bob from Blackadder, but I'm sure this has nothing to do with the soap! I have loads of other soaps to use up but I wanted to try this one straight away. I was attracted by the pretty glitter on the top, and also by the lovely scent. I unwrapped it from the cellophane and popped it ...  Read the complete review

From November onwards I stalk the counters of my local Lush looking for this stuff. It is my very favourite soap. The smell is made up of oranges, cinnamon, cloves and black pepper according to the packet, although I must confess that all my uneducated nose could describe it as is "a lovely warm spicy smell".

I am sat here with two chunks of this soap, a 100g bar that came in a gift box last year and another that has been half used and then returned to it's original Lush plastic bag. The green mess that it leaves over my body and my bath can still be seen on the sides of the bag, and i'm not really prepared to use this soap again in a hurry. This soap is glittery in appearance at first, and it does smell lovely - it has a sort of spicey, warm scent that has a hint of fruityness and is appealing to use in the long winter months. It's green colour does look pretty cool, both of mine do not have the redness in it as the picture shows but I guess that's just the luck of the draw.  Read the complete review
