Lush Bob Soap

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've never been one to enjoy floral smells in soap - a spicy smell that actually makes me hungry while bathing suits me down to the ground. According to the Lush website it's also made from natural and organic ingredients. The soap you can see in the picture here comes coated in a red wax however, and here is where our problems start. ...  Read the complete review

I thought after writing a review about Christmas Carol I would continue the Christmas theme reviewing! Just for today only! In the run up to any major holiday Lush bring out limited edition items which usually consist of soap, bubble bars, ballistics and anything else that takes their fancy.

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
