Lush Icon Soap

I received a good few Lush products over Christmas as gifts and slowly I have been getting round to using them, I have also decided that it is about time I started writing some reviews on them so I can muster up the money to replace the ones I liked. One soap bar that I got from a friend really looked good to me and after using it was as good to use as it had looked. The bar I refer to is the Icon soap bar, it is a very deep purple in colour and the scent from it is beautiful both before it is used and during use. It lathers up to quite a creamy thick lather and the scent is as deep as its purple colour, the scent is best described as ...  Read the complete review

Now when it comes to Lush I do prefer the plainer soaps (even though I do sometimes buy soaps containing nature!) and when I wondered upon this in the USA I was absolutely taken aback by the fragrance. When Im in the US I do tend to stock up on Lush as sometimes they do products that you can't get over here so its always nice to have something different. Lush finally brought this soap back after what seemed like a 10 year gap! Thank god they brougt this back as the feeling in the Lush community was rife with revolt! To look at Icon its the most amazing rich purple colour, it reminds me of the caramel & hazelnu Cadburys Roses - and no not the ...  Read the complete review

Let me just say that I didn't actually buy this soap I went in and asked for a sample, because the price for this is £11.50 for a mere 100g!!!!!!! It smells of oranges, bergamot and sandalwood, very spicy and intense. It is deep dark purple in colour and it has a golden sparkly sheen which when you use it rubs off on your skin. I personally used it before an evening out because it gave me a nice glow and the smell really enhanced the perfume I was wearing - Hypnotic Poison. It is quite firm in texture but it did break very easily, however I only had a tiny wafer thin piece so a larger bar may hold together a bit better. There was not much lather ...  Read the complete review

This is the most expensive soap/bath product I have ever bought ! Retailing at £11.50 for 100g from Lush its just ridiculously expensive. I personally paid around £7 for it as I bougt it on Ebay and that is alot to pay for a bar of soap, there is no way would have EVER bought it from Lush for its full price. And the only reason I paid £7 was curiosity - what could be so marvellous about a soap that its worth £11.50 ? This soap is called Icon and it is a very deep purple colour, it is from the Retro Lush range, which also adds to its price, because Retro Lush can be bought only from the Lush website, where you are charged nearly £4 in postage even if you buy ...  Read the complete review

The only time I ever buy solid soaps is when Lush brings out something I just cannot resist buying, other than that I prefer the more hygienic liquid soaps from pump dispensers. Lush Icon soap was a block soap that I was definitely tempted by because it had the most beautiful pure scent but when I saw that a 100g bar was going to cost me £11 the temptation eased somewhat. Lush products are never cheap but I thought this was totally overboard and decided at first to leave it but a few weeks later I noticed the soap was on offer at a mere £5 per 100g bar so I made my move and I am ever so glad I did. This soap has the most beautiful rich ...  Read the complete review
