Lush Sweet Japanese Girl Cleansing Bar

This young lady is a total life saver. I am so, so gutted that it has been discountinued...so gutted that I bought 7 of them. :) Sweet Japanese Girl is a wonderful little lady based on old traditional style Japanese sweetie moulds, hence the name. She is a facial massage bar, completely natural and with no preservatives or packaging, which it just precious. She contains beautiful natural ingredients, such as cocoa and shea butters to soften, moisturise and smooth the skin, ground aduki beans to exfoliate, lemon and tea tree oils to kill spots and juniperberry to detoxify. All this for only £4.84...what? And it lasts for ages!!! Why are they getting ...  Read the complete review

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this after I have been using it for nearly a year. Firstly I will say, if you want it, buy it now! It is being discontinued, but it's still available on the website. I have got 5 now to last me a few months! Sweet Japanese Girl is a cleanser bar made my Lush. It costs £4.84 and it's vegan. The main ingredient is cocoa butter with other important ones being ground almonds and tea tree oil. It is shaped like a face, flat on the back and rounded on the front and it's about the size of half a small fist. The way you use this is to get it wet and then rub it all over your face. The dround almonds and adouki ...  Read the complete review

I bought this as part of my "feel better for not going out New Years Eve 2008" gift to myself. My way of taking my mind off the fact I live in London and was not going out. (Too cold, too many screaming small children who should not be out and didn't want to walk 4 miles home again after the buses were too packed or full of vomit) I digress... The Sweet Japanese Girl is a facial wash/exfoliation bar which is fairly self explanatory- you use it to wash and scrub your face to make it clean. In Lush stores right now (Jan 2009) it is priced at £4.84 a bar. What appealed to me about Japanese Girl were initially the smell- I love smelling all ...  Read the complete review

I read a few reviews recently about Lush's Sweet little Japanese girl facial cleansing bar. They were all positive reviews, and they mentioned that it was now a discontinued product. There had been an untouched bar of Sweet Japanese Girl in my bathroom cabinet for months, maybe about six months, I don't know because it wasn't wrapped, and I really had no intentions of ever using it. I like cream cleanser formulations, and liquid exfoliators like St.Ivel, I don't really like soap products as I find them drying. Really I only bought Sweet Japanese Girl for her cute little face! I was considering putting it on eBay. I felt a little bit ...  Read the complete review

Oh dear, having just been using my daughter's Japanese Girl Cleansing Bar from Lush, I've just read some reviews on Dooyoo telling me it's now discontinued? If so I'll be truly disappointed as it's one of the best products I've ever tried. It looks rather uninspiring partly due to the colour which is the colour of oatmeal & partly the packaging which is a plain polythene bag with a basic Lush label which keeps it fresh & tells you how to use & what it contains. Once opened & used though I can thoroughly recommend as it is an easy to use bar & defintitely gives quick results leaving the face feeling not only cleansed but also ...  Read the complete review
