Okay, the title is a partial lie because I have never tried egg-nog but I do love the soap that is a play on the name. When I still had a local lush, I ran to the store to smell this product when their Christmas collection was released but it smelt like nothing to me (silly smell of Lush messing with my senses) so I didn’t make an order. It wasn’t till I received a sample of the stuff that I actually went and brought a big chunk of soap.
This soap is a beautiful caramel colour and has imprinted festive shapes on the top with a brownish-cinnamon looking sprinkle on top. The soap has a beautiful smell. It’s sweet with a vanilla or caramel undertone and some spicy notes to it too. It smells like Christmas. I mean, I have to give this soap points for having a festive name, look, and smell.
Good work spreading the Christmas cheer lush! I found the soap to be soft and creamy, creating a nice gentle lather and clean. Because it is a bit softer, the soap doesn't last as long as the harder soaps from the range, but still I find soft soaps last a long time anyway.
This isn't a soap I would use all year, but I love using it in the Christmas season because it smells like Christmas and makes my life a bit more festive. Would I purchase again? Yes for sure, it’s not my fav soap from Lush, but its ideal for the holiday season
I love Christmas and the delish limited edition products and this is no exception.
The toffee coloured soap feels quite soft, one side of the soap has a brown dusting covering the soap but this washed away when I first used it.
Now many (many) moons ago Christmas was all about lolly scrambles with Mackintosh toffees, my favourite ever was the orange one egg and cream, this soap smells exactly like that lolly, I just wanted to eat it. At least it probably wouldn't break my teeth. It also has like a very subtle nutmeg note in the background but I couldn't see it on the ingredient list.
This soap is so creamy and rich you can almost feel your skin being moisturised at the same time as washing. This lathers up slightly and the cream and egg toffee scent fills the bathroom. I'm left with silky soft skin but unfortunately the scent doesn't linger on my skin.
Being the softer, creamier type of soap you have to treat it with care, letting it dry on a rack without water touching it or it will turn into gloop. This soap is such a treat and most certainly reminds me of Christmas.
