For literally years I wanted to buy an Each Peach massage bar. But there was always a reason not to: 1) the price. At 418.50 for the bar, it seemed a bit high to me. I mean, bath bombs are roughly under $10 each and I can get 3-4 baths out of one. However after finally splashing out and buying Each Peach I have realized just how long this massage bar lasts. 2) I haven't always had someone to massage or to massage me, so many times I talked myself out of it. Though it can be used to help out with your own dry spots, it really is made for massages. This means it is quite oily and takes a long time to sink in (and sometimes depending on how much you use doesn't sink in completely). So in terms of using it as a moisturizer, there are much cheaper and more bang-for-your-buck products out there.
Reasons why I did want to buy it: 1) the smell is heavenly! Citrusy goodness with a creamy feel means it has that great refreshing and relaxing combination. I love citrus! And I love massages, so this product seemed perfect for me. After buying and use over months of time I've found that the smell doesn't stick around as much as I'd hoped. Still yummy, just not as wow-ing.
The application of the bar itself is simple though can be tiring - you heat it. I've ended up rubbing it in my hands or holding it for a while before applying to skin. It can take a while for it to heat up enough to make a good coating, but once it is heated the oil seems to flow a little too easily. And given what I mentioned before (the not sinking in) I also have to worry about it getting on the sheets.
If you like massage oils then this bar is a good alternative for you. Me, on the other hand, I enjoy massaging with creams such as body butter. That way i can trust it to sink in and not mark my sheets.
My partner loves Lush Massage bars. I popped in to Sylvia Park to pick up two bars for us to try out. The Each a Peach was the bar that stood out to me . I love Peaches. I didn't test it in store because I was in a hurry at the time.
The bar is solid beige colour. Has this flower design on it. The size of this massage bar seemed thinner than any of the other bars. I was hoping for a rich peach scent. Instead I got a very intense Lemon scent. Texture is solid. When warmed on skin it melts into an oil.
When I first applied this to my skin I got an big whiff of tangy lemons. It melts easily into my skin. My skin is dry. For this one bar I managed to get two forty five minute massages. The least amount of massages per bar.
It worked out to be about $9.25 per 45 minute massage. Quite disapointed. I got the most massages out of Strawberry Feels. I'm yet to try any other Lush bars that beats that one.
I did enjoy giving Lush massage bars a try. I think I will try some others. I probably won't repurchase this one because it didn't last long. I felt tricked by the name of it too lol .
