Lush Each a Peach Massage Bar Review

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 .

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.

When I was going to get some Lush Massage Bars a couple years back this was the first bar I wanted to try. I generally like some citrus scents and since I wanted to massage my bf at the time I wanted a more unisex scent. This oval massage bar is quite easy to hold and glide over your skin. It has a fresh lemon scent not as bitter, lemony as Lemony flutter though. I like that with the exception of a couple synthetic ingredients the main one being perfume, it's completely natural. A massage bar is definitely less messy than oil and if you apply an adequate amount you get pretty good slippage for a massage. If your skin is warm it does glide over reasonably well and melt okay on contact. I also found one bar does last a long time despite being only 65 grams. The downside is that as soon as the temperature drops slightly it doesn't melt on your skin well. So in summer it's fine but then you have to store it in the fridge and you have to take it out well ahead of time to warm up unless you want to hold it over a heat source. Since I don't currently give massages at the moment I have been using this on myself after a shower. It does leave my skin pretty soft but because it's meant for a massage of course it doesn't really soak in. Thus the dilemma it melts well in summer but it's a bit too heavy in summer perfect for winter but it doesn't melt or spread well. Because it doesn't melt well it's easy to rub to much on your skin and then when it does melt you're rather greasy. But I guess this is the way massage bars are and I've experienced the same thing with Strawberry Feels Forever, so I guess this probably how Lush's massage bars are. I've been using this of late on my dry bits after a shower like my knees and elbows over my body lotion. But I find it best for breast massage, since well it is a massage bar. Despite the cons I still bought more massage bars from Lush and will continue to get more. I think this is great for giving massage and even if it does cost a bit you will get a lot of use out of it.

I finally managed to get my hands on this Each a Peach Massage Bar and was unsure as to whether I would like it or not. I am totally spoiled by the Dusk Til Dawn massage bar so wanted to compare it to that.

The bar is quite a nice size and easy to hold which is great. It will last for quite a long time so as to the getting your money's worth, then it is a definite yes.

It is a lovely creamy whitish/yellow colour and doesn't stain when you apply (big plus in my books). It glides on beautifully and melts with your own skin's temperature.

I just massage it in circular movements on the parts of the body that I want and you can start to smell the sweet mellow lemon fragrance. I'm not sure why they call it Each Peach because personally I think it smells like Lemons not Peaches, but that could just be my sense of smell ha ha ha.

It really makes me feel all de-stressed and warm all over. I find I sleep better when I apply it too (major plus). This one also isn't as greasy feeling as other massage bars from their range.

Would I purchase it again? Definitely, however my first love will always be Dusk Til Dawn, this is my new second favourite.

Why did I only give it 4 stars? Because I love my massage bars strong smelling and this was a bit more mellow than I'm used to, but in no way a bad thing.
