Lush Fun Review

We purchased the rainbow fun for $16 It smells and looks great in the container, but we thought it is meant to be basically a bath time playdoh soap.

It is to crumble and hard to make things with when it's dry but if you use water it goes to slimy so it just ended up in the bath which just sank to the bottom. When pulled out from the bath and used as a soap it made your skin pink and soapy which was pretty cool.

It did made the water change colour, and add a few bubbles aswell and it really did smell amazing. Will see how we find the other half.

We used half of it in the one bath which turned it pink(the 2 orange and purple shades)

Definitely sticking to our bath bombs.

I got this because it looked interesting and BLUE! I had heard so much about the fun from Lush so had to give a go myself. I bought Fun in red and pink also so I could get a fair idea about whether I loved them or not.

I actually really like the clear container Fun comes in. It is more standout-ish than the normal black containers they have. I love the fact that I can reuse these because they have a screw top lid. I put my sons bits and pieces in it from his various toy sets.

The consistency is much like playdough and breaks off easily to use. I crumble mine in to the bath or use it in my sons hair. He loves Fun more than I do because of how you can play with it and the colour obviously. It created foamy bubbles everywhere and makes for a heavenly bath.

I actually don't really love Fun it's messy and after getting small amounts of water in it each time it melts away and leaves a slimy mess. My son thinks this is amazing fun though. For me it's just mess and hassle.

I prefer my bath bombs and bubble bars personally. I think this is more suitable for children who dislike bath time. It gives them something to play with and something to bath in with the flubbles it creates. As for the falling asleep due to the lavender, it actually works well for my son. It has great calming qualities about it so that's a plus as well as getting my boy to bed easily.

I have pink FUN and it came in a Lush Christmas Gift Pack I was either given or got in the boxing day sale. I have to admit from the beginning I kinda don't get the point if it. In the shower it's just a bit of a pain and is not the easiest to wash yourself with. As suggested I break a bit off and use it but it's a bit of a pain. I haven't used it in the bath but it would probably work much better in the bath. My three year old loves it and asks for "shower playdoh" when he's in the shower now. Since he enjoys it I'm leaving it for him and next time he wants a bath instead of a shower I'll give it a go in there.

I've received Fun a couple of times in Lush gift boxes - they aren't a product that I would consider buying on their own due to their novelty factor. Things I like about the product are that it is multi purpose and solid. This makes it great for travelling - no spills. I've used it in the shower and even for washing my clothes on a five week long trip. I did find it a bit tricky to use on a konjac body sponge. I've also used this as a shaving soap, rolled up into a ball, which was easier to apply. I used the green and red Fun which were both refreshing citrus scents.

Both pots lasted me a long time (well beyond their expiry) as I just didn't reach for them when I wasn't travelling. I would consider them for that purpose again but I think these are more for kids who would get more 'fun' out of them by playing with them. My friend says her kids are always squeaky clan after using these!

I tried Lush's Fun as I heard it was really multi-purpose so I was keen to see what it would do.

So you can use it like a bubble bar to make bubbles in your bath. You can use it as soap, you can use it as shampoo. You can also use it like play doh.

Well I certainly agree Fun is versatile. With a crumbly play doh like consistancy, it made an easy to crumble bubble bar and produced better bubbles that I was expecting.

It also worked as a soap but I prefer using a conventional soap.

As a shampoo I wouldn't use it, but for a grumpy reluctant kid it may be how you get their hair washed.

As far as making shapes goes I have zero creativity to even attempt that.

Packaging wise the clear container this product comes in is great because you can see what you have left and is also a useful storage container.

It was fun to try but I don't know if I'd personally use it again. But I think its a great product if you want an all in one product or have bath adverse children.

This lush fun is perfect for all ages and such a versatile product. I've got pink fun which smells like the rockstar soap, Christmas fun and Santa fun.

These come in clear plastic tubs with screw top lids. I pinch a piece from the block and start moulding different shapes the texture is like a cross between a playdoh and clay it's quite therapeutic playing with it, it's also great for kids.

I have used this as a body wash and a bubble bar it says it can be used as a shampoo but I'm scared I will get chunks of it in my hair and won't get it all out.

After I have made a masterpiece- tehe yeah right more like a blob, I hold it under running water and watch as mountains of foamy bubbles form. I was skeptical at first I really didn't think It was going to make many bubbles but boy I was surprised. It also leaves the bathroom air filled with the scent.

When used as a soap/body wash I pinch a piece from the tub and rub it over my bod it's quite chalky and almost stubborn to get off (hence the reason why I won't use it in my hair) it does lather up a lot which I LOVE I love bubbles and lots of lather! It also leaves your skin scented for ages afterwards.

This is also a great product for the wee ones in your life. I love watching my kidlets make their creations and have fun with them in the bath seriously there is no encouragement needed to get them into the bath when the fun is out!

This is a great product and FUN for all ages, with a range of uses what's not to love?

I initally brought this for myself, but found my kids had more fun with it than me. It makes great bath time crayons, colors baths and washes grubby little children. Its the perfect soap ! I found that it does need to be kept in a air-proof container , otherwise it will absorb the moisture from the bathroom. Theres new scents coming out fairly regularly which is awesome, along with colours. The scents tend to stay on your skin which is great. You can also freeze it and use it as required, if your worried about it not being used fast enough.

I have almost the whole array of 'Fun' colours available (missing yellow and green I think)

Blue is strong fresh lavender scent Pink is powdery Candy scented, so sweet and talc like Red is Mandarin scent and is nice even if you aren't a huge citrus fan Snow man is black, white and orange accent with fruity (fresh juice kind of) scent Magic of Christmas is a spicy fennel scent but full of glitter and different shades to work with including blue, red, gold (all glittered) and white (non sparkle)

Whist it is a playdoh type format you can make a lot of cool things or shapes and then the kids are more than happy to hop in to their bath. We use it as a bubble bath product as I find the kids skin dries out when used directly on their delicate bodies regularly. It can be used as a shampoo and I have tried it a couple of times on my son... it does a decent job but not something I'd used continually. My daughters hair wouldn't fair well as it is so long and fine... liquid shampoo all the way for her.

The bubbles made when used in a bath are on par with those of regular Lush bubble bars but of course the kids make the shapes they want and it dissolves just as readily into the water. I usually leave a wee bit for them to use as a soap but they prefer their bubble baths.

If left out for prolonged periods of time the white colour of the kit Funs will start to melt/dissolve as friends I'd gifted some too found out.

I'm currently using a tub of pink fun. I haven't really tried anything else except for a brief disaster with some red fun, (I took it out of the tub to use in a soap dish as I though it would be fun. Nope, once the water touched it, it melted everywhere! It smelled so delicious and fruity though and luckily I have one more tub of it to use at a later stage!). Fun comes in little screw top clear containers, it does say one the packaging to keep it in the container when you're done, maybe I need to learn how to read! Anyway, it also has very clear best before dates and who made it plus when you get 5 empty pots, you can take them back to lush for a free face masque.

Pink fun smells so good. This scent is made for me. It is very sweet and candy scented. This reminds me quite a bit of snow fairy so if you love that, then I think you would love this. The smell is very strong and leaves my bathroom smelling so good after and me too.

The texture of this is very unique from any other soap product I've ever used. It is squishy and mouldable. Just like dough. I personally don't bother making shapes with it, but I could see this being such a cool product for a child.

To use this, I just pull off a small chunk and rub it onto a shower puff. It does take a little more effort than shower gel to use but you do get an amazing lather and scent from it, so I think it's worth it.

I got all my fun tubs from the boxing day sale but they hadn't really appealed to me to use. After actually using it though, I love it. I'll definitely be looking out for some more scents. The monsters and aliens one appeals to me so I might buy that one next. They seem to have a lot of different scents available, so if super sweet isn't your thing, then there might be a different colour better suited to your tastes.

[Who else loves Miranda and got the "such fun" reference?].

I tried the tub of PINK Fun from the Christmas Collection which has the classic sweet, candy scent similar to the Snow Fairy shower gel.

The images on the back of the container suggest that there are four uses: as a play dough, a body wash, bubble bath and shampoo. I do not have a bath but I did give the other three uses a try...

1. Play: the first play was the best as the texture of the product was smooth and dough-like. Playing with the dough brought me back to my childhood and I had a lot of fun (as the name suggests) moulding the pink product into different shapes and squishing it between my fingers. After the product got wet, there was a slimy coating on it which made it difficult (and not as enticing) to play with.

2. Body Wash: this was my main use for the fun product and I simply broke off part of the product and rubbed it over my body. Afterwards, I could smell the delicious candy scent on my body. The container made storage easy and if you broke off too much, the product could be placed back into the container for next time.

3. Shampoo: I tried this twice but I don't think that I would use it as a shampoo personally. It made my hair feel squeaky clean - almost too clean for my liking! It was quite fun to rub into my hair but it was not something that I would want to do in a rush or on a regular basis as it was quite tricky to get an even coverage of bubbles through my thick hair. The big plus of using it as a shampoo was having the candy scent in my hair to smell throughout the day!

Overall, I had so much FUN with this product - who would have thought?! The product has a long shelf life so I managed to stock up on some of the blue lavender tubs during the Boxing Day sales and gift them to friends throughout the year. I would definitely repurchase and can't wait for the Christmas scents to come back out. Would be a great stocking filler, especially for younger children!
