Lush Let The Good Times Roll Review

When I was at Lush a while ago the lovely salesgirl gave me some very generous samples to try out at home. While I enjoyed all of them, this was definitely the standout product for me, and one that went immediately on to my purchase list.

First off, it has the most amazing, warm, caramelly scent. I can definitely see where the popcorn scent description comes in, but I think it’s more like a caramel/sweet popcorn scent than a salty one. (It has the same scent as the Popcorn lip scrub, if you’ve tried that). It’s a soft yellow colour, and solid, like Angels on Bare Skin, etc. It has a fine but gritty texture, mostly owing to the maize flour (corn flour) and polenta, which makes it a really gentle exfoliant. I don’t mind using it every morning, because it’s not harsh, and doesn’t over-strip my skin.

To use it, I pinch off a pea-sized amount and add a tiny amount of water (literally a few drops) to mix it to a paste. Then I gently rub it over my damp face, and rinse it away. I prefer to use it in the shower, since it is a bit more messy than a standard cleanser, and so sometimes I leave it on my face while I wash my hair, etc, and then rinse it off at the end.

It leaves my combination/dry skin so soft, and doesn’t strip or dry it out like heaps of other cleansers (including Angels on Bare Skin, the Lush favourite). I feel like I haven’t had many breakouts at all since I started using this, and my skin has been looking great.

The only con is that it can be a bit tricky to use because of the pot packaging. The screw-top lid can be a bit hard to navigate in the shower without getting water into the pot (which isn’t good for the remaining product), and it’s a bit bulky to store. However, since Lush packaging is completely recyclable and environmentally friendly, it’s a very small inconvenience that I can easily look past given how lovely the product is inside.

Overall, this is my favourite of all the Lush products I’ve ever used. It’s probably not hard to tell given my rating, but this is definitely a repurchase for me!

This is one of Lush’s cleanser products, and this was recommended to me by a friend. I had low hopes for this, and was personally more interested in Lush’s range of masks, rather than there cleansers which to me, just did not interest me at all! However, my friend actually gave me a super generous sample of this cleanser to try so I really had no excuse not to. And spoiler alert, as soon as in finished the sample she gave me, I practically rushed into Lush to buy the full size version.

Like most of Lush’s products, this one also comes in the small black container, and has a really good seal on it, so im more than happy to leave this in the shower without fear water will seep in a ruin my $20 cleanser (and trust me, I would be less than impressed if that happened.

First impressions? Well when I open the container, I can see the colour of this scrub is a golden yellow, and I smell this slightly sweet oat scent, which reminds me of porridge, or a crumble of some sort. The texture is the same as all their other cleansers and it is a crumbly solid, which I would compare to an short crust pastry in texture. The texture however also has fine granules in there, which I think is the polenta which is ever so slightly abrasive.

The way I use this cleanser is a get a small amount (maybe the size of half a 10c coin, and I add a tiny bit of water to make a paste. Let me just mention that when I’m using this product the smell is amazing, better than it smells in the container because its actually going on your face and it smells so nice. I’m not great at describing scents but its got an oaty scent, with a toffee undertone, but its not sickly sweet at all, it just has this perfect mild sweetness. I apply this to my face (with my hands) in upward circular motions. Because of the fine polenta in this product, this cleanser can also be a really gentle scrub and exfoliator as well as cleansing my face so a dual purpose product. Sometimes if im using this in the shower (which is my preference because it can be slightly messy), I will let the cleanser sit of my face like a mask for a few minutes well I’m doing other things.

When I wash this cleanser off my face, my skin literally feels like butter. It is clean, but not squeaky clean, and it’s so soft and silky smooth. I normally use this as a night time cleanser, and the next day, my skin just looks amazing and radiant. But I don’t use this every day because of the exfoliating aspect of the cleanser, but use it perhaps 3 times a week instead. I haven’t used this on my body because I think it’s too expensive for a body cleanser, but by the feeling of it, I’m sure it would be a lovely gently cleanser for your skin if you could afford it use it this way. This (along with the Lush’s dark angel’s cleanser) have quickly become one of my top cleansers. I recommend this to everyone, because it seems as well as making awesome bath bombs and bubble bars, lush makes some amazing cleansers too.

I am a lush addict. I am always trying their products. This one in particular was a limited edition product but then they made it a permanent product. The texture is like playdough. You only need a pea size amount as you put water onto it and turn it into a paste. The smell is amazing. There is little popcorn bits and it has a small exfoliant in it to scrub away those dead skin cells. It's great for me because I have sensitive skin. This is a great scrub for all skin types

Wow !! This product for me is a winner. Not only does it smell like caramel popcorn it leaves my skin feeling softer then a baby's bottom. The product has a dough like constancy until it comes in contact with water, then it starts to break up and look like mud in your fingers. I gently smooth it accross my faces and tackle my problem areas as it has a gentle exfoliant from the maize flower ingredient, this would be great for people who suffer from congestion and blocked pores. I love this product and will keep it in my beauty routine !

I absolutely adore this product!

I was first introduced to it by a friend who went from quite acne prone skin to beautiful clear skin and in amazement I demanded her secret! She said that it was this cleanser that really helped with her problem areas.

Although its on the higher end price wise for a standard cleanser, you get quite a large amount in the Lush black containers, and knowing its hand made and Eco friendly helps.

I tried it out immediately and gosh it smells yummy! Lots if people say its like popcorn but personally I think it's more caramel sweet cookie-dough ish. It's just divine! I've found it works best if I wash my face with warm water, then scoop out only a tiny amount (20 cent piece size is enough) and then rub it into a paste with the warm water still on my hands.

It leaves my skin exfoliated but not dry like other exfoliants and surprisingly soft and hydrated. As somebody with both combination and sensitive skin I had no problems with reaction or my skin getting oily or dry or problematic!

The only this is because it is a scrub and definitely gritty I found it was kinder on my skin to only use it a couple times a week rather than as my daily cleanser, but that's just my personal preference.

All in all it's probably my top Lush product and will continue using the beauty as long as they make it!

This scrub is perfect to exfoliate the eczema on my face with, it's not too rough and smells divine! It also leaves my skin hydrated and feeling LUSH afterwards. Has been an absolute necessity to my daily skincare routine.

Not only does the smell of this make you want to eat it, but it leaves my skin feeling amazingly smooth and soft. It takes so long to go through the entire pot as a small coin size amount on your palm goes a long way. I have quite noticable pores on my nose and this thing buffed them into near non existence! Must try, probably one of the best scrubs to come out of Lush. love love love x

Absolutely love the lush range of cleansers moisturisers and soaps. This cleanser had a yummy edible scent to it, when applying it leaves a nice soft layer of product on your face, after use I felt it instantly hydrate and make my skin feel refreshed. I really enjoyed using this product I cant wait to buy my next batch

First off, this stuff just smells incredible. It seems good enough to eat, a buttery caramel popcorny type fragrance that's comfortable, like warm baking.

It's a very gentle cleansing scrub, with just enough grit from the maize flour and polenta to exfoliate. I have combination skin but I didn't find it too oily or too dry. I think it would be good for people with sensitive skin for sure. It definitely left my skin feeling softer and smooth (and smelling nice). There's a hint of cinnamon in there too.

This product comes in the standard Lush pots (trade 5 in for a free face mask!). You only need a little bit each time as you're meant to mix a small piece with some water to create a paste. If you don't get it liquid enough it'll just crumble away and that's no use to anyone.

Overall, this is probably my favourite cleanser, and one of my top everyday Lush products for sure.

My skin has been a little worse for wear lately. It has been so dry, especially on my cheeks and around my nose. I decided to give lush a try as so many people rave about it. Let the good times roll cleanser sounded like a good start for me. $18.90 for a 100g pot is a great price as a little goes a long way.

Upon opening the pot I got a gorgeous smell like caramel, toffee goodness! Yum! It looks like cookie dough and I find it really appealing. It took me a few times to figure out what the best way to apply was. I use it at night in the shower and simply wet my face and hands and get a small bit and rub it all over my face. Having wet hands helps to make it into a great consistency. I massage it around for 20 seconds then wash it off.

I am left with gorgeous soft skin which smells heavenly. I have had no breakouts at all while using this and my dryness has gone away completely. This cleanser is amazing for me! It doesn't leave a film on my face at all but definately leaves it feeling super moisturised. It is gentle enough to use everyday.

I absolutely love this and I have just ordered another pot so I don't run out over xmas. Love it!
