This soap is so fantastic. I love soaps, and I especially love Lush soaps, but I find a few of them are hit and miss. This is a massive hit! It shares its scent with the famous Comforter bubble bar and shower cream, and also the Sweetie Pie shower jelly (which is now discontinued).
The soap is gorgeous. I have had several, and they've all been a very dark purple, full of glitter and in some cases the top was sprinkled with silver lustre, as the top of this soap is patterned with reindeers, much like how a caveman would carve things into their rock walls.
Omg this soap smells amazing. As I said, it shares it's scent with the popular Comforter shower cream, but I feel like I like it better in soap form rather than cream form. It lathers really well, even at 4am when I'm half asleep but needing to wash my hands in icy water. I'll definitely be purchasing another chunk of this come Christmas!
By now everyone including my next door neighbours brothers, cousin's aunt twice removed knows how much I love Lush and that it is life for me, I don't usually LOVE the soaps although I have a major stockpile just so they look purdy in a glass jar on my bath tub. This one however has me in knots wanting more and more!
I bought it with the whole xmas stock obviously but I seriously wish I had gotten more of it to satisfy my want and need for it. I got just over 100g and paid $8.50. It comes in a clear plastic bag to keep it semi protected and with the label attached to tell you what it is with the weight and ingredients.
I love the picture of the deer on it however, the deer must be massive because I only have an antler and part of an ear on mine. It is dark purple with glittery and shimmery bits in it. In one word BEAUTIFUL!! It makes my heart happy that's for sure.
I cut a small piece off just so I could try it and not ruin the rest. It smells of blackberry but even sweeter. The scent is intense but it's amazing! I love me some bling so the glitter and shimmer is right up my alley. I used it over my whole body expecting it to make my skin dry and squeaky like the other Lush soaps do but it didn't do that. The bubbles are not in short supply which I love and are creamy almost. My skin feels quite slippery but nourished and moisturised which is awesome. The smell lingers on my skin for most of the day unless I am doing something strenuous.
The only thing I didn't like is like all the other Lush soaps it forms a slimy film if you leave it in the shower soap dish for it to get wet. I find myself having to scrape off the scum just to get to the soap. I would have also expected some of the shimmer to transfer to my skin but it doesn't seem to wanna stick. In the end though it's a gorgeous soap that I love and does what soap should do. I hope they make it again next xmas round.
Tips: Keep out of the wet areas to avoid it getting a slimy film on it.
