Lush Reindeer Rock Review

I'm not a fan of soaps, I hate how messy they get and how they can dry my skin out so lump for a foaming hand soap that comes in a bottle over a bar for my sink areas for washing hands. I made a huge order from Lush when they released this year's Christmas editions and they popped in a huge chunk of this Reindeer Rock soap for free and now I'm kind of addicted to it.

Packaging wise, well if you know lush you know that they really don't do packaging aside from their branded wrapping paper that all the loose products are sent inside. This chunky slab of soap is pretty to look at with its deep blackcurrant shading and silver embedded sparkly reindeer on top. The smell is what has me hooked. It has a blackcurrant scent that makes me think of Ribena warmed up, or a blackcurrant licorice sweet I used to have back in England. It is additive I almost want to eat it.

It foams up really easy and the reside it leaves on the basin when you place it there is a brown sludge that never really hardens so it is easily washed away with no problems. I have only been using this as a hand soap in the bathroom but it hasn't dried out my skin or caused my hands to be irritated or crack. Will be getting another piece of this soap very soon as I am down to a sliver left and I need it...I need it!!!!

Out of all the LUSH soaps I have brought and used I would have to say this soap is the one I am loyal to. I had brought some from a Lush buy and sell group and I fell in love! I have been through 4 Reindeer rock soaps and I have already made plans to restock before Christmas is over. Sadly this soap is only stocked around Christmas time so you need to buy some before the jolly season ends!

The soap is a beautiful purple colour, it has small glittery dust which looks like it has been blessed with Reindeer dust, it smells like Blackcurrant and raspberries and gives your skin a light kiss of berry goodness. I have found this soap to not have a strong scent that lasts compared to other LUSH soaps.

My skin feels smooth, fruity and ready to take on the day. I like to get this soap and wrap it in my exfoliating cloth and rub it over my skin to get rid of all the dead skin. It also helps when I shave and gives me the closest shave with a delicious scent.

If I could afford to I would purchase a whole wheel of this, it is so good! But please try not to eat it, it smells good enough to eat but it doesn't taste as good as it smells.

I picked this up on a whim in Dunedin when I went in to buy my Snow Fairy. I was drawn by the gorgeous deep red colour and silvery shimmer to pick up a piece and the scent is to die for; I had to have it.

Reindeer Rock is a seasonal Lush Xmas soap, and this year is the first time I have purchased it. You purchase in the usual (for Lush) way - the soap comes in huge blocks and they carve off a piece for you. My piece is quite big, and was around the $11 mark. This soap is of the harder type, meaning that it will last longer than the creamier varieties do.

Reindeer Rock soap initially appears as a deep, glossy red shade, but when you wet it and lather up you realise that hidden in the depths is a gorgeous shimmery silvery lustre. This doesn't give your skin a Twilight sparkle, more just makes it very pretty to use; I find myself entranced by how pretty it is sometimes!

The lather has a faint red hint to it. The soap does what soap should do (cleans you!) without drying skin out. The fragrance is a divine wintery berry fragrance - it kinda reminds me of mulled wine with a bit more sweetness.

Stock up on this one while you can, ladies! it's actually my new fave Lush soap of all time! I wish they made it in a shower gel :)

I am a sucker for limited edition products and in particular Christmas limited editions all the yummy scents, so when Lush uploaded all the new Christmas range to their site I was like a moth to a flame.

When it arrived i opened up the cellophane wrap for a wee sniff and good heavens I liked it a lot. Sweet blackcurrant came rushing out to welcome me with open arms, it also reminds me a bit of the sweetie pie shower jelly.

One end of the block was completely covered in silver lustre, which all came off when I ran it under the tap, there is lustre through the deep purple coloured bar that makes it look so pretty.

This lathers up quite a bit when you use it and leaves a faint hint of the blackcurrant after using it.

This is a hit for me the deep purple colour, the lustre, the blackcurrant scent what's not to love.

I was given my very first Lush Soap in a secret santa gift. I was wishing for this soap this xmas. When I opened my present I was so over the moon.

This soap was so strong I could smell it through the paper. It looks like a deep purple colour. It has this gold and silver shimmer in it. It looks like its glowing. The scent of it reminds me of deep blackberries with a hint of bubblegum.

When I use this, it lathers over my body easily. I like how my skin looks after Ive used it. I dont feel like my skins dried out from it. Theres no residue left behind from using it. I love how this scent is making my shower smell sweet.

My verdict is that you must try this soap. So far its my favourite. I love the texture and this scent. I brought more in the Boxing day sale and I cant wait for it to arrieve to me. I dont think its over priced at all. Its definately worth giving this soap a try.

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!

I bought this soap at the Boxing Day sale with lots of other Lush products.

It was a dark purple shade with a white reindeer on it, however after sitting on my duchess for nearly 8 months, the reindeer was long gone by the time I put it in the bath!

The soap itself is a square bar, and easy to handle.

The scent? wow! fabulous! I can't really think of anything comparable, but it is a definite berry scent and smells edible.

It doesn't lather up heaps, but lathers a little and spreads a soap scented cream over my skin.

My skins feels soft and clean, and has a nice soft scent after using it.

I would most definitely buy this soap again and will have it on my list of great products for gifts for other people also.

I highly recommend it.

I purchased this off a Facebook Lush buy sell page. The reas on I purchased it was the fact it was limited edition/special edition? Comes out usually with the christmas collection. I'm glad I did because it is absolutely amazing!

This bar of soap reminds me of respect your elders but alot sweeter and alot more fruity. The dark purple bar leaves the skin feeling beautifully soft and moisturised. It lathers nicely under the water and is the perfect addition to any bath or shower. It doesn't dry the skin out, leaving that tight feeling. It does the complete opposite.

While it makes the perfect addition to any bath or sgower I do recommend taking it out and popping it under the sink as it goes really mushy and feels like a mused up banana if left where condensation can get to it.

I am yet to run out of this soap but I know it's one I would love to keep in my collection. It's a must try if you haven't already!

This soap makes me so happy! The fruity flavour is a ball, and it has sparkles! Definitely a soap which gets you into the Christmas spirit. The soap-y-ness itself is smooth and it lathers OK (not a huge amount but enough to make you feel the cleaner for it).

I managed to pick this beauty up on the boxing day sale along with loads of other soaps, this one I distinctively remember because It had a Such a lushious berry kind of scent to it, The soap rejuvenated my skin and made it feel really smooth and good.
