Lush Reindeer Rock Review

A little red nose is all this is missing (ok my bar was also missing the full reindeer but I digress).

Cassis (blackcurrent) is a top note of the scent in this soap and it is a subtle rush of sweet fruitiness that tickles at the nose whilst lathering up as a regular soap does. The soap shimmers away when wet with little star-like flecks hidden inside the galaxy that is the Reindeer Rock soap.

I was lucky enough to be sent a sample of this (I had already purchased a full size in my previous Lush order but not yet used it) so I embarked on trying the sample first in case I needed to gift the full size if it wasn't to my liking... I will acknowledge that this is going no where and will be a regular feature in my Lush Christmas shopping (sorry to my hubby and my bank balance)

The silver reindeer that was partially on my sample washed away very quickly so I wasn't as saddened by the missing one on my full size bar, and the sample lasted over a week in the shower so I reckon it is great value for money. The Lingonberry in it is meant to help with skin elasticity and whilst I haven't been using this for much longer than a week I think I can see a slight improvement already in my stomach region (post two kiddies).

I love the back story of this soap too and how they have based the reindeer carving in the soap off ancient Scandinavian rock carvings... and it is so cute too.

I was lucky enough to have this product popped in with an online order I made from lush (lucky me)! I have never used their soaps before so was a little hesitant but I just loved the scent.

It has a lovely berry scent that is not too overpowering or sickly sweet - rather juicy, fresh and Christmas-y. I am actually quite impressed with Lush soaps; I am normally a shower gel person as I don't like the often dry feel of soaps. This soap is slippery and doesn't feel dry to apply (or wash off). A little seems to go a long way and my small slice seems to be lasting me quite a while. Lastly, the silver reindeer is just adorable! I really do love Lush!

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.

I really love this soap especially the beautiful picture of the Reindeer on the top, really reminds me of Christmas. It has a nice fruity type smell to it and is a really generous size too. It doesn't lather up as much as I would like it to, but in some respect its not such a bad thing because it makes it last longer. The only down side to this soap is that it isn't really moisturising for my dry skin. It actually leaves it feeling quite dry and have to double dose on the moisturiser. Other than that, its a great soap and would definitely make a great present or stocking stuffer especially for the kiddie winkles.

I recently started trying out the Lush Reindeer Rock Soap, and have quite mixed feelings about it so far. Although the scent is AMAZING (it made my bathroom cupboard smell incredible for weeks), I've found that since I've actually opened the package it was in and been using it as a soap the scent has dissipated somewhat. I also have found that although it is very smooth and silky to use, it is quite hard to lather up properly in my hands. I do think it is super pretty, however - nothing beats a gorgeous colour and sparkles in a soap! Might not be repurchasing however, since it didn't do much for me practically.

I bought a 100 gram block of this soap in the lush sale that they held after Christmas. I'd never tried it or even smelled it instore so I wasn't sure what to expect but it sounded interesting and I wanted to give it a go.

This comes packaged in a see through plastic bag with just a printout of what it is. Nothing fancy but it does the trick. The soap itself is a dark purple. I didn't get any reindeers on my piece. Lush make their soaps in big pieces and then cut them off so it makes each piece a bit different which is quite cool.

The scent of this is really interesting and even though I've been using it for about a week, I still can't really pinpoint what it reminds me of. It smells a little bit like red licorice, it's quite sweet but it has a little something extra like a herbal kind of scent. I don't really know. It's not my most fave scent from lush but I don't hate it. It also lingers for a while after I wash my hands, which I like.

I find this lathers up pretty well and so far it hasn't turned into a squishy mess.

I wouldn't rush out to get this soap but I'd possibly get this again if it was on sale. I assume it only comes out at Christmas time, but I'm only a new lush addict so I could be wrong.
