Lush Pearl Massage Bar Review

I'm mildly obsessed with Rose Jam shower gel so I knew without a doubt that this was a massage bar I had to have. I loved how moisturised it made my skin feel and the lingering sweet rosy scent that I continued to get whiffs of throughout the day.. I was in love!! Unfortunately that love wasn't meant to last. The addition of tapioca pearls, while beautiful, were scratchy and irritating to the skin. I also found that once I was about 2/3 through the bar that it began to fall apart due to the tapioca pearls. I really hope Lush brings this back without the addition of the pearls, I think it would become a staple in my daily life then.

A friend of mine told me that this massage bar had the same fragrance as Rose Jam and being a massive Rose Jam fan I had to try it.

It is a very pretty massage bar and quite different to their other massage bars in their range. It is a white/cream colour with beaufitul pink beads that are designed to really give you a deep and exfoliating massage.

The scent is WOWSERS and definitely Rose Jam scented, feel a bit silly for ever doubting it was. It smells amazing. Its a nice sweet scent of rose but not overpowering. I'm not a huge fan of Rose but love this. I wouldn't say it was 100% Rose Jam scented but it is pretty close as I think they have added a couple of extras in there which give it a slightly different scent.

Ease of use is pretty good. I'm fussy with massage bars and they have to be able to be held easily and not slippery when it has reached room temperature. This is a tad greasy so you will need to wipe your hands after each use.

Is it moisturising? Yes and nicely so. I apply mine at night as it helps me sleep and my skin feels nice and hydrated the next day.

Reason I gave it a 4/5 rating was because the pink pearly balls are super sharp and ended up cutting me. I had to remove them so I could use the massage bar. Have no idea what the reasoning behind putting something so sharp in it was.

Would I recommend and buy it again? Most definitely, its a great price, lasts for ages and makes me smell nice and feel super relaxed while at the same time hydrating my skin.

A few weeks ago I went into Lush to search for some massage bars. Their massage bars are the only thing that doesn't make my partners skin breakout in a rash. We've tried oils and creams but he can't use it. I thought I would try something different.

One bar is shaped oval. I was quite surprised with the thickness of the bar , it was thinner than I thought. It wasn't chunky like the strawberry one I tried. Inside of this bar is these stones. Their not all smooth . Some are sharp with jagged edges. The scent of this bar is A+ gorgeous Rosey scent. Not smokey like the shower gel.

First application this bar takes a while to warm to the skin. It slowly melts and instantly I can smell this fragrant aroma of Roses. But I noticed the sharp beads were rough against the skin. So I decided to break the bar up , hand pick all the jagged stones out of this bar . After doing this it made it so much more pleasant to use.

Out of one bar I managed to get four 30 minute body massages. It is quite pricey for one bar. I would like Lush to change those beads into something softer for the skin. Loved the scent . I wouldn't purchase again because it seemed very tidious.

I have I tried a few massage bars from Lush but this is my fave out of all the scents. I love the scent of the Rose Jam but I really wanted a product that would leave me smelling like that since when I use the shower gel the scent doesn't seem to linger. It's like Lush heard my desire for the scent and created a massage bar. This bar smells rose jam licious. If you love the scent of rose jam you'll love how this smells. The bar is made with cocoa and shea butter, glycerin, argan and a bit of coconut oil and of course rose essential oils to give it that amazing scent. The butters and oils in the bar smooths nicely on to my skin but of course if the bar is cold it won't transfer on to your skin much. You massage it in and the scent just lingers on your skin for hours even the next day there are still hints of powdery rose on my skin. If you put a bathrobe after applying on you'll smell rose jam on it the next day. There is just one con about this bar and that's the bright pink sago beads. For the first few uses they don't seem a big deal but then as you use the bar a few more times and it gets thinner you find they are sharp, scratchy and can stain things. In fact they make the bar more likely to break in pieces because those bits don't melt and the massageable butters and the bar gets thin around those pieces you're left with oils and sharp bits to moisturize and massage your skin with. To give you an idea of how sharp, imagine the coarsest sugar or salt you can find and that it doesn't dissolve as you rub your skin. I honestly think this bar could've been one of Lush's bestselling massage bars but I fail to see the logic of putting sharp bits of bright pink, does nothing for your skin beads. It does make the bar look decorated but that's it. And I think rose petals or ground rose petals could've been used instead and look gorgeous or an embossed or raised design on the bar much like the Yes Yes Yes bar would've been sufficient. My skin is tan so any pink doesn't show up much on my skin but it did temporarily stain my bathtub. I think if it weren't for the fact that my siblings like taking hot baths and that the hot water helped loosen the dye from the surface of the tub, the tub would be still stained. I was really lucky I got this bar half price since I only got a few uses out of it before it got really scratchy, because I love the smell. But because of the beads I'm definitely sure I'm not going to repurchase this, even if it was discounted. I'm not even sure if I am going to use this up just because trying to pick the tiny sharp bits out of the butters that melted in your hands so you can massage your skin is a tedious process and like trying to pick out little bits of broken glass. And I wouldn't give anyone a massage with this bar. The little bits stick to my skin and rub on to my clothes and sheets and rub me the wrong way.
