Lush Miranda Soap Review

I was given a piece of this in Lush to try and finally got around to it pre-Xmas.

The one I have is a different colour to the pic above (mines bright yellow and orange with kiwifruit seeds) but the rest is the same.

The scent is classic Lush - divine on the product and in the shower, fades over the day, and isn't strong enough to clash with anything else I wear.

This is a citrussy smelling soap sweetened out with the kiwifruit, that lathers well and cleans without stripping skin. I keep my piece in the shower but only use it to wash my hands, and it's perfect there.

Like all Lush soaps it's a lovely scented, quality soap that's a little piece of luxury in the morning.

such a sensual soap to use, I got the chance to trial this product while travelling. I found the colours and look to be abit bland for my liking, not usually a product that catches my attention but I decided to give a go since im such a fan of the Lush range of handmade products.

I loved the fruity fragrance it had to it, very appealing to my senses. It did a good job in leaving my skin smooth and soft.

I took a bar of this with me on holiday. I love the colours of this product, so vibrant and happy, very yellow too, so yellow that I had to make sure the soap was dry after every use so then there wouldn't be a stream of yellow in soap dish at my aunts house after I had showered, it wasn't slimy, just very yellow. The fragrance was pleasant and fruity, it was a bit tame for my liking but my husband was happy with it and ended up using my soap too. It left my skin feeling smooth and clean like any decent soap should.

I got this soap because while I like Lush I prefer soaps without sodium laureth sulfate and this one was sulfate free and had a lot of oils in it. However the scent wasn't as fruity as I expected in fact is smelt a bit like a hint of kiwi and then stale something. But I still wanted to use it because Lush generally produces good soaps and because of the ingredients. This soap has glycerine, rapeseed oil,coconut oil and fresh kiwi fruit. It lathers up pretty well. I've been using it with a shower puff and it's okay but it's not outstanding. My skin is pretty sensitive and do have those red marks after I shower. But other than that it's okay. I don't think my skin feels any of the moisture from the oils in the bar. Luckily the scent doesn't linger on my skin and once I rinse the lather off and apply moisturizer the red marks go away. I will continue to use this soap up but I probably won't repurchase. It's not a bad product but just not for me.

After reading great reviews on Beauty review I planned to get Miranda, but I thought I would get a sample from worldofsooziewong knowing she was heading into Lush along with comforter. I was given a nice generous bar of it with the new formula. I wish I got to try the old one too so I could compare it.

Miranda is a lovely sunny bright yellow bar with a light minty shade of green marbelled through it. This formula is smooth with bits of kiwifruit seeds scattered through it giving a gentle exfoliating effect thats barely noticeable. This scent reminds me of sweet kiwifruit with tangy mandarins pulling together a scent thats a fresh ray of sunsine.

When this bar is sitting in wet conditions I notice it hasn't become slimy. Theres no colouring coming out of it like other bars Ive used. My one sample bar has lasted me over two weeks and is still going strong. Lush has made me fall deeply in love with their products. I enjoy the consistency and scents and knowing that its natural vegan is a great big tick for me. Without any doubt in my mind I would buy more of this soap and other products from Lush. I am yet to be disappointed from Lush.

Lush's Miranda soap is very eye catching with its lovely colours and smells good to.

The soap has quite a fruity scent and I could detect I think both orange and kiwi fruit in the scent.

One of the things this soap claims to do is have lots of vitamin C which makes it an appealing choice although I can't say I've noticed any differences.

Packaging-wise, its the standard Lush paper wrap.

I really like it and I think it makes a nice hand soap or gift because if its lovely colours.

I bought this soap on line from Lush, with some other products – because I LOVE Lush!! I love that this soap has lots of lovely oils in it.

Mine doesn’t look like the picture, and is completely light green, with a rectangular/wedge shape.

I love the smell, and love that it lingers in the bathroom and on my skin.

It lathers nicely, and I don’t find it drying, though my skin initially feels a little tight after using it, but find that it leaves my skin feeling soft and clean.

All I can say is YUM. Another product that lives up to the Lush reputation.

I purchased a 100gm piece of this kind of on a whim when I placed an online lush order. It was down to $4 and I thought why not?

This comes in just a basic clear plastic bag with a white printed out sticker displaying the weight and the name of the soap. It's definitely not flash, but lush never claim to be flash on packaging! I'm not sure how well the soap would survive long term in this packaging but it should be ok for a while.

My soap looked a bit different to the one pictured. It is actually mostly a pastel green. I does have a few coloured bit's in it as well. The beauty of lush's soaps are that they will all look slightly different as they are cut off a larger piece of soap. I think it looks pretty unique and if you had a few different pieces of unpackaged lush soap, it would be pretty easy to recognize this one.

I don't really know what I was expecting this to smell like, maybe citrus? When I first smelled it, I was delighted. It reminds me of fruity candy. It's super sweet but not sickly at all. I'm currently just using this as handsoap, I love how it leaves my hands fragranced for a good couple of hours after using it. I find this lathers up really well too. I also like how this doesn't seem to go all gross and squishy too. It has retained its harder texture.

I'll definitely buy this again in the future. I did go overboard in the lush sale so I don't need any soap for a while anyway! If you like sweet scents, I'd definitely recommend this one.

I have used this soap multiple times and it never lets me down. I love how it cleanses but doesn't dry out my skin. The smell is heavenly, and perfect to help invigorate you in the morning. It's a nice creamy soap, with clearer 'bubbles' of other colours throughout. I cut it into slices so it doesn't turn to mush in the shower, and so it's easier to use.
