Lush Charity Pot Body Lotion Review

I recently went to Lush and was recommended this product for the dry skin on my legs but after trying it I'm a bit disappointed. I wasn't a fan of the scent, which was quite strong and lingered on the skin. The lotion was very thick, making it difficult to apply evenly over a large area. I also felt like it didn't absorb very well and instead stayed on the surface of the skin. Overall I prefer some of their other moisturisers.

I hate to knock anything that is raising money for charity, but this product just didn't win my affection. However, I am very grateful that Lush do generously-sized samples, so I was able to give it a good shot before committing to purchasing a pot.

In terms of packaging, Lush is great. They encourage you to return empty pots to the store, but they are such sturdy pots I usually end up reusing them in the bathroom for jobs such as my lipstick holder!

In terms of the actual product, it is very rich, as promised, but so much so that my legs still felt a little slimy in the morning. Usually I'm more of a body oil person (oily at first, but doesn't sit on the skin), so I didn't enjoy this sensation. Further, the smell was very strong and, while not unpleasant, I found it made me feel a little queasy if I didn't wash it off my hands (which is a pity, because they need the moisture!).

However, if you like heavy body butter type moisturisers and you're good with scented products, this is an awesome way to support the great charity work Lush does.

I love body lotions I aways have a few on them on the go . For different times of the day. I got a small sized pot to give this a try.

There’s Nothing special about Lush packaging . Consistency is creamy rich and oily. Feels nourishing to my skin . It reminds me of a musky warm scent . It’s inviting. I like to use this all over my body . Soaks into my skin slowly . Does leave oily residue, be careful with it.

After trying this I would repurchase again as a gift for a family member and myself. I’m not sure if lush still sells it . But if they do it’s a goodie if your into this kind of scent and consistency.

When I was last in my Lush store, I spotted this. As someone that has dry skin, I'm always looking out for new moisturisers and so when I saw this I quickly grabbed one. I loved that the majority of the money was going into organisations and I'll readily admit that was the point that pushed me to purchase this.

The packaging is the standard Lush pot. On the lid of the one I chose, it had a sticker with a charity that the proceeds of my purchase went towards. The one I chose was for race horses that could no longer race. Being a horse lover, and involved in the raving industry, this was a charity that spoke to me.

As well as being happy that this product benefitted someone aside from myself, I instantly fell in love with this. The product is a creamy off white and has a slight smell of coconut. It smelled delicious (as Lush always does!). Most importantly, this was super moisturising on my dehydrated skin and after using this on my legs for a few days, they started looking fresh and healthy, thanks Lush!

This didn't leave a nasty residue, although it did leave my skin feeling packed full of moisture. The scent lingered slightly on my skin (which I enjoyed). It wasn't difficult to blend into my skin and my skin drank it up.

When I run out of my current moisturiser, I will absolutely repurchase this. It's a gorgeous product and is helping others. I love this and I love Lush. Definitely recommend it!

I was given this as a gift, and felt very spoilt using it.

The texture of the cream is thick and velvety, it is very easy to smooth into your skin, and leaves it feeling very moisturised. There is no greasy residue, just soft velvety smooth skin.

The fragrance is subtle and delicious, it stays on your skin for quite some time and is really very nice.

There is nothing about this product that I didn't like, I will certainly purchase more when mine runs out, and would buy it as gifts for others.

Feels very luxurious, beautiful to use.

I absolutely love Lush products. I usually pick up something every time I go into the store (hence I have stayed away for a while). At one point in time I picked up a wee 10g pot of the Charity Pot Body Lotion. Fantastic wee size to keep in my purse or to take on a plane with you. I love that the proceeds go towards charity so it is a fantastic thing to pick up when you are there. I believe at the time I picked this up the charity was something animal based which I am always happy to support.

The cream itself is really nice. A wee bit like a thicker lotion so you know that it is going to be extra moisturising. It smells lovely with a bit of a cocoa or shea butter scent, maybe a touch of coconut too. Nothing too strong or annoying. This is really nice to smooth over the skin. It does leave a bit of a film or tacky-ness for a wee while after the initial part has sunk in but overall it works quite well. The film goes away after a wee bit (5 - 10 minutes), I'm just quite impatient as I'm not really a big fan of body lotions. This made my skin feel plump and hydrated and those effects lasted quite some time which was great.

If you have super dehydrated skin I think that this would be a fantastic addition to your collection, with the added bonus of the funds going to charity it really makes it a great purchase.

I picked up a small one of these when I was on holiday - it was a great size to fit in my bag. I'm so glad that I did - this lotion is incredible.

The texture is fairly light - it's easy to smooth on and you can almost immediately feel it working. It's so light that you don't end up with that weighted feel that you can get from moisturisers, especially when it's humid or hot.

The scent is not something that I'd normally have picked for myself (I'm a vanilla/coconut girl) but I really quickly grew to love it - it's a bit spicy and exotic smelling and I find that it really compliments my perfume rather than overpowering it.

I loved this so much that I bought one of the big pots when I got back to NZ. I love that not only do 100% of the price go to charity, you get to pick the charity! I picked an animal charity, but there are a lot to choose from.

I absolutely recommend this lotion, it's like heaven in a jar :)

This is one of my favourite lush lotions. The scent is gorgeous and i think it smells similar to cocoa. The texture is between thick and thin which is great. When I put it on my skin my dryness instantly went away. The moisteriser kept my skin soft for the whole day (no need to reapply!) All and all I would recommend
