Lush Reindeer Rock Review

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 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.

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!

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.

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 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.
