I was given my very first Lush Soap in a secret santa gift. I was wishing for this soap this xmas. When I opened my present I was so over the moon.
This soap was so strong I could smell it through the paper. It looks like a deep purple colour. It has this gold and silver shimmer in it. It looks like its glowing. The scent of it reminds me of deep blackberries with a hint of bubblegum.
When I use this, it lathers over my body easily. I like how my skin looks after Ive used it. I dont feel like my skins dried out from it. Theres no residue left behind from using it. I love how this scent is making my shower smell sweet.
My verdict is that you must try this soap. So far its my favourite. I love the texture and this scent. I brought more in the Boxing day sale and I cant wait for it to arrieve to me. I dont think its over priced at all. Its definately worth giving this soap a try.
I'm not a fan of soaps, I hate how messy they get and how they can dry my skin out so lump for a foaming hand soap that comes in a bottle over a bar for my sink areas for washing hands. I made a huge order from Lush when they released this year's Christmas editions and they popped in a huge chunk of this Reindeer Rock soap for free and now I'm kind of addicted to it.
Packaging wise, well if you know lush you know that they really don't do packaging aside from their branded wrapping paper that all the loose products are sent inside. This chunky slab of soap is pretty to look at with its deep blackcurrant shading and silver embedded sparkly reindeer on top. The smell is what has me hooked. It has a blackcurrant scent that makes me think of Ribena warmed up, or a blackcurrant licorice sweet I used to have back in England. It is additive I almost want to eat it.
It foams up really easy and the reside it leaves on the basin when you place it there is a brown sludge that never really hardens so it is easily washed away with no problems. I have only been using this as a hand soap in the bathroom but it hasn't dried out my skin or caused my hands to be irritated or crack. Will be getting another piece of this soap very soon as I am down to a sliver left and I need it...I need it!!!!
