Lush Snowcake Christmas Soap

SNOW CAKE SOAP FROM LUSH Lush has this tagline for Snow Cake soap: “Snowbody does it better Makes me feel sad for the rest” I don’t think I have actually reviewed a Lush soap before despite reviewing many of their other products. I do usually have soap on the go even though I do use a lot of their jellies and bath and shower gels sometimes I just fancy a change. If you have never had the pleasure of going into an actual Lush shop you have missed a real treat. The soaps are their biggest window dressing as they are made in huge trickles a bit like cheese. They then cut off chunks and wrap them ... more

Well I have done a few Lush reviews now and I am about to do a few more. I have just had a lovely selection of Lush products delivered by Santa and they were all so lovely that I couldn't wait to review them for all you lovely people. I won't go in to all the details of the very ethical company Lush. I have done so in other reviews, (as have many other distinguished Ciao authors), and you can find out everything you need by going to www.lush.com. I will, however, mention their fabulous sister site at www.bnevertoobusytobebeautiful.com. They make wonderful cosmetics, fragrances and toiletries ... more

OK, this is my first attempt at a Lush opinion, and I'm aware that I'm in the company of great writers who have gone before. None of which have written about this marvellous soap yet, though, so I'm on *fairly* safe ground there! A few weeks back I was feeling particularly *bleuch* as they say, in need of a bit of a pick-me-up, and really fancied a bit of a spend-up in the local Lush shop after work. Previously we have used the Lush mail order service, but on this occasion I fancied having a bit of a sniff of the products first. One of the products I liked the smell of was Snowcake Christmas ... more

Deeper into my Lush grab bag I delved (an amazing special offer they ran last week - spend £15 and get £50 worth of stuff - actually more like £70 when I added it up!) and came across yet another bar of Snowcake soap. In total between the two grab bags I bought, I ended up with five bars of the stuff, in gift sets or alone. Five bars. I had sniffed the soap once at my mum's and didn't think much to it, and here I was with a veritable crapload of it. Strangely, having had my Lush bags sitting around my bedroom for a few days, I seemed to have got used to the smell. Using my Smitten hand cream ... more

I took advantage of the post-Christmas Lush sale to order many products from the store’s website! A soap I’d been dying to try was Snowcake, an almond-scented festive soap with the same smell as Smitten handcream. I bought a little gift set, and inside was a star-shaped piece of Snowcake soap. Snowcake has been brought back at Christmas time year after year, so it’s obviously popular. ***What is Lush?*** Lush is a store that makes toiletries and cosmetics, using natural and organic ingredients where possible and minimising packaging where they can. It started out as a mail order company called ... more
