Lush Review: Product Number Nine: Lemslip Buttercream

Product: Lemslip Buttercream.
Price: Depends on how much you want, they cut from a large bar and package and price by size. In the shop it was $7 something for every 1/4 lb. Online it is $15 for 7oz, $7.50 for 3.5 oz. Mine, it was .26lbs, and I paid $9.10. But prices vary from as low as like $7.50 or whatever to 15 bucks I think! Wide range.
Vegan?: Yes.
Note: Product MAY melt!
Online Description: Fresh lemon and lime cream to transform spotty and oily skin.
Review: When I smelled this bar in the store, I fell in love with it immediately. I didn't even know what it was at first and I wanted it! When the clerk explained to me what it was, it was perfect. The smell is just so happy, citrusy, and uplifting. The bar may smell a little strong for some, but I promise you, it does not smell that strong on your hands when you're done! This stuff, in a nutshell, is soap! But see, most soap is mostly soap and a little fragrance added. With buttercream bars, less than half of the bar is soap, the rest is buttercream, essential oils, fragrances, and other yummy things for your skin! The clerk warned me there would not be a lot of lather coming from it, since it is less soap in it, it's just meant for a little lather, and a whole lotta goodness! When I used it, I tried to use warm water, but be careful, warm water may melt the bar too much. But the warm water, I felt, would help it lather a bit more. So I wet my hands and the bar and rubbed the bar all over my hands. After, I rubbed my hands together and the clerk was right, definitely not as much lather as other soaps, but you know what, that's okay, it's still doing its job! Of course right away you catch the lovely lemony scent, it's so great. After I was all lathered up, I rinsed off the residue, and let me tell you, my hands felt so different. I almost thought I didn't wash it all off at first, but then, I realized, that was the softness of my hands! So, I dried my hands and enjoyed the softness I am left with and the pleasant smell as well. As promised, the scent left on your hands is not as strong. Just a faint pleasant smell, or at least that's how I feel. By the way, don't be afraid to use this in the shower, you can use it for that too! I don't recommend leaving it IN the shower though, it'll probably melt a lot. But, I could recommend for you to find a small dish, and just place it on that, in the bathroom, near a sink or something!
This is the little box the product came in, above.
