Love : Lush Bohemian Soap

Hello!

I bet everyone's heating up this summer!

I know I am!

Recently, I went to a Lush store near my place and did a little shopping. ;)

I bought a few soap bars and some fizzies.

Donkey Oaty and the Blackberry Bath Bombs smell uh-mae-zing!

Today I'd like to review a refreshing soap I bought from Lush.

It's called the Bohemian soap.

Honestly, I was curious on how it'd smell like, as it's not called "Lemony Glaze" or something. It's called "Bohemian" instead, so it's like, what does bohemian even smell like?

I know this is out of hand, but I am a fan of bohemian dressing.

And as summer is here, mind as well smell like what I dress, right? Right? =)

As you can see, I got this for £3.48.

As the soap is sliced, you can see the inside contents of the soap. Prove of the natural ingredients. =D

Okay so here's what I think of the Bohemian soap :

This soap smells exactly like citrus fruits. Lemons, grapefruits, limes, whatever that brings out the tangy citrusy fragrance.

This is my first time using Lush soaps, however, is not my first time when it comes to Lush products. Previously, I had reviewed the Lush Bubblegum lip scrub which I so love. ;)

This soap does not melt easily with water, something I do not like. However, it does lather up a lot. It deeply cleanses my skin, making it feel squeeky clean after baths.

What I love about this soap :

- It smells fresh. Keeps me awake and alive during days where I'm tired or sad.

- It seriously cleanses. This soap is suitable for deep cleansing.

- I love how the citrusy fragrance lingers after the bath.

- As this soap does not melt easily, I can use this soap for a longer period of time.

What I do not like about this soap :

- It does not melt easily. Well, there's a good point and a bad point.

The good point is this soap will last for a longer time as it does not melt easily.

As for the bad point, I need to rub this over my skin over and over again to form lather. However, once doing this, there will be plenty of foam from this soap.

- It isn't moisturizing.

Yep, my skin cracks worst after bathing. I need more lotion. Pronto.

All in all, I love this soap. I will be purchasing this again, as this soap seriously does a good job in washing away all the oil and grime on my skin. However, I shall need to invest in a good body lotion so my skin would not crack.

As for the price, it is reasonable. Price varies from size and weight.

My overall rating : 6.5/10

Well, that's all for now.

XOXO

Love : Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub

Soo, today I would love to review a product raved by many bloggers and people around the world!
That's right. A Lush product. =)
To be honest, this is my first Lush product. I live in Malaysia, so there's no Lush here. I got this from a friend. =D
Before I start, let me introduce you to Lush. Lush is a fresh handmade cosmetics company based from the UK, and is distributed worldwide. Unfortunately, Malaysia is not one of those countries involved. I'm not sure if Singapore has Lush, but I know Australia has Lush. Lol.
When I received my Lush package via mail, I was honestly umm, I don't know how to describe this, but the smell that comes off once I opened the package is heavy. Yes, HEAVY. It has a strong smell. I got the Bubblegum lip scrub and the A Token To The Forest Gods toner tab. I must say, the smell that comes out the moment I open my package is not pleasant. No wonder my best pal from Aussie says Lush stores smell funky. LOL! Anyway.
This is the Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub. Oh my. This smells uh-mae-zing! I can tell you I love this product. Reminds me of Hershey's Bubble Yum Bubblegum in Original. Basically, this product smells like bubblegum. =)

Cute and simple packaging; I love!
Ingredients list. Guess what! Its VEGAN! Good for you! ;)
Instructions and yes, its made in England.
The expiry date at the bottom of the glass jar. =)

Curious on what's inside?

Sugar love!

So yes, its made entirely of sugar so I'll have to say the price is expensive for a sugar lip scrub.
In case you're wondering about the price, it's a £4.50. So if you convert it to ringgit, it will cost you RM22.50 for a jar of this. So yes, it's expensive judging that it's made entirely of castor sugar and flavoring and jojoba oil.
So here's my rating :
Packaging : 5/5 stars.
I love simple, informative yet classy packaging. This packaging comes in a glass jar, and it's pretty. =)
Colour : does not matter.
LOL! Cos once you applied it on your lips, you are either going to lick it off, or wash it out. So yes. Pretty colour though I must say.
Quality : 5/5 stars.
Yes, this lip scrub is of good quality, though I'll have to say its expensive. It really does make my lips softer and smoother. It also scrubs off the dead skin cells on the layer of my lips off effectively. However, its just as good as homemade lip scrubs. (Stay tuned for that)
Price : 2/5 stars.
It's expensive to me, cos sugar's like a few cents, or a few ringgits per pack. And that's like a lot of sugar. This one on the other hand, its like RM22.50 for small jar of sugar. I would not say I will not repurchase this. In fact, I will repurchase this. Tell you why later.
Would I repurchase : Yes!
Although it's expensive, I will repurchase this. BUT, not when I'm in Malaysia. As I might leave for the UK next year, I will repurchase this as I would not have time in making sugar scrubs. This is because I would be busy with university and other things in life. So yeah.
If you are wondering, what's gonna happen to my lips while I'm here. Well, I make my own lip scrubs. I mean, if I can make them here since I have slightly more time, why purchase them for RM22.50 when I can do one for myself for like maybe less than RM10? Right? Right?
Overall, I love this product! Very much. LOL.
Here is my lips before the scrub. (Warning : It's dark and ugly here I don't know why)
With the Bubblegum Lip Scrub :
After the lip scrub. With added lip balm. Lol. I used Maybelline's [LIP] Smooth Botanicals. =)

I hope this review helps.

Do leave a comment if you have any questions.
Stay tuned for my DIY Lip scrub recipe. LOL!
