Snow Globe is one of Lush's Christmas soaps and this was another treat that my flatmate bought for me. I've seen it in store and by chance had taken a photo so I thought I'd include it so you know what to look out for because my particular block of soap isn't as exciting as the display looks!

| Lush's Snow Globe Soap 100g, £2.95* |
My block looks a lot duller in all the photos that I've taken of it than it does in real life. It is a lovely green-blue colour and has a very refreshing lemongrass scent which you just don't initially expect as the colour of it (for me anyway) is so strongly associated with mint. I really like it though, I think it smells really entrancing- you don't really want to stop sniffing it once you start. It's definitely a soap made for the morning as it is quite citrus-y and that 'zing' is lovely and invigorating. My only gripe with this particular soap is that it doesn't foam up as well as some of the other Lush Soaps I've tried and it isn't particularly moisturising. The moisturising aspect is more a personal problem that I have with it, as especially during this time of year I need any extra moisturisation I can get.
Overall though, the quality of this soap is great and the scent is perfect for people who like lemongrass or citrus. I personally wouldn't repurchase this for myself but I would buy it as a gift for someone if I knew they liked this sort of scent as (despite its lack lustre appearance in my photo- sorry!) it's a lovely, bright (unisex) shade and for some of us *cough* me *cough* prettiness can make up for certain small flaws.

The only one of the christmas products I;ve tried so far from Lush is much-blogged-about Snow Fairy, and it smells blinking delicious, but would love to try some of the others!
ReplyDeleteI've smelt Snow Fairy and it is just so lovely! I've asked for some for Christmas :) xx
DeleteOoh I love citrus scents! And the name of this soap is so lovely and Christmassy! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely and fresh! And I love the name too :) xx
DeleteI love citrus scents! Maybe I'll try a chunk, but probably I'll buy it and put it a side for summer. In this cold month I prefer something sweet and cozy, like the Sultana soap or Honey I washed the Kids.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!
I'll be very happy if you stop by to see mine:
