Lush Review: ♡Honey, I washed the kids & Porridge soaps!♡

I think my little obsession with Lush is growing and I think I have my best friend now hooked too! haha she made fun of me for loving the mask i bought saying "wow its so expensive for something like that" and  it really wasnt, (but this isnt a mask review) and now she is going and buying her own stuff.

So let the review begin! My best friend and i went to the mall to the lush store and we were surprised when the girls that worked there told us "hello welcome! We're having our once a year sale!"
this was our reaction:


So, I wasn't planning on buying anything, since I was there purely for my friend. But after hearing soaps with a blue sticker were 50% off I decided to get a 2 soaps I've been dying to have. I wanted more but I didn't have enough money for it and I might go back for more if the sale is still going...(because i have the money now) ANYWAY BACK TO THE REVIEW! Here is what I bought:





Honey, I washed the kids:

So I bought a massive chunk of "Honey, I Washed the Kids" which normally would have cost $25.70 but I got it 50% off so it ended up being $12.35. This soap doesn't really smell like pure honey, because if it did I probably wouldn't have been too interested in it. (I'm not a huge fan of the way honey smells) But, this soap seems to smell lightly of honey and like...hmm not vanilla but I some sort of yummy candy. Its not a super sweet smell either..Its delicious. I love it. It has some sort of wash bottom shaped like a honey comb. I think its to exfoliate.
The soap cleans very well, for some reason I thought it wouldn't, and it lathers really well. I thought it would leave my skin too squeaky clean since it is a soap and soaps are usually very drying. But this soap left me moisturized. I love the scent it leaves on the skin since it isn't strong or irritating. I love this soap and I will re-purchase once I'm done. However this isn't my favorite one out of the two, the next one it!


Porridge:

Wow. That all I have to say about this soap. I absolutely love it! I got a pretty decent chunk of soap that would have been $16.85 but I got it for $8.43. This was to me, the best smelling soap that lush has. I'm not one for super sweet or floral smelling anything. This soap is perfect is you hate scents like that. Its sweet but not overbearing. It smells like oatmeal and molasses cookies. Its amazing! The exfoliators in this are little oat grains. It gently exfoliates your skin to take off dead skin cells. So if you need a nice gentle exfoliator this is the soap you should be looking at. :)
The soap laters so much its ridiculous. Its super cream lather, too. I love it and I love smelling like a cookie after. It cleans really well and its exfoliates so nicely. The oats come off of the soap as you use it so don't freak out. I don't the I can emphasis the fact that I love this soap. Check this on out when you're at the store or ordering online.

Sample Sugar Scrub:

So they gave me a sample of their Sugar Scrub. It looks like half of a bath bomb. They gave me the ginger and fennel scrub. I like it. Its super awesome if you have very dry rough skin in some areas. My elbows aren't exactly super smooth, but now they are :) I was excited about this because it works so well.  But, when i woke up in the morning and looked at my shower most of it was melted and dripping down the wall of my shower. Surprised, I researched it up to see if anyone else had this problem. Apparently, its notorious for doing this sort of thing so its suggested to break off a piece and use it in the shower or mix it with another liquid soap. I didnt know about this and was pretty disappointed by this. But then again it is sugar and water..DUH it melts. I too excited to think, haha. So i think i will pick this product up next time as well but I will definitely keep it better now that I know what to do.


Until my next post, ありがとうございます! (´∀`)V
