How to Use

Now, since I've never really gotten into LUSH and their products until recently, I was unaware of a little preparation that has to go into using the soap. I thought I could just leave the giant brick I got in my shower and it would be fine. I was wrong. The soap began to melt until I learned that you had to cut the soap and use a bit at a time. Luckily, I was able to save the soap before it melted away.

I will be doing a detailed post later about cutting and preparing LUSH soaps for your showers, but in the meantime, I'll just say slice your soap with a knife.

Once you've cut it up into decent sized shaped, use the soap as you would normally :)

Overall...

I love this scent, however I know that not everyone will. I had some of my friends smell the soap, and they hated the overpowering sweetness of it. 

If you love the scent as much as I do, you'll love the results even more. This soap delivers when it comes to giving moisture. My skin felt so soft, and smelled so sweet after using this soap.  

Besides the problem with cutting the soap (oops :$), this product will last and last for me. The lathering from this product is just excellent. Thank god it's long lasting since, once again, one of my favourites is seasonal.

As long as you love strong, sweet smells, I would recommend this to anyone with dry skin.
