Update: this product is being rereleased for the 2011 holiday season!
What it does:
For the softest, creamiest, most luxurious suds imaginable, grab a great big slice of Snowcake and float away on a cloud of almond marzipan and rose absolute. Snowcake smells exactly like our Smitten hand cream, and is an all time holiday favourite among staff and customers alike. It softens and cleans your body and scents it with a long-lasting almond fragrance.
(from lush.com)
Price: 2.60 GBP/100g in the UK, 6.95 USD/3.5 oz in the US, 650 JPY/100g in Japan.
Update: the updated prices for the 2011 holiday season are 2.95 GBP/100g in the UK and $7.95/3.3 oz in the US
Scent: it really does smell like almond marzipan and rose absolute, as Lush says. I haven't tried Smitten hand cream, so I cannot do a comparison to that.
Pros:
- Good lather
- Not harsh, and cleans well
- I personally enjoy the smell during the winter
Cons:
- I'm not quite sure why people love this product so much that they hoard it. I personally like the Honey I Washed the Kids soap better, which is a permanent product.
Would I repurchase? maybe. I liked it enough that I would probably pick up a bar next holiday season, but I wouldn't buy it repeatedly if it were a permanent product.
I have reviewed this item, even though it is no longer available on Lush's website, because they may be repromoted in the future.

i've never tried lush! lol i walked into a store in NY once and they seemed pissed off when i wasn't interested in this bubble bath that they were forcing me to look at.. bad customer service for my first time and i haven't gone back since..
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Lush in forever! I need to see if they have some of their valentine's day items in! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm shade 007-008 in revlon photoready. I'm kind of dark. haha. :)
I'm loving all of your Lush reviews. Thanks for doing them.
ReplyDeleteI like your new layout! How do you like this new comment system?
*Kat*
Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I've had great customer service most of the times I've been to Lush. I've had a few weird people who wanted to force things on me, but they stepped back once I told them I wanted to browse by myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know. What's your MAC shade?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have a bunch of the holiday reviews coming up for the rest of this month. I feel so bad that they are late, but I really couldn't do them while I was still living in a hotel!
ReplyDeleteI like that I can comment back to people on Disqus. It's a little confusing, though!
I gotta say that I love this soap. Looking at the holiday collection... if I hoarded anything, it'd be this. Or angel's delight.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a coincidence. My Angel's Delight review is coming up!
ReplyDeletesnowcake... how cute! maybe next holiday i'll give it a try. thanks for your review.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! I tried this a while ago and it did not have any smell at all! Bad bad for being LUSH!!!
ReplyDeleteLove from a new follower,
