Blogmas Day 10 - Lush North Pole Soap Review


A little Lush review for you all today, a nice seasonal one. I purchased this soap about a month ago and have been using it along with my Avon shower gel which I mentioned in my November favourites post. I love Lush at Christmas time because they always get such nice products in so I was pleased to try out a new soap as  they're usually my favourite thing!



There are two different types of North Pole soap, a white one and a pink one. I had a sniff at both in the shop and I have to say, I couldn't really smell anything from the pink one. I don't know if it was just me and maybe my nose was blocked from having the cold nearly all month, but it just smelt like soap to me! Is it just me, or did anyone else find this too? I went with the white one anyway because it had a lovely mint smell to it.

Pros :

  • Minty, clean smell. Like peppermint!
  • Creamy texture which feels like it's really making you clean
  • Long lasting
Cons :
  • No smell to the pink version
Has anyone tried any of the Lush seasonal soaps? Which was your favourite?

Coming soon - New Lush Product Reviews!

Just letting you all know that my next reviews from Lush will be on the Full of Grace Moisturiser Bar, and the Oatifix Fresh Face Mask. I've been using Full of Grace for a while now so I have an opinion on it already, and I recently got a sample of Oatifix to see how it reacts to my skin before I buy a full size version. I've read that it's good to put this particular moisturiser on below the face mask which is why I plan to review them both soon, so that I can let you know how they work together as well.

Watch this space!

Coming soon - Lush review on the Jungle solid conditioner bar

Last week I purchased the Jungle conditioner bar to try out. I hadn't known that they had a solid conditioner bar so as soon as I saw online that they did, I knew I had to try it. I used it for the first time tonight and so far, so good. Will put a review up in the next few days after I see what it's like properly.

Lush - Tea Tree Toner Tabs Review



I've been using these for a few months now and find they work really well. I had bought one a few years ago and tried it once and then forgot about it. Since I've got really into my Lush products over the past few months I decided to give them a go again. After buying one again, I've since bought a few each time I go in so that I have enough to do me until my next trip.

They're really simple to use, and the people in Lush will explain to you what to do if you're unsure. Firstly I boil the kettle and bring it to the sink. If there is hot water already I will fill part of the sink with that water and then top it up with the freshly boiled water. If not, then I'll just fill the whole sink with the kettle of water. I'll fill it up until it's about half full. Next I'll drop the Tea Tree Toner Tab into the water and let it fizz around until it's completely dissolved. I'll have a towel waiting for me to cover my head and the taps so that the steam won't escape from the sink. I'll then lean my face right over the water, keeping it as close as possible so that all the steam hits my face. I'll set a timer on my phone for 5 minutes and sit there until it's done. The steam is really hot and can be slightly unbearable, but you should keep sitting there as it starts to cool down quite fast. After the timer goes off, I sit up, and using some cotton pads that I will have left sitting beside the sink, I dip them into the water and clean my face and neck with the tea tree water that is left. This removes all the dirt from your skin as the steam has opened up all your pores. The first time I used one I couldn't believe the amount of make up that there was still left on my skin after cleaning it, and since then it's never been the same as I always make sure my skin is completely clean at night.

After using, my skin feels super soft and smooth and I love the clean feeling that it gives me. If I have any spots and use this, the next morning when I wake up I can see that they have started to fade.

What I like about the toner tab is that it can be used on more than one person. My two sisters share it with me when I'm finished. We'll reboil the kettle, and once I'm done, just top up the water again to create steam and then they will sit there for 5 minutes each and clean their face. I've also heard that you can reuse the water if you put it into a spray bottle and simply spray it on to your face each night as a toner.

Pros :

  • Inexpensive, only 80p per toner tab.
  • Works on more than one person.
  • Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.
  • Helps clear up spots.
Cons :

  • None!
All in all, definitely worth a try since they're only 80p each, so it's not really a waste of money if you feel it doesn't work.
