NEW! Solid Shampoo Bar – LUSH review

Hello all 🙂

You all know I bought a fair bit of LUSH products in December / January. I didn’t show all I bought, but you’ll see it being reviewed bit by bit 😉 I’m going to have a ball !!! Today, after a few weeks of testing, I got the NEW! solid shampoo bar for you.

As you can see it’s a nice red bar with bits of cinnamon in it. The first time I smelled it, I hated it. Maybe because I had a killer migraine at the time. Now it smells heavenly to me. I love the smell of cinnamon and cloves. 😀 There is also some peppermint present, that makes me feel so refreshed in the morning.

This baby is not bigger than a hokey puck and weights in at 55 grams. I thought that it would be bigger. It seems so small comparing it to my huge bottle of shampoo. The bar should last you 60 to 80 washes, what is quite a lot for such a small bar. ^^

To not have to put the whole thing in the bathroom, I sliced mine in half. Wrapped and labeled the remaining half and put it away safely with my other treasured LUSH stuff 😉 You can buy a metal storage tin from lush to put your bar in, but I just took a little (pretty old-fashioned) plastic Tupperware container. I’ve been using my NEW! bar half for a couple of weeks now. It shrunk a bit, but it’s far from gone. 🙂 At the rate it’s disappearing, this half will last me at least a few more months. I tend to use it once or twice a week and use another shampoo in between.

When I wash my hair I rub the bar in my wet hands. As you can see, it lathers up pretty well. Then put the foam onto my hair and repeat until I have enough to clean my hair. I never ever rub the bar directly onto my hair. That takes to much product and then the bar doesn’t last as long. I wish LUSH would make a conditioner that smelled like their NEW! shampoo bar. That would just be perfect. The smell of the bar doesn’t linger in my hair 😦 BUMMER 😦 And there is the need to use conditioner after using the solid shampoo. I don’t mind that at all. To be honest, my hair is softer and has a nicer sheen to it when I use my NEW and then my regular conditioner, than when I use my normal shampoo and then the same conditioner. Like it works better with the solid shampoo, than with the liquid one. I do get better looking and a better quality of hair with my NEW! shampoo. It doesn’t itch, flakes or knots as it used to. ^^ I’m seriously considering switching completely to solid LUSH shampoos when I finish my liquid one 😀

You can buy the 55 gram NEW! solid shampoo bar online or at your favorite LUSH shop for £5.75 / €8.95 /$11.95.

Have you tried a LUSH solid shampoo yet?

Be Happy !!!
