Review: Lush Snowcake Soap



One of Lush's big Christmas bestsellers is Snowcake soap. After reading so many raves about it, I had to snag a slice to try for myself!

Snowcake's scent is a light blend of marzipan and rose. It's a lovely, feminine scent that is especially nice if you like something more on the subtle side. I personally prefer fragrances with a bit more "oomph" to them, so while this isn't one of my all-time favorite Lush aromas, I still like it!

But what really endeared me to Snowcake is its soft, creamy consistency and its rich lather. Lush's soaps generally fall into two categories: glycerine-based soaps that don't lather much but leave you feeling squeaky clean and softer soaps that produce more lather. Snowcake definitely falls into the latter group. It leaves my skin feeling clean, soft and smooth, making it an excellent winter soap--convenient considering that you can only buy Snowcake during the holiday season. So whether you're a curious newbie or a Snowcake fanatic stocking up for the months ahead, time is running out to pick this one up!

Have you tried Snowcake? What's your favorite Lush holiday scent?

    1. I really like their holiday line-up this year! It's a good mix of old favorites and fun new stuff.

  2. Oh my gosh, I love this soap. It's definitely one of my top favorites from the brand. I just finished a small bar of it, now I have another one to use. I'm always so impressed with how creamy it is. I really do like the scent too, I just wish it would last longer. I actually have a sample of perfume from a bath and body etailer that is supposed to smell just like this soap and it really does! I love it.

    1. It is amazingly creamy! Like you, I do wish the scent had a bit more staying power to it. I think this would work fabulously as a perfume! It's such a sophisticated, feminine scent. That's awesome that it was such a spot-on match too. I see a lot of bath and body etailers that have fragrances marketed as being a match for popular scents but I'm never sure how close they'll actually be.

    1. Mine is nearing the end too. I went to Lush today and successfully held off on buying anymore soap though. I already have so many different bars to try, yet I still want more! :)
