Smells absolutely wonderful, but it's not the best soap ever.

a LUSH addict, into trying new things, love foody scented products, willing to pay for quality

Pros

leaves no residue on my skin, mild, smells amazing, cleanses well

Cons

doesn't hydrate or soften skin, scent doesn't last, pricey

I walked into the LUSH store in Georgetown (DC), and I just had to smell every soap they had. They sell their soaps in pre-cut chunks of different sizes and weights, priced accordingly. None of the soaps in the store really smelled great to me until I found Honey I Washed the Kids. I bought a small chunk of it. I think I paid about $7.50.

Ingredients: Honey Water (Mel Aqua), Propylene Glycol, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Perfume, Beeswax (Cera alba), Sweet Orange Oil (Citrus dulcis), Bergamot Oil (Citrus bergamia), Aloe Vera Extract (Aloe barbadensis), Aloe cupensis), Sodium Chloride, Glycerin, EDTA, Tetrasodium Editronate, Gardenia Extract (Gardenia jasminoides), Titanium Dioxide.

It smells like vanilla and honey. It really does have a nice scent.

I used this soap for a week straight. Unfortunately the smell didn't really linger on my skin afterward. The soap also left my skin feeling tight and dry. You have to be careful not to put it anywhere in the shower that isn't well-drained or where it gets hit with water constantly, because it will melt away.

LUSH made a shower gel version of this soap for a VERY limited amount of time. I think it was called Honeywood. By the time I found out about it, they were all sold out. I really wish I could've tried the shower gel. I think it might have been better at hydrating my skin than the soap.

Bottom Line

This soap is okay. However, I don't think I'll buy it again.
