LUSH Running To The Embassy Body Butter Review

Running To The Embassy was the first LUSH body butter that I ever tried.  I wasn't impressed with it last February when I tried it, so I really have no idea why I picked up another one.  After using it again yesterday, my only consolation is that I picked it up for free during the LUSH Clean Slate promotion. 

This body butter is supposed to be an exfoliating, refreshing, and moisturizing product that was designed specifically for use on your feet.  The ingredients are simple: cocoa butter, pumice, shea butter, spearmint oil, peppermint oil, tagettes oil, chlorophyll, and perfume.  Running To The Embassy is sold in 3.3 ounce blocks for $10.95. 

The web site states that you can use this butter under water in the bath.  I would advise against that because it is thin and melts away very quickly.  The best way that I found to use it was to rub it onto dry feet, work the product into and across my feet, and then to rinse it all off. 

When all is said and done, Running To The Embassy is a disappointment.  There isn't enough pumice in it to truly exfoliate feet, nor is it thick or moisturizing enough to soften and soothe dry, cracked skin.  The spearmint fragrance is pleasant and different from most pedicure products, but it isn't enough to convince me to buy this body butter again.  Next time I will remember that I didn't like this stuff for a reason.
