At the time of writing this review Lush’s most recently released collaboration is with BARBIE. You read that right, the collab of all collabs is here, Barbie X Lush. With the new Barbie film recently coming out in cinemas, it’s hard to get through a day without seeing or hearing something Barbie related. I am so happy that Lush decided to join in and celebrate the joy of Barbie!
The first product I tried from the Barbie X Lush collaboration was the Barbie Dream Sugar Scrub. Its ingredients include caster sugar, fair trade organic cocoa butter, organic almond oil, extra virgin coconut oil, lemon myrtle oil, Persian lime oil, ylang ylang oil and a little shimmer.
As you can see in the photo below, the sugar scrub is a swirl of pink and white. It was almost too pretty to dip my fingers in!
Scent wise the Barbie Dream sugar scrub smells just like a home-made lemon and limeade, it’s a very gentle scent and not at all overpowering. Consistency wise the Barbie Dream sugar scrub is really thick, the closest past product that I can think of that is similar to it is the Cookie Dough body scrub. It’s not quite as doughy though, this formula is much smoother.
After scooping out a small amount, I lathered it up and got straight to work with it. On the pot it tells you to rub the sugar scrub in, in small, circular motions followed by rinsing it off. A small amount of the scrub goes a long way, and I was surprised at how quickly it lathered up. I have never been this impressed with a Lush exfoliator before. After my first use, I knew it was special and I am so disappointed that it’s a limited-edition product that won’t be with us forever.
Lush really need to think about making more sugar scrubs like this, I want Lush to make them in all of Lush’s best-selling scents. WE NEED THEM!
The reason I speak so highly of the Barbie Dream sugar scrub is because of how it makes my skin feel after using it. It’s gentle but so incredibly scrubby at the same time. Lush have balanced the ratio of caster sugar and skin-moisturising ingredients in the formula of the Barbie Dream sugar scrub perfectly. After using it my skin feels soft and smooth and is so incredibly hydrated. There’s certainly no need for body lotion afterwards.
There is a slight shimmer in the Barbie Dream sugar scrub but it’s barely noticeable on the skin, if anything, with it being a Barbie product I was expecting it to bedazzle me somewhat, but it again was just right shimmer wise too, so discreet I could barely see it.
I couldn’t end this review without mentioning the beautiful pink pot it comes in. Even though it isn’t the traditional black pot that Lush normally go for IT IS still a part of the Lush bring it back scheme so keep a hold of it! Overall, I can’t get enough of the Barbie Dream sugar scrub, Lush NEED to make more sugar scrubs like it. I am so sad that the Barbie Dream sugar scrub will only be around for a very short time. Grab it while you can, it’s worth every penny!
