Lush Karma Soap Review

The fresh earthy scent of Karma, in a bar

An all-time classic, Karma is the ultimate LUSH scent. Spicy patchouli is complemented with refreshing lemongrass, orange oil and pine oil to create a clean and lovely smell that lasts on the skin for ages after you've washed. One whiff and you'll be hooked - for this life and the next. There's enough Karma fragrance in each bar to perfume your whole body each time you wash, and transport you back to the days of free love and flower power. Give yourself good Karma; if you've been mindful and brimming with loving kindness, this is the soap to reward you.

Good Karma

I brought this on a whim I love lush, and I love soaps. Soaps are so versatile in our household, in the shower, in the kitchen, the bathroom basin, the laundry. No doubt if there is H2O there is a bar of lush soap. Another win with lush soaps is most of them smell scrumptious which seems to be encouraging miss 2 and 4 to wash their hands more as they love the scents as much as their mother.

Anyway this cherry red coloured soap looks like something you want to sink your teeth into. Why must lush products look like you need to eat them?! Its a hard soap which I love as they last longer than the creamier type soaps.

The scent of this is gorgeous, it's woody, spicy and warming. It lathers up slightly and leaves my skin feeling moisturised and soft. I've been mostly using this as a hand soap and I notice it leaves my hands scented for half an hour before it starts to fade. I love how in the karma scent there is the soap, body lotion and bubble bar so you can get all Matchy Matchy if you want to.

It's a nice soap that I love using on my hands keeping them clean and slightly moisturised, not to mention that woody patchouli scent that lingers. I will repurchase this again without hesitation.

Smells so good but sucks at lathering

I bought a 100 gram piece of this soap pretty recently. I'm currently using this as bathroom handsoap. It was bought on a bit of a whim in the lush store, I love the scent of the Karma Kream moisturiser so I decided I needed to try the soap out.

This is a reddish kind of terracotta coloured piece of soap. Since each piece gets cut off a larger piece of soap, the shapes will vary but mine is like a triangular wedge of cake shaped. (Well it was anyway, it's a rather small triangle now). I really like how you can buy any amount of soap you like and don't have to stick to 100gram amounts, because it's cut especially for you, you can buy what you like! This also doesn't really come packaged, just in a wrapping of lush paper.

Even though I've been using this for a while, I still can't describe the scent. It's very warm and earthy with a hint of spicyness in there too. It's very strong and will leave it's scent on you for a long time. It also leaves my bathroom smelling so good too.

I've used quite a few of lush's soaps now. I feel like they are either a creamy formula that lathers so well but gets used up quickly or they are more of a glycerine-like soap and last for ages but don't have much lather. This seems to be in the latter selection of soaps. This has lasted me a couple of weeks now which is way longer than I've used other types of soap for but it just doesn't give me that big foamy lather that I want. In saying that, it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry after using it. I don't think any lush soap I've tried before does leave me feeling dry though.

I don't think I'd buy this soap again, but because I love the scent, I will buy other Karma products instead. I so hope they do shower gel one day. I'd be all over that one! I'd recommend sniffing this instore but maybe buying the lotion instead.

Karma soap

I'm a huge fan of the karma smell, this ones a little different but still warm, spicy and earthy. I use it in my bathroom just as hand soap as it gets used up to fast in the shower. It's a nice deep reddy brown and las there up fast (I guess this is why it runs out quickly) I brought just over 100grams from lush it just comes wrapped in the lush paper which is still nice. I would buy it again but only as a hand soap or might buy a tin so my kids don't use it all up in the shower lol

Love the smell!

I love Kama perfume so when I saw Lush had a Karma soap I wondered if it would smell similar.  Well it doesn't lol but I still love it!

It is a lovely dark golden colour and smells quite musky/woody but still feminine. I feel like it is one of those scents you either love or hate. I purchased a nice 100gram chunk and it lasted for ages. It doesn't dry my skin out at all and I really like using it when shaving my legs.

It definitely doesn't give a lot of lather like a traditional bar of soap but you can get a wee bit of lather going. I really love this and how the smell lingers in the bathroom and on my skin, I will be purchasing it again!

Smells amazing!

This soap and scent is one of my favourites - it cheers me up in the morning and the scent really lasts longer than most soaps I have used. I know the strength of the scent isn't for everyone, but I just love the way the bathroom smells when I have this soap.

This soap can get used up [pretty quickly, but the way I have learnt to make it last is to make sure it is in a free draining soap dish, and I have one with a lid. As long as it can dry between uses, it stays the same bright orange colour and the scent is strong. If it sits in liquid, it goes white and gluggy, and seems to disappear quickly.

Tips: Let it dry between uses

Lush Karma Soap

I love everything in Karma range - it has a distinct smell that doesn't smell like everyone else. The soap leathers well and doesn't dry my skin even when I have long hot shower. Smells gorgeous and makes me feel like a hippie chick.

Spicy Scented Soap

I picked this up in one of my lush hauls or gifted . It was a long while ago. Lush soaps have changed in formula over the years .

Packaging comes wrapped in paper or if by mail wrapped in plastic. Solid bar of soap. It scent reminds me of chai latter mixed with calvin klein secret obsession pulling together a bold spicy scent.

I got at least 30 washes out of one bar . It is priced fairly. This is an old school scent. Lush 2022 has seen a lot of new scents being created.
