Lush Rock Star Soap Review

Vanilla candy soap for rock stars

There’s nothing hard rock or heavy metal about this soap. We’re serious about soap, but not too serious not to love our pink sudser. It’s unabashedly a best-selling pop hit that everyone, boys and girls, can’t wait to get their hands on. While you may object otherwise, once you try our pink, vanilla-scented cream soap you’ll be singing a different tune. Scented with real vanilla (the gorgeous stuff that comes from pods, not labs), and decorated with soap stars embedded inside you’ll want to give Rock Star a regular rotation in the soap dish.

Feeling like a rock star.. or maybe a princess

This soap, it feel like luxury! This was one of the first soaps i had heard of from Lush, and it seemed too good to be true, so ofcourse, i had to try it for myself.

The soap is a beautiful creamy pink colour, and sometimes your soap with even have an imprint of a star on it. Super cute. This soap has the most beautiful sweet, vanilla smell. Its not too intense, but you can definitely smell it when the soap is in the room. It just makes my bathroom smell amazing. In also smells amazing when its lathering up on my skin, but the smell does not really linger on my skin.

Speaking of lather, this soap does lather up nicely, but not like a body wash. However, it does lather up enough to clean my skin, without stripping it so its awesome.

Overall, a lovely soap. It is a bit expensive since it costs around $8 for 100g of the soap. However, it does last a long time, so thats a bonus. This is a soap i buy myself for a treat, and not something that i use everyday, but is definitely worth a try

A Lush Rockstar

I can never really decide how I feel about Lush's rock star soap. I love the colour and it works well as a soap (ie it cleans) but there is something missing in the fragrance for me. Now I do want to caution that this is the opinion of my nose and others may feel differently. However for me, I can smell the vanilla, but for a lack of a better description, the rest of the smell seems to missing. I can smell a hole in the scent so to speak.

I do think it's a nice soap. But for me, I would be more likely to go towards one of their more robust scented soaps.

The soap itself is a light pink colour and very smooth. On the skin it does feel lovely and smooth. And I also love that with a Lush soap, I know I am using a soap that is natural and animal testing free.

I also wish that Lush would have more sales on their soaps because they are rather expensive.

I agree, it is lacking the extra oomph in the fragrance department.

Love the scent, not sold on the soap

This is the product that got me hooked on Lush. The smell is devine like their creamy candy bubble bar, it really does smell like candy. It also makes the bathroom smell amazing makes washing heaven

The soap is a pretty shade of medium pink a nice feminine touch to the bathroom.

However this soap does not last long it literally disappears before your eyes when water is added. But I keep repurchasing as the smell has me.

I do wish Lush would reformulate the recipe to make it longer lasting.

Mature Snow Fairy

This was one of the first lush soaps I tried as I'm quite hesitant with skin products because of how sensitive it is.

This soap is a dark baby pink and smells deeeeelicious. I find it hard to describe the smell but i think it's pretty similar to snow fairy shower gel, but a bit musky and grown up.

It lathers up really nicely and is easy to use just as is. However I would say if it's just left in the shower it becomes pretty mushy/weak pretty fast so I would take it out of the shower each time.

I find my skin can handle it about twice a week. I have eczema so this is good for me....I can usually only use unscented unfun products on the regular.

Overall I really do like it, just needs to be kept in the dry when it's not actually being used.

I've also been keeping my back up one in a draw and it makes me clothes smell so good!

Rockette

This came highly recommended by some trusted Lush lovers so I had to have it. I love the star that is imprinted on the soap, it makes it so edgy but still sticking with the flirty girly side. It is a baby, creamy pink colour and makes my shower shelf look gorgeous! It is true that it's not just loved by females because my son also adores the scent and the star on it. He uses it as much as I do which prompted me to have to buy bigger chunks of it so he could have a cut off of his own.

I love sweet scents so this satisfies all of those cravings for sweet. It smells like marshmallow mixed with candy floss (yum). It smells edible almost. At $8.90 for 100g it is quite an expensive luxury but because it's natural I tend to go for green products more than chemically riddled products.

It builds up a nice creamy lather which means I don't have to use much to get myself clean all over. I have always found every Lush soap I have used to be drying on my already dry skin but after a thorough moisturizing after a shower the problem is remedied and I am left smelling of a candy shop and cleansed from head to toe!

I find that I can't use this for long periods of time because it causes my skin to become worse as time goes on. This is even after a slathering of moisturizer afterwards. I always keep it on hand for those moments when I want to smell sweet and give myself a bit of luxury.

Tips: Moisturize afterwards because it can be drying

Star of Bubblegum

I have a couple of these bars (one star shaped and one block form) and I was excited to think that it would smell of vanilla. I can't actually detect the vanilla scent that well or at least it isn't a typical vanilla scent that I recognize; what I do smell is a very traditional bubblegum scent much like the old Bazooka Joe gums.

The star shape is cute and so easy to hold in the shower, it melts easily onto the skin and cleanses well with out drying my skin out. The scent lingers long on my skin as well and I can still smell it hours after I have used it, It isn't a strong scent though... just subtle.

Although I have a couple of this soap already I wouldn't personally buy it again... it's nice to have but I prefer some of the other scents more.

Great!

Although a pricey item, the Rock Star soap does wonders for your skin. It smells divine, like candy, and leaves your skin smelling great even after your shower. It's a sweet pink and sometimes comes in a star shape. It's smooth and lathers and spreads easily. Again because it is pricey, it's better as a treat-yourself soap rather than a long term soap, but it lasts a reasonable amount of time, so it's still a good buy!

Tips: Love buying it in a set with another soap or buying it in one of those gift boxes for a friend! (It's in a space themed one and comes with the planet shaped bath bomb)

All for the smell

The smell of this soap is quite similar to the Bubblegum range and is quite sweet and long-lasting. However the soap itself is not at all long-lasting, it lasts about a month or so but because it doesn't foam up a lot in your hands you'll have to keep going at it which uses it up a lot faster than other foamy soaps. After use it give a squeaky clean feeling to your skin but after drying the skin is back to feeling soft again. If you're into the smell of soaps and wouldn't mind it running out quickly then this would be perfect :)

Not my favourite

This pink Lush soap isn't as good as it could be. Maybe that's me though, I just don't think it's got the wow factor that other Lush soaps have.

The colour is good, a nice pink colour.

The name is awesome - Rock Star- how cool is that? I have to admit I bought it for the name.

Stars embedded? Is there? The one time I bought this one for myself (I get it as a gift usually for teenage girls) I didn't even notice there was anything in it.

The scent...weak. It's a sweet, vanilla scent but it isn't very strong. The scent is good, likeable, but just needs that kick that makes it so you can't stop smelling it. It does not fill the shower with a steamy cloud of luscious fragrance- that's what I love about lush stuff so it's missing a key component.

Soap wise- it lathers and cleans as a soap should, it is soft like a Lush soap, so no leaving in in a wet old shower to soggy up. I find all Lush soaps gentle on my skin and non drying.

Smells Amazing

I have always loved the rock star scent. It is supposed to smell like vanilla but to be honest i can't smell it. I think it smells like bubblegum/ lollies. When i used rock star in the shower it lathers up really well on my skin. It made my skin smell nice for the rest of the day but i found that it kind of dried my skin out

Tips: It doesnt last long because it lathers up quite alot
