Lush Let The Good Times Roll You can use this cleanser for your face and body – it’s gentle enough to polish and buff your skin all over. It’s scented with Pia’s popcorn perfume that’s in the sugary lip scrub of the same name. It’s smoothing and soothing and ever so slightly warming on the skin.

Lovely [or, "I'm so good at review titles"]

When I was at Lush a while ago the lovely salesgirl gave me some very generous samples to try out at home. While I enjoyed all of them, this was definitely the standout product for me, and one that went immediately on to my purchase list.

First off, it has the most amazing, warm, caramelly scent. I can definitely see where the popcorn scent description comes in, but I think it’s more like a caramel/sweet popcorn scent than a salty one. (It has the same scent as the Popcorn lip scrub, if you’ve tried that). It’s a soft yellow colour, and solid, like Angels on Bare Skin, etc. It has a fine but gritty texture, mostly owing to the maize flour (corn flour) and polenta, which makes it a really gentle exfoliant. I don’t mind using it every morning, because it’s not harsh, and doesn’t over-strip my skin.

To use it, I pinch off a pea-sized amount and add a tiny amount of water (literally a few drops) to mix it to a paste. Then I gently rub it over my damp face, and rinse it away. I prefer to use it in the shower, since it is a bit more messy than a standard cleanser, and so sometimes I leave it on my face while I wash my hair, etc, and then rinse it off at the end.

It leaves my combination/dry skin so soft, and doesn’t strip or dry it out like heaps of other cleansers (including Angels on Bare Skin, the Lush favourite). I feel like I haven’t had many breakouts at all since I started using this, and my skin has been looking great.

The only con is that it can be a bit tricky to use because of the pot packaging. The screw-top lid can be a bit hard to navigate in the shower without getting water into the pot (which isn’t good for the remaining product), and it’s a bit bulky to store. However, since Lush packaging is completely recyclable and environmentally friendly, it’s a very small inconvenience that I can easily look past given how lovely the product is inside.

Overall, this is my favourite of all the Lush products I’ve ever used. It’s probably not hard to tell given my rating, but this is definitely a repurchase for me!

Tips: Don't add too much water - it literally only needs the tiniest bit to make it into a spreadable paste consistency.

Thank you! :) It seriously is great, you should definitely give it a go! Ask for a sample pot - mine lasted for a couple of weeks, so long enough to decide whether it worked for me or not. x

gentle enough to polish and buff skin all over

This is one of Lush’s cleanser products, and this was recommended to me by a friend. I had low hopes for this, and was personally more interested in Lush’s range of masks, rather than there cleansers which to me, just did not interest me at all! However, my friend actually gave me a super generous sample of this cleanser to try so I really had no excuse not to. And spoiler alert, as soon as in finished the sample she gave me, I practically rushed into Lush to buy the full size version.

Like most of Lush’s products, this one also comes in the small black container, and has a really good seal on it, so im more than happy to leave this in the shower without fear water will seep in a ruin my $20 cleanser (and trust me, I would be less than impressed if that happened.

First impressions? Well when I open the container, I can see the colour of this scrub is a golden yellow, and I smell this slightly sweet oat scent, which reminds me of porridge, or a crumble of some sort. The texture is the same as all their other cleansers and it is a crumbly solid, which I would compare to an short crust pastry in texture. The texture however also has fine granules in there, which I think is the polenta which is ever so slightly abrasive.

The way I use this cleanser is a get a small amount (maybe the size of half a 10c coin, and I add a tiny bit of water to make a paste. Let me just mention that when I’m using this product the smell is amazing, better than it smells in the container because its actually going on your face and it smells so nice. I’m not great at describing scents but its got an oaty scent, with a toffee undertone, but its not sickly sweet at all, it just has this perfect mild sweetness. I apply this to my face (with my hands) in upward circular motions. Because of the fine polenta in this product, this cleanser can also be a really gentle scrub and exfoliator as well as cleansing my face so a dual purpose product. Sometimes if im using this in the shower (which is my preference because it can be slightly messy), I will let the cleanser sit of my face like a mask for a few minutes well I’m doing other things.

When I wash this cleanser off my face, my skin literally feels like butter. It is clean, but not squeaky clean, and it’s so soft and silky smooth. I normally use this as a night time cleanser, and the next day, my skin just looks amazing and radiant. But I don’t use this every day because of the exfoliating aspect of the cleanser, but use it perhaps 3 times a week instead. I haven’t used this on my body because I think it’s too expensive for a body cleanser, but by the feeling of it, I’m sure it would be a lovely gently cleanser for your skin if you could afford it use it this way. This (along with the Lush’s dark angel’s cleanser) have quickly become one of my top cleansers. I recommend this to everyone, because it seems as well as making awesome bath bombs and bubble bars, lush makes some amazing cleansers too.

Tips: As this product is $18.9 for a container, I recommend you going to your local lush store and asking for a sample of this to try before you buy. The samples they provide as usually very generous and will give you a chance to fall in love with the product before spending the money! Sounds like a win win to me.

Great Cleanser but can't Beat Buche de Noel

I bought this cleanser at Christmas time in their sale. I couldn't get hold of Buche de Noel at the time and so substituted that for this one.

The first thing I noticed was the three pieces of popcorn on the top of the cleanser, I thought it was cute and hilarious at the same time. I was thinking 'I wonder whether I can eat this or not' lol. Don't worry I didn't.

This cleanser is similar but different all at the same time. It has a more playdoh texture to it but more bitty. It cleanses well but it leaves big pieces on your face. It does seem to be greasy however I don't find it very moisturising like some of the others.

It does cleanse and it does smell nice. The price is good and is in pot that is user friendly. Also when you have five of these containers, they can be traded in for a free Face Mask, which is super generous of Lush.

On a comparison with Buche de Noel and Angels on Bare Skin, I wish I could say it was the same but it's not. Unfortunately, I don't find it very moisturising like the other two are which is sad as I wanted to love it. Not to say though that if the other two weren't available I wouldn't purchase because I would. But only if I couldn't have the others.

Caramel Popcorn anyone?

I was given a 100g tub as a bonus for placing an order online. Upon opening it I was in love... it smells just like salted caramel popcorn... I can't get enough of its scent!

The product itself it an oddity as it is ply-able as a solid mass add water it goes creamy but it had gritty ground up popcorn through it... If you had told me a year ago I would be smearing popcorn on my face as skin car I would have laughed you out of the building! but after using this for the last two weeks every second or third day (don't get this in your hair line... it's not a good look), I actually like how my skin feels afterwards (be prepared that during use it looks kind of gross). It leaves a kind of oily residue on my face but it feels silky and doesn't look like an oil slick.

I don't think I would race out to buy this again (apart from the yummy scent) as I have other products that I personally find do more for my skin, but this isn't bad and I still have a lot left in the tub so it is reasonable value for money even though you only have 3 months from making it to expiry date (check this before purchasing to get the most out of your purchase; Lush do make their products fresh though)

Lush Let the Good, Caramel, Smooth Skin Times Roll

I'm surprised how much I liked this scrub. I've been using it twice as a scrub for a few weeks and I really like it. From what I've discovered a lot of face and body recommended scrubs are too harsh for your face. But this is really gentle facial cleansing scrub. It smells like caramel and it has no ruff particulars. This fresh face cleansing roll has a short ingredients list. The maize flour and cornmeal are supposed to be the exfoliants. I don't think for a manual scrub it gets much finer than that. This mixes into a nice smooth paste and doesn't leave a mess unlike some of the other cleansers. After using this, my skin is soft and smooth. And because this scrub is so fine and not scratchy or harsh I can even use it while I have breakouts. While I do prefer Angels on Bare Skin to this because I find it more moisturizing, this is still a great scrub. I think this would suit most skin types. For those looking for a simple, natural very fine scrub this might be worth a shot.

Tips: The way to work with this scrub is to take a small bit of the dry scrub and mix it with a bit of water in your palm to form a paste. You need to keep the product in the pot dry until you are going to use it so don't store this in shower. I would recommend storing the pot somewhere dry and just taking a small amount in a sample container in the shower with you so the main pot and product doesn't get any water in it.

Good enough to eat!

On a recent Lush escapade I was given a very knowledgable skin consultation where I was recommended Let The Good Times Roll as a cleanser. I was told that this cleanser was special in that it would help deliver moisture into my oliy, acne-prone skin, helping stopping it from over-producing oil.

First impressions of the product? The yellow-coloured, grainy formula was almost like a soft scrub in consistencylike the polenta it is made up of. It reminded me a lot like an oaty cookie dough, and smelled like it too. Sweetly scented, in fact it smelled so good that I may have licked my lips when washing it off and it really is good enough to eat!

To apply I grab a small amount of scrub and mix it with water in my palm to make a smooth paste. I massage it into my skin and the granular texture makes a nice exfolliant which is gentle enough not to irritate my skin. After washing off my skin feels so soft and smooth, and like I was informed it actually felt like very nourished, not tight or dry like most cleansers leave it. The cleanser itself does give some moisture back into the skin so I think would be suitable not only for oily skin types but those with combo and normal as well.

I have been incredibly impressed with this product as I really expected it to break my skin out given it's lack of chemicals designed to fight acne, instead it's worked really well and left my skin looking great. I prefer to use this more as a scrub than a twice-a-day cleanser because despite how gentle it is it's still exfolliating. The only downside of this cleanser is I found the formula a bit more time-consuming to use and a bit messier than the standard cleanser, but this is only a small downside to a very great product.

Tips: This reminds me a lot of Oasis' Tropical Smoothie which I also have as I found you can also leave it on like a fresh face mask, and then exfolliate and cleanse as you wash it off.

All Time Fav Facial Cleanser

I absolutely love this facial cleanser, I have purchased it multiple times and is definitely my go to. The sweet smelling scent is sooo good, butterscotch caramel popcorn is what it smells like to me. It also has just the right amount of buff and exfoliation to my liking and I use it daily. It helps me with breakouts, redness and makes my skin feel so smooth and magical. It has like a couple fresh bits of popcorn in the top, which I find really quirky and fun. The tub is such a great size, lasts me a couple months so I think it's really good value for money.

Tips: Use daily for amazing feeling skin, maybe pair it with a nice lush facial moisturiser after use :)

Smells like popcorn

I am a lush addict. I am always trying their products. This one in particular was a limited edition product but then they made it a permanent product. The texture is like playdough. You only need a pea size amount as you put water onto it and turn it into a paste. The smell is amazing. There is little popcorn bits and it has a small exfoliant in it to scrub away those dead skin cells. It's great for me because I have sensitive skin. This is a great scrub for all skin types

Amazing stuff!

My sister had some of this in the shower so I sneakily used some and had to quickly go and buy one for myself! Just like every other Lush product I've tried, this smells delicious. The gentle scrub always leaves my face feeling super clean and soft. I've recommended this to a few friends who have gone on to try this and fall in love with it too!

Tips: You don't need to use much at all, so the pot lasts a long time!

beautiful

the smell like with most lush products is amazing, it is quite sweet and caramelly. the scrub itself is a bit harsh on the skin so it is good to use maybe once or twice a week, or would work well for people with oily skin or large dry patches.
