You Snap The Whip

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

This was very, very messy.

I read reviews of this before trying it, so I figured I knew what I was in for. But no - rubbing it on the way I have other Lush moisturisers/body butters left blotchy grey streaks all over my body. I had to scrub with a washcloth to get all the colouration off, which probably negatively impacted how much moisturiser my skin absorbed. To contrast, with Buffy, my current favourite, I simply rinse and then pat myself dry.

It also didn't spread well. With other Lush moisturiser bars, I could run the bar along my arm a few times, then rub thoroughly to work it in everywhere. With this, once it was on a particular spot, it wasn't spreading anywhere else.

Then, of course, the mess it made of my tub - I had to wipe it down twice afterwards to get all the black off the sides. Definitely a shower product and not a bath one.

It smells nice and lingers more than most Lush soaps, and my skin feels reasonably soft after using it. Because of that, I gave it two stars instead of one. But I would not buy it again, and frankly, I've never been as disappointed in a Lush product.

I bought YSTW mainly for it's delicious scent and exfoliating powers. I use it on my arms where I have bumpy skin and it smoothed out my bumps amazingly! I rub it on while the shower is running, rub in and rinse off. I love the lingering scent in my bathroom and the smooth feeling of my skin. I love exfoliation so I didn't find this bar to be outrageously vicious, it was a nice feeling but not too harsh. As most other reviewers say it does get quite messy, I found that after a few uses the charcol left the skin around my armpits black, but with some body wash and a loofah that came right off.
The main con of this body bar is that it's not long lasting, it shrinks significantly each time I use it but to me this little bar is a nice treat in the shower so I wouldn't be opposed to buy another one.
Honestly: the delicious scent and smooth feeling of my skin weighs out the not long lasting and messy cons for me.

I love this product, mainly for its smell. It has a very black currant-y scent, super berry and fruity and fresh. It goes on well as long as your skin is wet. I don't have a problem with its messyness as I put the bar directly on my body and then jump in the shower. No black/grey streaks are left. I actually like to use it on my face which is prone to acne and oiliness, and a whole day after I use it, it still isn't oily. I have also noticed my face is a bit clearer from using it. Also, it makes my skin EXTREMELY soft/smooth. I love it for just that. I would totally recommend it to others.

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

A great product. Some users complain that it dissolves too quickly. I give a couple good swipes up and down then put the bar down and rub the product in with my hands. Works like a charm!

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

I absolutely adore this body butter! It has helped the acne on my back and shoulders disappear!

I find that this product is best used after you've softened your skin in the shower, turn the tap off, and rub all over! After you're done, rinse off (pay attention to the sides of your body and your underarms), and enjoy the wonderful scent.

The only flaw I find with this bar is that it doesn't last long enough. I wish Lush made a bigger size like with Buffy.

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

i am an old school lushie, though this is my first review. ive never been compelled to write one but this is a product that i both love and dislike so much at the same time. the smell is fabulous esp when layered after sweetie pie. the feeling of it going on is nice, perfect amt of scrubbyness but it melts to nothing if you use it in the shower or with really wet skin. i find it best to wash and then turn the water off and with just damp skin scrub all over and then rinse off. i have a tiled shower and would not use this in my white soaker tub. it rinses off the tiles easy.

i wish they had kept the so soft (i think it was called? the orange body butter that just smelled amazing!!!)

this one smells great but once out of the shower and dry, i find no smell lingers at all snd i dont find any moisture left either. not great for those with dry skin. i still need moisturizer after.

i buy this once in a while as a treat simply because i like using it but you really only get 2-4 uses out of it so the price is a bit much for me to add it to my "desert island survival pack"

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

I love this body butter! It smells delicious, and is both moisturizing and exfoliating. I bought one in the store and used it up really quickly, so i ordered another online. Once it arrived, i smelled it and it was strange...it smelled extremely chocolatey (though the blackcurrant scent was still there)! I actually ended up loving the chocolate fragrance, but I haven't been able to find another that smells like chocolate, but i haven't given up yet! Either way, with or without the chocolate, this is a gorgeous body butter and i would recommend it to anyone.

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

This is my favourite body butter of all time. Seriously, I cannot stress enough how amazing it is. The smell is absolutely delightful - exactly that of blackcurrant! It moisturizes really well and the scent lingers if you use it correctly. The only downside is that it doesn't last a really long time, which is okay because i don't use it every day. Five stars for the scent and effectiveness!

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

This bar is like magic for troubled skin. I have keratosis pilaris (red skin on the back of my arm with little bumps that look like 'chicken skin')and there is no cure for it, but YSTW body butter helps a lot! It is a great exfoliator, the charcoal really detoxes skin, and the macadamia nut oil moisturizes perfectly! The smell is fruity soft, just like The Comforter bubble bar and it really lasts a long time. I use this on my KP and follow with Dream Cream, and my skin looks and feels a lot better. The girl in the lush store told me this bar is also great for body acne.

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

This products melts fast but I use it once a week. I felt I needed something a little rough and this did the job. It smells great. I am a bit of a product jucky and have alot of half used stuff around so I don't really mind buying new one because it IS being used. Product was not as mess as I expected. Just spray with shower head.

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

Looking for something that would moisturize my skin for the winter, when I historically have endured dry itchy skin that would keep me up scratching at night, I was drawn to this one for its aesthetic appeal. It looks like a bar of charcoal. Awesome. The smell didn't appeal to me much until I started using it. The true scent of blackcurrant wafted into my nose.



It was my first purchase from Lush, and I am so pleased with what I got. I was expecting it to be greasy to some extent, but it really is not. At all. It is pure softness in a bar.



Even my boyfriend started using it to 'freshen up' ;)



It's just too bad that it doesn't last long.

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

I was excited to try something different than Buffy, but I wish I hadn't. This melts in the shower and I'm pretty much done the bar and it has only been three weeks or four uses. It's a lot better if you use it before you get in the shower and just put in on your body like massage bar then rinse it off.

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

I don't know why this gets so much hate b/c it's great! It made my skin so smooth and it wasn't too harsh like the sugar scrubs. Yes, it black but it's able to be washed away easily and if you don't let the stuff completely dry on you it comes off in a snap. As for it staining the tub it didn't do it for me. It left bits of the scrub but I was able to wipe it off. I HIGHLY recommend people to try this if they don't mind getting alittle messy...It's worth it ;)

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

Unfortunately You Snap The Whip left grayish black streaks all over my body. I needed to rub really hard to get them all off. And it melts quickly. I turn off the shower before I use my body butters and this bar barely lasted for four uses. I love this smell though (it's like Sweetie Pie), and it did exfoliate my skin really well.

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

This is great! Coal absorbs any oil, leaving you feeling soft and lovely. Great smell and a great amount of exfoliant. After the first time using this I crawled into bed and my boyfriend exclaims "Why are you so SOFT?" (This boy doesn't even notice when I get my hair done!) The shower water gets rid of all the black mess usually. Just don't use it in the bath!

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

it smells great!!! I cut the bar in to piece so it dosent melt so fast if you have the whole bar in the shower. I would but it again.

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

Like other reviewers, I agree this product smells great but it melts incredibly fast and it leaves a gross grey\black residue on your skin and bathtub and it doesn't moisturize. It's simply not worth the price, I will be going back to Buffy or King of Skin. So sad.

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

Well this is the first product that is 2 thumbs down for me. I am really glad I tried Buffy before this one. If it had of been the other way, I probably would have never tried another body butter. This product smells great, but I don't find it moisturizing at all, and it is very messy. I realize you can rinse the shower out, but this mess was ridiculous. All in all, I LOVE LUSH, and this product will never turn me off, I just plan on sticking with Buffy, maybe trying another one,BUT not this one again. Was not what I was expecting!

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

This has a beautiful smell, and it makes my skin feel so soft and moisturized and exfoliated. BUT, there's a few things about You Snap the Whip that have grudgingly convinced me I probably shouldn't buy it again:

- it's MESSY. Grey water and black bits get everywhere when you use it, and it sometimes leaves a greyish tinge on my skin.

- it melts so quickly, no matter if you use it in the bath or the shower. I've only gotten about five uses out of my bar, and I keep it in a Lush tin, store it in a cool place, the whole deal.

-It leaves black residue all over my tub. Scrubbing after a nice, long bath = not fun.



I'm really sad about these things, because I adore the smell and how soft it makes my skin feel, but maybe if it wasn't so messy and a bit more hardy.

Comments about LUSH You Snap The Whip:

I did some very heavy research which body butter would be the best for me; I am pleased that I chose You Snap the Whip. My skin has gotten significantly firmer and softer. I chose this body butter because charcol seems to keep my acne at bay, and unfortunately for me, I get it on more than just my face x.x I seem to be clearing up though, without drying out.



Something to keep in mind if you are going to buy this, is that it does leave a bit of a residue. However, if you're like me, you use another shower product (I use Dream Cream)to get rid of it. Regardless, the results are proven.



I read that it doesn't last long, so right away I kept in mind to not SOAK the bar, to have my skin wet, then rub the bar on... 'wherever', out of direct water hits, and then quickly put the bar back into its tin (or, wherever else you might keep it).



It's great stuff!
