LUSH - Canadian Maple - Soap

Canadian Maple Soap from LUSH.
This is a retro product.
One of my favorite soaps from LUSH, I like it as a hand soap.
Contains real Canadian Maple Syrup in each batch.
Softens and soothes dry skin.
Each block of soap is topped with a sweet sprinkling of coffee sugar crystals.

CLEAN UP CANUCK-STYLE
All sorts of things come to mind when you think of Canada, but maple syrup tops the list. We've tapped into our roots and brought back our Canadian Maple soap, just for our online Retro section. Made with real maple syrup and topped with sugar, it's gentle and soothing and leaves your skin soft and smelling sweet. In fact, it smells so delicious you may be tempted to top your pancakes with it, but we recommend it for the bath and shower instead.

A online only/retro product.
"A love potion to bring lovers closer together".
My favorite massage bar from LUSH, scent is beautiful and it's very moisturizing.
The name is also one of my favorite tv shows.. remember "Bewitched" from the 60's/70's.
Very smoothing as it contains extra virgin coconut oil, improving skin elasticity and tone.

CAST A SPELL ON YOUR BELOVED
If you've been on the market for a love potion, you might want to take a chance on our Bewitched massage bar. Brewed with essential oils to help bring you closer including violet leaf, as it's said to restore the bonds of friendship (the basis of any good relationship), lime oil to help one get rid of apathy (time for a kiss!) and chamomile to get your masseuse to forget the past (and stop obsessing over ex-lovers!). Any lover with an ounce of good sense will be yours forever! We recommend you massage with Bewitched regularly to prevent any possibility of distraction.
