Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

I have Eczema and i get really dry itchy red patches on my skin on my neck under my chin my hands and behind my knees. i bought this on a whim during my first visit to lush, im so happy i did i used this body butter on my hands and it got rid of the scaley red itchy dry patches but it is also very gentle whitch is important for me since my skin is EXTRA sensitive. i had a huge red dry patch on my chin and neck so i used this on those areas and GONE nothing left but smooth skin and a lot less red afterwards. This is so great becuase it exfoliates gently and moisturizes at the same time. Also the smell warm nutty a little sweet so adicting. I can't say enough about how this product has changed my skin since i started using it the results are imdiate for me. i wont be without this product ever i refuse to. The only thing is it goes so fast i wish they made a bigger size. all and all this is a must have great product

I love this stuff! I have Keratosis Pilaris, which means that I get little bumps that look like zits on my upper arms, which are aggravated when my skin is dry. This is the only product I've ever found that helps it! If you keep it in a tin when you're not using it, the bar will last forever, so it's definitely worth the price. The only downside is when you keep it in a tin it can get moldy. Its not enough to bother me, just tiny little specks that you can scratch off with your fingernail and the smell is altered a little bit when the bar is older. I consider it a small price to pay for knowing there are REAL ingredients in the bar that make my skin beautiful!

Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

I'm not too impressed with this body butter. But it is worth a try!
1) SMELL: to me, it smells like peanut butter. I liked it at first and I still like it but I'm not too in love with it. It has a hint of almond. So it's not a bad smell it just is different than you'd like it to be
2) It doesn't really moisturize but it has great exfoliating particles so I like to use this for areas where I'm prone to ingrown hairs. Also I heard it helps lighten up certain areas where you may have discoloration such as under your arms which I haven't seen yet but that's be nice. If that ends up happening I will mention that in a later review post.
3) It doesn't last long so I recommend cutting it into pieces. I cut them small enough to where they are the size I will use in a shower use.
I still like this body butter because the smell is pretty nice. It's nice amazing but I'm not annoyed by it and it is great for exfoliating.

Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

As a previous user of both buffy and you crack the whip, I think Aqua mirabilis is more of an exfoliant with a conditioner than a moisturizer.

It definitely does not leave you as buttery as Buffy, but it gives just as good of a scrub down and turns into a white-ish lotion when you apply it. It conditions the skin, but still calls for more moisturizer after the shower or later in the day, depending on how dry your skin is. It is definitely not a winter skin salve.

It smells chocolatey which I love in the shower, but it doesn't linger which I also appreciate (I am more into botanical smells)

One star for scrubbiness.
One star for skin conditioning.
One star for smell-goodiness.

Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

I really thought I'd love this based on all the great reviews but sadly I do not. This smells exactly of ground almonds with no sweetness so if that is not your thing I would not buy this. As an exfoliation this did the job well enough but I don't think it was very moisturizing. As suggested by other users I cut this up into chunks before using so the whole bar wouldn't melt in one use. As a result I had a hard time getting a good grip on the little chunk to rub it around because it was melting so fast. I'll use this up because it does exfoliate and I don't want to waste it but I won't buy it again.

Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

This product has a lovely, calming scent. It smells very much like dry porridge with a bit of sandalwood. I use this after a long soak in the bath. After I've shaved and washed, perhaps five minutes before getting out of the bath, I scrub my legs, arms and decolletage with this lightly. I then keep my arms and legs resting on the sides of the tub and allow the product to dry while occasionally rubbing it in a bit more. I have found it is more moisturising this way. It leaves me very smooth. I have not reacted to the crushed almond shell and it seems to soothe my skin when it is rashy despite the exfoliating properties. Directly out of the bath I pat try and rub on Schnuggle to enhance the comforting scent. The small bar lasts about a dozen baths if you do not submerge it.

I've been using lush products for about 4 years now, and I can't believe this is the first time I've tried Aqua Mirabilis! I didn't even realize how great it smelled until I used it in the shower. AM gently exfoliates, leaves skin soft but not greasy. If you haven't tried this, try it!! I will definitely be buying again!!

Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

My dear friend gave this to me, and holy cow was I impressed! It leaves your skin so silky smooth. Completely on his own accord, my boyfriend told me that my skin was feeling much smoother. I didn't tell him about my little secret, but he sure did notice and appreciate the effects of Aqua Mirabilis!

Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

I just bought my second Aqua Mirabilis bar to use with It's Raining Men shower gel. I am SO excited to try the combination of both. The first bar I used by itself and it did some serious work on the little annoying bumps I couldn't seem to get rid of on the backs of my arms. Some people refer to this as chicken skin syndrome...well, no more! I have used other fresh bars found at elite grocery stores that combine almond and coffee grounds to exfoliate...but found them to be a little too harsh. This bar is incredibly smoothing and smells AWESOME. I like to use it before bed as the smell lingers on my skin making me feel super cozy~~

Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

I just bought this bar about two weeks ago, and I am simply in love with it. I have not a single bad thing to say about it, and I use it almost daily. I have had Keratosis Pilaris--a skin condition that give me dry, bumpy, red skin-- on my upper arms for as long as I can remember. I've used every cream on the market including going to the dermatologist, and nothing has ever worked.

I can tell you right now that my skin has NEVER looked better. While there is no cure for my condition, it can be treated and symptoms reduced by extreme moisturizing. I use the bar in the shower (I would suggest buying the larger bar, you get more bang for your buck and the grip-ability is much better) and gently use it to exfoliate my upper arms, then rinse.

There is a layer of moisturizer left behind which you can feel. It is not heavy and not greasy. You can almost see results instantly. I would suggest this for anyone who has a sensitive skin condition where dryness and redness occurs, or just for someone who wants to get their skin silky smooth again. I would highly suggest using this in the shower to avoid any mess the almond grit can leave behind. The Body Butter Tin works well in keeping it out of the water when not in use.

Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

I have searched and spent so much money trying to find a product that would help with my dry skin. This item worked IMMEDIATELY! The smell is NOT terrible, could be better, but definetely not bad. My only problem with this product is that it does not last long and absorbs quickly in the water. I do find it a little bit pricey due to that, but not enough so to stop me from purchasing it! I would definetly suggest giving this soap a try, you won't be sorry.

Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

I had red bumps on my skin from harsh weather, this oriental scented body butter cleared them right up. My only regret is that it doesn't last longer!

Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

I have tried out the buffy, you snap the whip and aqua mirabilis and aqua mirabilis is my fav. It's not too greasy but deffinitely long lasting. The smell is subtle but addicting. I also love the almond scrubs. Buffy is too greasy for my taste and you snap the whip is not moistuirizing enough. This is my "just right" product.

Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

I cannot say enough about this body butter/buffer bar. I'm something of a Lushaholic, it's kind of a problem. Ever since day one of using aqua mirabilis I have been hooked. I always have 4 bars in a stockpile, as I go through about one every 2 weeks. I use it everyday, but sparingly. I never let it get wet in the bath or in the shower. I just rub it onto my already wet skin here and there and then spread it around. I've never had to cut it into chunks and I feel it's a good value for the amount of use I get out of it. Buffy may moisturize a teeny bit better (ok, quite a bit better) BUT I cannot live without the smell of aqua mirabilis and I just adore the ground up almond shells for exfoliation. Oh, and the smell lingers. Perfection!

Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

After using this product, I understand how my parents felt when they used to stare at my lackluster report card and tell me how much *potential* I had.

I want to fall hopelessly in love with this product. And, like any relationship, I think we're both at fault for why it's not working out.

It mouisturizes like nothing I have used, and the exfoliation is gentle yet effective. Perfect for sensitive types like me. And I used this in the bath, which turned wonderfully milky.

The downside is how much of it melted the one time I used it. Had I known, I would not have taken it in the bath with me.

I will still buy this product, but I might try some of the other ones out first. And I'll definitely try the suggestion of cutting it up.

I love this body butter it makes my skin extra smooth and soft.

Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

An excellent moisturizer- great scent, time-saving, package-saving. Love the stuff. Buffy seems to be a heavier version of this, maybe for drier skins, but I prefer this one.

Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

the best of moisturization and exfoliation!

this bar is (i think) beneficial for all skin types. it does lightly exfoliate without being too rough while also moisturizing. though many complain about the smell, i LOVE it. it smells like almound butter. i use it while in the shower, i step out of the stream and let the bar work it's magic.

summary: if you want to try out a body butter, this is the one! it will show you both "buffy"'s scrubby abilities and "king of skin"'s creamy hydration abilities.

oh! and can i just say that the people that work here are some of the nicest, most helpful people i have ever met!
I love LUSH!

*** CUT UP YOUR BODY BUTTER INTO PIECES ***
I've been reading that A LOT of people say this product doesn't last very long in the shower- just a couple of uses before it's gone. Cut this up into smaller pieces. You really only need a tiny amount for your body. It'll last so much longer and you'll most definitely get your money's worth :)
I use Aqua Mirabilis every other day when I need a cleansing boost. I use a loofah in the shower anyways so I get plenty of exfoliation.

Comments about Aqua Mirabilis Body Butter:

Dear Lushies,

Hmmm. I have a lot to say about this body butter. I must admit, I like many of it's qualities; it softens and exfoliates my skin, it goes on smoothly, and it sinks in fast. Sounds good, right? Wrong. I hate to hate on LUSH, but the smell of this is awful to me! I have read some other reviews, and some people seem to like it, but to me, it smells like a strange kind of...peanut butter? It is hard to describe. Although it technically works well, I wouldn't buy it again, just because of the scent! Also, buyers beware, it smells far less strong in the store, dry, than it does after application. If you are hesitant about the scent when dry, I would not recommend this product.

Peace, Love, Blissful, Blissful LUSH <3
