You Snap The Whip

Comments about You Snap The Whip Body Butter:

This product is an exfoliator and left my skin filling nice BUT it was such an absolute mess I will never purchase it again. My bathtub looked like someone had thrown pots of black ink into it. It also melted extremely fast and turned into a gooey blob. There are so many other ways to moisturize and exfoliate (try the figs & leaves soap), so please skip this one. It also smelled way too fruity for me and it's driving me crazy - I tried to rinse off with another soap, but the scent is still lingering. By far one of my least favorite lush products (and I've tried a lot).

Comments about You Snap The Whip Body Butter:

I use this two to three times a week and I love how it leaves my skin feeling. The charcoal and exfoliating elements really work to shough off dry skin and when that's washed off, my skin is left feeling soft and smooth, not greasy and there is no need for additional body cream. I really like the scent, too. It is a bit 'hard core', so I wouldn't recommend using it every day and start off using it gently until you find the way that feels right to you.

Comments about You Snap The Whip Body Butter:

I was super excited to get this. It smells like bubblegum scent to me and it does exfoliate really well.
Unfortunately it disappears way to fast. I used it everyday for 1 WEEK and it is gone, and I only used it on my arms and legs. It's just to expensive to only last a week.

I love how YSTW smells. While some others have commentented about the mess, I found that it washed down the drain and dind't leave any hard stains. It does leave your skin feeling smooth. However, it does not last. I think we've managed to get a few uses and it's already gone. I managed to keep it out of the water and still just melted away.

When I first smelled this product I fell in love! It smells so good! However, when I used it, it got all over my tub and shower walls and stained the bottom of it. It also stained the skin around my underarms and breasts. The smell lingers on your skin for a few hours after, which is nice. But with it being so messy, and staining my tub and me, it's just not worth it to me to repurchase it. Go with the sweetie pie shower jelly instead, it smells just like it!

Comments about You Snap The Whip Body Butter:

You snap the whip is great smelling, works great on dry skin but doesn't last long so I only use is every 2-3 days. Even using it every three days it keeps my skin soft and smooth. I will buy this again and again!

OH MUH GAWD!
This bar of delicious yum-yum is THE single reason I view showers as a pleasurable experience now, as opposed to a chore that needs to get done at some point. This is my #1 favorite Lush product (and trust, I'm very fussy, have sensitive skin, a sensitive nose, and own many other Lush products, this is THE ONE). I use this in conjunction with my Back For Breakfast shower gel and Each Peach moisturizing bar. My skin has never felt/looked better! I have KP and blotchiness on my upper arms and this stuff has been surprisingly effective at improving the tone and clarity of my skin all around. Even on days when I'm too lazy to use my moisturizing bar, my skin still looks and feels soft, smooth, and dewy. I use this first thing in the shower, and then wash with Back for Breakfast. The moisturizing properties of the cocoa and shea butter can still be felt even when using the soap afterwards. I also really love the fact that the Blackcurrant oil in this (aside from giving it that heavenly, non-headache inducing smell) has Gamma Linolenic Acid (an omega 3!) that does wonders for skin!

I have become recently obsessed with this product. When i went into the store, it was always something i was curious about, but after making the purchase, i've never been happier. You snap the whip smells AMAZING, and really does its job with exfoliating your skin. You will feel silky smooth in no time.

The issues I had with this product were few. One that is was REALLY Messy, i mean black water EVERYWHERE, The other, is that in one use, it was already half the size that it was at purchase.

Whenever I drop by my local Lush store (which is probably more often than I should go, haha) I don't give much consideration to the body butters, going instead for the more flashy bath bombs and bubble bars. My most recent shopping venture was to check out a new limited edition massage bar, and this product was on display along with the new massage bar. The sales associate said that it is great for people who have oily skin, as the other body butters can be a bit heavy, so I decided to give it a try. I did like the smell, after all.

Holy chicken arms, batman! Like many other fair-skinned people, I am cursed with keratosis pilaris (those annoying red bumps on the upper arms). When I used this for the first time, the majority of the bumps disappeared! I don't know if they were exfoliated into oblivion or if there is some other magical power at work, but my arms are now smooth. It isn't super moisturizing, at least not for me, but since I have naturally oily skin anyway, that isn't a huge concern for me. And it's a bit messy, but that's a small price to pay for soft, smooth arms. :D

Yes, this bar will melt like an ice cube under running water, but it's quite simple- just don't stand under the shower head when scrubbing yourself down, and once you're done with it, tuck it away someplace safe away from the shower. In my bathroom, it lives on the windowsill behind the curtain. I've used it at least five times already and I fully expect to get at least five more uses out of it, probably more.

The Product is Amazing! It helped with every problem I had with my back. Little or big it was taken care of. I used it in the shower after I washed with Grass and it made this amazing smell that could awake the dead :)

Comments about You Snap The Whip Body Butter:

I bought this item for travel to save space and because it wasn't a liquid. I wish I had chosen a lighter color bar because every time I used it color splashed on to the walls and curtains of whatever shower I was in and I had to clean it up.

Comments about You Snap The Whip Body Butter:

This smells amazing; I can smell it on my skin the next day. It also scrubs very well.

Comments about You Snap The Whip Body Butter:

This is the only product I have ever used from Lush that I did not like. I love the body butters (Buffy is probably my fav), but this one just didn't do it for me. It left my bathtub with dark spots that resembled mold and I had to scrub to get it off. I didn't care for the smell - it reminds me of bubblegum. If you like that smell, this may be your cup of tea. It also didn't exfoliate as well as I would have thought. Buffy and Sandstone do a better job in that area. It also melts verrrry quickly. And yes, I chop mine into pieces, but the pieces that I cut are mostly melted by the time I'm finished running them over my legs! On top of all that, it didn't provide that much moisture, in my opinion. I won't be repurchasing...I'll stick with the others. Still love you, Lush!!

Comments about You Snap The Whip Body Butter:

This is the best thing I have EVER purchased from Lush. If I could walk around in public with this on my body I would. The smell is fantastic and it looks incredible. I feel so clean and soft after using this! The only thing is, I dont use it in the shower. I rub this all over before hopping in the shower and then rinse it off and use body wash. You still feel super soft and nice and its not as complicaated and messy. Plus it keeps so so much longer than using it under running water. Try it this way and I promise you wont be disappointed. Also if you tan or go spray tanning, this is awesome as a pre-tan exfoliator!

Comments about You Snap The Whip Body Butter:

Love, love, love this product. First of all, it smells awesome -- I was a bit leery of it in the store, but it's fantastic in actuality and not too strong. Second of all, it works wonderfully as a moisturizer. It goes on smoothly, with just a hint of exfoliation from the charcoal, and it spreads easily over my skin. It's just the right amount of moisture of my torso, especially when used after a slightly drying soap like Mud Flats, and it never feels greasy or too heavy.

Now, a couple of issues others have mentioned: It definitely does "melt" pretty quickly. I forgot to try cutting it up into chunks to use, so I'll have to try that next time, but I can say it definitely helps to turn off your shower when applying this. I usually go through my whole routine with face and hair and body washing, and then cut the water and use You Snap the Whip. It spreads wonderfully just using the water on your skin and doesn't seem to melt as quickly. I usually just swipe it across general regions, put it back in the tin, and then spread it around and work it into my skin really well. It does create a bit of a mess in my shower, but it's easy enough to rinse away once you turn the water back on. Additionally, I also noticed the charcoal residue sticking to my skin a bit (especially around my underarms) but I've found the more time I spend rubbing it into my skin before I rinse, the less seems to stick.

Comments about You Snap The Whip Body Butter:

yes, this product can get messy. yes, you might have to clean up your bathtub after you use it (is that necessarily a bad thing?) but honestly, if you have problem skin...this product really does help. and it will make cleaning your tub after worth it.

i don't think this is for everyone, as it IS quite exfoliating, and if you have extremely delicate skin, i can see it being a bit scratchy. but the charcoal does what it's supposed to do, and the scent is lovely. it's not going to moisturize you like buffy does, nor will it scrub calluses off your feet. but if you have KP, or a body breakout, or even just want to feel extremely clean...give this a try.

just make sure to store it properly, as it does tend to melt quickly. cut it into smaller pieces to keep the bulk of it dry, and if at all possible, don't use it directly under the water. it's not going to last forever, but if you make an effort, you'll get longer use of it!

Comments about You Snap The Whip Body Butter:

I love the smell of you sanp the whip. I wasn't sure it was going to smell good because of the charcoal but i was pleasantly surprized. It will get all over your tub, but its easy to clean up. my skin feels so soft after using this, and thats saying something considering i have KP. The only downside is how fast it melts! only a few uses before the bar is gone, if i could find a way to make it last longer it would be the perfect product.

Comments about You Snap The Whip Body Butter:

I can't wait to buy this again. I was totally charmed by it's sort off berry bubble gum scent. But what is even better is that it has just the right scrubby-ness to moisturising oils ratio so you don't end up with raw skin or covered in grease!

Comments about You Snap The Whip Body Butter:

I can't say enough nice things about this body scrub. Hop in the shower, rub this bad boy over problem areas (oily patches, areas prone to break-out, bumpy bits), rinse, and boom - problem solved! The rough charcoal banishes bumpies and oil, and the cherry scent left behind is to die for, and not at all overwhelming or greasy. Further, while I sometimes break out after using some LUSH body bars, this is certainly not one of them. Only downsides are the fact that this bar (with intensive use - it was the week of my wedding and I wanted clear, perfect skin) only really lasted about a week. Also, the charcoal will leave a ring around your tub or black marks in your shower if you don't rinse it off well. Not a deal-breaker, just something to know in advance. That said, this is hands-down my favorite body bar in the LUSH catalogue - my skin never behaves better than when I use it consistently.

Comments about You Snap The Whip Body Butter:

So I was a little silly using this the first time, I did not think about its color. I usually take a bath, use the sugar scrub, rinse off in the shower and then body butter. This body butter is black, and it goes on so smoothly it almost lathers. I had no problem rising it off, just felt silly, so remember, it's black!! I love that my skin had no trouble absorbing this butter, but it was also very moisturizing.
