Honey Waffle is one of the newest (yet oldest) soaps that has been added
to the Lush inventory. According to Lush, the Retro collection is a
collection of oldies but goodies. Basically the Retro products have been
sold before, but new customers likely have never seen them or heard of
them before.
Me being sort of new to Lush, Honey Waffle, and all of the other Retro
products were all new to me.
Honey Waffle in particular caught my
attention first and foremost. For one I love, love, loved the Honey I
Washed The Kids soap. the rich honey and caramel scent it had.... I
imagined Honey Waffle would be similar, yet different at the same time.
Appearance:
Honey Waffle looks like a giant pat of butter on the website. I guess
Lush tried making it look like honey in a solid form, but for me, it
looks like a clear glycerin bar of butter. Still though, no matter what
it looks like to you, it looks delicious either way.
Appearance In Person:
Once my Honey Waffle Bar arrived I was a little taken back by its appearance.
One half of my bar of soap was the lovely buttery yellow color as seen
on the site... the other half however was as if someone plopped a giant
hunk of honey comb into my soap, creating a messy disgusting bar of
soap and actual honey (I tasted it!). The half that was drenched and
ruined from their being too much honey added was leaky, runny, and a
mess. Still though I was convinced I could use it.
Scent:
Now according to Lush.com, Honey Waffle will smell like honey and
tropical flowers. It sounded like an odd mix, but any Lush customer
knows most of Lush's soaps are odd mixes... so wrong but so right at the same time.
Scent In Person:
Okay I don't want to be vulgar here, but I have to be honest. It
smells like vagina. No seriously. It does. Vagina and flowers are indeed
the main scent I get from Honey Waffle. A total turn off for me, but maybe this soap would appeal to males?
I wondered if running the soap in water would release a different
scent. Luckily it does. When you use it in the shower you smell more
floral scents mixed with a sugary touch of honey. Still though, it is
not very appealing. The tropical flowers smell like dandelion's, only rotting.
Luckily though the scent is gone as soon as you dry up.
Pricing:
A 3.5 ounce bar online cost me $7.95, which is very high end for Lush soaps.
Lather:
Honey Waffle does not give you much of a lather. The soap is glycerin,
so the lather is almost obsolete. I will say though that the soap made
my skin feel squeaky clean.
Overall:
Half of my bar was a pure mess, the other half was okay. The scent out
of the box is pretty horrendous, but in the shower it is different and
more tolerable. Still though half the bar was nothing but a pure mess of
leaky honey, that is sticky and nasty. I ended up having to cut and
toss the entire messy half of the soap. The other half I gave to my mom,
because Honey Waffle just does not appeal to me.
Recommended:
Sorry, this one is a waste. I ended up throwing out half of the ruined
bar, and giving the good half away. This one is from the revived retro
collection, that should of stood in the past.
