Pros: Lather, clean feel, mint smell (when wet)
Cons: Smells like Vick's VapoRub (while dry)
The Bottom Line: Don't let the dry smell fool you...Ice Blue left me feeling clean and minty.

| cmaw63's Full Review: Lush Ice Blue Soap |
Remember when you were little and your mom swiped Vick's VapoRub under your nose and on your chest when you were stuffed up from a cold? Then you know the smell of my LUSH Ice Blue Soap.
Does the Ice Blue experience get better or worse...
LUSH Ice Blue According to LUSH
An electrifying, intense blue soap. The sea salt will purify and the peppermint will leave your skin tingling all over. Great to use in the darkness of winter and the stickiness of summer. It awakens and refreshes all that it touches.

LUSH Ice Blue According to Me
At $4.95 for a 3.5 oz. chunk of Ice Blue, it is one of the cheaper items LUSH offers. I like mint scents, so bought my Ice Blue while at LUSH Watertower in Chicago.
While, in the store I must have been overcome by all the aroma's of the open displays...when I got Ice Blue home and took a good whiff of it all I could detect was an odor of Vick's VapoRub. Oh well, I had spent money on it, I was trying it.
I cut a sliver of the soap off of my chunk and jumped in the shower with it. There I stood with hot water, steam and...could it be?....mint. Once I started scrubbing with Ice Blue, it gave up the scent I had hoped for...slightly minty without being overpowering.
What about lather you ask? Lots of it! I wrapped my sliver in my bath scrub and went to work, leaving trails of bubbles all over. Ice Blue rinsed off well leaving no gritty, filmy feeling. Between the great lather, smell of mint and the slight scrubbing power of the sea salt, I felt clean. While, it didn't moisturize my skin at all, Ice Blue didn't dry me out as I was concerned the sea salt might do.
Finally, I have found a LUSH product that I will re-order. Not any time soon, though...my inexperienced LUSH buying self bought a HUGE chunk, almost three times the 3.5 oz. standard bar. Good thing I like Ice Blue!
