I used it as a body butter, but like quite a few other people, I find it melts really quickly. I bought a body butter tin, but it sticks to the bottom. The paper doesnt hold it well, so I'm not sure what to do with it. Its minty and it moisturises well. The scent faintly sticks. However, I prefer King of Skin to this.

I got this free in a promotion pack. It's actually more fun to use in the shower than the majority of reviews lead you to believe. I don't treat it as a foot scrub, I find that using an actual pumice stone or foot file works better for getting rid of calluses. However, this is a nice moisturizing foot cleaner. It melts easily so I cut the bar into four pieces and use one piece at a time to make the product last longer. Upon contact with water, the product becomes a grainy and very gentle lotion that smells like peppermint. It feels nice on my feet. I would buy this product again but only if I wanted to do something fun to my feet in the shower.

Got this in the foot promo kit. Would have never bought it any other way. I hate that this leaves sand on your feet after use so you have to wash your hands and rinse your feet. This thing also melts like crazy, and it hardly exfoliates or scrubs. The best this about this is the smell nothing else.

I think this product really delivers. It does what it promises, simple as that! It smells nice but it doesn't feel overly minty on my legs, it gives a nice gentle scrub and my skin feels so soft afterwards. I'm taking off one lippie because the scrub could be a bit more harsh, it's quite gentle now. Although I like gentle... but my feet like it rough :D

The only thing I liked was the cooling effect of this butter. Didn't really exfoliate, didn't smell nice, and it was gone fast, maybe got 5 uses out of it, maybe less.

I like this, I use it with lemony flutter on my feet, especially my heels in every shower, I had really dry horrible heel ( eek) and this stuff helped tremendously in making them smoother and softer.

I'm surprised there are so many bad reviews for this one. I guess I'm really out in left field on it. I use this in the bath on my feet every once in a while. I find it pretty moisturizing (but my feet are not severely dry either, I just get a few dry patches once in a while, usually around the heel and ball of my foot). I like the smell too. After I rub it into my feet I'll rub my hands together to give my hands a mini exfoliating treatment and then I rinse everything off in the bath.
I would definitely get this again.

im surprised people don't like this. i get very sore dry feet and this is awesome. my bf loves it when i use this to massage his feet.
i use it dry and rub it on my sore feet and it melts with body temperature. the tingly cold feeling feels sooo nice. it lasts a long time if you use it dry.... its get for sore foot rubs and my skin is much softer. great for rubbing off dead skin.
use it dry!!

I was SO disappointed in this product. I always go into LUSH usually wanting something exfoliating if its for my skin. The sales woman recommended this and said it was just like a pedicure for your feet, and there was pumice in it, so it would be fantastic! IT WAS HORRIBLE! I paid $12.00 for something that melts so quickly, Ill probably only get 2 uses out of it (including the first time I tried it), and the smell is kinda gross. A waste of money!!

This was displayed together with the body butter which I was interested in. Naturally I think this is b.b. & the SA. which was boasting about the products said nothing about this is a scrub. To me, this smells like tooth-paste. At home, thinking it's like the massage bar, I rubbed it onto my hands, I felt the fine grits & some small crystals (salt), I left it on my hands for about 10 minutes while watch TV, & eventually all the grits disappeared. After rinsing, the skin on my hands did felt smoother, but it has no moisturizing effect at all. This is too expensive for a bar of grits, so far, this is one of the Lush products I've tried & didn't care much.

Very minty. Goes great with Fair Trade Foot Lotion. Im sorry but this has NO exfoliating action at all. I tried several different batches and they are were the same.

IMO this is a useless product. It's not very moisturizing for a feet scrub/bar...plus you can hardly feel the pumice and sea salt in it. I was expecting a much grainer scrub that can really help get rid of calluses and cracked heels (just as the product claims on their website). This also melted too fast compared to other Lush bars (i.e. Buffy). The only thing I like about this is the minty scent. Will use this as all over scrub but will definetly not repurchase once its done. There are more effective products out there for callusses and cracked heels like the ped egg.

If your feet are severely dehydrated (like mine), this isn't a cure. It's probably a good product to use in conjunction with another hardcore, heavy-duty routine, but used alone - you won't notice much of a difference. I have heels that always need help (as in, if I miss two days in a row of intense moisturization, my feet are like the Sahara) and this just does nothing for them. It feels like I'm just soaping them - the tiny (and I mean tiny) granules are ineffective for sloughing away my dead skin.
Having said that, if you don't have my issue, and have relatively soft feet to begin with, the extra moisture is something you might enjoy. The minty scent is nice in the shower, too.

I used this for both my feet and as scrub for my body. It has a subtle yet lovely minty fresh scent and leaves my skin feeling soft. The hardskin on my feet has gotten softer after frequent use. The grains in this body butter aren't as huge as in Buffy so they wash down the showerdrain pretty easily which is great.

I love minty fragrances in bath and body products, so I was immediately interested in this. The smell is great, and it is very scrubby, which I liked. The pumice pieces can be hard to wash off, but afterwards your feet feel softer and smell great. I would definitely repurchase this, especially for days when you are on your feet all day.

Hmmmm I have yet to find a tiny piece of pumice in mine...it is just a butter. Kind of strange and it melts sooo quickly. More than any other lush body butter or massage bar. I will not repurchase this useless product. It doesn't even smell very spearminty which I was hoping it would

First off, I have not used this on my feet. I bought this because I love minty fresh smells and wanted a change from the usual citrus or lavender scrubs around. I use it after soaping and rinsing the same way you would use a Buffy or Aqua Mirabilis, all over my body. After quickly rinsing in really hot water, and giving the shower floor a good scrub, I hop out and pat dry. Result is smooth silky skin that smells lovely and fresh. I rate this as one of my fave body scrubs.

First off, let me start out by saying that although I am aware of tons of alternative uses for each and every LUSH product, I bought Running to the Embassy solely for its stated purpose, as a foot scrub and moisturizer. I initially used this every night before bed for one week as per its instructions. I rubbed the bar generously on wet feet and rinsed off. This bar does nothing to scrub your feet. The pumice bits in it are too minute to be effective in any shape or form... and it is not moisturizing enough for my feet! I have to add here that I don't have dry feet so if this is not effective on my feet, I don't see it doing anything for particularly dry feet. Next, I tried using it a bid differently. I rubbed it on dry feet, put some socks on, and went to bed. I did this every night for one week and every morning, I woke up with dry feet. I was very disappointed but didn't want to throw the bar away. Finally, I decided to use it in the shower just like I would any other body butter, such as Buffy the Backside Slayer or King of Skin. Since I do enjoy the refreshing minty scent, I would say it worked okay. It would especially be nice to use during the hot summer days as the mint leaves your skin cool and tingling. It left my skin soft, however, even though I rinsed really well, I didn't feel smooth and felt like some of the pumice bits were still stuck on me. I will find a way to use this until it all melts away because I hate to throw LUSH away, however, I will never purchase this one again!

This is a total waste of money. The bar literally disintegrates before your eyes leaving a horrible sandy mess in your tub. It isn't nearly hearty enough to use on your feet instead it should be used on your backside and legs, heck I've used stronger scrubs on my face. I gave 2 lippies one for the cocoa butter the other for the refreshing minty/spearmint scent.
