I really like the smell of this product. It's amazing. I want it bottled so I can wear it as a perfume. However, this massage bar is heavy on the glitter. And when I say heavy, I mean HEAVY. I love glitter. I wear it on my face all the time. But this bar has big blue glitter that stick to absolutely everything and are hard to get off. Don't buy this if you are afraid of going to work or school with blue glitter allover your face. The scent and moisturizing properties of this bar are great. The oils in it soak into your skin and you can definately tell a difference. However, it a but of a hassle putting it on because all the glitter makes it a bit scratchy. The solid lotion encasing the glitter is quite smoothe though, and started melting as soon as it hits your skin. I had my boyfriend rub this allover my back one night, and although he didn't use it on himself at all and he washed his hands right after, he had blue glitter on his face for over a week. I had to wash my sheets due to the glitter. Too much glitter!!! They should have put a slight blue shimmer or something in it instead...

i love the smell of this!!! very crisp and clean. the iridescent glitter is a huge plus for me. i love the color (blue/purple), it's one of my faves. for me, the glitter does rub off easily and the scent itself doesnt last too long. i usually let it sit on my skin for a few seconds before rubbing it in, otherwise it does seem scratchy on my skin. i can see this lasting very long, consider it's almost impossible to use too much product. the name is cute and the price is reasonable.

This smells absolutely fabulous, kind of like vanilla and champagne, weird combination I know, but yummy none the less.
But this is not for the shy, this is highly glittered to the point that some would feel that it is obnoxious. I'm a makeup artist, so when doing things for customers or even myself its fun to use this for parties. This would be good for those hardcore twi-fans and wannabe vampires.
This type of glitter will make you shine whenever the light hits upon you. I do not suggest to use this on your face, or near your face because the bluish-purple glitter being quite chunky. Getting this in your eye could be quite painful, so I would keep this to arms and chest. I will warn you though this glitter lasts long after the next shower, and can transfer to the clothes you put on next, so be wary of that. If you do not have a problem with that, this is absolutely great, but not an everyday thing.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! The smell is gorgeous, like fruity champagne! I use this after a long bath when getting ready for a big night out and it leaves me moisturised, smelling amazing and glittering like a disco fairy!
My only complaint is it dries out fast- so keep your bug in an airtight tin!

Much sparklier than I anticipated, which was a funny surprise! At first you can't see all the sparkles, but start to move in the light and bam they're everywhere! Personally, I didn't have them shed all over my house, which was handy, but they were definitely a lot of them. Really sweet smell and nice and soft, but don't buy as a massage bar unless you are keen for a lot of shimmer and shine!

This is my #1 favorite product from LUSH. It smells so divine. I wish this was actually a perfume. This really works as a bath melt or just on the skin, but it looks amazing on my legs for going out at night. It's light irridescent glitter, not super bright so against pale skin, you won't even notice until some sort of light hits you. When I've applied it over self tanner, it gave that pretty shimmy effect. I honestly love it mainly for the scent though, it's so subtle & sweet smelling. If you're a glitter fan, you definitely need this.

Let me start by saying this: I LOVE the Glitterbug. The iridescent purple-blue sparkles that mesmerize me for minutes at a time are completely inappropriate for school or work (and thus, I rarely use it) but I love it all the same. I adore the scent. BUUUUUT the last time I used it was in April... and now it's almost December and I'm STILL picking bits of the distinctive glitter off of my boyfriend every two weeks or so (even though he never used it on himself). If I wasn't so amused by its longevity (and irrationally infatuated with it in general), I'd be thoroughly annoyed.

I find the glitter a bit over the top for me, but don't let that put you off, I am over 50 and subtle is the word for me. This makes me look, ahem, trampy. However, if you're a young chicky who wants to draw eyes her way, partying or at the beach, I would say go for it, although my DD found it a bit much as well. The glitter is quite huge and tends to fall off, and what doesn't fall off you have to scrub with a loofah. Also it is quite scratchy.

Stupid me! I thought that this glitter wouldn't be such a PLAGUE. i love glitter but not when it won't come off or go away. My poor boyfriend was coated in glitter just being near me. :(
yuck
the smell was nice, the glitter was scratchy, sticky and far too potent for me though.

Pale bug-shaped massage bar with LOTS of lilac blue glitter and a delicious decent vanilla scent. Can be used wherever a portion of extra glamour is needed by rolling it over the skin so it kind of melts and gives the glitter away. Or you just rub with your finger over it and apply some sparks to cheek bones, eyelids ... The price is absolutely ok, it comes (how could it be otherwise) without any packaging, my little fellow was just rolled into some paper (sniff)
and sits now all naked in my bathroom (I hope it won't melt away with the humidity!).Very cute product!

Of the various products I have tried this is definitely my favorite, as it is so much fun to use! It has a wonderful scent and it's actually really simple to use, you just warm it up in your hands just for a few seconds then massage it into your skin!

I was given a sample of this with a Lush purchase, and I love it sooo much! It is easy to apply, makes you feel soft and is so shimmery. However, be warned that it will come off on everything. And even after you have washed it off, you may find stray pieces of glitter. But for a big night out, there is nothing that makes me feel prettier. Unfortunately, my sample actually melted in my bag, but I'm just going to have to get a bigger one!

Yay Glitterbug! How I love you so much. I am soooo sad when I have to take a shower and wash you off. You are just so pretty!
Lush Times says that the Glitterbug "is filled with iridescent sparkles, which look shiny lilac-blue from one direction, and invisible from the other so you twinkle as you move." That's so true! This little wonder is JAM-PACKED with pretty sparkles. Don't expect to see each and every individual piece until you move. At which point you will shimmer like an ethereal fairy. And unless you're rubbing up against things, these glitters will stay on like there's no tomorrow. But I have found some errant sparkles on my kids after holding them, in my clothes, in my car, in my sheets, on the carpet, and on my dh, who does NOT like glitter. He, in fact said, "Do they still make glitter for people as old as you?" or something to that effect. I'm 30 so it's not like I'm 105 years old. But I defy anyone to tell me when I can and can't wear glitter!! I'm going to wear the stuff until the day I die, so there!
I wouldn't say this is subtle but if you want to wear glitter in the first place, why would that be a consideration?
I find Glitterbug to be economical, especially when you realize it has 3 functions: 1. As a glitter-fier. 2. As perfume. 3. As moisturizer. It's $5.65 USD for 1 oz. My fav way to wear this is on my bare feet when I'm wearing sandals or flip flops. My feet look sexy and taken care of, neither of which is true. I'm stocking up on these. LUSH, I will stop patronizing you if you ever discontinue this little gem!

I agree that this smells like earl grey tea! The sparkles are beautiful, but bigger than I expected. Just as nice and MUCH cheaper than my fave UD powders :) Overall, another hit from lush!

I love this magical little bug! I just wish the glitter particles were a bit finer. But it's great that they stay on your skin until you scrub them off. The scent is rather innocuous too.

This thing is wonderful - I put it on my legs after shaving and it not only moisturizes them, but stays on through the day, even if I do something daft like go for a swim. Dirt cheap for how long it lasts, too!

I have the Pink Glitterbug which in addition to iridescent sparkles also has pink glitter. I find it hard to spread the glitter evenly but other than that this is a very fun product. Also the pink glitter looked somewhat dark against my skin so next time I'm planning to buy the iridescent only version. The bar starts melting with the warmth of your hands. Very nice scent. Try this, it's only $3 dollars on sale.
