I love this bar!Great scent and not overly greasy. It's a nice pick me up at the end of the day or right after stepping out of the shower. As with the other massage bars I wish they would get a better package.

This is one of the lush products that I didn't expect much from, and omg ,i was WRONG. This, by far, is my favorite product from lush. This massage bar smells so great. It melts into my hands very easily, absorbs to the skin quickly.My skin feels soo soft and moisturized afterwards. love!

this melts easily in your hands and makes for a great massage or body lotion, but i just can't stand the scent. this and yummy yummy yummy smell more like heavy powder to me than strawberries so that's kind of disappointing. good product, just not for me. it is very cute though and if i could handle such a sweet scent it'd be a favorite.

This massage bar has a really nice scent, kind of like strawberry milkshake and honey so its nice and summery. It's fairly light and not too oily, especially compared to some of the other bars and so its nice for a light moisturiser and adds a nice shine to skin. It's quite big and has lasted me for a while so I think its a reasonable price.

This was my first massage bar purchase. I thought it was the cutest thing when I saw it in the store, and the smell is to die for. I've used it when I've gotten out of the shower and honestly I think it's just a tad bit too oily for me. I feel like it takes forever for my skin to absorb the oil. It is very mositurizing however. I'm not sure on whether or not I will repurchase.

EDIT: So I have been using this as a bath melt, and I loved it. It made my water soo smooth and moisturizing, and had an amazing scent. Well last night after I took a Lush bath I decided to use this, I used it just on my arms and legs. It actually didn't take long to absorb, and the scent lingered all of last night. I'm gonna use this nightly just on my arms and legs and I can't wait to buy another :)

The scent is to die for. I just can’t stop smelling myself whenever I have this on. I don’t know if I would repurchase though because I feel that it is a bit too sweet sometimes. Its one of those products you just have to be in the mood for. As for moisturizing, it gets an A+.

I actually bought this particular massage bar simply because of the smell. It smells so so so delicious and fruity and creamy and its perfect as a massage bar because you just want the scent all over you. Don't wish Lush had some edible products? Anyway, I found the product it self to be very moisturizing. I use it after my evening shower and it works lovely.

So I was a complete idiot and sat my Mange Too (spelling?) massage bar ontop of my digital cable box and my boyfriend decided to watch TV so ofcourse, it completely melted :-( I was pretty dissapointed but that massage bar had a "green" smell to it on occasions so I was excited to try something new. This smelt nice in the store and is feaking adorable so I got this one since I like the idea of the massage bars.

However, once I put this on, I noticed it has the same 'green' smell that the other massage bar had ! I'm going to assume it's the cocoa butter or something that is in most of the massage bars that I am smelling. It is annoying as anything! Especially since I'm not bothered by most scents, but there is something in these that just smell odd to me. The good news for me is that Each Peach ( I think it's called) has a strong citrus scent so it covers up any 'green-ness' that I might have been able to detect. So I won't be buying this one again :-(

*update*
Now I can't even look at this massage bar without feeling sick, I don't understand why either- I'm usually not sensitive to scents but there's something about the fake strawberries and cream smell mixed with that stupid green scent that is such a turn off..ugh.

Ahh! Love this. I personally use it after a bath or a shower on my legs and arms after shaving. I did not like the smell at all when I first got it, but when it melted into my skin and was absorbed, it was delightful. I guess a lot of LUSH products change with body chemistry, because I never seem to like the smells right out of the package until I actually use the product. Seriously, I would give this a try. It is really greasy (think baby oil) when you first apply it. It's a massage bar, so obviously you have to expect this. After giving it a few minutes to sink in, the grease subsides and you're left with buttery soft, heavenly scented skin. Use a towel to pat some of the excess grease if you're in a hurry.

I liked this product a lot. I ordered directly from the UK and therefore it was not that expensive.

The shape of this massage bar is incredibly cute, pretty color, nice shape. The product itself is moisturising but quite greasy right after the application. Strawberry Feels' scent is a pleastant one. Sweet, but not too sweet. It reminds of strawberries but unfortunately doesn't smeel exactly like them. ( I wonder when the day will come any cosmetics line is finally able to reproduce the real thing...)

All in all a product I'm surely going to buy again.

Ok so I bought this try out my first massage bar. The smell is ok, but I wished it smelled more like fresh strawberries than strawberries and cream. It melts pretty fast between your hands and feels oily. But after it absorbs into my skin relatively fast. I would not buy this again, it kinda smelled funny after and didn't do much.

Good stuff! Smells nice, and doesn't melt into oil as soon as you touch it like some other massage bars do. I cut mine in half to fit into my tin. It almost hurt me to do so because it is so cute. It is very moisturizing and makes my skin feel soft, yet it's not greasy. I would repurchase this one, too bad it's LE.

The 'Strawberry Feels Forever' was about 8$CAD. It smells like strawberries and cream. I don't use it as a massage bar i use it as a moisturizer. I hop out of the shower and smooth this stuff on. It smells delicious on your skin all day long. Its not overpowering whatsoever. I would absolutely buy this again! The only thing i wasn't too stoked about was its size. It doesn't fit in any of their tin containers that they sell. Obvisouly this isn't a huge deal i just put it on a plate because i use it daily. If this is a product you wouldn't use all the time i would be concerned about it getting dusty, so maybe you can toss it in a ziploc bag or something. I love that its a solid and then with the warmth of your hands/skin it gets oily - its a really neat product!

The scent smells lovely. I feel that it's more moisturizing than the other bars, and a lot less messy than the soft couer.

I used this as a moisturizer. It was so greasy. I gave 2 hours to absorb but it never did. The smell got to me so much that I had to wash it off. Even after I washed it off the smell lingered.

For the amount that the stuff melts and how quickly it can be used up, it is too expensive for a moisturizer that doesn't work too well.

I'm giving this a perfect review because well, the product is perfect in my opinion. Now that I'm using and loving massage bars and I love the scent of Strawberry, this is great as I moisturize with it after showering and dab a little Candy Fluff on with it, and that's a great combo.

I love that this massage bar is large and flat so it's easy to manipulate and just a little goes a long way. I haven't really ever been into cologne or perfume so layering with super soaps, scrubs, gels, moisturizers and powders have been what I've chosen instead and I just feel clean when I use any of LUSH products.

I use Aromarant (am on my 2nd chunk already) but found that I can really use a massage bar under my arms with some powder and I'm good to go.

This is one of my favorite Lush massage bars. It's a light strawberry scent, not too overwhelming, more soft and creamy. It smells a little like Candy Fluff (lightly) & Melting Marshmallow Moments (moreso) (my non technical terms LOL) in a way; It has that same vibe to it, with added strawberry IMO.


I like the shape, also. It's a nice big, palm sized strawberry shape, with a flat back and slightly rounded top. The shape makes application very easy because it fits in your palm so nicely, lending itself to an effortless glide. Great for massages:) It leaves your skin feeling so soft, too ♥


My only complaints are~ The scent just doesn't last long (which can be good or bad depending on what you want to use if for). Also, it feels a little waxier than other Lush massage bars I've tried; Making it take a little longer to melt, when compared to Soft Coeur, which melts very easily. But overall, it is a great massage bar; Wonderful scent, and wonderful shape (thanks, Lush:) I really don't like the huge clunky shaped ones, they are so hard to use, so this is a nice change:)


Ingredients~ Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Perfume, Coconut Oil, Fresh Strawberries, Glycerine, Olibanum Oil, Bergamot Oil, Geranium Oil, Hibiscus Flower, *Limonene, *Linalool, D&C Red 30.


Note~This review is for the North America version. Noting that incase the UK version is different in some small way. I know there have been known variations in other products, so I wanted to disclose that info:)


♥ ♥ Click on 'continued' to see a picture of it ♥ ♥ Though, it is a lot larger in person, than it is in the photo. It is the size of my whole palm, in person:)

This is one of the best massage bars from LUSH, in my opinion. It smells exactly like Yummy Yummy Yummy, ie, a beautiful earthy strawberry. It is very nicely melty so you don't have to work hard at it like with some other massage bars (I suspect they get hard when I keep them too long - I'm not good at respecting the "use by" dates). Personally I use it as a moisturizer/solid perfume and a couple of swipes on the top of my chest / shoulders and on my wrists keeps me nicely scented all day.

Oh, and it looks adorable! Like a big flat strawberry and it fits very nicely in hand.

I *hate* that this is limited edition. I went back the very next day after buying one to get a second one and now I'm tempted to get a third one. It's just that great of a product.

THIS SMELLS FANTASTIC!!! Strawberry and Hibiscus... what a fantastic summer scent. It's so pretty. I usually don't like LUSH massage bars but I couldn't say no to this bright pink beauty. My only gripe about this bar is that it doesn't melt as quickly as I would like it to. But other than that, it's perfect! Snatch this up, it's limited edition!
