Lush Review: You've Been Mangoed

Hey guys, so today I'm going to do my first review of a Lush bath melt on this site. This was recommended to me by a store assistant in Bluewater in earlier this summer and for some reason I've only just gotten around to using this.


Now in some of the pictures I've seen of this product it appears a vivid orange, sadly in person this is not the case and it is more of a muted orange but very pretty none the less. Now despite the name it doesn't particularly smell like mango, more of an orange scent with a hint of mango and a slight soapy undertone that goes away once placed in the bath. It has a very strong citrus scent therefore making it perfect for summer, however it is also a very strong scent, being one of Lush's smaller melts I wasn't expecting much from the scent once in the bath but this is defiantly one of those products that will have your whole house smelling lovely. 

It leaves the bath water a pale orange color with a very milky and moisturizing texture as a bath melt should, however it also melts very quickly in and out of water so this isn't a product I'd recommend leaving in your car on a hot day, mine was only in the car for about an hour whilst driving home and as you can see it is slightly melted in some places. The only other downside of this product is that it is quite small so it's not very practical to break up and really only does one bath which is a bit of a bummer considering the price. Overall I do quite like the product even though the scent isn't really my cup o' tea I think it is a great product for those who would like an energizing citrus smelling bath. What are you guy's opinions on You've been Mangoed?

RRP - £3.10
Overall Rating - 7/10

Until next time, Love & TubTubs
