How to use


Massage bars serve double-duty as luxurious massage oil or after-shower body moisturizer. Glide the massage bar directly over dry skin; it will melt upon contact. Massage or rub the oils into the skin. As massage bars are made with natural butters and oils, take care to ensure they absorb completely before putting on your best silk pj's. Massage bars melt at body temperature, so be sure to keep yours somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight.

This bar smells like really amazing melt-in-your-mouth mint chocolate chip ice cream and I LOVE IT! It smells lovely, it's super moisturizing (as a massage bar should be), and it's a perfect after dinner treat if you're trying to watch your sugar intake. My husband and I used it as desert after it arrived and it certainly gets 5 stars from me! The only drawback is that the chocolate gets melty and it does get messy so I recommend using it with an old towel or something under you. But desserts aren't really that good unless they are a chocolatey mess, right?!

Comments about LUSH After 8:30:

Wow, I honestly have to restrain myself from just eating this. I bought this as part of a Valentine's gift for my husband and when I opened the paper wrapper and put it up to his face to smell it, he opened his mouth instinctively like he was going to take a bite! I gave him a massage with it and I couldn't stop smelling him for the rest of the night! It smells like an Andes mint candy. Mmmm! I really hope that Lush keeps this one around and bring back the cute foil wrappers! I love this product and hope to buy it again!!

      This is one of my favorite bars. It feels fresh and tingly, and really relaxing. I'm sad they do not carry this in our store anymore, though I am pleased you can get it online still. Please bring it back to stores though!

            I researched this massage bar, and after I heard "Andes mint" smell, I was so excited. Truth be told that is exactly what it smells like. It was smaller than I expected[...]but that fantastic smell was in tact. Then I used it, and truthfully it was a little tacky and dry on my skin, and the chocolate was sticky. Then I would rub the chocolate part in, and about an hour later random dry brown flakes would be rubbing off my skin. So for a special smell treat, I might use this once in a while, but as a massage bar, I'm sticking to my Each Peach.

            ...not all of it, and by accident of course. It smells almost exactly the Andes mints that she thought it was. Before she had mangled my bar, I used it right before bad after my showers. When I woke up in the morning Viola! my legs are so very soft. The only drawback to this bar is that the chocolate part will get on your sheets and that portion is a little sticky. My mom also told me to say "tell them it doesn't taste good".I'm so glad they brought this back.Good work Lush!

                Smelled wonderful. Used this after I shaved my legs and made my legs stay smoother longer.
                The only downside is that the "chocolate" part of the bar melts... well, brown. It doesn't dry brown or anything, just looks like messy chocolate until you rub it in.

                  I normally use massage bars as lotion, but I think I will reserve this one for massages only.

                  Unlike other bars I have used, it doesn't seem as moisturizing, and seems to leave me feeling a little sticky. It smells great--lives up to its name here, for sure. It leaves my skin smelling--and no doubt tasting--like an after dinner mint, another reason to save it for massage!

                  The block of chocolate on the back is a little intimidating at first. Rub it in well and it's not a big deal. I suggest wrapping the end of the bar your hand is touching while applying the bar if you are afraid of getting too messy. I also suggest alternating between the light and dark sides during application.

                    This one smells a little funny to me, but not unpleasant. It goes on a little clumsily at first, taking a while to heat up and melt properly before it will glide on, but when it's ready it glides on and moisturizes nicely. I was using it daily on my dry skin as a moisturizing bar at the holidays, and it did a very good job combating flakes and redness. It didn't make me feel greasy either. It can get a bit messy as the chocolate melts, but this is all in good fun as far as I'm concerned. This one is a keeper.

                        I got this on a whim...I mean, who doesn't like the sound of chocolate and peppermint? Since there is no Lush store nearby, I have to go pretty heavily by reviews and descriptions, and what my friend in Chicago says when he goes to the store! However, this is far and away my FAVORITE massage bar. My finace gives great massages, this doesn't get too greasy that it makes her hands slip off, and it makes me smell like an Andes mint afterwards! I will be ordering these for a long long time!

                          I'm a big chocolate/peppermint fan, so I knew I had to have this one. When I finally got it, I fell in love. It smells just like a peppermint patty. I love to use it after I get out of the bath and it moisturizes nicely without leaving my skin greasy. I'm just sad that it's retro!

                              I love the smell of this. Exactly like an After Eight chocolate. I find the darker side of this bar leaves my skin feeling a little bit stickier than normal but I love the minty scent the bar leaves behind afterwards and my skin is lovely and soft. So disappointed this was discontinued. If it comes back next time retrolush comes around, I will definitely order again.

                              Lovely! The smell is amazing, it feels great, my partner and I both love it. I've been storing it in my sock drawer and it's making all of my socks smell deliciously minty!
