Lush

[dirtygirl]

Hi Ladies!!!

I'm soooo glad i found this thread!!! I, too, am a very big lush fan, and i can't believe no one has yet mentioned FRESH FARMACY!

I have extremely sensitive skin. I rarely wear foundation (just light pressed powder) because it almost always seems to make my face break out.... until i found Fresh Farmacy It finally curbed my breakouts!! It doesn't leave my skin feeling either slimy or cakey or dry or anything. It has become a PERMANENT staple in my beauty regime!

Coal Soap is good for my face, too. It really works well on my boyfriend, though.

I have tried the Celestial cream, but there's something in it that makes me breakout Which is sad because I paid about 20 bucks for it =/ Hate when that happens...

My favorite mask, which does wonders for my skin is, surprise surprise, Cosmetic Warrior! It is FANTASTIC! I also use Catastrophe Cosmetic, which is nice.

My shower gels are:
FREEZE - oooo love it.. you know that minty feeling your mouth gets immediately after you brush? imagine that over your whole body.. it's SO refreshing!!
Happy Hippy - It's a really lovely grapefruit scent. I love grapefruit.

I've tried Flying Fox, and it's not so bad either, but I wouldn't buy it probably. I just use it when I got to Pimptress's house. hehe (she is a big lush fan, too, and turned me onto it!)

Dusting Powders:
Candy - It smells so sweet and good. My boyfriend loves it on me! It really helps to keep me fresh, especially in the sweaty, gross summer heat.
Sexy Underwear - NEVER put underwear on again without it! Especially useful during periods. My boyfriend hasn't complained The scent is truly lovely.

Soap Bars:
Rock Star - It smells like sweet, pink candy. I'm crazy about it.
Alkmaar - It's soooo moisturizing, and if you like the way Sexy Undewear smells, this is like the bar soap version of the scent. It smells absolutely delish, and it makes my skin incredibly soft.

Massage Bars:
Each Peach - So refreshing! I apply it after I get out of the shower before I go to bed at night. It soaks into my skin all night and leaves me feeling soft and supple when I wake up. Plus, the scent is really great.. a really great pick-me-upper, and blends well with the Happy Hippy shower gel. Not to mention it leaves my bed linens smelling awesome.
Fever - I like to use this after a shower when I'm going to be going out for the night. It has a really rich sexy scent that leaves my man wanting more! It also is great for when i'm feeling kinda crappy.. it always helps me to feel "sexier" hehe.
Soft Coeur - It's a gentle scent and fits well in the shampoo tin containers so that you can take it with you! It's great on hands! I enjoy it!

I have one of the shampoo bars, but i don't remember what it is.. i dont' use it anymore since I started spending quite a bit to get my hair professionally colored. but i liked it before that!

I have so many bathbombs it would be impossible to list them all...

The crumble bubble bars are great, and there's something called "elixir" or something that's a glittery blue block.. it leaves my bathwater SO cute! and if i dunk my head once or twice, it leaves glitter in my hair! voila! i love it!!!!

my best friend has the roma eau toner (or whatever it's called), but I'm not sure how much she likes it... personally, I prefer Burt's Bees Garden Tomato Toner. it works WONDERS for collecting any leftover soap, and it tightens my pores nicely without aggitating my skin.

as far as freebies go the chicago LUSH store is really great about it! they ahve given me free samples of everything I've ever asked for (and sometimes i ask for 4 or 5).

anyway, i'm so glad i found this thread! i didn't know about the big freeeee! and i just checked their website, it's still going on! muchos gracias ladies!!

xoxo,
dg

OH i forgot several items!

Oceansalt - WOW I LOVE IT! It's the first "exfoliator" that REALLY exfoliates me!! I use it once a week (sometimes every other) on my face, and it helps keep any flakiness at baY!

Big Shampoo - it really does a great job of ridding your hair of product build up, HOWEVER, if you have colored hair, BE WARE! It will strip the color from your hair I found this out the hard way and haven't used it in a while now...

Daddy-Oh - It's awesome for blondes! It works just like Shimmerlights or like Paul Mitchell's purple shampoo. If you're like me and you have light blonde and darker colors mixed, it's still okay to use because the purple doesn't affect the dark colors, but it does still refresh your blondes!

Marilyn Monroe - left my hair sooo soft and silky and smelling FANTASTIC. I never used it to lighten the color like some girls have, but I loved it as a shampoo.


ok.. i think that's it... hehe.

Imperialis has caused my cheeks to breakout and I rarely breakout, so I won't be using it again. I'll stick to lushes bubble bars and soaps.

[canadiangirl_1117]

Yeah I can't use their face creams either, they've almost all got cocoa butter and it makes my skin FREAK. It's ok on my body, but it's too rich and heavy for my face

[ruby_soho]

Aaah I just started using Lush and I've spent so much! Now it will be MAC and Lush addiction. I just bought a new skin regime in December (non Lush) but now I want to abandon it and go to Lush:-P It works well but yknow when you get excited about new stuff..Anyways I've had one spree at Lush and already own...

Haha same thing with me, MAC and LUSH addiction! I first saw a LUSH in the airport here and wasn't too impressed or sure what all of those rocks were. :-x Then one opened in the mall and I went.. I got some bubble bars and I love them. I ordered a lot of melts and bubble bars online the other day, my stuff should be here tomorrow. I'm so excited to take a bath. :-x I also got Big Shampoo, HSuan Wen Hua hair treatment and Angels on Bare Skin for my face. I spent too much. =)

Just before Christmas I was walking back to Wimbledon (of tennis fame) rail station and got a very strong smell of Lush which I thought was a bit odd as I couldn't see a store and there certainly hadn't been one in Wimbledon previously. When I got home I checked their website and they didn't list a store in Wimbledon either. This week I walked further past the station and my sense of smell was correct - a new Lush store here in Wimbledon.

[comacat]

I love the whipstick and buffy. The smell of the store doesn't bother me at all.

[Luxurious]

i love lush and i use a lot. my fav product is american cream and butterball.

I absolutely adore lush.
And I work at Lush Winnipeg, so it's pretty much fabulous.

Not to mention we're in the same mall as The Bay.
MAC is but a three minute walk from me every day.

I'm in heaven.

[jasper17]

I was trying so hard to behave and not order any Lush but this weekend I broke down and now I'm stalking the mailman for the following:

American Cream
Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo
Black Pearl
Skinny Dip
Sonic Death Monkey
Honey Bee
Hot Java
Blackberry

[laeticia]

i love my lush shower gels, bubble bars, bath bombs, dream cream moisturiser, and silky underwear dusting powder

i cant use the cleansers cos i got allergic reactions to them (angels on bare skin)

[reh]

I tested almost the whole LUSH range over the last 1 1/2 years.
There is some stuff I really love: Ultrabland, Party On Jelly, Smitten, Breath of fresh Air toner, American Cream, BIG Shampoo...

I don`t like most of the bathing stuff from them though. :/

[ruby_soho]

Today my local Lush had a party, so my friend and I went and I blew the bank!! I bought...
Heavenly Bodies
Big
Coolaulin
You Snap the Whip x2 (looove this one, had to stock up)
Whipstick
Candy Fluff
Enchanted Eye Cream
Honey I Washed the Kids
MaBar
Creamy Candy Bath
Aquamarina
And then for free I got...
3 Softys
2 Christmas Kisses
Party On
2 Volcano foot masks
Two Timing Tart
Creamy Candy Bath
Godliness
3 Irresistable Bliss
Therapy massage bar
2 Bathos
Soft Touch
Floating Island
Aaand I'm probably forgetting something. I spent $176 and got about $160 in free products. I love Lush.

I tried my Something Wicked Comes This Way bath melt - first time I tried it. It was ok, but wow, it's jam-packed with glitter, and it's the very fine sort that gets stuck everywhere. I do like the scent of this melt though.

[Sushi_Flower]

I tried Crash Course in Skincare Fresh face mask last night and it was great! My face was so so so smooth afterwards without any exfoliating (and i love exfoliating me!) and my skin was all balanced and slightly matte in a natural way and it just felt clearer.

I'm trying to use up my stash, i buy so much there but never have time to use it all! Used Candy Cane BBS in bath with face mask.

They just discontinued the glitter ones of these...check out the website, they're bright purple with pink and blue cocoa butter chunks and in the same scent! I wish I liked the scent...

[Sushi_Flower]

Elixer is also now not glittery!

[so_siqqq]

Which Lush cleanser is better for contolling breakouts? Fresh Pharmacy or Herbalism?

I hear fresh farmacy! I use AOBS but am running out and plan to get farmacy next -- it has soothing, healing qualities like calamine and won't be harsh, but it should help breakouts. I can't wait to give it a try.

*lush nerd* hahah.

[shuhoniuo@gmail]

I *LOVE* lush! I've been using the angels on bare skin cleanser for about a year now and my skin has never looked better. I also love the bubble bath slices and the shower gels - snow fairy and olive branch= yummy!

I've got my boyfriend really into it as well, he's always asking for bubble baths now!

[mspixieears]

If they EVER discontinue Angels on Bare Skin, there'll be hell to pay *shakes fist*. It really is divine.

Still using the buttercreams, using up Almond. I also bought Heavenly Bodies and Emperor of Ice Cream - the latter is the best by far.

There's some new products I would really like to try, been so long since I had a Lush haul.

I'm glad Twinkle bath ballistic is still around! Wasn't it supposed to be a Christmas thing? No complaints from this end!

[panties]

i own most of their products, including their skinline...i have angels on bare skin and it doesn't do much for me...i prefer aquamarina. =)

i've tried almost all of their soaps and bath bombs. i use their eau roma water, skins shangri-la cream, and aquamarina are my staples. i'm trying out their ocean salt but i really think it's too rough for my sensitive skin. almond kisses rocks too =)
