Re: LUSH!?!? Please peeps explain...

Okay so I'm going to swallow my words because I just purchased some products from Lush and they are not bad at all. I still don't care for their bath products because I'm just not into body products but I bought a couple of their face products and got some samples as well and I'm liking it! I don't care for them being "natural" and all that; I don't buy into it, but the products worked pretty well with my skin and I'm going to check out their other face products. The thing I don't like though is the solid products, a bit hard for me to get used to.

Re: Lush

Thanks both of you! My stuff arrived the day after I posted this. I was just worried because I live in the US, and I wasn't sure if that was affecting things.

Re: Lush

^^^ Enjoy!

Re: Lush

I have this idea of getting a bathbomb, splitting it in half, and using it in my shower as an "emotibomb" substitute. Because the emotibomb selection is so boring. I wonder how it would work out. Obviously I'd go for on that doesn't have any stuff (i.e. rosebuds) in it.

Re: Lush

I got some Lush today as well!

Re: Lush

I've been lurking at Lush products for years but never really purchased something. Anyway, recently Lacquerized wrote about Lemony Flutter cuticle butter so I went to a Lush store and purchased it. Have to admit I adore it! I've been using it for only few days but I love the smell of it, and my cuticles do like nice and soft in the morning (I apply it before I go to bed).

And I have to admit I'd rather eat most of Lush products They simply smell amazingly!

Re: Lush

i bought a bathbomb called... Celebutant or something?
It was part of their Canadian Promoted line... It was huge, FULL of glitter and stars and had canadian flags and streamers inside. It was SO much fun.

Re: Lush

I've just recently started getting REALLY into Lush and all I can say is I'm in love! I was using cynthia silvia stout shampoo and american cream conditioner and was starting to not like them so I switched to Daddy-o shampoo and veganese conditioner. Love this combo so much more! I also got another big shampoo, another dream wash, another dream cream, therapy massage bar, buffy, and a bath bomb, melt, and bubble bar to take my first bath ever! It's was so heavenly

Re: Lush

I love Lush skincare, I have dry skin with some oily areas on my nose and chin.

I use Angels on Bare Skin in the morning, which is a really gentle exfoliator and has lavender in it to balance the skin, the I use Eau Roma Water toner to remove any cleanser traces and then I moisturise with Celestial, which is a moisturiser for sensitive skin, my skin isn't that sensitive but I find it works really well with my skin, keeping everything soft and supple.

At night I take my make up off with Ultra Bland, which is a great product, don't think you have to use loads of it, literally a tiny amount on one finger can be spread around your whole face, rubbed into the make up to dissolve it, it's gentle enough to use around your eyes. I take this off with a hot face cloth or preferably a hot muslin cloth. I then remove any traces with Tea Tree Toner before moisturising with Skin Nanny. This moisturiser is pretty heavy so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that doesn't have dry skin. Now that it's getting warmer, it's becoming a bit to heavy even for me, so soon enough I'm going to start using Dream Cream (the body moisturiser) as my night cream as it's lighter but still beneficial to my skin.

About 3 times a week I use Dark Angels all over my face in the shower (because it's so messy!) concentrating on my oily areas before rinsing off under the shower head with a face cloth. This stuff can be tricksey and leave traces of black on your face so I make sure there's nothing left in the mirror after I get out of the shower, before toning with Eau Roma Water and then moisturising. A lot of the time when I'm using Dark Angels in the shower I use a bit on my chest to get rid of any little pimples that might be lurking there too.

So that's my regime, I do use other Lush products on my face from time to time as well as shower stuff, massage bars, hair care etc. but these ones are the main ones. I'm looking forward to trying the new solid serums that just came out.

Re: Lush

I used Lush BIG shampoo today for the first time!

It does look gross, I don't like the smell - but the result is awesome!

My hair is really fine without volume and tends to grease - after using this shampoo it feels very clean but still soft and well moisturized.

I wish it would smell a bit better. I will definitely keep using it!

Re: Lush

The Whoosh shower jelly I'm using right now is so fresh and so much fun! Love it

Re: Lush

are'nt the bath bombs suppose to turn your water a dfferent color? All mine did was leave a bunch of confetti in the tub!! Never buying it again!

Re: Lush

Different bath bombs do different things - some have a lot of color, others have rosebuds, confetti, and all kinds of different things. Read the descriptions or ask a SA.

Re: Lush

I went to my local Lush shop on Sunday, came away with:

Honey, I Washed the Kids soap (my brother & his girlfriend are coming for a visit next weekend and wanted to put out some gorgeous soap for them to use)
Sexy Peel soap (amazing gorgeous citrus smell!)
Golden Slumbers bath bomb (already used, ahhh, it was lovely)
Shower bomb x2 in Up You Gets (the citrusy one) - so excited there are shower bombs now! Going to try it tomorrow.

They gave me a sample of Ocean Salt facial scrub, which I look forward to trying.

Re: Lush

Enjoy, Rachel!

Re: Lush

do it! ocean salt is soooooo goood! better than VAE

Re: Lush

One more reason to try it! I love the VAE but it was LE and I am not sure if it comes back in 2010.

Re: Lush

Ooooh, good to know! Thanks Sally.

Re: Lush

Ok, the BIG shampoo is amazing! The best shampoo I have tried in ages.

Still after a warm day and 90 minutes of workout my hair still feels so soft and clean! So soft. And I just have to wash my hair all three days if I want which is.... amazing.

Re: Lush

So I just placed my first big Lush order from the UK I got:
Happy Easter Egg (Yellow)
Aqua Mirablis Underwater
Mud Flats Soap
Mask Of Magnaminty
Dreamtime Bath Melt
Happy Blooming Bath Melt
Ocean Salt
Lemony Flutter
6 Tea Tree Toner Tabs
Dream Cream
Full of Grace Serum Bar



So excited to get this stuff

Re: Lush

I went to my local Lush this morning, they were holding a Retro weekend. I picked up -

Uluru Ballistic
Ne Worry Pas Ballistic
Hippy Chick Ballistic
Ickle Baby Bot Ballistic
Fluffy Egg Ballistic
Aura Suavis Bubble Bar
Dorothy Bubble Bar
Something Wicked Bath Melt

Dorothy smells SO good, I really hope they keep that one on after Easter. I may have also found a new love in Uluru. <3

Re: Goin to Lush

I've tried two of Lush's moisturizers so far; Celestial and Skin Nanny.

I first bought Celestial because it's marketed to sensitive skin types. Celestial smells really fresh (like vanilla and almonds) and is very creamy. At the beginning it was working really great for about a month or two, but after my skin had it's fill of it, it just started breaking me out. Bummer.


Skin Nanny is extremely thick. I'm thinking this stuff would be hell on pores of all kinds, and while it works great for under eye circles, it does tend to break me out and make me look like a washed my face with canola oil.

So while I love Lush bath products, I"m kind of scared to try another moisturizer right now. My skin is just now recovering from the acne and I don't want to go down that path anymore. I guess my skin just likes being dry?

Re: Goin to Lush

I found the "enzymion" facial moisturiser to be completely non greasy and actually helped my skin out a bit!
It's VERY light, sinks in quick, non oily, fruity earthy with a hint of fresh mould. (Better than it sounds)

I have tried paradise regained which gave me more zits than I have had since I hit puberty..

I guess like all things it just boils down to your skin type.

Re: Lush

LOVELOVELOVE. I have been using this as a night time moisturiser and it's amazing for my skin. I usually use Gorgeous from Lush which is amazing and still use in the morning (mixed with the new Skin Pigments which are also awesome) but using Full of Grace as a night serum has made my skin feel so soft but not oily at all. It's also helping my spot scars to fade too.

Re: Lush

Went to Lush on Monday, came home with Honey, I Washed the Kids and Smitten. I really love Smitten

Re: Lush

Have you tried Snowcake soap that comes out at Christmas? It has the same scent as Smitten. I've washed with Snowcake before and then used Smitten as a body lotion <3 amazing.

Re: Lush

I've done this once or twice with especially strong bath bombs and bubble bars, although they're usually not from Lush--I use them as air fresheners. I basically set them on a plastic bag on the back of the toilet, and they give off enough fragrance that it's there when you walk in the room and it masks the toilet, but it's not in-your-face.

I don't split them in half for that, though, I use the whole bomb/bar.

Re: Lush

I felt I needed to share my nearly finished first jar of Love lettuce fresh face mask.. I'm a LUSH newbie so excuse the current giant grin on my face!

Re: Lush

Anyone else as excited as I am for the NA forum party April 15? I can't wait!
