Re: Any LUSH lovers? Need some recs please!

Does LUSH sell smaples? i am really interested in trying a couple of skincare products but dont want to dump a bunch of money and not love it since they arent cheap.

Re: Lush

I keep hearing about Lush and I'm intrigued to try. Even though they're handmade and natural, I'm hesitant to purchase. I'm ultra picky when it comes to my soaps and skin care products because my skin is SO sensitive. I break out very easily AND I have eczema on top of that. To any body with sensitive skin, are their products harsh?

If you are sensitive to fragrance you may not like LUSH products as most items are quite strongly scented, however the fragrance is natural so shouldn't irritate your skin; maybe just your nose! I also have eczema and get on fine with all their products, especially Dream Cream which is very soothing on a bad case of the scratchies! Ultimately the haircare is my saviour as my eczema is always bad on my neck and regular shampoos just irritate it more and dry out my scalp, LUSH stuff doesn't make me itch at all although it doesn't make my hair as shiny as my TIGI stuff.

Additionally, their sister company 'B never to busy to be beautiful' does some very nice grown up fragrance lines which I love and find doesn't sting on my skin like mainstream perfume.

If you're near a LUSH store maybe explain to them you have eczema and would like a sample of something before you buy to ensure you're not going to shell out a bunch of cash just to get an allergic reaction.

Re: Lush

I just checked the Lush UK site for the Christmas goodies, I;m a newbie and thinkng to order:
Snowcake soap
Christmas Cake Slice
Marzibain Xmas Bubble Bar
Christmas Kisses Bubble Bar


I always hear how amazing snowcake is, and since I haven't smell it before and it's LE, I'm thinking to order 3 or 4 bars just in case. Good idea or not??

I always think Snowcake is kinda 'meh' considering how much everyone raves about it. It does have a marzipan smell to it but I found it doesn't last once out of the shower and dry. My favourite Xmas product by far is the Snow Fairy shower gel, it's really sweet smelling but the scent lasts for a while after drying off.

Re: Lush

I just got back from some haulage and aaah I love everything.

I bought Godiva shampoo bar (true and tested, I love it)
Jungle conditioner bar
Angels On Bare Skin facial cleanser
Heavenly Bodies soap thingy
Youki-Hi bathbomb

I've had Godiva before and I love the smell and what it does to my hair, I've noticed though that people usually have a love/hate relationship with especially the smell. Jasmine <3
Jungle I was skeptical about, when I used it in my bath I didn't think it looked like it would be able to condition that much. I was wrong! The scent is delicious but doesn't overpower my Godiva.

Angels On Bare Skin is looove. It's like a facial scrub soft enough to use everyday and you need very little of it. Only problem might be that it smells funky, but it doesn't stick so I don't mind.

Heavenly bodies! I picked this one, the chocolate one instead of the lemon and rose on because.. well... I love chocolate. It doesn't smell much like it, I think the other ingredients are overpowering the ones that are supposed to give it that chocolate smell. But it works wonderfully. It's basically a soap but with smaller percentage of cleaning agents then their regular soap, and with more oils, so it's extremely moisturizing while still cleaning your skin. Probably good for those with more sensitive skin. I smoothed it over my legs before shaving and the end result was bliss. Too bad it only lasts me 4 hours, hair grows to darn fast.

Since I'm an avid fan of jasmine, I always buy youki hi. Imagine me in my tub with youki hi (jasmine, godive (jasmine) and Henna and Jasmine Fluff Eaze. Jasmine flower bomb, I can still smell it two days later lol

Re: Lush

I like Cupcake facemask - my only trouble is can nver use it all up fast enough due to it's short life!

As for Snowcake I'm not particularly fond of it either. Got it in a giftbox once and it'd didn't smell great plus wayyy too much glitter. Couldn't get it out of the bath for weeks.

Went to Lush yesterday anyway and got Fever massage bar, just to use instead of cocoa butter to moisturise. Smells SO good - I woke up this morning like 'yum yum'. It was lovely!

Re: Lush

I decided to give lush a try to clean my face.
I got Fresh Farmacy soap, Tea Tree toner and Enzymion moisturizer. I am on my third day today and looks like my skin is clearing up. I hope it will help my oily/acne prone skin.
I got some face masks too and therapy massage bar (dont know if its really will help wit strech marks).

Hehe I use Fresh Farmacy, Tea Tree toner, and Vanishing Cream moisturizer (but I use Enzymion on my dry skin days!)

Its a GREAT regimine, its helped my acne sooo much very,
It really takes down the oil in your skin.
I find though if you do have oily skin, enzymion might be a bit too heavy a moiturizer, try it and see, and if you find your skin being just as oily or oilier, switch to vanishing cream and it will make a world of difference, vanishing cream is very light.

Good luck! Let me know how you like the therapy massage bar.

Re: Lush

Enzymion feels very nice and matte at first, then I get oily again. So maybe you are right about switching to different moiturizer.

Re: Lush

I went to London at the weekend so of course I popped into B never too busy to be beautiful to stock up on Keep it Fluffy body spray. I love the smell and I am excited that it's the new scent for the B guest soap at Lush this season! If you like girly, rose type scents then get this!
