I guess I just didn't get it.

I would browse thier site and online forum and get an idea of a few things you might want to try and then place an order.

It's not as overwhelming as the store can be. I have been using LUSH for over 5 years, and have been to many, many stores and I still get overwhelmed (mostly about what to buy and stay within a budget)

Re: Lush

I started using Lush not too long ago, and I don't know all the face stuff that I tried so far haven't really been working well. I was using fresh farmacy soap and I started breaking out, then I used coalface and that didn't help, and I hated the waxy residue it left on my face. It's like I couldn't smoothly run my fingers on my face. Good that they were samples. The catarstrophe fresh mask didn't really impress me either.
I usually don't break out & then I switched to my old cleanser and my skin started clearing up.
I also got sweet japanese girl, and liked the way it made my face soft but I still felt a residue. I am scared to use it more now with the fear of breaking out again...

I love the each peach massage bar though! I love it's lemony smell and how it melts into oil. I still want to try the lush moisturizers, bath and hair stuff.

Re: Lush

Yesterday I had what can only be described as a 'Lush Night In'. Started off with Marilyn hair treatment, put it all over my dry hair and left for 20 minutes, cue shampoo and conditioner. Dried off my hair later and wow so soft and shiny! It was fantastic. Not a product I'd say was for everyday use given it's price but for a boost once a week it's be great. Only downside was that there wasn't really any particular scent and I didn't notice any enhancement of any blonde tones as the label may have implied.

Whilst in the bathroom I also took a bath, exfoliated all over with Buffy. Wasn't scratchy at all and due to all the cocoa butter in there it was very moisturising too. I followed this with King of Skin and again it was very moisturising, the smell was delicious too.

When out of the bath I applied Charity Pot moisturiser, again great smell and Lemony Flutter cuticle butter to my cuticles (well duh!) but also to dry areas such as knees and elbows. Can tell you I felt really lovely and relaxed afterwards, had an amazing nights sleep aswell! I guess it goes to show treating yourself every now and again pays off.

Thinking I'll probably have another nice night in like that one every month or so perhaps. I'd recommend all the products I bought for sure.

It depends on different hair... It definately doesn't last for more than 2 days but this isn't the only product I use on my hair. I use 3 different treatments a week lol...

Re: Lush

I bought Strawberry Feels massage bar today. It smells so heavenly. Im going to use it as a body moisturizer.

Re: Lush

I LOVE Buffy. I didn't get to go through all the threads, but does anyone else? I'm usually too lazy to put moisturizer on after a shower, but with Buffy my skin is so moisturized. Perfect for the lazy

I wish it weren't so expensive though. They don't last long compared to other scrubs, etc

Re: Lush

I use buffy before putting on fake tann, i spend about $200 in LUSH each time i go, for myself and my guy...I tend not to visit that often anymore! LOL!

 

[NatalieMT]

Re: Lush

I mentioned Buffy earlier on this page, it's fantastic. I love how exfoliating it is but at the same time how moisturising too. Got to love all the cocoa butter! It really is fantastic before a fake tan aswell, I got a Fake Bake one done professionally at the end of January and the results were awesome, no streaks, even colour and now Buffy also comes into it's own for me to exfoliate to help it fade evenly too.

I feel a trip to Lush coming on tomorrow actually ha ha, I want to see the new range of vanilla scented products and also all the Valentines stuff. I needs a man to buy the things for me ha ha.

Re: Lush

oooh i love Lush! the 2 items i keep rebuying are ocean salts and buffy.

ocean salts: i use this a few times a week before i do my makeup. it helps keep the oilies away and its not drying at all. my face feels soo clean/smooth afterwards

buffy: i dont see how anyone wont love this! i adore this, its so moisturising and good for those lazy days or when youre in a rush. keeps my skin smooth aswell, if you only wna buy one thing from lush, then choose this <3

Re: Lush

Whenever LUSH has a sale, that's when I stock up. It was taking a hit on my wallet. The xmas sale was lackluster and I only brought two soaps. tsk!

I still love HIWTK.

I know, right? I was so sad they didn't have their Clean Slate sale. I think I need sales or promos to buy Lush stuff. I went to Lush yesterday for my birthday, and while I sniffed and admired everything I didn't really have a reason to buy anything.

Re: Lush

I've tried a few of their products like the Toner Tabs, several of the masks, Angels on Bare Skin, Herbalism, two of the toners and the face wash stuff that looks like sushi? I thought the stuff was alright I did like that they were a bit more natural based (they still some synthetic ingredients in some of their products that don't agree with my skin) than other brands.

I have bought some of the skincare products and the giftsets and bath bombs as gifts for some of my friends. They all liked the products and were amused by the packaging and what the products were suppose to be used for.

But after a weird situation about returning a product that I had a reaction to (I have super sensitive skin which I can't help) I won't be purchasing any products there most likely. I may ONLY go back and get stuff for friends as gifts since they like the products but for my personal use I won't be repurchasing.

Re: Lush

I loveeee lush.
I got their Henna in caca brun which I have used twice now and my mother is using it too. I have really seen a change in my hair texture and a slight tint of colour.
on friday I bought 2 soaps - i tried one of them and its great.

I also had a reaction to their fresh face masks. After using it I got all these small pimples all over my face.. they went away quickly but it just scared the hell out of me and I quickly returned it.
After that I was speaking to a MAC artist about it and she said that was supposed to happen and the bumps just mean that it was really working. ?!??! Looking back I don't see how the product which was pretty natural could give me a reaction. Maybe when I get more vacation time I will get a sample of another fresh mask and try it again for a few days and see what happens.
All in all.. I love LUSH.. oh yes and I have their shampoo and conditioner too (can't remember the names).. love them and would rebuy.

Re: Lush

mmm! lush! I have the Love Lettuce face mask on right now

I would get those tiny bumps too on my face that were like red. It's dermatitis basically a skin irritation. For me if I keep using the product it only gets worse and more bumps pop up. Essentially anything has an irritation or allergy potential, it just depends on the person. I have horrible allergies and sensitives to things that most people could slather on their skin and have no problem with.

I have been curious about the henna hair products though. But can't deal with the commitment of it, since you can only color your hair again with reg. hair dye only after your henna colored hair grows out.

Re: Lush

^^you're right about the allergy.
The hennas are great.. really softens your hair and for me mine is a lot easier to style.
I don't want to ever use any chemical dyes that's why i chose the henna. so ya that's up to you.
