To be truthful, I'm kind of afraid to try something or more like anything new on my hair lol. I've had some bad experiences and I like to stick to what I've been doing since forever with it.

What are the main differences between reg. hair dyes and henna besides the chemicals?

Re: Lush

When my current TBS cleanser runs out I'm thinking of getting something from Lush but can't decide between Coal Face, Herbalism and Fresh Farmacy. I hace combination skin and my t-zone get's quite oily and I do have break outs on my t-zone also.

(for reference I have the same skin as you, combination with tzone oil and occasional breakouts in Tzone.)

I use all of them and I love all of them.
I have all three in my bathroom at any given time, because they all do different things, so its nice to have the choice. Fresh Farmacy is very soft and silky, Coal Face is slightly more rough but still soft, and Herbalism is more of a light exfoliator for days when you have a lot of excess oil and dirt and breakouts.

I also use Ocean Salt as my twice a week exfoliator, which is a great product - exfoliates everything you'd want it too.

All of the products you mentioned are GREAT, I use Fresh Farmacy as my everyday cleanser, and then substitute the other two a few times during the week when I want a more exfoliating clean.

When you go to buy one, ask for a sample of each of the other ones

Re: Lush

I'm not sure if you can get samples from Lush here in Finland, anyways I'm ordering the stuff from UK since it will be cheaper even with the shipping than buying in straigh from here. I think I'm gonna go with Fresh Farmasy an maybe also with Herbalism

Both great choices, I think you will be very happy with them.

Re: Lush

Re: Lush

I feel I'll be going to Lush tomorrow on my lunch break, pick up a few things. I'm almost out of Marilyn so I might try another of the hair mask type products, same for Buffy and Kings of Skin and also might get a fresh face mask. I used to buy them all the time but then I stopped and I'm not really sure why. Hopefully someone instore can advise me on the one best to suit me. I like the recycling idea they have going on at the moment, don't know if the US does it too but if you return 5 empty black Lush pots you get a 75g fresh face mask free. They can be any size pots and apparently it will be a permenant offer. Me likes the sound of that!

Heiaken if you ever want a Lush UK CP or a MAC CP for that matter I'm more than happy to help. Always like to save someone a little money, as others have done for me in the past!

why didn't you just return them?

Re: Lush

We can't return opened things in France, we can only exchange. And with that smell... i didn't want to get anything else.

Natalie is an awesome CPer, she got me London Life lipstick last year

Re: Lush

Thankyou! I feel like a seasoned pro CP'er now, I've done so many of them, even when I've been in the US! But really I go to all these stores so much, because they're all very close (I work in the same department store as my local MAC counter and Lush is like 5 minutes walk) it's not very difficult for me to pick up a few extra items for other people.

I can't bear the overpowering smell either, I have to give the store a wide berth when I walk past it as I find it choking!

Re: Lush

I visited the local Lush Cosmetics store & was give several demos.

I fell in LOVE with Buffy! An all around WONDERFUL body butter that exfoliates like a DREAM!

Is it worth the $21.35 (large)? YES! Just use a little at a time! Recently, I found a Lush Cosmetic Reviewer on Youtube: YouTube - Buffy - Lush body butter (lushbubbles). This is the specific link to her review of Buffy!

Another AWESOME product has to be 'Angels on Bare Skin' Cleanser!

ALSO, Leesha (aka. xsparkage from YT) does a very quick review of some of her favorite Lush products: YouTube - Review: Lush Cosmetics
HTH! Good Luck!

Re: Lush

Oh my gosh, I LOVE Lush. My Sister in Law gave me a gift box 2 Christmasses ago and I've been hooked ever since. I had a little haul on Friday in fact. Some favourites are: 'Yummy Yummy Yummy' shower cream, 'The Comforter' bubble bar, 'Rockstar' and 'Sultana of Soap' soaps, all of the bath bombs

'Buffy' body butter (abrasive but amazing), and 'Cupcake' and 'Mask of Magnaminty' face masks (Cupcake has the most gorgeous chocolatey smell).

I've got Sweetie Pie shower jelly to try. I've never used a jelly before but the smell of this one is fab. I just want to eat it

As we were walking around the shopping centre on Friday, I kept sticking my head into the bag and having a good old sniff

I love the smell of Lush, well, my local one at least. The bigger stores tend to be overpowering I think. I love their recycling policy too, and the girls in my local store are fab.

Everyone should try Lush at least once IMO.

Re: Lush

How does everybody store their LUSH products? [FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]I have a few bits and I don't know where to store it.. I HATE those grimey marks left by soap, and I don't even know where to start storing my shower jelly. Any advice?? I've tried little soap boxes but they won't fit![/FONT]

 

[NatalieMT]

Re: Lush

You can buy metal tins from Lush, they're square quite large and are meant for the body butters/exfoliating bars like Buffy for example, but they'd work for storing soaps and shower jellys too I can imagine. Infact if you buy 2 of the body butters/exfoliating bars you get a tin free. You can see one in missfaithys first video that she posted just above.

They're great in the bathroom because your products look tidy and stay nicer because no moisturise can really get at them.

Hope that maybe helps a little. It's how I keep my Lush stuff atleast!

Re: Lush

On other forums I've heard that if you order from the LUSH UK site rather then the US you get a better selection of products with cheaper prices (due to the exchange rate) which all is true but I've never ordered anything from another country has anyone here tried this? If so how was shipping? Thanks in advance!!

Re: Lush

I started using Lush in 2002. My favourite products are the Bubble Bars and Bath Ballistics. I also like Dream Cream but my boyfriend can't stand the smell.

A male friend always gets me the bars or ballistics for my birthdays. He has been doing that for years.

I'm confused. My jelly is in a little plastic tub with a lid, so I just stack 'em. I had it as part of a gift set though, so you may have a different container?
