I'd really like to be able to get quite a few face masks and freeze them.

yea i heard that you can freeze them and they would last forever, im not sure if that true tho

Re: Lush

ive been using the green sugar scrub in the shower, and i really like it. i think i can get about 4 showers out of one bar. Its supposed to help with cellulite, but we shall see. i only use it in my "problem areas" as in thighs and butt region.

I also bought the pink chamomile soap to help with my body acne and it helps a lot. the only problem is its really runny and melty. I find that a lot of product gets waisted when it comes into contact with water.

Im also sampling a face mask (forget the name, but its two words that start with C). It's grey and was recommended for the occasional redness i get on my face. I really like it. No redness so far, only loveliness.


Also, the SA told me that Lush no longer uses Palm oil in there soaps which is AMAZING!!!! For those who don't know palm oil comes from trees only found in the rain forest. A lot of companies use it in soaps and other body products. The harvesting of this oil decimates the already decimated rain forest and kills off the indigenous animals (including lovely orangutans). Dove is a HUGE user of palm oil, its in almost all there products. So much for the campaign for real beauty huh? I wrote them an irate email last year and they said they were working on finding another ingredient by 2015, but by then how many more acres of rainforest will be gone? How many more endangered animals will die??

Anyway, Lush has come up with an alternative and is selling the recipe to other companies! WOOOOOTT! I LOVE LUSH

Re: Lush

Lush is amazing! I ordered some stuff a few months ago and found some real gems! Ocean Salt makes my face feel so smooth and touchable, and it smells like margaritas, which is a plus for any product! I also got Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter, which is awesome, and Lemslip buttercream, which smelled really funky so I sent it back and got Sexy Peel soap instead, which smells so fresh and delicious! But the BEST thing I got, by far, is Reincarnate solid shampoo!! It's a retro item so you can only get it online, but it is seriously amazing! The henna in it has really helped bring my hair up a notch and it smells spicy and delicious...and used with Jungle conditioner? My hair smells like fresh leaves and earth! I can't get enough of it!

Re: Lush

I just bought Dark Angels and have been using it at night for a week now and i LOOOVE it!!! It is a scrub that is gentle enough to use everday, which my super oily, clogged skin needs!!! I have had less breakouts and i think it's helping to fade my hyperpigmentation...i think this is going to be a staple!!!

Please keep me updated on how this is helping your hyperpigmentation. I just bought it, and am hoping it can help mine.

Re: Lush

I'm switching my skincare routine over to LUSH products (Dark Angels & the Tea Tree Toner), since I've heard so much about them helping with scarring and large pores. That and I'd love to get away from drugstore products that probably test on animals and contain some crappy chemicals..

The Vanilla line at LUSH is so delicious! I love the dusting powder for under my bra when it's hot out, and to keep my flats smelling nice. Sympathy for the Skin is amazing too.

Re: Lush

I just got two samples that i am loving!

Coal Face soap is great on the body. It's got gritty chunks of coal in it that exfoliate the skin and get rid of white heads and prevent acne. Ive been using it for over a week, and i have noticed less acne in my collar bone region. I have a nervous habbit of constant touching/scratching around there, and thus i get pimples there. This seems to be getting rid of that. I'm def. getting a full sized bar!

I also tried the ocean salt scrub. At first i didnt like it. I HATE the taste, and it didnt seem to help much. But after a few uses in the shower ive noticed that the one dry skin patch (on my nose) is long gone, and overall, my face feels smoother. I might ask for another sample before i commit to buying the full 30$ jar.


I also bought a body smoothie, Dream wash. It was recommended to me for a bad sunburn i got that resulted in teeny blisters. It cleared that up within a week and prevented all peeling! Woooot! I think this is a must have for sun worshipers.

Re: Lush

I'm using Lemon Flutter on my feet, nails and elbows and they are soooo soft! I use Coal Face soap to deep clean my face and I moisturize with Celestial. And I got a sample of Angels on Bare Skin which is also great! A lil bit goes a long way...I love LUSH! I think it's better to go in a store and try on products/sample b/c it's such a wonderful experience! Everyone is soo nice and down to earth

For all of you that lover herbalism -- I need some advice. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and loved how soft and clear it was making my skin. But I kind of felt like it left a slight residue on my face after I rinsed. It just was not a totally squeaky clean feeling like some other cleansers. In the last few days, I've started breaking out a bit and the herbalism is the only thing that is new in my routine. Anyone else have this problem? I know that herbalism is supposed to be good for problem skin, so I'm confused. Could it be that I'm not rinsing it off right? Or perhaps the breakout is unrelated or being caused by something else... I don't want to stop using herbalism because I loved it so much, but I can't tell if continuing to use it is going to help or make things worse.

Re: Lush

Oh man, I went on a Lush haul today, and one of the things I bought was Ocean Salt. I used it on my brother, who has nice skin, if a little dry. He has a bit of a problem with blackheads on his nose and chin. After he used Ocean Salt..not a blackhead on his face! I'm SHOCKED.

1 month frozen so far and it's going good, I froze the seaweed one, I use it once a week just use a clean spoon to scoop out some.

Re: Lush

Like the idea of freezing the masks, glad to hear its worked for you, Lapis! I can never use the whole tub in the suggested time frame either.

My last Lush purchases were The Blonde shampoo bar and Emperor of Ice Cream butter cream. I'm not totally in love with either products to be honest, the shampoor bar leaves me hair feeling a little dry and I just wish the butter cream lathered a little more.

Re: Lush

I actually live about 10 minutes from a store.

However, I will straight-up say it: I can't stand their stuff. Heck, I can't even find a product in that store that I can tolerate the scent of!

I will take Basin products over theirs any day - and Basin is cheaper, too.
