I was wowed by a picture from Catiebloo on page 5. I loved the rich brown with a purple cast.

That's why I usually freeze them. It takes me ages to use up those tubs too.

has anyone had any luck with finding discontinued products like the slammer shower gel or harvey bath bomb? i miss them!

im am completely loving skin drink at the moment for my eczema dry skin, really does hydrate for much longer than few hours.

major rec: mix lemslip shower bar with rock star soap.

wet the rock star soap and leave over night within the lemslip box. use the next day as the citrus candy scent is outrageously stunning.

Slammer...I'm pretty sure that's still relatively easy to find - I'll do a bit of hunting. As for Harvey, that was a special a while back for Easter, wasn't it? I think he's gone

Which isn't so bad; bath bombs aren't so nice when they're not freshly made. They tend to lose their intense smell over time, even if wrapped well, or perhaps it's only my ones

Buffy. Can I just say that Buffy is the bestest and most incrediblest thing ever?!? Ocean Salt Scrub... love. Tea Tree Water... love and Gorgeous Moisturizer is heavenly. I can seriously talk about this stuff forever. I found a little community dedicated to LUSH on LJ, ladies. I am gonna do a check it out thing

Let us see how it turns out! I started a thread on henna awhile back in the hair sub forum btw, and www.lushforum.co.uk is full of us Lush freaks - usually found chatting non stop about random stuff on the very active and busy News of the Lush World though more than anywhere else on the forum.

Philosopher - there was a shower party on the Lush forum awhile back where you could order some of the discontinued shower gels!

Herald Square, NY is having a discon party on April 6 but you have to order what you want in advance. It sounds like a lot of fun and I have been told that they give great goody bags.. yay!

Ladies.. Golden Slumbers; if you don't have it yet, get it. I cooked up a bath cocktail with a whole Golden Slumbers, a Ceridwen and half a french kiss bubble bar. I sat in the tub for a good hour and when I got out, I swear I felt like I had an amazing orgasm... all boozy and dreamy; haha.

Another good one (I did this one tonight) is a whole Big Blue (sock it!), half a Bathos and half of an Elixer. That was a great bath too. Big Blue is awesome and the scent it throws is good stuff. I also loved the color of the water, a deep blue green that is relaxing just looking at it! Not the most moisturizing bath that I have taken so I used Buffy to scrub down for exfoliation and moisture and I was all set.

What are your favorite bath cocktails ladies? Spill it!

 

[jess98765]

i've been using the buffy exfoliator for a couple of weeks now - been through 2 large bars already (this is seriously gonna be one crazy and expensive adiction) and i love it! it's honestly the best thing ever!! i'm going to lush tomorrow ...again...and probably gonna pick up more things. The bio masks sound quite good- i might look into it a bit more

 

[Eemaan]

i ahd a lush candy bubble bar bath last night after work, and nearly fell asleep in it

twas beautiful


i wouldnt have woken if i had slipped further down, i have an aversion to water on my face! (but not mac)

Same with me. Honestly, I get headaches for it.

 

[JunkaLunk]

Is it true???

Does anyone know if herbalism is discontinued?!?!?!?

 

[Lushstar]

I love Lush, mainly their skincare stuff. I have no bath in residence at university

so I don't use the bath stuff that often.

That's what turns me OFF the store! I have a very keen sense of smell - more so than other people I've noticed - and the smell of the store alone nauseates me. I could not work in there! I hold my nose just walking by. I'm sure individual products from there are good, but overall it's too much.

 

[Jude]

Some bad news from the ladies at Lush, Herald Square and the UK Forum. Herbalism is done and production on it has stopped due to some formulation issues. Unless the issues can be resolved, they will not be bringing it back. So stock up on as much as you can ladies and get used to using AOBS with a teeny bit of Magnominty mixed into the paste. I tried that the other day and the effect I got was very similar to that of Herbalism.

 

[mspixieears]

Yes, the reasons apparently for it being discontinued are in this thread, see post 3:

[PrettyKitty]

Thanks gawd, I'm not alone... I thought I was crazy! Right now, I have about 60 products. I do bath cocktails every 2-3 days.

The worst thing? The boyfriend loves it too.

 

[Throwaway Style]

Lush is really the most fun evereverever, I plan on getting a bunch of Lush before I go to Ireland this summer so that on any day when there's nothing really to do I can give myself a spa day at home

 

[sel00187]

Im also a LUSH convert! Ive been using it for about 1-2 months now as I've never found the reason to try and LUSH products before, I never really knew what it was i used to walk past the shops thinkin about the smell and how strong it was n how i could never go in there but now my bf treated me to 20 quid worth of lush i keep going back for more and more (the worst thing is theres 2 shops right by me about 10 mins away so i have to limit myself) anyway my faves are:

buffy the backside slayer: how amazin is this?!
the strokes
ocean salt
skin drink (i find it a bit greasy but after its sunk in its fantastic!)
honey i washed the kids bath bomb (i got it as a freebie and love it!)
lite lip (my lips stay smooth and moisterised for longer than any other lip balm ive tried!)
cynthia sylvia stout

and ive bought a bath ballistic the golden slumbers one im gonna use it the night before my exam. does anyone no if its any good? the woman in the shop said the parents come in and rave about it.

 

[mspixieears]

Golden Slumbers...ooh that sounds nice! I haven't tried it so I can't really say what it's like. What is it supposed to be scented with?
