^^I use a bit of Flying Fox (same scent) for bubbles, but just a tiny bit for surface bubbles. I think Youki-Hi's water is really pretty, so I don't want to cover it up too much, just a light foam.

Sunday, are you still interested in that supersized Pud??

I found my new favorite bomb but I don't know what it is? I looked at the web site and I think it is the silver cloud. It turned the water green with little sparkles, plus half of a bathos. It was great!

Sounds like Silver Cloud, did it have like a core of sparkles?
My husband looked like a disco ball for a week after i used that one. I kept teasing him about hanging out with too many strippers.

I fisrt discovered Lush in London years ago. At the time there were no stores here, just mail order. I heard a few years ago that there were NA stores, and I just got around to a store. I like more subtle scents. I picked up:

Waving not Drowning
Twinkle
Sex bomb
Think Pink
Floating Island
Creamy Candy Melt
Mmm Bath Melt
Blue Skies Bubble Bar
Hot Milk BB
King of Skin
Schnuggle (discontinued, I got the last one)

I should have picked up a few butterballs. They were my fave. I guess I'll just have to go back.

Experiment: two chunks of Haagen Bath and two chunks of Lush Pud. Soap: Honey I Washed the Kids.

Pros: Very moisturizing and my skin smells spicy sweet.

Cons: Not noticeable fragrance in tub and water just ended up looking dirty. The first could be because this wasn't a full dosage of bombs.

Verdict: I'd probably buy all three again--definitely HIWTK--but I'd mix them differently and for sure use more of them at a time.

i've noticed i get very disappointed in my baths if there is not a full bomb and it doesn't turn a pretty color.

I am going to take a sexy bath tonight with CLBoy.

I want to use a Butterball for slippery sex, and something else. Should I go with Sex Bomb? The other two I have are for sleepines: Golden Slumbers and Waving Not Drowning.

Suggestions?

I don't know what it is about this one....but the scent made me feel soooooo sexy. It might be my favorite scent out of all the Lush stuff.

Kat, you should do Sex Bomb and I'd half the Butterball, but you can use the whole thing if you want. I'd half it so I could use the other half later with my other baths.

LC, Youki-Hi is one of my favorites, so sexy.

Fortunately, lizlizliz got me 2 Butterballs. Yay! I'm so excited, now I need to get my ass up to the boy's house. He has the garden tub. I want to just stay here and keep it to myself, but I also want some dick, lol!

Mine too! I wuv it ever so much. I think it's the color (orange is my favorite color) and the sparkles, but the smell is really sensual. Which is funny because the first time I smelled karma, I didn't like it one bit. Grew on me mighty quick.

And I LOVE that mango melt thing!!! Aren't you just supposed to drop the whole melt in your bath like you do the bath bombs? Just making sure I did it right...lol...

LatinaRose
01-13-2008, 10:38 AM
I usually half the melts and cocktail it with something else. I've been wanting to try You've been Mangoed with Avobath.

Ok, does anyone ever feel like they have TOO MANY choices?? I spent about $300 during Clean Slate, so you can imagine how much product I now have. It's so hard to decide sometimes!!

Gimme some cocktails for MMM if you have them, I think I want to use that tonight.

Also, I have a few coupons for 15% that came with the Xmas gifts that I'd like to send to some SW'ers. The online promo code is "giftforyou08" and can only be used once per account, so if you order online, don't forget. You can use as many coupons as you like in the store and I'm not Lushing that much by the time they expire (March 15), so they should go somewhere they will get used. Oh and you can't use the coupon at Macy's locations, only freestanding stores.

So if any Lushies who live near stores would like a coupon, pm me your address and I'll send ya one ;)

Sorry, I know it's been covered before, but what's the order of operations if you want a bomb, a bubble bar, and a melt all at once? I know if you do it in the wrong order, the bubbles dissolve or a giant anvil falls on your head or something, but I can't remember how it goes.

haha, however you want! i used to do bubbles first, and then toss in the bomb after the tub is filled, but now i toss in the bomb while the tub is filling up to soften the water and get better bubbles. and a melt, i wait til i had the bubbles for a while because melts are bubble killers.

nope. youki hi is very floral and karma is super different. maybe they smell the same because of the way they were packaged or something? but theyre very diff scents. i dont know how to describe karma though!

Sorry, I know that was really long, but I figured I'd post the whole thing since others will probably want to see it too, but might not bother clicking the link.

Here's the link if anyone wants it:



Karma and Youki- Hi aren't the same scent but they would compliment each other nicely in the tub I think.

*jaw drops* Holy moly! Thanks, LR!

And Britt you're probably right, it had to be the packaging blending their smells together. I think I was looking at the Flying Fox ingredients, Karma seems to be totally different. D'oh! Oh well, the important thing is, I likes it.

Green Green Bath of Foam made my water so pretty! <3

http://www.airdrawn.net/%7Eevilgummy/lush7.jpg


I found out, I don't like Golden Slumbers at all. :/ Maybe my bomb was bad, but I had no glitter I could see in the water, the little twigs were ok but stuck to me, and the scent went away in the water. I didn't feel very sleepy after, either.

I need to go pick up some Karma, Marathon, butterballs and blackberry bombs soon, too. My store is having a disco party on saturday, I'm excited to see what it'll be like! (And it's an excuse to get some stuff muahahaha!)

SundayMorning
01-13-2008, 07:50 PM
Tonight the Hubby and I had a Butterball bomb and Candycane BB bath. Just the two sample chunks of Candycane (maybe 2/3 of the bar total) were enough for a good amount of bubbles. It smelled nice but again, not as strong as I'd have hoped. Same with the Butterball. I'm also really dry afterwards, which is disappointing. I have two samples of MMM but I was hoping to save those for a pink bath extraordinaire. I'd love some Floating Island or Mangoed but no go on the samples. Wah!

Next time we bathe together, I'm trying my Green Green bath of foam! That looks lovely and I think it'll smell soooo nice on my Hubby.

Gummi
01-13-2008, 11:12 PM
It did smell great! Very strong, and I guess you'd call it foresty maybe?


That's weird about the butterball Sunday, I've taken two baths with only half a butterball on it's own, and could smell it good and felt all smooth and soft after. Maybe the bomb was old, or I don't know, how big is your tub? :/

I think I'd be irritated if that happened!


Oh, I did tisty-toasty tonight, and for a bomb I thought I'd hate, it was pretty nice. I liked watching the heart fade away and the roses come free, and they were cute little things. Water smelled ok, not too noticeable, but I wasn't keen on the scent originally so I guess it worked out good.

I took photos, I'll post them ASAP!

02-05-2008, 12:31 AM
Mmmm, I am now addicted to Lush! Tonight I used a Twinkle bomb and 1/2 of a bathos bubble bar.

I'm sad because I used the bubbles first, and then when I put the bomb in (after the tub was full) I couldn't see if it changed the color of the water or anything :( Boo.

Anyway, I washed with Rockstar soap and buffy-ed. I didn't think I was gonna like the buffy because I didn't like the way it smelled, but it was FABULOUS for my skin. I'm all soft and yummy smelling. :)

Oh! Heh. Well I don't feel so bad then. What order do you cocktail yours in Britt? Bombs after tub is full with bubbles? Before?

I'm officially addicted, boy is now sending me a text every night at work asking which flavor bath I'm taking tonight. Haha.

i add bubbles and throw in the bomb both while the tub is filling up. if i want to see the bomb on its own, i use it on its own. im not sure how else you could get bubbles if you didnt put them in while the tub was filling (unless you have jets) :-\

I just did 1/4 Karma BBS, 1/2 Floating Island, washed with Alkmaar, and conditioned with American Cream. I was also just lurking around on their forum. God forbid I like anything without getting completely nerdily obsessed!

Someone should alert lush to all of these threads on this forum about it. Then maybe they'll make us a special stripper-themed product. Some kind of body butter that is not too buttery for floor-work-butt, maybe, with baking soda and tea tree oil and some kind of heavenly perfume... they can call it "Lapdance."

Yeah, that's kind of what I figured. Oh well, I like bubbles :D Thanks!


And, I found the first item that I don't like. The waving not drowning bomb. I'm surprised I didn't like it, because it was one of the few scents I liked in the packaging, but I was not a fan once it was in the water. I think I took a 10 minute bath. I think I was allergic to something in it too, I was kind of itchy :-\

They weren't free; some sellers on eBay will sell lots of samples. I purchased two lots from one seller; it ended up being almost 80 samples of soaps, bombs and bubble bars for about $36. (They've upped their rates a bit since then, sadly.) I just figured that I'd start with the small sizes and see what I liked, and THEN spend top dollar on the full size ones!

Why am I so ignorant? Someone tell me what Lush pud is!!

It's one of their holiday bath bombs. It smells spicy, like almonds, oranges and cloves. I'm with PV on the analysis--I love how it smells but it leaves diarrhea water and lots of little cloves floating around. Not pretty. But very yummy smelling and mixes well with my favorite holiday soaps.

i found something i don't like either
Lush pud
It made my water this ugly dirty brown color with brown floaty bits.
It smelled good but looked like i was bathing in sewage. Too bad i have the huge one, maybe i'll give it to my mom lol.

oh yuck.. never use it alone! if you cocktail with christmas kisses though.. mmm.. the water is like a spicy cinnamon color.

Sunday... what a great idea. I never thought to check ebay.

I ordered one of the lush kits for a gf for her birthday and had it sent to her work address. Unfortunately, they are delivering on Saturday :( I want her to have it NOW!

I don't even know if she takes baths but I love my Lush so much I had to share it with her.

Oh. Mah. Gaw.

I just tried Comforter. :drool:

Rich pink water, fluffy fragrant bubbles, silky water... I put a third of the Comforter in with a half a Floating Island melt and drifted off into orgasmic Lushy goodness. I wanted to shave with the Alkmaar but I was too tired, so I just scrubbed clean with the Coalface and hopped out. I'm gonna go pass out now. But oh man, Comforter is the shizznit. That Floating Island is pretty damn fine too!

The Lush store in Portland is on my way home from work. This is not a good thing at all.
