You could try adding cocoa butter to your bath. Most health food stores carry it. It won't smell as nice as Lush, but it will do the same thing as a bath melt.

^^Yeah...I think I'll just get up off my lazy ass and get some more. :)
Does anyone have any recommendations on their Facial Masks? I'm almost to the expiration date on Cupcake, and I'd like to try another one now.

Also the Lush forums said you can chop up your massage bars and use those as melts. I don't think I would do that--I loves my Shimmy Shimmy!--but it's an option.
Stella I'm still loving my Crash Course. It smells so nice and fresh and nummy. Nothing compared to the chocolatey goodness of your Cupcake but still! Sooo...if you're running out, does that mean you're making another trip to Lush? Cuz after Lush trips come San Antonio trips! ;D
Teehee. :) I might be thinkin' about it...
ETA: By the way, send me a list of things you need if you want, and I'll be happy to pick them up!!

I used Buffy and my mango melt on my tummy 'cuz I thought it would prevent stretch marks...it did at first but then I stopped doing it and I got them really bad. Oh my skin felt SO NICE afterwards, though!

^^I go through phases like that too. At first it's the honeymoon phase, where you are all about it and want to try everything. Then you get a bit bored and can't be bothered. Then it all balances out ;)

I've experienced this lack of lushyness too. I think its because its so much harder for me to get out of the tub now lol.
I'm averaging about 1 bath a week instead of 3-4 now.
But i did take a youki high with mmmm mmm mmm melt the other day and i thought it was lovely! The smells and colors cocktailed perfectly and i enjoyed it (until it was time to get up) :)

well honestly I only take a lush bath maybe once every 1-2 weeks. I can see how taking a bath every other day would make one blase about it. I do however enjoy using the shampoo pucks (I have two now), ocean salt, dream cream, lemony flutter, fever massage bar and silky underwear dusting powder on a more frequent basis.

For a Valentine's gift, I went today to the Lush store and my boyfriend bought me a big bottle of Sonic Death Monkey. It smells SO GOOD!
I had the lady at the counter grab me a Honey I washed the kids sample, too, which I want to eat! :D Delicious.
LatinaRose

I think I'm going to take a fabulous, luxurious, over-the-top bath tonight to remind myself why I love Lush and that I'm worth it!!
Any suggestions??

I got to go to lush today. We got a giant block of Buffy bar. My boyfriend loves it and it has pretty much gotten rid of all his of his eczema spots.
Also got:
Creamy Candy Bath
You've been Mangoed
Comforter
Geo Phyzz
Running to Embassy
and the lady gave us a thing of the honey mask for free because it was about to expire and we wanted to sample it!!
We still have a ton left from our last trip and went in just to get more buffy but couldn't resist the urge to buy more.

Honey I Washed the Kids is the love of my life. I'm washing my skirt in it right now so that it smells like it for V-Day tonight. I was even eating it! It smells sooooooooooo fucking good, and even tastes sweet. I rubbed it into my vag multiple times trying to keep the scent on me!

Think Pink is my new favorite bomb ever. I put it in the tub last night with half a Creamy Candy melt, and I was going to add part of a Comforter bubble bar, but the water was already pink with a layer of bubbles on top so I decided not to use the Comforter after all. I love Think Pink! Could do without the confetti but eh, it didn't really bother me.

02-14-2008, 01:15 PM
confetti in think pink?
Yekhefah
02-14-2008, 01:19 PM
Yeah, it left little heart-shaped confetti on the bottom of the tub. I didn't even notice it while I was in the bath though, only when the water drained out.
britt244
02-14-2008, 01:20 PM
oh yeah! i forgot about that.. yeah, you dont notice it when youre actually in the tub.. its weird. thats prob why i forgot!

If they combined the moisturizing effect of Butterball and the color and scent of Think Pink, they'd have a winner for sure. I'd buy a hundred of those!

I thought I was going crazy when I didn't notice all the little pink things floating around in the water but ended up with a tub full of confetti once I drained the tub. I feel better now that I know I"m not the only one.

Mmmm I want a romantic Lush bath that the Hubby can enjoy with me. I have a Mr Butterball, which would be nice and would smell great with my HIWTK soap. But I also kind of want to try my Think Pink or a Sex Bomb. Or I have yummy bubble bars like Ma Bar and Holiday, and of course my two Comforters. Ahhh decisions, decisions!

Oh my god i love lush sooo much! they're such an ethical company! i could eat the shower gel they do called 'snow fairy' it smells like pear drops (do you have those in america?) sooo gooood!!! mmmm must spend lots of money on bath bombs

i think maybe they just sink to the bottom so you dont see them? i dunno but its weird!
I didnt get any samples. :( Is it only if you spend a certain amount?

Two days ago I bought the Youki-hi bath bomb, Big Blue, Comforter and Buffy. I got a sample of Dream Cream and tried Honey I Washed the Kids Solid Perfume. Today I went back to Lush for Dream Cream and the solid perfume because I really liked both. The Youki-hi was alright, not sure if I'd buy again, maybe. I loved how it smelled. The Jasmine was wonderful. It made my whole apartment smell great! I'm going to try the Buffy again tonight and make my final call on whether or not it's fantastic enough at getting rid of the bumpies to warrant buying it again. Big Blue and Comforter are being saved for a bath with my man. I think I am becoming a Lush addict too!
Does anyone use Skin Shangri-La on their face as a daily moisturizer? How is it? I just got a sample, but was wondering if others have had success with it.

I ended up doing a Jingle Spells. It smelled sexy, like incense, and the smell lasted all the way through the bath. And now I'm covered in cute little silver and purple stars! Glad I didn't get any inside mah butt! We were bathing by candlelight so I didn't get to see the color very well but overall I'd definitely buy it again (when available) for the lovely, lasting smell. Ideally I'd have a melt in there too; probably Floating Island.

I don't know, but I placed two smallish orders and receive 2 samples with each order. I think I spent like $40 on each order. Surely you could score many more samples with a store visit.

I LOVE the Buffy!
Sure it leaves you "greasy" for a while after bath, but it sinks right into your skin and leaves it feeling like silk in no time, lol.
I usually take a Buffy bath about 2 hrs before I go to work, and by the time I get to work, I am feeling like fresh new perfect skin.
I got the whole family addicted to Lush now thanks to you girls, lol!
The kiddo loves think pink bombs with creamy candy bubbles and rock star soap.
And hubby loves Coalface, and the Squeeky Clean shampoo bars, and asked me to send him some of both while he's in basic, lol!
I like pretty much all of it, lol!

I'm currently enjoying my Sense of Accomplish-Mint bath bomb and bath melt combo, straight from Scents of Style!! Smells like Mint Chocolate Chip!! I really like her products, can't wait for her site to be up so y'all can enjoy her stuff too!
DFW girls, you really need to go over to Garland and see her. She rocks!

Youki-hi is a keeper! :cloud9: Not quite as great as Silver Cloud, but I'll definitely repurchase. I haven't been cocktailing because 1) I want to experience the individual product at least once and 2) I don't even know what the hell to mix with what. Like, should I consult the website to read up on each product's scents or should I just hodge-podge toss together? and 3) I don't have a mesh strainer (YET!) to maximize my bubbles.

Damn. I must have been to excited to even notice. What a pingis. lol
Thanks LR. Next time I purchase, I will look for that. ;)

I really need to keep out of this store! But, I was out yesterday and it was RIGHT there, so...
I decided I'd try to buy with the intent to cocktail for the first time. So, I grabbed a blackberry bomb and a big ol' comforter BB. Both are things I've yet to try, the Comforter smells SO GOOD.
I asked for a sample of ice blue soap this time, and oh my god, the guy cut me a piece off that easily must cost something like $7. D:
It's way minty, but I still like the smell for the refreshing aspect. I'm on a quest to find things that will keep the scent on me for much longer than the ones I've tried (Big Blue was the longest so far, butterball also somehow stuck awhile, Youki did ok!)

[QUOTE=LoveSexMoney;1404987] 1) I want to experience the individual product at least once /QUOTE]
I do the same thing. I like to get the full effect on its own first, then I know if I want/need to cocktail it next time.
For cocktails, you can search the Lush forum or ask here ;) I'm sure plenty of stripper Lushies will have cocktail suggestions for you by now.
Oh! And all of you must try the Big Blue/Floating Island combo. I swear, its a vacation in a bath tub. Use a Sunnyside for bubbles if you desire them, goes great too.

Do you nylon your Big Blue or does the seaweed not phase you? That's been the only reason I haven't picked one up yet...and I'm in sore need of melts! Man, I have five 15% off coupons that expire in March and no Lush store around me (and s&h online will easily kill any savings I'd otherwise obtain). If anyone wants a Lush coupon, PM me your address and you can have 'em!

I told myself today that if I finished up all the work I have to do for the class I'm teaching and did not have sex with my ex boyfriend that I could go to lush and get whatever I wanted.
I got:
Flosty Gritter
Bathos
Amandopondo
Creamy Candy melt
Floating Island
MMM
Butterball
All That Jas
Youkhi-Hi
Dream Cream
So today I took a bath with 1/3 of Floating Island, half of All That Jas, washed with Alkmaar soap, and finished off with Dream Cream and Silky Underwear.
All of the Jasmine/Vetiver scents go really well with Chanel No. 5 Sensuel Elixir, which is softer and soapier than regular No. 5... so I have some of that on, too.
I stink like girl!
