^^ I haven't used it in the shower yet but I fell in love with the smell in the store! I'm saving it for a day where I feel crappy! :) LOL! Glad to hear Youki-Hi smells like flying fox - I picked one of those up too! At least I'm consistent in randomly picking smells I like! :)

Thanks for getting me addicted hehe. I bought some of my first bombs for my sisters for christmas, and got one butterball for myself and fell in love!
I went today for the promo, they were out of a lot of things but I still got some goodies. I only spent about $20 I got three green green foams, two youki-hi's, one golden slumber, three tisty-toasties and one Big Blue 'cause I had heard good things.
I wanted a lush pud but they were all gone. :(
I need to go back for some melts and a Buffy, need more money to feed my hunger!!!

All this talk about the Lush Pud...hehehe - when I went in the evening on the 26th there were a lot left at my store. I remember looking at them thinking that the name sounded funny - the word PUD just seems wierd to me - LOL :D so I didn't grab one to try! Had I known better - that it came with great reviews - I'd of grabbed one to try! Oh well....next time!:P

I can't stop thinking about the things I wanted to buy and didn't. I wish I was rich.
Bonus: When I went to the Lush store, they gave me this really awesome hand treatment demonstration. They gave me Lemony Flutter to rub all into my hands, then Ocean Salt to scrub the daylights out of them, then Buffy on my lower arms, and then I rinsed it all off and followed it up with Dream Cream. My hands were so gloriously soft and they even looked whiter. I bought the Ocean Salt and got a free Buffy, but now K wants some Ocean Salt and Buffy so we should've gotten two of each. Oh well.
I think it's hilarious and adorable that K is getting into Lush too. He's so butch-looking, you'd never know he likes all this expensive bath stuff, but he loves it. He even bought three bath bombs for himself for when he's exhausted after work. Too cute!

I ended up using half that Big Blue oceany bath bomb tonight, the one with the seaweed in it? It smelled very, VERY nice, I keep sniffing my arms now haha.
Relaxing too, but I did prefer butterball to this one. :/ I think I need to learn how to cocktail, but they're expensive to hoard up so I'm too scared to put more than half of anything in my tub.
I want a luuuussshhhhh puuudddddddd argh! I need to go back now, damn you Lushies! I'm obsessed! D:

i'm pissed. i was in nyc this weekend so i went to the store there to take advantage of the promo. i didnt realize that they didnt ring ANY bubble bars as part of it, even though they were CLEARLY marked as being part of it. nothing i can do now since i'm back home. >:(
and did anyone else have to buy 1 get 1 of the same thing? like, i couldnt buy dream cream and get snow fairy free. it had to be another lotion and another gel. dunno if thats the same everywhere.
LatinaRose
12-30-2007, 12:25 PM
^^Yup, my store was like that too. Bummer.
Yek, I :heartbeat the hand treatment. I swear, one day I am going to do that treatment on my entire body!!
Kaylinn, here's your stuff!! I know I said they didn't have any Comforter left, but my Art of Bathing gift set came with one, so I thought I'd give it to you. I have a ton of it and have no idea when I'd get to using that bar anyway. I also bought a bunch of Butterballs, so I'm giving you the one that came in my giftset. And a 15% off coupon for instore or online ;)

^ ick, i just dont NEED that much snow fairy or dream cream. if they really go back by the date on the bottles, i won't use them. i still have half a pot of dream cream from my first lush trip ever, and i also use sympathy for the skin. i wont use them that fast :( on the lush forum people told me it isnt like that everywhere.
i'm hoping that my store here can just do a return, and rering my bubble bars because i got stuff that i wouldnt have bought otherwise, you know?
i really wanna go to the store by me today, but the manager isnt there til tomorrow. and i dont wanna go both days! but they have a ton of stuff left since theyre a new store and almost all their stock was pre december, which is awesome.
i <3 using ocean salt ANYWHERE on my body, but i dont like lemon smelling stuff too much so ive never tried it with lemony flutter.

FYI, there is an ebay seller with 5 jars of Gorgeous (http://cgi.ebay.com/LUSH-COSMETICS-GORGEOUS-83-00-retail-BRAND-NEW_W0QQitemZ150200530131QQihZ005QQcategoryZ21205Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) going for $42 plus free shipping to the US at "buy it now." This is apparently Lush's top-of-the-line moisturizer which sells on their site for $83.
Thought I'd help some sistahs out! I'm snatching up as much cheap Lush as I can on eBay; this one is a little outside my budget and needs but in case any of yall want to splurge on soft skin... :)

For everyone who breaks out in zits before you get your period:
GO BUY A BLOCK OF COALFACE. Right now. Run, don't walk. Use it every day and follow with a moisturizer. I should look like a pepperoni pizza right about now and instead I look like a happy little girl. This shit is bananas.
Tara_SW
12-30-2007, 01:29 PM
whoa!!! These look really great but I can't believe you all are paying like $5 per bath bomb! Since that is the case this sale must be like winning the lottery,lol!
I'd go broke if I paid that much since I take a long hot bath EVERY single day and use a bath bomb probably every other day. I get these kits off Ebay and make mine for like $1 a piece. I also make my own soaps and lip balm using kits from the same ebay shop.
If anyone is interested pm me and I'll give you the link to where I get my stuff from on Ebay.

Holy crap! My Lush store still has TONS of stock left. It's ridiculous. Pretty much everything in the store is on promo and there's lots of stock left.
I got two buffy bars, two mango bath melts, a lemslip and heavenly bodies buttercream, three Lush Pud bombs, three butterfly bombs, three Waving Not Drowning bombs, a snowcake, and two chunks of ice blue soap (for my SO.)
And THEN as my SO was coming into the store to drag me out a salesgirl grabbed him and told him about the buy one gift get two free thing, so he said I could pick one out and it could be my birthday present.
That led me to grab three Snow Showers gifts, which contained three Champagne Snow Showers jellies, three Gold, Frankenscence and Beer jellies, three snow showers solid perfumes (swoon!), three more snowcakes, three more ice blue soaps, and three snow fairy shower gels!
Total spent....around $110, with almost $200 worth of stuff for free! And there wasn't even slim pickings! I took all the gifts apart and made up a box for my mom's birthday and there's still tons left over.
I'm still tempted to go back tomorrow and get a couple of massage bars and another two buffy bars. Maybe different soaps too. I had already bought the snowcake and ice blue chunks before the gifts so now we're swimming in ice blue and snowcake. Boo. I want variety.
LatinaRose
12-30-2007, 05:27 PM
Yeah, I'm going back tomorrow now that the Xmas gifts are B1G2 Free. I'm gonna try to mix it up tho!! I also want some soaps that I forgot (Karma and Alkmaar) and some buttercreams. I've never tried them but I figure nows the time since they are on sale!!
This sale is evil, it just makes me want more!!
Hmm, now what kind of bath do I want tonight??

Oh yeah. I just washed my hair with champagne snow showers, buffy'ed the hell out of myself and scrubbed in snowcake. Life is good. I smell glorious.
I keep sniffing at the pud bombs I got. They had a huge pile of giant ones at the store...should I go get one? Will I love it that much to use one the size of a basketball?

It's one of my favorite Lush smells, and one of the only things I wanted that I didn't get for Xmas....I'm really tempted to ask you to get a couple and I'll pay for them and S&H! Pud is yummmmmmmmmmy.

^^I didn't get any CSS either, now I'm gonna try to get some today. And I LOVE my superersized Pud. I put one half in a freezer bag and whacked it with a hammer. I've already had 2 baths with the bottom half and there's still a ton left!! I want another Supersized Pud too, I think. It goes so well with Christmas Kisses.

^^ Sounds like your city needs another store or two!! You should start a thread on the Lush forum, maybe you'll get one! I read on the lush forum that Philly was cleaned out of bath stuff first day and giggled, thinking it was you!! Poor thing, I'm sad you didn't get any sale stuff.
I'm going to another store today since all the Christmas gifts just went buy one, get two free. I'd be willing to shop and ship for you if you're interested. And if they have anything left, lol! PM me soon cuz I'm trying to go today.

I found out that we got lucky here. We only have one little mall Lush store but apparently they sold out of everything last year and didn't even have enough stock for Christmas or Boxing Day. Ergo, they ordered a fucking pile of stock and now they have enough to run the promo until freakin' March. I'm hoping the deal will get even sweeter just so they can clear out all their holiday stock. I could always use some more snowcake.

12-31-2007, 02:27 PM
Yay! I went to the Dadeland Mall Lush today and *everything* they had was on sale. No 'before Dec. 1' rule or anything! They have a TON of gifts left too, even the Lush Legends boxes. I got $235 worth of stuff for just $70.
I'm going to go back in a couple days because they were totally stocked with everything and I want to stock up/try things I haven't been able to yet. :)

I may be about to use my first ever Lush bath bomb. I got the Honey Bee but then read on the website that it leaves a funky yellow ring in the tub when you finish with it... so why not use it in a one-night cheap motel?
Gummi
01-01-2008, 11:15 PM
So, used half a youki-hi last night before going out for New Years, had a blast and felt/smelled wonderful, the glitter was subtle enough for me too. I loved it! Hard to figure out which ball I love best so far!
I also just noticed one of my bombs is a butterfly, I thought it was just a round version of tisty-toasty for some reason, maybe cuz it was mixed IN with the hearts with a few more, apparently people really messed my store up haha.
Oh well, I'm happily surprised!
I'm thinking of trying golden slumbers next, though!

It does leave a yellow ring, but it's super easy to rub off. Just use some water, maybe a little soap, and it comes off in seconds. Not a big deal at all.

I used to hate Honey Bee's color, but I love the HITWK scent. It also goes great with Ma Bar bbs, which is brown and gives you poo water. So I use them together and keep it dark with one candle :)

Things I learned today:
1. Don't scrub your face too hard with the business end of the Coalface bar. OUCH. I have burning stinging patches on my face now and I had to add moisturizer, but then the moisturizer hurt. I know it'll heal up by morning but it burns! That grit exfoliates extremely well so don't scrub with the bar itself.
2. Honey Bee is meh. It made the water all slippery-silky and I liked that, and the smell is glorious. However, the smell disappears in five minutes or less, and then you're left in a huge tub of what appears to be infected dehydrated urine. Good news is that it moisturizes well and a bit of the pleasant aroma lingers on my skin, but I don't think I'll buy that one again. Looking forward to using some of the better ones!

I only like Honey Bee with Ma Bar. I need the bubbles to cover up that pee water and Ma Bar helps keep it scented longer.
OH!! My favorite new cocktail is Big Blue + Floating Island. It is a vacation in the tub. Big Blue makes the water look like the Caribbean Sea and the whiteness of Floating Island gives it the appearance of soft waves. And it smells great!! I put my big blue in the foot of a stocking tho, the seaweed bits are gross to me. But this is my favorite bath right now, so beautiful and relaxing.
