I bought one for my husband and I think he liked it but found it a bit of a pain to use, and lost quite a bit of it down the plug hole :(
my husband hated it too, said it was like blood clots :shock:

I really want to try the Okra shampoo and conditioner and one of the buttercreams. Regular soap and bodywash makes my skin really itchy...buttercream for my skin sounds nice!

The shipping to here is killer though and is a big reason why I really can't buy much from them. But they make up for it with free samples! I love free samples, lol! I'm going to Boston soon and there is a Lush store there, I'm saving up a whole bunch of money so that I can go on a mini-spree there. It will be my first time in a Lush shop and not buying it from online.

I use Fresh Farmacy and I don't have a hard layer of anything on mine. The whole thing is just the cleanser. Though, I'm almost out of it and I forget what it looked like when I first got it.

I lovelovelove how Coalface smells. It makes me sad that I can't use it every time I shower, but if I do my skin will dry out pretty badly. ;_;

Breath of Fresh Air toner is a new favourite of mine...I wash with Coalface, tone with BFA, then moisturize.

Oh, and I'm a complete Potion lotion addict. Since it comes and goes in the shops, I have two bottles in the back of my fridge as my "emergency stash" :oops:

I want to try washing my (real) dreads with lush (hand)soap (or a shampoo bar).
Does anyone have any experience with this? Or even used it to wash hair with extensions in, when you took the extensions out, was there residue left?
Preferably nothing with conditioner in it, even soap that has left your hair dry-ish would work well for my hair. Anyone have any suggestions?
I know I should just go in and ask for samples, but I'd like to have an idea of what not to get.

Oooh, lush is the best!!!

I don't however, own anywhere near as much as you guys. most of the stuff i get lasts for one bath. however i have stuff that i stick to:

Rockstar soap - awesomely awesome
honey i washed the kids - for my little boy, but last time i got it i think he'd used it all within about a week!!!
Karma soap, infact he whole karma range!
the lemon exfoliater one
razorantium

i love the bath bombs - i like to try different one all the time, but my faves are always packed with glitter - drives my other half crazy!!!

i got a soap recently - called godmother & it lives in my kitchen, cos the label said that 80% of us wash our hands with washing up liquid & to use godmother instead. so that's where she lives!

Oooh, & whenever christmas in upon us the selld an awesome one, i htink it's called tutti frutti or something - i wanna but the whole thing - it's bright pink with moons, stars & glitter in it!!! :mrgreen:

Haha I LOVE that man.
Are you going to see him on his spring tour??

Oh yeah, what's this about a free £100 gift box from Lush?! Sounds too good to be true!

I will list my very small Lush collection (I don't have the cash and mostly buy stuff for presents) but I have got a long list of essentials to buy when my student loan comes in!

I asked them in covent garden when they had none on display, and she said they weren't doing it any more... I suspect once your one gets through the current batch it won't be back.. hopefully I misunderstood and they were just out of stock??

I really like them =) Never use them on my temples though....

I tend to use them just on my neck/wrists as perfume when I don't want to waste my actual perfume day-to-day.

I have 'flying fox' [like the shower gel] which is quite sweet and sexy smelling, and 'woosh' [like the shower jelly] which is lovely and refreshing ^^

The scents stay for ages so you don't need much.

I bought the Whoosh one today :) It smells gorgeous, I'll have to check out the shower jelly when my Sweetie Pie runs out.

I also bought today:

Herbalism
Breath of Fresh Air toner (Oh my God, it smells like Gin & Tonic!!)
Shark Fin soap
Love Lettuce

and I got a free sample of the Therapy massage bar and H'suan Wen Hua conditioner :)

I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed with the 'Vanishing Cream' as people on here really convinced me it would work on oil control.
yes, it has made my skin SO soft & shrunk my blackheads on my nose slightly, but I still get pretty oily :(

Give it time doll. it took about a week and a half - two weeks on mine. & I've really noticed a difference now that I'm not using it [due to lack of funds].

oh i have another question for all you lush lovers
my bf has scalp problems (major dryness and itching, a little dandruff from all the scratching) and psoriasis
he has tried different medicated shampoos and oil treatments which havent done a whole lot to help so i thought of giving the soak and float solid shampoo bar a try
does anyone have any experience with this item or know anyone who has used it? does it work? is it worth giving it a whirl?
thanks in advance
