LUSH List

[fairyrune]

Since I'm doing a whole lot of nothing today, I fully updated and edited the list of stuff from LUSH I've tried. I even came up with my very own rating system, as follows:

Would/will definitely buy (again)
Would/will buy (again)
Might buy (again)
Probably wouldn't buy (again)
Won't buy (again)

Bath Bombs

Avobath I liked this one, and so did Rich. It smelled at bit like lemon tea, I thought. I was nice and soft afterwards, but not as soft as after... (Will definitely buy again)

Butterball Holy moisturizing, Batman! I couldn't stop touching myself after this one. It smells nummy, too. (Will definitely buy again!)

Christmas Party (disc.) This one was just plain fun! I loved the smell, and while I thought the confetti would be obnoxious, it was actually not at all annoying. It was just…fun! (Would buy again)

Dream On (disc.) This was my first bath bomb, and I really loved it. I'm sad that they discontinued it. It went "WHOOOSH!" when I put it in the tub; that was very exciting. The bath itself was very pleasant and relaxing.

Honey Bee Yes, it does turn the water yellow. I really didn’t find it at all repelling, though. It was a happy yellow, not a gross one. This bomb smells delicious, and it’s just about the only thing I can convince Rich to let me use when we have a bath together. One day, I will cocktail it with Ma Bar like everyone says to do, then wash with HIWTK, and use my matching perfume. I will have to try very hard not to nom my own self! I KNOW I won’t be able to stop touching myself, since this bomb leaves me super-soft. (Will definitely buy again)

Waving Not Drowning I LOVE lavendar, and this bomb has it! One of the most relaxing baths I've ever had. One day, I'm going to cocktail this with French Kiss, and soak FOREVAR! (Would buy again)

Bubble Bars

A French Kiss This is, by far, my favorite bubble bar yet. If you like lavendar, you will LOVE this one! It's a little pricey, due to the fact that it has bits of real French lavendar in it, but it's worth it for a treat. Love love love it! (Will definitely buy again)

Bathos This one smells just like the violet mints I used to carry with me! It made lots of nice creamy bubbles, and they seemed to have good staying power. AND it’s purple! (Would buy again)

Christmas Bubble Bar (disc.) Smells nice, good bubbles, the glitter isn’t annoying. (Might buy again)

Pop In The Bath Got this one as a birthday present from the ValChuck. It smells super nice, made lots of bubbles, but they didn’t seem to last as long as with some of the other bubble bars. It still made for a very pleasant bath. (Might buy again)

Sunny Side I didn't think I'd like this one as much, but it's fun! It turns the water gold and shimmery without making a mess, and the smell is pleasant. (Will buy again)

Temple of Truth (disc.) I didn't get around to trying this one until after they had already discontinued it, and that makes me sad. It's almost as good as French Kiss.

Bath Melts

In the Nude (disc.) Another one I was sad to see go! Once again, I couldn't stop touching myself. I cocktailed this with French Kiss one time, and it was the Best Bath EVAR! After I got out, I just plain felt GOOD. It made me happy.

Soaps

Honey I Washed the Kids Holy lather, Batman! The scent is awesome, and it leaves me super-soft. NOM! (Will definitely buy again)

Karma Karma rocks my socks. End of story. (Will definitely buy again)

Mud Flats I use this on my face, and it’s wonderful. It makes me so soft, lathers beautifully, and smells nice and earthy. (Will definitely buy again)

Sultana of Soap This one came from Kim & Jay. The smell does grow on you, and it lathers nicely. It didn’t leave me quite as soft as I expected it to, but it was a very nice experience. (Might buy again)

Shower Gels

Tramp Mmmmmmmm…I love the way this one smells! Leaves me nice and soft, too. It’s awesome! (Would buy again)

Solid Shampoos

Karma Komba It smells like Karma, and does right by my hair. I’m sold! (Will definitely buy again)

Hair Treatments

Jasmine and Henna Fluff Eaze This stuff WORKS! If you are going to be seeing someone who is allergic to Jasmine, however, do not use it for several days before. It took about three showers to get the smell out of my hair. I’m not huge on the scent of Jasmine, but for the effect this has on my hair, I can deal. (Will definitely buy again)

Facial Cleansers

Mask of Magnaminty I've never thought a face mask was fun to use, but this one is! It's like having Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream all over your face. It's cool and tingly. Plus, it kind of makes you look like a zombie while you have it on. So far, it's doing right by my skin. (Will definitely buy again)

Sweet Japanese Girl My skin LOVES this stuff. It's a massage bar for your face, and it's got little scrubb-a-ly bits in. My zits are going away, and it leaves my skin SOFT. They'd better not discontinue this one ever...(Will definitely buy again)

Toners

Tea Tree Water So far, so good. It's refreshing, and my skin seems to like Tea Tree oil, so things seem to be working well. It may be a little drying, but I'm not really sure. (Will definitely buy again)

Body Butters

Schnuggle (disc.) I was SO UPSET when they discontinued this! It was, hands down, my favorite Lush product. I stocked up when I head they were giving my Schnuggle the axe, and I have five or six bars. That should last me a while, but I have no idea what I'm going to do when it runs out. The smell is so relaxing, and it leaves me so very touchably soft, without being greasy.

Hand and Body Creams

Karma Kream Karma. It is TEH NOMS! Plus, this stuff leaves me nice and soft without being greasy. A teeny little bit goes a LONG way, so I believe it’s completely worth the money. (Will definitely buy again)

Fragarance

Honey I Washed the Kids Solid Perfume This one smells a little weird in the tin, but it's much better on. Rich didn't like it as much as I had hoped, so I think I'll just stick with the Karma after this runs out. (Probably won’t buy again)

Karma Soild Perfume What was that thing about Karma again? Oh, yeah. It rocks my socks. All there is to it. (Will definitely buy again)

Things What I Have Tried Samples Of

Angels On Bare Skin Lavendar...mmmmm...Love the smell, seems to do right by my face. I figure I'll use this when it's too hot out to order SJG. (Would buy)

Aromarant Deodorant I didn't get stinky when I used this, but it made my armpits sticky. It was weird. (Might buy)

Coalface I did not like the way this one smelled. As expected, it dried out my skin, but it wasn't anything my normal moisturizer couldn't handle. I didn't notice any difference in my acne; my zits just kind of stayed right where they were. (Would not buy)

Fair Trade Foot Lotion Made my feet super-soft, and it tingled a bit as I put it on. It was a pleasant experience, but I’m not sure if it’s worth keeping a separate lotion around just for mah feets. (Might buy) 

Flying Fox  If you like jasmine, this is for you!  Smells VERY strongly of jasmine.  As a body wash, it's pretty good.  Left me decently soft, though I'm not sure if I'm keen on the smell.  (Probably won't buy)

Fresh Farmacy This smelled nice, but once again, I didn't notice any huge difference in my skin. I think I'll stick with my SJG. (Would not buy) 

Happy Hippy I love this one! It’s all citrus-y and refreshing. Were I a morning-shower person, this would definitely be my soap! (Would buy)

Ice Blue Soap This was nice, and refreshing! I might buy some over the summer, but there's only so much soap one person can use, you know? (Might buy)

I Love Juicy Smells awesome, made my hair fluffy as all get out. In fact, I’m giving the rest of my sample to someone else, whose hair may benefit from it. (Won’t buy)

Jingle Jelly (disc.) The smell was pleasant, but not very strong. It’s ok, not too much to write home about. (Probably wouldn’t buy)

Jungle Conditioner Smelled ok. Being that it's a solid conditioner, I found it difficult to use. I have A LOT of hair, and since it's curly it needs conditioner all over, every day. Getting the Jungle to go all through my hair was tough. I didn't really think it did any better than my normal conditioner, so I think I'll just stick with my Herbal Essences (Won’t buy)

Lemslip Buttercream This one's nice. I didn't notice any huge difference in my skin, but it was fun to use. (Probably wouldn’t buy)

Rehab It smells nice enough, but I don’t notice a huge difference in my hair when I use it. For me, it’s all about the proper conditioner, so I’ll stick with my Karma. (Won’t buy)

Retread Smells very nice, does right by my hair. If I had the money to burn, I’d buy it, but unfortunately it’s a bit too expensive for my wallet. (Probably wouldn’t buy)

Sonic Death Monkey OMFG. It’s a chocolate/coffee body wash. TEH NOMS!!! (Would definitely buy)

Sweetie Pie This one smells nice enough, but I didn’t love it. Turns out, the jellies are pretty fun to use! (Probably won’t buy)

Volcano I’m not sure if this made my feet really soft, but they were definitely tingly! My sample may have been too small for both feet, so I might try to score myself a double sample to verify my assessment. (Might buy.) 

This master list will be updated periodically.  In theory.  ;)

I'm slowly getting hooked on Lush, and I love your reviews of the products. Now I won't feel so overwhelmed when I go in the store!
