Oh no! Caught red-handed /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I could have sworn that I read somewhere that the orders from the UK get dispatched from Canada.

I received my order toady so i guess I paid for express shipping! my packing list showed ot was packed in the uk. My angles on bare skin was best if used by march though, is this common? also i ordered 2 bauble bars both were very hard. the ones i have purchased in the past were soft and kinda squishy. these things feels like bricks. is that normal? everything else was fine though.

Yes. Generally, their cleansers don't have a very long shelf life.  The bubble bars it doesn't really matter if they're hard or not because you crumble them into running water for your bath. It'll just be a bit harder to crumble them. I suggest putting it in a ziploc baggie and beating the heck out of it. Or if possible, cut them with a knife (I do this to also get multiple baths out of 1 bubble bar!).

I use a cheese grater! Works perfectly.

No, that's really strange. Contact them immediately and let them know.

Yikes!  Definitely contact them. Is there any chance the date is printed differently due to the UK's dd/mm/yyyy vs the US format of mm/dd/yyy? and that could be throwing you off?  I doubt it but worth mentioning I guess.

Temptalia posted that the shelf life for AoBS is only 3 months, it doesn't last very long. http://www.temptalia.com/lush-angels-on-bare-skin-cleanser-is-perfect-for-the-morning

Butterball is one of my favorite bath bombs, it is so softening and gentle

My absolute favorite product from Lush is their Ro's Argan Body Conditioner. I adore Turkish delight and the scent of Ro's is so spot on! Plus, it makes your skin so soft and you don't need to put on lotion after using it.

I tried a sample of the Turkish delight and loved the scent! I really love the Rose Jam bubble bar scent too! Lush does a great job with rose scented products making them smell fresh and luxurious instead of grandma floral LOL I'm going to ask for a sample of the Ro's Argan Body Conditioner next time I shop in-store because I have super dry skin! Question- is the Ro's conditioner to be used AFTER body wash or is it like a more moisturizing shower smoothie?

Ro's is to be smoothed on after body wash and left to sink in for a few minutes, just like a hair conditioner. I also rub the turkish delight on after body wash as well, I see it as an extra moisturizing step after regular washing, instead of using it as a wash.

Oh and ladies if you like citrus scented products, the Happy Hippy shower gel is AMAZING-- its a super sudsy grapefruit shower gel that literally makes you happy! Also the "from dusk till dawn" massage bar smells even more AMAZING. Its a little harder to describe but I am addicted to the scent and it is super moisturizing. Its definitely citrus smelling with a mix or heaven LOL.The scent lasts for hours too!

And Fresh Face Mask wise I have tried the Catastrophe Cosmetic and the Love Lettuce. I like them both. The CC mask is a calamine blueberry calming mask and the LL is an exfoliating cooling mask. Next I want to try Cosmetic Warrior or Cupcake.

Any suggestions for Lush masks or other products to benefit combo acne skin that you guys have tried out? I am currently waiting on the spot treatment to arrive as part of my UK order. Thinking about ordering the Tea Tree toner....

Thanks LUSHIES <3 <3
