Although there Is a LUSH a couple of blocks from me, I really have to stat away due to complete lack of self control in that store! I stopped in today because I needed shampoo. I got my usual Cynthia Sylvia Stout and Retread conditioner. I also grabbed 3 Bunny bubble bars, mainly because of their cuteness. They asked what I'd like to sample and I mentioned I was looking for a new face cleanser, so I got about a week's worth of Ultra Bland. They also threw in a free Oatifix face mask!

Nice! I'm curious to know how you like the Ultra Bland. I'm also in the market for a new face wash.

The ultra bland is interesting stuff...I think either the pot itself or the website says it's a makeup remover/and I've seen it called a cleanser as well...same stuff I guess lol. Its thick and creamy with not too much oil, you massage it into your skin like a face polish and buff it off with a washrag or whatever. Sometimes it can leave a slight film, so a quick face wash or makeup wipe afterward helps with the residue.

Lushies!  What's your favorite shampoo/conditioner combo from Lush?  I'm going TODAY and I have a few things on my list (face mask.. massage bar..) but I really need shampoo and conditioner.

I have ultra thick hair with lots of volume.  It's medium/long in length and needs hydration and I have so many scalp problems (but I hate the way their scalp shampoo smells.. so that's a no.)  Suggestions?

I have liked using the juniper shampoo bar in the past, and I still use the American Cream conditioner (expensive so I only use it maybe every 2-3 days.)  I have fine, wavy hair so I'm not sure that American Cream would be good for you.  You would likely need to use a LOT of it in one go and the bottle is really expensive.

Perfect!  I was actually looking at Juniper so I might try that one!  Thanks sooo much!

I've used it for the past 3 days, and I'm pretty certain I'll be buying it. It's not a typical cleanser, more like a cold cream. It really helps with removing makeup, and leaves my skin feeling very clean and moisturized. You definitely need to follow up with a toner or cleansing water, though, to remove any residue.

I hope you like it!! It does a very, very good job at cleaning, while being gentle, and I really love the smell.

Thanks! I think I'll pick up a sample next time I go /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Grabbed a sample of this and Dark Angels yesterday- am certainly interested to see how it works.  The really nice lady (Chicago ladies- I'm pretty sure the Armitage location is just about the best place on earth) showed me how it worked and then used Dark Angels on top of it.  She said she uses Ultra Bland at night to take her makeup off, and then washes with Dark Angels in the morning.  I'm not a morning face-washer person, so I dunno if I'll do that routine, but we'll see!

I ended up picking the Trichomania shampoo instead!  I really really like it- I'll have to try the Juniper next, I was just impulsive with the summery coconut smell of Trichomania.  I used it last night and I love it!  I think I'm into this whole bar shampoo thing!

I'm sure they're all great!! I really like the bar shampoo, too.

Guys I was SO BAD last night!  I had a $50 gift card and I blew right through it, and spent an extra $18!  I picked up Trichomania shampoo (love), Jungle conditioner (I kind of feel like I smell a little bit like a hippie today, so I dunno if I'll repurchase this, I might try the solid BIG conditioner instead?  Reviews there?), Vanilla Puff Dusting Powder (love love love), Cosmetic Warrior face mask, the Peach massage bar (can't remember the name...) and two samples- Ultra Bland and Dark Angels.  SO EXCITED WITH ALL OF MY PRETTIES.

It was a lot easier to use than I originally expected- I thought it was going to be so difficult!

Now I want to try a bar shampoo . . . My list is getting long!

I've tried most of their shampoo bars, they are all amazing...but my absolute fave is the white one ( ultimate shine). I switched my shampoos around for a while and when I went back to that bar I could totally tell the difference. 

I used to pair it with Jungle conditioning bar, but recently switched to using just a spray in conditioner after towel drying. (jungle smells amazing btw)

I'm intrigued by the thought of solid shampoo/conditioner. I'm a total klutz and basically blind without glasses (so totally a hot mess in the shower), how hard is it to keep a grip on the bars? or do you just lather them up in your hands and use the suds? I go through those huge bottles of shampoo and conditioner on an almost monthly basis and I feel like solid ones would maybe last longer?
