What gives. I didn't even know Lush existed until I saw everybody referencing it on here and now I'm scanning every page of their site and salivating over all their delicious stuff.

Are their facial masks as good as they look? How many uses do you get out of a little container?

I get more uses out of some masks than others, but each is good for at least 4-5 full face applications for me.  BB seaweed is the one I get the least out of, Cupcake and Love Lettuce the most.  I do enjoy their masks a lot more than other companies' masks.  They don't work miracles (at least for me but my skin isn't bad to begin with) but they are an awfully nice treat.   

 
Being sick is bad for my no buy! I finally ordered a few things from Lush Kitchen: Freeze shower gel, After 8.30 massage bar, and Snake Oil scalp treatment. Now to wait for my goodies to arrive!

Plus, it's my birthday this weekend, and I was planning on making a trip to Lush to pick up a birthday treat (or two) -- too much Lush?

 
I couldn't wait-- I went to Lush after work today because I'm impulsive and impatient! They gave me a facial in store and I got to try Cosmetic Warrior which was wonderful. I left with some Ultrabland face wash and a couple of bath bombs. I'm so excited to try them!

 
I tried the D'Fluff out today. I don't care for the smell. It doesn't really smell like strawberries to me, and it comes off very perfume-y. It did leave my legs feeling super smooth though.

 
I have a question about the massage bars. I purchased one from the UK Kitchen (can't remember the name, but it's white and has little pink beads that look like pomegranate seeds on one side). While it smells great and leaves my skin very smooth, I don't think I'm using it correctly. The little beads that are in it have nearly all popped out, and it seems as if it's disappearing rather quickly! Is it typical for massage bars to get used up fast? Or should I just rub it a few times in my hands and apply to my skin, rather than rubbing the bar itself all over my legs/back/arms/etc.?? Maybe I just expected it to be a little more substantial. I feel like it's going to break into little pieces after three uses.

The massage bars I usually get have lasted me a few months.  I've used Strawberry Feels Forever and Mange Too, both of which I think were good-sized bars.  Both of those would have been a little too greasy (not the right word but the closest I can come up with) to rub directly all over my skin.  For example, if I wanted to use it on my legs, I would maybe rub the bar on the side of my leg for a few swipes to warm it up, then do big stripes down my legs and work the oils/whatever into my skin from there. There would have been too much product if I rubbed it over the entire surface of my legs. Does that make sense?  I feel like that is not coherent, lol.  But yes I would warm it up in your hands and then apply to the skin instead of rubbing the bar all over. 

 
My most recent order from Lush UK: 

  • Bohemian Soap (Which I've since cut into 4 smaller bars)
  • Amandopondo bubble bar
  • Rose Queen bath bomb
  • Tisty Tosty bath bomb
  • Honey Trap lip balm
  • Note: kitchen cutie not included
I'm so glad I got the Bohemian soap! I love the citrusy-ness in the shower and I'm hoping it will help with clear skin, as others have mentioned.  I have also used the Honey Trap lip balm and it reminds me so much of Mange Too.  I think it has most of the same ingredients as Mange Too, except that bar had bananas in it and Honey Trap does not. But, it's definitely my new favorite balm ever!  I cannot wait to use these bath bombs soon :)

I tried Mask of Magnanimity for the first time, and my face is so incredibly soft and smooth! This is a big winner for me!
I've wanted to try that for so long! I feel like everyone who tries it loves it. 

Also...Halloween stuff should be up soonish. I'm ready to buy a dozen Pumkins!

Oh yay! I can't wait.  I wonder if the Kitchen will have some cool Halloween things...hopefully!

I want to try this too!  It's for face &/or body right?

I really hope the Halloween stuff is out the first weekend in Oct. since I'll be at a Lush that weekend!

We have that same massage bar and I've rubbed it all over my husband's back several times and it's no where near ready to fall apart. I rub him for a while with the bar, then I massage the oil in for a while. I'd say our bar isn't even half gone yet, but the seeds are popped out more now. I know at least once when my hubby did a lot of work in the yard & house, I gave him a full body massage with it. Not sure what's going on with the one you have, maybe it was smaller to begin with?

 
I bought the D'FLUFF and because I already she It's Raining Men shower gel, I smell so sweet and delicious! Even more, I find that the D'FLUFF makes my bathroom smell amazing for hours after a shower. I'm a little worries about using it up too fast so I'm trying to only scoop out a little each time.

 
alright lushies: i need a little crowdsourcing here.

so I LOVE the "it's raining men" scent, and I know honey i washed the kids soap is the same scent, and the honeymooner massage bar is the same scent. i really want to get a massage bar, but I have had the honeymooner and I did not like the chocolate inside. sorry, I just want the lotion properties, but I don't want to have chocolate licked off me as I'm moisturizing. does anyone have any tips for getting the chocolate out without making the bar into tiny chunks while doing so? it seems like that's the only massage bar with that scent. I'm not seeing a body butter/lotion with that scent either I don't think.

Ladies on the east coast:  On average, how long do your Lush UK orders take to arrive to you?

I think about 7-9 days. I've ordered twice and both times have been pretty fast. 

Also: I *think* the Halloween and Christmas sets go live on Friday Oct 3.  I could be wrong but let's hope not!  Also if you google search, the blog The Sunday Girl has previews of everything.
