I placed an order.  First order of any kind for 2015.   I think this will be fun for my daughter.  Of course, I had to add the BOGO's in the order for myself.  :blush:

I will let ya know if I get a goodie.

So I just purchased the Kiss lip gloss, two of the honeymooner bars, and a prince charming.

However..after I purchased I realized I accidentally clicked the shimmy shimmy bars instead!! I frantically emailed, and then tried calling...I got a busy signal which seems so weird to me. I was expecting an automated something telling me they were busy or something..but not an actual busy signal! Busy signals just seem so antiquated these days, ha. 

Anyways, I didn't give up, I kept calling and calling and finally I got through! The guy on the other end said he would swap out the shimmy shimmy bars for the honeymooner bars and not charge me the difference! I even asked to pay the difference and he said no worries. So that was really nice!

However, I'm going to remain stressed until I get my order I'm sure because my online order says it's shimmy shimmy, and the gentleman didn't give me a new order number or confirmation code or anything, so I just have his word that it got switched. So fingers crossed!

Your package has been delayed due to an export gateway hold.

^^^^  What does that even mean?  I thought I'd seen all of the Exception messages, but this one is new to me.  Google has been no help.  <_<

It's being sent from Canada so it's highly likely that it has been held up at customs for whatever reason.

@@Kimb3rly -   Do you order from the kitchen?  I only see this on the UK site.

Yes, it's the UK Kitchen.  North America should have a kitchen around May.  I'm a little worried about what the prices are going to look like considering items are so much cheaper from the UK site.  Even with their so-called "fair pricing" (lol) it still ends up being cheaper.  The only exception to that is the hair conditioners.  They're cheaper from NA.

Oh, dearest Lush... if ever there's been a brand I couldn't say no to! I've been using their products for ages, and definitely have favorites... I apologize for the wall of text in advance:

Soaps

Ice Blue - This is my go to soap in the summer! It's very refreshing, tingly, and overall a wonderful product.

The Godmother - This one reminds of hard fruity candy that I loved as a kid, so it always brings smile.

Honey I Washed The Kids - A classic. Smells delicious, lathers well, and the honeycomb design is cute.

Angel's Delight - Delicious, fruity scent, and a beautiful colors. This one used to be a Christmas favorite, though for some reason they didn't bring it back this year, which made me exteremely sad. With that said, I am enjoying Yog Nog (similar to HIWTK) and Reindeer Rock (similar to The Godmother) which were in this year's holiday collection.

Bath Bombs

So White - Absolute favorite thanks to it's delicious apple scent, moisturizing properties, and how foamy it gets in the tub! I keep hoping that one day it will be available year round. 

Blackberry - An oldie but a goodie, especially when paired with the comforter bubble bar!

Shoot For The Stars - Another Christmas one; this one shares the same scent as HIWTK soap, and looks beautiful in the tub.

Cinders - Spicy, warm, and it crackles! 

Northern Lights - This one came out for Halloween in a unique shape, and quickly burrowed into my heart. Absolutely beautiful, and mine turned into a unicorn! 

Dragon's Egg - Gold. Glittery. Refreshing. What's not to love?

Phoenix Rising - Again, delicious and beautiful.

(more to be listed later...)

Bubble Bars

The Comforter - All time favorite. The blackcurrant scent is amazing, the bubbles are fluffy, and you can get 3-4 baths from this one!

Creamy Candy - Another fruity one that packs a punch (with bubbles, that is)

Candy Mountain - Are you seeing a pattern yet? I like fruity scented things. Unfortunately this one is holiday only. 

(more to be listed later...)

Bath Melts

You've Been Mangoed - So. Damn. Good! Smells wonderful and is super moisturizing! Careful when you pick these up, since they might slide right out of your fingers haha

MMM Melting Marshmallow Moment - Sweet, yummy, and feels great. You can get 2 uses out of this guy.

Shower Gels

Snow Fairy - Another classic. Fruity, delicious, and I'm pretty sure it shares the same scent as Creamy Candy bubble bar. Comes out for the holidays.

Prince Charming - Grapefruit and pomegranate are right up my alley, so it makes me sad that this is only for Valentine's Day.

Body Butter

Buffy -  Exfoliating, extremely moisturizing, and a must have in the winter! Keep in mind that since it's used in the shower, the bar doesn't last very long.

Fresh Face Masks

I swear by these, so I grab one, or both, every time I stop by Lush:

Cupcake - Excellent for helping fight oily/acne prone skin, and it smells like chocolate. Yum!

Love Lettuce - Soothing, exfoliating, and brightens your skin.

Massage Bar

Soft Coeur (the Honeymooner) - It's tiny, but super moisturizing, has chocolate bits inside, and smells delicious. Wonderful to give and receive massages with!

Other

Lemony Flutter - This rich lemon scented cuticle butter is a god send for anyone suffering with dry/cracked cuticles, elbows, and feet! I usually use it at night due to how "greasy" it is.

Sweetie Pie/Whoosh shower jellies - These guys are so fun!! They're jiggly, squishy, and smell SO good! Ah, I love these, even though I don't get them often. 

Charity Pot - This one is a love hate relationship for me now... I used to LOVE the original scent (now sold as Formulae Known As body lotion in a bottle) and formula, but the new one is still very moisturizing and goes to charity. I dunno what to think anymore!

Bubble Gum Lip Scrub - I absolutely love this product, and use it daily to exfoliate my lips.

I also highly recommend their shampoo bars if you want a wonderful product, and aren't too concerned that these aren't color safe!

There are other things I've loved from Lush in the past, but they were limited edition, and I don't remember the names at this point.

To answer your question, I have used Herbalism in the past, and really enjoyed it. I am currently playing around with Let The Good Times Roll and suggest trying it out, if for no other reason than it's scent. Also, Ocean Salt Cleanser/Scrub is a wonderful product! 

 

[Kookymama]

@@Kimb3rly - Thanks. I wasn't sure if the US had the kitchen as well. I saw up thread the discussions about the prices being better from the UK site. Yet, I didn't go that route - not sure why. :blush2:  

 

[FormosaHoney]

Thanks @@Kookymama for bringing me here and also to @kimb3erly for the enabling /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />...  Am almost there!  I'll reward myself with puchase after I finish my assignments.

So...  was wondering if any ladies have frozen their lotions for freshness and now they defrosted?  I was wondering about separation issues and all.  I've already thrown a bottle of the Rose Jam in this morning and I think that'll likele be fine.

 

[Kookymama]

@@FormosaHoney - I just checked my Rose Jam. You have over a year to use that one. Its pretty small so, I think you are good to go on that one.

I want to get more stuff! I love the African Paradise Conditioner. I want to try them all.

 

[Kimb3rly]

They do love me!  I just received my Valentine's Day order and they included the Little Snow Fairy gift set as my "freebie".  I love it!

Wow!  That's pretty darn awesome, you hit the jack-pot-of LUSH LUV!!

Was it the UK site?  Could I ask how much the order was?

For my 2 Boxing day orders, each totally around $50 they gave me a soap sample about the size of a Starburst fruit chew... which I might place in a small candy dish on the coffee table.

Oh, BTW...  How does your Celebrate lotion look?  I've been curious about that all day, while sitting in class LOL....

Thanks for info @@Kookymama!!  I read the 16 as a 15 for the year, duh...  

My frozen bottle of Rose Jam is a tiny bit expanded on the bottom and it looks like it froze evenly.  I've 1 in the fridge and 1 I'm using on the bath-tub rim.  I've plenty of space in the fridge in my new apartment, so I figured why not?  I'll remove them as I need the fridge space though, am not a freshness fanatic!

Think I'm going to go ahead and place a 3rd $50 order with LUSH!!!!

 

[Bree Bruzgulis]

Hi there, sorry to be slow to the party I know you guys said they're giving out free gifts with orders, but why exactly? I just got a FULL size Ocean Salt (LOVE) with my valentine's order. Woo!

It was from the NA site.  My order total with $8 shipping was $115.45.  I think it might be completely random though.  I've seen some people only order a few soaps and get the pot of African Paradise free.

On to the frozen Celebrate!  I took it out this morning before I left and it was frozen with an oily looking layer on top.  Just a thin sheen of it though.  I looked at it again about 2 hours ago and there was a bit of separation of the oils, but I took a toothpick and stirred it around a bit and it's just a good as before.  I'd say it's safe to freeze.  I'm going to get one of my 1.5 oz pots and freeze it until Saturday and then thaw it out.  I want to know if it'll be any different with an extended freeze time.

 

[chaostheory]

I ordered two of the honeymooner massage bars, a tiny prince charming body wash and the kiss lip balm and they sent a small sample of fairy ring and A FULL SIZE AFRICAN PARADISE.

What's awesome is I had originally mistakenly purchased two of the shimmy bars and immediately after I placed the order I realized my mistake and I called them and asked if I could actually get the honeymooner which is what I meant to click and they swapped them out in my order and didn't make me pay the difference which was so kind!

Has anyone been to any of the Lush Spas before?   I'm going to get a facial at the Philly one on Monday and I'm so excited!  I live just outside of the city and have been wanting to go since it opened but just haven't had the time.  My boyfriend surprised me with this as a gift for my birthday!  I'll let everyone know how it is!

So jealous!!  I've watched the videos of the treatments on YT and I feel relaxed just watching them.  lol  Are you getting the Validation facial?

 

[chelsealynn]

@@Kimb3rly Yup, I'm getting the Validation facial.  I'm really excited.  Apparently, you can pick 13 products to use for the facial and you get to take home what's left over  :smilehappyyes:
