did anyone try the LUSH products?

Oh yes, i use their soaps quite frequently, also the bath-products (my favorite is "ceridven's cauldron") and some body-butters. are quite nice. though have never used their so called freshly made cosmetics.

This does seem to be quite a popluar brand but for some reason nothing has ever appealed to me when in the shop, it all looks very messy and my nose senses heavy perfume.

I believe you should try our forum member Candy's collection (CANDESSENCE) if you are interested in LUSH. She is now offering a sampler pack of her best items. This line has received a lot of ravings from other forum members.

Haha, I'm addicted to Lush products! You can find me on the Lush forums too Smile

Personally I think the best Lush products (in terms of how well they work) are the skin cleansers, fresh masks and the shampoos, rather than their bath stuff.

If I had to pick, my favorite would be Sweet Japanese Girl; its the best thing for removing make up, exfoliating, and brightening my complexion. Hmm, or Sacred Truth mask as it has lots of antioxidants. I could take or leave a lot of the bath products though, apart from a few staples (lin23, ceridwens Cauldron is fab! Also Butterball for skin softening.)

oh man i am totally addicted to LUSH.. i love all the bath bombs and bath melts........ fastest way to burn a hole in your pocket though!

would love LUSH more if they didnt have SLS in most of their shampoos and even some conditioners and many soaps......its a shame.. Sad

...love 'angels on bare skin' face scrub....and 'miranda' soap (no SLS). I buy extra and unwrap it and just leave it near my towels in the bathroom so that the wonderful fragrance permeates everything.....ahhhhh... Very Happy

I have their VERY MINTY Mask of Magnaminty on right now and love it!!!

My face feels icy... Very Happy

I went through a bit of a LUSH phase for a while & have the nicest BF in the world who would bring me back LUSH goodies everytime he was in Union Square during the week, so I have way too many soaps & bath bombs on hand. But their stuff is very fun! I especially like the Buffy the Backside Slayer to exfoliate the body.

Thank you very much. So kind of you Smile

I haven't tried any products from LUSH, but my products have been compared (and most often preferred) to LUSH. Mine are definitely cheaper too. Cool

I LOVE LOVE LOVE bath bombs, their soaps, bar shampoo, almost everything, but I was not impressed by their skincare, masks, etc.. I think other companies do that (skincare) so much better. But all their other products are fun to use, fun to look at, and awsome to smell!!

From the description in your signature I'd say a good mask for you would be Sacred Truth from Lush's fresh range. My skin is prone to spots, with some dry patches, and as I'm 29 I want to prevent ageing. This is the mask that does it for me (it heals my spots with minimal scrring, plumps, nourishes, moisturises but doesn't oilify)

They do have other masks specifically for spots, but many are too drying for me. I wouldnt go near the Mask of Magnaminty as its not fresh and it did nothing for my skin at all.

As for haircare, it depends of what your hairtype is, and what you want it to do (shine more, be more moisturised, less fluffy etc)

Have a look on lush's website, there are loads of reviews of their products there.

my fav product is Dream cream, very soothing for the skin esp when its feeling itchy

I love their BioFresh range (the ones Sheens mentioned) and also a few regular items.

Some of the normal range items I've repurchased have been the Mask of Magnaminty, Fresh Pharmacy soap, Angels on Bareskin, Big shampoo (amazing stuff!) and the Retread conditioner.

Two items I don't especially love, but, somehow have repurchased for their cool factor have been the American Creme conditioner (doesn't really help my hair, but, leaves it smelling to die for) and the Ocean Salt scrub. It's oily and I think makes me get a tiny pimple or two, but, it smells and feels wonderful Laughing
