There is a store/line of personal hygeine products that I am officially ADDICTED to! It's called Lush, and it's not widely available, but we've had a gaggle of stores here for a little over a year.
http://usa.lush.com/cgi-bin/lushdb/i...en_US&dlang=en for those in the US
or
http://ca.lush.com/cgi-bin/lushdb/in...en_CA&dlang=en for the Canadians
or
http://www.lusk.co.uk if you're across the pond. It originated in the UK, so I imagine some of our British friends may also have access to these things.
But I blew a tremendous amount of money there, and other than wasting 9 bucks on conditioner that wasn't heavy enough, I am ADDICTED to everything I got there. Oh, and I melted my shampoo bar, but it still does its job in it's squishy state. It just isn't as pretty anymore.
I've used a few of their products in the past, like the Bath Ballistics, Bubble Bars and a Skin Conditioner, but haven't really tried anything else (other than borrowing from my sister!) until now.
Here's what I got:
Flying Fox shower gel. I will never again go without this...it's Jasmine and Honey and makes my whole apartment smell good. And it's a real pick-me-up.
Godiva Shampoo Bar (which I melted...oops) and Seanik Shampoo Bar (which I haven't actually used yet)..but the Godiva is just divine and works with the Flying Fox really well. And they say these things last for 80 washes with proper care. Of course, I destroyed mine!
American Cream conditioner which smells like strawberry ice cream and makes my hair super-soft! I also got Veganese Conditioner, which wasn't heavy enough for my dry, abused hair, but smelled nice.
I got Angels on Bare Skin for when my skin is behaving itself (or even gets a little chapped) and got samples of 3 others to try when the weather starts to get sticky and gross (Ocean Salt, Fresh Farmacy and Herbalism). My skin is super soft after using Angels, but I tend to get baby breakouts around that time of the month, so we'll see what happens then.
I also got a new pot of Dream Cream which just an all-around awesome body lotion. I got Helping Hands for my hands, and I'm going to compare that to the stuff Ian got me from Kiehl's and see how it stacks up. As pricey as Kiehl's was, I was only mildly impressed with it.
So, if you're also a Lushie...speak up! I'd like to hear your favorites, now that I'm newly addicted!
And the best part?
Nothing they make, and nothing their suppliers give them, has been tested on animals!!
