My Lush Un-Wrapped

Here's what I got so far:

Cocktail is my favorite. I really need to find the soap on ebay now, though.

I left my soaps out to dry, they were a little soft and needed to cure a bit.

Look at that Date. So pink and bright. Harvey is adorable, isn't he.

Forgot all about my Gentil Lentil Shampoo bar:

I smell Damb good!

Yup, Narcotick bubble bath with Mojo bath bomb (from El-ix-ir.net) and Cocktail body spray. Lets just say "I smell Damb good."

Oh NO

Dang it!!! I knew I was missing something. I didn't get the regular Lush UK products. My Veganese and Ickle Baby Baff are missing. I hope they came in another box or I'll be miffed. I'll email them and ask though. 8'(

YAY!!! Got My Lush Retro Order Today

Here it is!!!

So far the best thing is the Cocktail body spray. I didn't think it would be that big because it said mini spray. I also hadn't smelled cocktail since Xmas so it madde be very happy to finally remember why I love the scent so much. :) I also got a B catalog (I was hoping for a Lush UK one too, but it wasn't there)


Go here for the product names and reviews (when I try them) http://geminis-thoughts.blogspot.com/2008/03/lush-ukretrob-never-reviews.html

Calming Lush Bath

Just had a bath with two of Lush's bath ballistics, Waving not drowning and Butter ball. The scent was LavenderVanilla and very calming. Enjoyed this bath very much.

Imp scent from Bpal? Iffy!!!

I got my Bpal imp from Ebay called "Imp". Ummm.....not sure if I like it yet. It's kinda strong musky and almost soapy scent after awhile. May have to wear it a couple more times to see.

Lush UK/Retro/B Never Reviews

Lush UK/Retro/B Never

LushUK:
Veganese conditioner* - Ummm. The conditioner looks a little grayish on top and on the bottom. It smells like Veganese, but it looks dirty. I think some of the Ickle baby baff dust got into it some how? I'm still a little scared to use it.

Ickel Baby Baff BBar - Very lightly scented bath ballistic. Still nice and cute, though.

Retro:
Kiss Me Klimt BBomb - Soooo relaxing can't even describe the scent, but it's that good. Voting for Lush discon '08

Psycodelic BBar - Spicy, like cinnamon. Very nice, lots of bubbles.

It's a Date BBar -

Gentil Lentil Solid shampoo - Vanilla scented and made my hair supper soft.

Narcotick Shower gel - Tea tree and lavender, makes a super bubbly bath. Voting for this, Lush discon '08

Queen of Hearts soap - Smells like rose water and made my face soft. I use it every day now. Has my vote for Lush discon '08

Pineapple Grunt soap - I don't like this. No scent at all. Pinapple. What Pinapple? I smell no pineapple. Plain.

Harvy Bunny BBomb - Soooo cute that I'm afraid to use it (as of 4/18/08)

Honey Waffle soap - ? Not sure. Made my skin soft but smelled more like wax than like honey. A bit sad.

Red Rooster Soap - Spicy and very good (just had to flick off the cinnamon stick pieces). Would buy this again. I will vote for it for this years discon '08 run.

Hollywood BBar -

BNever:
Cocktail mini spray - Very sexy scent.lavender, bergamont, jasmine, rose, sandalwood and ylang ylang. Almost forgot why I loved the soap so much it's been so long.

Mint julip sugar lip scrub - I wanted to eat this it taste so good. Mint, sugar and chocolate.

B never to busy to be beautiful shower gel - Smack you in the face honey. Almost too much honey smell. May have to use it as a bubble bath. Still love it though. (update 3/1/08- mix this with Sonic Death Monkey....Yummm)

*The only thing I've used on this list before is the Veganese conditioner, I seem to like it from mail order and not from the stores here in NA though, smells and feels different to me somehow. So lets see how I like UK mail order conditioners.

E-lix-ir Product Review

Almondfruit Soap ($5.75)- (tanish color) Nutty with a little sweet and some scrubbies for exfoliating (but not too much, like the me so chai soap). Very moisturizing and lathers good. Scent stays on skin after bath/shower.

Me So Chai Soap ($6.00)- (brown color with dark speckles) Smells good enough to eat. Lathers great but the coffee bean scrub bits are a little rough on arms and chest area and I have to lather in my hands not on my body or it scratches. Still a yummy product and will have to buy (got a sample, and a huge one at that, looked like a little less than a full size to me)

Archipelago Soap ($6.25)- (got a sample, green and blue swirl color)

Return from the Dead Soap ($6.00)- (got a sample, grayish color) Minty. Better than Lush's Demon in the Dark soap and not as strong.

Mojo Lotion Bar ($5.75)- This is so goooood. Smell like Lush's Karma scent in solid lotion form. Great product. Makes my skin soft. The only problem I have with it is it's too hard and you need to use a blowdryer to heat it enough to use it.

Ginger Love BBar ($3.25)- (orange and yellow color) Lots and Lots of bubble in this bar. Wonderful spicy smell that stayed in water and on my skin after bath (I also stayed in water for 45 min it was so relaxing). Water was a light orange color.

Purple Rain BBomb NSP ($1.25)- (purple color)

Hot Sex BBomb NSP ($1.25)- (red Color) I can't figure out what the scent of this bomb is suppose to be (maybe cinnamon?) and it's not posted on the site. It had a very strong spa like scent and made me doze off in the tub. Made the water a red color but didn't stain my white tub (good). Had just the right amount of oils in it to create a very soft relaxing bath.

Lemmongrass BBomb NSP ($1.25)- (light green color) Mixed this with a Avobath from Lush. The best bath I've had in a long time. Lemony scent and lime green water.

AllThat Razz BBomb NSP (1.25)- (pinkish color)

Mojo BBomb (2.75)- (blue color)

Pink Jasmine BBomb (2.75)- (got it for free as a sample, light pink color)

Last updated: march 21, 2008

Note: NSP means Not So Perfect. They have some sort of blemish (dent or crack) so they are cheaper. The size and scent you'll get is a mystery.

Yup...It's been like forever!

I thought I would come back, delete the usless junk on this page and post mostly reviews of products I love/hate. I have found a few shops I want to share with others.

Shana Logic (shanalogic.com)
Lush (Lush.com)
E-lix-ir (E-lix-ir.net)
Moonalisa (Moonalisa.com) and
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab or BPal for short (BlackPhoenixAlchemyLab.com).

I haven't used any products from Moonalisa or BPal yet (but have an imp from Bpal of 'IMP' coming my way from ebay) but will soon order once I use up the products from Lush and
E-lix-ir. I have way to much stuff and I have to save up my money first. I also have a big Lush UK/Retro/BNever order coming my way also.


I will be back to post reviws for the Shana Logic stuff I bought and love and also the products I used from E-lix-ir. When I get my Retro Lush order, I'll post for those, too.

See you later,

Kristie :)
