Title : Rock Chick Bath Gift by LUSH
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Super sweet
This bath set was my first Lush product. I received it as a gift for Christmas. When I opened it, the smell it emitted was very strong and sweet. I loved it before I even used it! The rock star soap is smaller than a normal chunk and in the shape of a star. It does not contain star-shaped sparkles like the regular bar (or at least, mine didn't). The bubble bar and soap smell the same but can be used in different ways. I like to take a bath with the bubble bar and use the soap on a loofah for an extra sweet, candy-filled experience. I'm definitely looking forward to ordering more Lush products. Lush, you've made a new fan for life! :)

Title : Sonic Death Monkey Shower Gel by LUSH
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : So delicious!
If you like those chocolate orange balls that you whack on the table to break apart, then this is your shower gel. It smells so incredibly edible! The scent is a rich chocolate mixed with sweet orange and a light touch of lime and coffee for good measure. The coffee and lime scents are barely detectable, just enough to enhance the whole product. Try this as a shampoo as well! The hemp oil really makes your hair feel wonderfully soft afterwards. Don't get the impression though that this will detangle knots or remove the need for a conditioner!
Unfortunately, like all the other Lush shower gels (with the exception of Flying Fox and Snow Fairy*) the scent does NOT last on the skin at all. The scent will however linger in the air for quite a while and also in the hair. I highly suggest using the gels as shampoo if you are looking for their scents to stick around.
* Snow Fairy was a Christmas product from last year that smelled like Candy Fluff powder. I'm hoping and praying for that to return again this year!

Title : Big Blue Bath Bomb by LUSH
Rating : 2 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Not for Me
I use a lot of Lush products. This one is not for me. Did not enjoy the smell and the seaweed in it was definitely a turn-off. Be sure to put it in a small piece of hosiery if you don't want to be floating in spider-leg-like pieces of seaweed. In fairness, I love the bubble bars so much better than the bombs. If you are a first time user of Lush and really wanting to experience the luxury of their products, I would recommend trying one of the "candy-scented" bubble bars. They are all to die for!!

Title : Karma BUBBLE BAR slice by LUSH
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Heaven on earth
I am completely in LOVE with this bubble bar!
This was the first LUSH item I have ever used. I was put off initially because patchouli was one of the scents in it, I am not a fan of that tree hugging hippy stink. WOW, was I wrong!
Taking a bath with Karma Bubble Bar is seriously heaven on earth. It has tons and tons of bubbles and it lasted throughout the whole bath. Not only will *you* smell absolutely delicious, your house will too. I can't recommend this enough.
Go get it, NOW!!

Title : Buffy Skin Conditioner by LUSH
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : I can't live without this stuff!
Okay, so I'm a lotions and potions person. And, I suffer from severe dry skin. You know, the dry bumps all over your arms, and itchy patches on legs sort of dryness. A dermatologist called it extreme keratosis pilaris, and told me to use something like Amlactin.
So I used that stuff and it worked, but the smell and texture was dreadful. So over the years I've tested and tried multiple other things. And it's worked, but all left my skin kinda sticky, and not moisturized enough.
Then,.....I found this little miracle bar. It took care of all my skin issues, plus it felt good, plus is smelled good. And I have wonderful skin! AND (big and, because I have 2 small kids and no time)it eliminated 1 step from my shower routine (the lotion step). Seriously, you don't need lotion after this, as a matter of fact, worst case, I can go 2 days without moisturizing (2 small kids, lack of time again), and my skin still feels great.
I love, love, love this stuff!

Title : Aromacreme Deodorant by LUSH
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Absolutely gorgeous!
I was somewhat reluctant to try this new deodorant from Lush, because I've had bad reactions to some of their other deodorant products (stinging, irritation) - but I got a sample in a Lush shop a while ago and have fallen in love with its gorgeous scent, fabulous texture, staying power and effectiveness! I'm not the type that sweats a lot, even in the summer, and switching to a straight deodorant from an antiperspirant has been less of an issue than I thought at first - even in the past few days of 90 degree heat here in Boston!
This is a fabulous product, without all those harsh and potentially harmful ingredients in so many other deodorants - be sure to try some of Lush's other fantastic, natural products while you're at it. They have creative solutions to so many skin/body care problems - and you can feel good about what you're putting on your body!

Title : Buffy Skin Conditioner by LUSH
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : It's the best!
I get complimented by dates for having soft skin and this is the secret. I combine it w/ Nivea Q10 lotion, which is non-greasy and the combination leaves my skin ultra-soft.
A tip in using this is to cut it up into little squares before you use it. Each little square will be 1-2 uses. If you get the biggest size, you should cut it into slabs first, then make squares out of those. It's expensive, but it'll last for quite a while if you do this.

Title : Wiccy Massage Bar by LUSH
Rating : 2 Stars out of 5.
Summary : LUSH is okay but I have found I like MELT better...
I have tried the LUSH products and found them kinda good but then my friend introduced me to the MELT product line. Any benefits I thought I was getting from LUSH... out the window. Their products seemed, all the sudden, unimpressive. And I really like that MELT is Denver based! Try them out and see what you think for yourself (If you aren't here in Colorado I know they have online products too) and make your own choice. I recomend them though and I have told everyone I know to switch! :-)

Title : Coalface Natural Facial Cleanser by LUSH
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : I prefer it to LUSH's Fresh Farmacy
Coalface works wonderfully at preventing breakouts and exfoliating gently. It also tightens my pores and slightly lessens and delays the oily sheen I get a few hours after washing my face. The charcoal has mild exfoiliating properties and some even choose to rub this bar directly on their damp face. I prefer to just lather up the Coalface bar in my hands, apply the suds with my hands, and then rinse clean. It can remove most foundation except for my long-wearing formulations. I try not to use this to clean my eye area as its ingredients are fairly harsh for that in my opionion. I wash with Coalface at least twice a day in addition to using strong prescription leave-on treatments and have had no excess sensitivity. This is just right; whereas the Fresh Farmacy, while effective, was overly drying at times. Unlike with Fresh Farmacy, I have no trouble getting Coalface to lather easily enough for me. Coalface also rinses away completely without leaving a film or residue like I had with the Fresh Farmacy. This soap is rather expensive, but I suppose that the essential oils in it, Sandalwood in particular, are not cheap. At least Coalface lasts for a long time (over two months) using it primarily for my face. I do not care for its strange scent, but I got used to it after a few weeks; I did not purchase it for its scent anyway. This is a fairly messy soap. The lather strangely enough is not black but white!

Title : Karma BUBBLE BAR slice by LUSH
Rating : 1 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Gosh this thing was harshly scented!
Whew - could this bar have been any more herbally scented? I am not sure at all what I expected, but this thing really got my nasal allergies going. It did make alot of bubbles and softened my skin. As for relaxing, no way! I had to take a shower about an hour later to actually get that herbally scent off me. Gave me a headache. I also had to retrieve the wrapper out of the bathroom waste basket and put into the regular trash can and take the bag out of the house. And still the bathroom had some of that scent for days. This one is not for me. I still have a Ma Bar and Sweet Candy bar and I'm hoping very much that their scents will be more pleasing to me. I will definitely buy more bubble bars, as it did bubble amazingly. Just will choose a different scent and hope for something better next time. :)

Title : Laura Mercier Secret Concealer
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Creamy Coverage
I just started getting dark circles under my eyes and needed to call out the troops (Secret Concealer, Secret Brighter and Secret Brightening Powder). I like the concealer. It's creamy, easy to apply and comes in four colors to match skin tone. It covers well but to really make the darkness dissappear you need to deflect and set with the other products. I would not be happy with the concealer on its own but as part of a "team" it's excellent. Since I'm not only getting darkness directly under the eye but lower on the bone of the eye socket it's important that the shade be perfect and it is. Go to a Laura Mercier counter and pick it out in person. I took off a star because it doesn't do the whole trick on it own.
