Wordy, Coalface is probably a little harsh for your skin. I can't speak as to the other two (I hated FF and have never tried Aquamarina.)
I went to Lush today, since this is looking to be a summer of insane hair. I bought a bottle of Cynthia Sylvia Stout, a hunk of Sexy Peel for beside the bathroom sink (I'm washing my poor hands a zillion times a day) and tossed in a Think Pink bomb to get to the spending limit to get a free face mask. (I'm a sucker.) I picked Brazened Honey, because it smelled yummy. And, the woman gave me a nice big sample of Potion to take home. Happi sygh.
ETA - kateln, you're not the only one who hates American Cream. It smelled of rubbing alcohol to me - ick!

I don't hate the smell of American Cream (although I don't love it), but I do think Coolaulin smells like pipe tobacco or something.

Wordy, my skin has been acting up with all the weather changes, depending on what is going on that day, I will take care of my face as best as possible.
I use Aquamarina as my usual face wash (and own a full size container). When my face breaks out a bit I use FF. It is drying and I don't use it all the time, so I have a small piece (about $3 worth). It usually does the trick to keep the breakouts to a minimum.
I also use a mask about twice a week and same for a scrub- Ocean Salt.
Good Luck!

Did my eyes decieve me, or was that my Kore who took a peek in through the window of our new store today? I wasn't sure, but if it wasn't you, honey, you have a twin wandering around Union Square! Wordy, given that you're a little dry but have breakout problems, I'd go with Aquamarina, or maybe even Angels on Bare Skin. Just because of a few breakouts, you don't want to overdry your skin with something made for oilier complexions, and they're both very gentle. Try Aquamarina first - I'd guess that would be the best one given your description. And also, if UWS refuses to give you samples of bar soaps, that's just totally wrong. The only ones we can't give samples of are Sweet Japanese Girl and Baby Face, and that's because they're full bars. But samples of FF and Coal Face ( even though I don't think they'd be right for your skin) - yes, those are the cuttable soaps, they're supposed to be giving you a small slice to take home and try! No matter, you come to us now! Store set up was ALOT of work ( I've done it before, I just had forgotten how tiring it is!). Tomorrow I'm working 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM - a long one too! But this is probably our last weekend that we'll be there so long - it's store set up and grand opening, so you have to expect that. I just hope I can shop at the end of my shift!

I was in the area at one point today. I will most likely be by tomorrow to come in and say hi (and buy a few products). Good Luck tomorrow India! ;D

I could have sworn that was you! I swear, she looked exactly like you! I am telling you guys, there is something about how fabulous this brand is - we had to nicely ask people to leave a bunch of times today who just wandered in and didn't realize we weren't opened yet! Boxes everywhere, paper laying all over the floor - they didn't care! They saw that it was a Lush and in they came!

I would have come in and insisted that you sold me a LARGE Retread conditioner! I used the rest of my sample today and was sniffing my hair all day, and my hair is short, so it's tough. I love that stuff!!
I can't wait to hear how tomorrow goes. Squeee....

I don't hate the smell of American Cream (although I don't love it), but I do think Coolaulin smells like pipe tobacco or something. It's the fresh coconut in there. Most people associate the scent of coconut with a Mounds bar - which I love, but it's a sweetened coconut paste in there. Fresh coconut doesn't smell at all like a Mounds bar - take a whiff of the "I Should Coco" soap next time you're in the store. Same thing.

I love the smell of Coolaulin -- I can definitely smell the fresh coconut, and I love it. I've had "coconut" shampoos before that smelled sickly sweet and artificial. I love the scent of the real thing.
I can't wait to hear about India's day!
ETA: This winter, I converted two of my friends to LUSHies. One of them told me she just used Retread for the first time, and said, "This is the best hair day I've ever had in my life." Seriously? LUSH needs to start paying commission to us Greecies.
