I think the refilling thing gets problematic - The Body Shop used to do it (way back in the 90s), but discontinued it. Which just meant I bought normal bottles and refilled my jumbo 750ml pump bottle at home!
As for the people being rude on the message boards, that sucks. I understand the frustration of not feeling listened to (I've been in situations where my input was asked for and completely ignored), but you just don't offer more feedback. No need to get snippy about it.

Refilling is a hassle, but what Mark Constantine is asking are - what are alternative ways to create less packaging, less waste? Because this is why he does very little bottled product. So our suggestions to him have been things like - put recycling bins in the stores. Sell the bottle of product, like your shower gel, and then make refill containers out of paper, like the refills of Downy fabric softener. This way, the customers are only buying their bottle one time. And really, to be honest, the reason the Body Shop's recycling program didn't work was because people didn't use it. It's only problematic if you don't do it.

Like your idea about recycling, India. I know that I try to recycling everything I can, but if I buy one bottle and just refilling it, I would feel better about it.
So Champagne Supernova is finally making it's way over here. I can't wait to try it!

One of the things I like about Lush is that there is so little packaging, but yeah if you could find a way to recycle the bottles--or the plastic containers that the masks/cleansers come in.

So I'm thinking about trying Retread and Gorgeous. What are they like? I went on the forums and they sound like they could be possibilities. My main worries at the moment are that 1) my hair is really fine but can suck up moisture and I'm worried that Retread might be a little heavy (although American Cream wasn't quite enough, if that gives you any frame of reference) and 2) my skin lately has been oily although this hasn't really been a problem in the past. I'm thinking it's a combination of hormones and summer. . . I tried Enzymion and it's not moisturizing enough, so possibly smaller amounts of Gorgeous might work? Will they even give samples of Gorgeous in the store, or do I have to suck it up and buy a bottle? If it's worth it, let me know.

Gorgeous could be the right one for you if Enzymion isn't moisturizing enough. Have you tried Imperialis? That's our balancing moisturizer - good for dryer cheeks/oily T-zones. But Gorgeous is fabulous - I love it. It's really light, and very nice for combo/normal skins, or very little on oiler skin. I know alot of people get sticker shock from Gorgeous, but really, you use very little. That jar should last you eight months to a year. If you divide up $84.00 by 365 days, you're paying only 23 cents a day for Gorgeous, and I'd say that's certainly worth it for your skin.
Retread.... hmmmm... well, I'd advise against is since your hair is fine - my first bet would have been Coolaulin for you. But since you said American Cream didn't quite do the trick, then yeah, get a sample of Retread and try it first, because it doesn't come in a small size. Here's the "lightest to heaviest" scale of conditioners that we learned in hair care training. Your lightest is going to be Veganese. Then Coolaulin, American Cream, and Retread being the heaviest. Jungle is sort of in a category on it's own.
Oh! And I forgot to tell you guys! A couple of weeks ago, we had a celebrity shopping in our store! Michelle Hurd, who played Detective Monique Jeffries on "Law & Order: SVU" (she was Munch's first partner, before Ice T) came into our store a couple of Sunday mornings back. She bought some Dream Cream (if I recall - I mean you guys have heard about my weekend-long "L&O" marathons, so I was a little stunned to see her! I mean, it wasn't at the level of walking right past Rick Savage from Def Leppard a few years back, but I still got all geeked out!), and she was really nice. And she is GORGEOUS in real life - she was very pretty on the show, but she's twice as pretty in person.
Shan, I'm sorry, I'm not much help with the Big shampoo. I did try a sample of it, and really, anything that's not super moisturizing poofs my hair out. But it does sell well among our customers with fine hair. Isn't your hair kinda thick? It'll really volumize it!

Hmmm, maybe I'll stick with the Cynthia Sylvia Stout. Thanks!

Rehab is without a doubt the best shampoo I have ever used.

so, I'm about to head back home after my summer in Chicago where I have a Lush store a few blocks from my apartment to a place where i'd have to drive 2+ hours to a store. Therefore, I'd like to stock up on some stuff before I go home. I bought the traveling container of Angels on Bare Skin, Eau de Roma, and Imperialis. I liked them so went back and bought full size Angels and the toner. I have found that I have little bumps on my forehead that AoBS hasn't gotten rid of. Should I try a different cleanser? (I have combination skin oily in T zone) Also, does Lush make a face lotion with SPF? If not, i guess i'm going to have to keep using my Cetaphil or something similar during the daytime. IS there a better lotion for night time than Imperialis?
I also tried Ring of Roses butter cream- or whatever it is, which I liked.
So, can anyone recommend a body butter (or two) possibly a change in facial stuff a shower gel/butter cream?
thanks---
