Lisa - as I approached menopause, my skin became "normal". I could use literally anything short of Crisco on my face and it would look good. I used to be the poster child for oily skin. Dermatologist, Retin A, antibiotics for years. It's not unusual at all for one's skin to do "weird" stuff around perimenopause.

It's kind of exciting, in a weird way - my skin has seriously never been better!

I had a $300+ sale this morning - whee doggies. Nearly everything I told this woman to put in her basket - she did (her daughter "helped her out"). The only think she balked at was the Coconut and Almond Smoothie. She never even blinked at the final tally. She stopped in on the recommendation of a friend. She bought every product in the Karma line, including the cologne and three bubble bars. She bought a Gorgeous moisturizer. When our hourly average sale (AS) is over $40, we get to take a product home around $5 in value. Our first AS was $91 and we never went below $43 (we had some other good tallies as well) when I was there. I brought home a bag of freebies.

I know I keep going on about it, but I am amazed at SJG. I have used pretty much all the other Lush cleansers over the past three and a half years, and none of them really did anything for me--they didn't make my skin worse, but they didn't make it better, either. But lately my forehead has been a problem area with those stupid little bumps. Last weekend, it was covered with them. Today, it is almost entirely smooth. It's AMAZING. And I never would have tried SJG if it weren't for this thread, because my skin is oily and it seems so counterintuitive.
My dream is to be that lady who dropped $300 without thinking. One day!

I got a sample of Reincarnate and I thought it smelled absolutely vile. Sometimes my chihuahua's ass leaks a bit, and it smells like that. Did I just get a bad batch? I can't believe I'm smelling the same stuff everyone raves about in the reviews. I'm going to Lush tomorrow and will avoid smelling the stuff that smells like the ooze from the chihuahua's butt. Yeah, boy.

Sending good "Karma" to Union Square!!!
Well, I got a Ceridwen's Cauldron, a small Tramp (love that stuff), a small Olive Branch, a You've Been Mangoed bath melt (I don't take baths, so I'm going to use it as a body moisturizer), Honey Trap lip balm, and the rest of a bottle of the discontinued Potion (there wasn't much left and nobody else wanted it).
PS - the "Reincarnate" shampoo does smell like a little slice of hell sometimes. I'm not fond of the "Blonde" smell either (it's kinda meh to me), but I like what it does for my hair.

Yeah, I like the way Reincarnate works, but the smell is a little ... interesting. "Little slice of hell" just about does it. Or dirt. It's earthy, and not in a good way.
I just saw the bit about the chihuahua/ass leakage. I'm going to go cry now.
