Trying to use half a bomb is more hassle than its worth. I use Lush goodies in the bath at least twice a week now and realised I was spending about $30 a week just bathing, so tried to cut back - but you end up with a bagful of crumbs!!
I used a Think Pink bomb last night, I was stunned by how fizzy it was! It was almost VIOLENT, it bubbled so much! I wasnt overly keen on the scent but the bubble action and little pink hearts were great.
Just splashed out on a Fathers Day VIP night with my kids, buying up goodies for the discount and freebie bag. I got a full sized Dream Time temple balm, a DreamTime bath melt, and a BIG chunk of Emperor of Ice Cream! Very pleased with those goodies, that was well worth spending $50 for! I bought Lip Squeak lip balm too - my God that smells good!! My daughter took great pleasure in telling the SAs that Lip Squeak was voted third favourite lip balm in her Total Girl magazine (for tweenagers), the SAs were quite impressed!

Ang - good haul there! If you end up with a bag of bomb "shrapnel" - you know, they fizz too. Just dump the "crumbs" in there. Maybe not as attractive as the bomb, but just as effective.

Quick question about Sweet Japanese Girl - how many times a day should I use it? I used to wash my face twice a day with general cleanser/anti-acne soap, and I'm now using SJG at night and the other soap in the morning. Is this okay? Should I change to using SWG twice a day and ditch the other soap? I'm using the other soap with SWG because it really helps with my oily face. That's OK. I'd add Herbalism to your routine. What's the "other soap"? Thanks, Brookie. The other soap is just generic anti-acne soap. I don't think I'll be able to get to my nearest Lush until next week, so I'm going to use SWG twice a day until and see if it makes my face oily. If it does, then I'll use Herbalism.

Get some "Coal Face" soap too - or ask for a sample. It's for oily, problem skin, but doesn't strip it out and make it dry and brittle. I use it when my face gets congested and it decongests and clears it up.

Got my LUSH shipment yesterday! I really like Big shampoo, although I wasn't sure I would. It's such a weird texture, but I like it, so far. I also got my beloved HSuan Wen Hua treatment and some Retread, as well as a Therapy bar and some Coolaulin (I loooove that stuff). I'm thinking of doing the hair treatment tonight while I watch a movie and pamper myself, since I have a cold.
I'm going to try to get out to the LUSH store in Oakbrook this weekend so I can use my gift card. I'm going to get Dream Cream (I've been itching to try it), some more Aquamarina (can never have enough), and I'm going to treat myself to a bubble bar. The Comforter sounds nice. I prefer bubble bars to bath bombs -- they feel more decadent. And I loves me some bubble baths.

You want decadent, use a bubble bar and a ballistic. Butterball goes with EVERYTHING, and the cocoa butter in it makes your skin gorgeous. Its Friday here, so Im gonna wind down tonight with Comforter and Butterball and a few candles around the bath. YUM!

More decadent - add a bath melt (solid bath oil). Candles, wine, a great book, or your bath partner giving you the onceover with a Buffy bar. Whooee!

Since I got hooked on LUSH "late in life" I missed out on the voting and ordering of the D/C items. Actually I saw it in the forum, but as a runner I put it together wrong and actually thought there would be some type of run in Washington D.C. **Yes, I am dumb** **I also missed out ordering the Lime Smoothie** I'm a citrus junkie so just about everything I buy has some background in a citrus oil. So I called the website and they said they were taking orders just in case either someone didn't want their product or they had made more...both a pretty big leap, but I told him I wanted the Lime...and he said that was the only one that hadn't gotten a wait list yet. I'm not sure to be happy that I'm first or worried that no one is gonna flake out on that one. I also called both SF stores and they also put me on a list to call if they had extra, but both SA were really busy so I'm not sure if I even got on a "list", but I don't want to call and ask again, just in case I am on a list...then I'd look like a total dork. So all you lucky Lushie's out there that got to pre order...just think of us late Lushie's who are hoping against hope that there will be just one jar left of my beloved Lime Smoothie Say Goodnight prayers to the Lime God for me ;D

I know, I can't wait for the my D/C order to come in! I have some other stuff to buy as well when I get to Chicago, so I'm debating trying to get to a store the weekend after I get there just to get the essentials, or waiting until the D/Cs come in and I get the phone call so I can just make one honking huge purchase all at once.
Shanmac, where is the Oakbrook store out of curiosity? I'm trying to figure out which store will be the most convenient for me on a regular basis.
