harvey try a Buffy bar in the shower to exfoliate the arm bumps away. I get the same on my upper arms, it looks all ashy if I dont keep it exfoliated. I use a shower jelly inside an exfoliating glove (cost less than $2 a pair!) and that gives me yummy smells and the exfoliation I need.

I was wandering around the neighborhood, and there's a Lush about a three minute walk away from my dorm. I only bought travel sized toiletries with me to save luggage space, so I need new stuff. Obviously, it's time for my first Lush trip. However, I'm quite poor. What one single product would you recommend? I have a bit of a problem with acne, as well as the little red bumps on my arms (I forget what they're called). I don't like to spend a lot of time grooming and such--I more or less like to shower and go. What should I buy? Ask for samples first. Tell them what is happening to your skin and then get samples. That way you can try it out for a few days or so.

Ohhhhhhh, my Lush store is hiring casual Xmas staff and a part time SA... and theres also a trainee managers position opening up!! I'm polishing up my CV - I havent had a job interview in yeeeears, but I had a good long chat to the manager and I dont think it will be a problem. Fingers crossed!! Whooee! You go, girl! The discount alone is worth it.

Congrats Ang on your 1000th post - you're officially hooked on this nonsense!!!
We put in an order two days ago at the shop; when it arrives, it'll have some of the new "Nutts" massage bars. We'll each get one to "play with". Can't wait. I adore our massage bars; they are SO moisturizing. I also got my discontinued items on Tuesday - two Be Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful shower gels (four kinds of honey), two Flying Saucers shower gels (honey and ylang ylang, so pretty), a Flowerbomb bubble bar (smells like Jungle hair conditioner), and a Psychodelic bubble bar (love the colors - they exactly match my bathroom). Detroit LUSHIES - our shop will have some extra discon stuff left over, so if you're in the neighborhood this Saturday (when our discon party is), stop in and see what we've got. (Stop in anyway! I'll be there from 6-8:30pm.)

I have a question for your Lush-ers. So my second order of Lush just arrived and, with it, my second tub of Herbalism. What texture is Herbalism supposed to have exactly? Because my first tub had an oily feel to it, with just a little bit of almond to exfoliate, and made a paste really quick. This second tub? Very dry and likes to crumble apart (it doesn't want to make a paste). It also has these clear green chunks in it (and by chunks, I mean really small chunks, like small rock salt) that I don't remember being in my first tub. Is there a bad batch going around and I got some of it, or did they reformulate, or what? Also, how exactly do you use the Tea Tree Water? Can you just spray it on?
BTW--thank you guys so much for introducing me to Lush! I've lurked here since the other forums exploded (and lurked there for four years), and y'all have me loving Lush and addicting to BPAL. My skin (which usually has deep, big, cystic zits) has never looked better and is nearly perfectly clear. So thanks--a lot!

Oh, man. I love the hubby-to-be. He was shopping for clothes (he needed stuff for the honeymoon -- all his clothes were ancient) and just called me. "Hey, I'm at LUSH. I'm going to get you a treat; what do you want?" *Swoon* I requested The Olive Branch, which I've been wanting to try. Squee!
ETA: Sorry, I've never used Herbalism, so I can't help. Brookie?

Hi Mimishell,
I don't use Herbalism, so I'll leave the answer to someone who does.
Yes, you can spray the toner directly onto yourself.
When taking off make-up/dirt I'll spray it onto a cotton pad to wipe away the muck.
I'll spray it on me right before I put on my moisturizer. Helps me use less and make sure it spreads a little easier.
Shanmac, you have yourself a great guy there!

Every batch of everything is different. One batch of "Herbalism" may have had a little more of something in it than the current batch does. That's what happens when products are hand made vs. made by machines. The batch we have now is pretty crumbly too.
If you're not satisfied, return it and request a replacement or try the AoBS.
