I'm expecting a package from Lush sometime this week. I didn't have great success with the shampoo bars in the past, but am going to try again now that some are sodium sulfate lauryl free. I'm also trying out one of the hair gels, I forget the name of the one I ordered, but I think it's the one with the medium hold. I'm taking a gamble on the Ginger perfume, since I've ordered a bottle without smelling it. I've been looking for a signature perfume for awhile, without great success. (For some reason, whenever I buy a bottle of Shalimar--which I do like very much--the perfume always loses its scent after a few months.) I really like Silky Underwear solid perfume but it wears off really quickly. Too bad it doesn't come as a liquid perfume. I hope I like Ginger.

You know Brookie I was thinking of doing that, I've been using the body butters, well Buffy and it's just nothing I can use all the time, it's too harsh but I thougsing Therapy after the shower might be exactally what I need. I've now turned my best friend into a lush maniac. She loves AOBS but needs a daily cleanser. She has rosacea and Ultrabland is just too oily for her, any reccommendations for rosacea, acne prone, oily skin. She wants a moisturizer too but doesn't no where to start...and she has no Lush near by so I am her supplier I don't have rosacea but I have oily, acne-prone and super-sensitive skin. I use Fresh Farmacy, Eau Roma Water and Gorgeous ever morning and Ocean Salt, Eau Roma Water and Gorgeous every night. Fresh Farm is very gentle, it has calomine powder and lavendar, which both soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. Eau Roma water has lavender to soothe. I have noticed A LOT less overall redness since I started using this a few months ago. I used to use Tea Tree Water toner, which I think was good for the ance but it made my whole face much pinker. Gorgeous is one of the few LUSH moisturizers that doesn't have cocoa butter. Cocoa butter (for some, not all) is very, very pore-clogging. After much trial and error with LUSH moisturizers, this is the one that works best for me (of course, the $85 one!!). Ocean Salt may be too harsh for your friend's rosacea. Perhaps you can get here a sample and she can give it a try that way? I love it. It keeps my face super-smooth and clear. And it smells like manna from heaven.

Traffic and I hit up LUSH tonight. We haven't been there since before MissP was born. The clerk remembered us right away. Asked about the baby, and then sold Traffic some shower bombs. Then we snarked about Skanks of Love III.

Cool! I LOVE Love Lettuce. It works great, it exfoliates, it leaves my skin SO soft. It smells dreamy... but then again, I am a total lavender whore. I've also used Cosmetic Warrior, which is supposed to be perfect for my oily skin but A) it did nothing for me and B) it stinks to high heaven. Eww! I can't even think about it. I also tried a sample of Cupcake once and it was fabulous, too. Smells delish, works great. My skin was glowing afterwards.

Love Lettuce and Cupcake are amazing for oily skin - we always sell out of those. We can't ever keep enough Cupcake to last the week. My current favorite is Brazen Honey - it has ground almonds and exfoliates as you remove it. My skin just glows when I use it. I also LURVE Ayesha - it's good for plumping up fine lines. (Middle-aged folks like me eat that kinda stuff up with a spoon!!)

I'm usually pretty cheap when it comes to my skincare. I've only just recently started to dip my toes in the LUSH pool by buying Coalface and some solid shampoos (Great for travel). Since I began using Retin-A creme, I've noticed that my skin is all over the place more than usual. It's oily in places with dry skin on top and I get pimples to the sides of my chin during and after my period.
So I broke down and bought some Aqua Marina and really splurged on Gorgeous moisturizer. Damn! My face looks a lot better after three weeks! No more flakes off my skin and the zits seem to be under control. I've got my period right now and my face is clear (although I'm still waiitng to see if I get any later this week). I'm really happy with the results even if Gorgeous set me back nearly $90. I'm hoping it lasts a good, long time.

Tip---use a toner with the Gorgeous and it'll last you a few months longer. Gorgeous has worked wonders for me---as in, I feel comfortable going out without makeup now because my skin is so bright and clear. Sometimes stuff really is worth the moola.

Wow, good idea! Do you just apply a little of the Gorgeous on your toner-damp face?

Why would a toner make a difference?
