I absolutely love Lush. I'm obsessed with soaps so I feel like a kid in a candy store.
Here's what I've bought over the years and my take on them.
American Cream Conditioner: My very first Lush purchase. It smells DIVINE. I get really sad when I'm running out of this or if my local Lush doesn't have the big size. Some say it doesn't condition much but I found that it works perfectly after using Big Shampoo.
Big Shampoo: It smells amazing! Sometimes it feels a little drying but I think that's when I use too much. A little goes a long way esp. when you use more the "gooey" seaweed part.
Honey I Washed The Kids: I have NEVER EVER liked solid soaps. I've always been a bodywash kind of girl. Until I smelled Honey I Washed The Kids. Seriously it has turned me into a soap queen! It smells AMAZING and people will be sniffing you all day like you're wearing perfume.
Snowcake Soap: OMG OMG I am so happy that it's out for the holiday season already. This also smells amazing. It reminds me of my favorite Venetial cookie. And it's so creamy and soft. I always feel the urge to eat it.
Honey Trap Lip Balm: It was amazing at first but it just wasn't all that after the first week. Since I spent some money on it I use it as a "solid perfume" on my wrists.
Buffy Body Butter: Great, gentle exfoliation that doesn't feel so harsh.
Soft Coeur Massage Bar: Very very very very very very wonderful smell. OMG I can smell myself all day when I wear this. It is so sensual and it gives off just the right amount of oil without feeling too greasy. I often wera this as a solid perfume as well and I love to give this as a gift for a bridal shower. Actually I give a LOT of Lush stuff for bridal gifts.
Shimmy shimmy: Amazing like SC but with sparkles. I love to use them with my bf.
Dream Cream: Smells wonderful. Not my favorite to moisturize.
Vanilla Delite: This was a sample because I love vanilla scents but this one smelled too foody. I like more gourmand vanilla I guess.
Fair Trade Foot Cream: OMG it is really really smooth. I love to put a dollop of this after my feet have been freshly scrubbed with Buffy.
Angels On Bareskin: HEAVENLY!!! One of my fave Lush products ever. I mainly use Philosophy Pure Cleanser but every few days I will use this on top of that. It makes my face so baby bottom smooth and it smells amazing. I love love the lavender and the almond combination. When I use this I feel like my face is so amazing that I don't need to put any moisturizer on.
Herbalism: Not bad but not as good as Angels On Bareskin.
Aqua Marina: I got this in a sample once. It was good but I felt like I was slathering on salmon. Wasn't compelling enough for me to buy the full size.
Tea Tree Water: My first ever stab at a toner. I guess they are not for me because I was so pissed I spent money on it. I felt like it was a big waste of money and ended up giving it to one of my cousins. It smells nice on a hot summer day. That is probably the only nice thing I will ever say about it.
Vanishing Cream: Great great moisturizer. A little really did go a long way.
Cinnamon Solid Shampoo: I love the smell and it really made my hair feel healthier. Don't know about the "making your hair longer" claim as it did no such thing for me.
Coolaulin Conditioner: I was going through a dry hair phase in the summer and bought this in hopes that the coconut would help. First, the smell is HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE AND NASTY AND UGHH. Another one of those products that I wish I asked a sample of before buying a full-sized bottle!!!!! It also did nothing for my hair. Doesn't even come remotely close to the amazingness of American Cream.
Sugar Scrub: Nice and effective.
Sweetie Pie shower jelly: One of my first Lush purchases a few years ago. It has a lovely smell and it's fun in the shower....sometimes. Sometimes it's too much work trying to hold on to the darn thing. Even when I would tuck it into my sponge! Fun while it lasted. Maybe a nice soap to use when you're giving your toddler a bath. Until I have kids, I won't be buying this again anytime soon.
Heavenly Bodies buttercream: Oh my god. I absolutely hate the combination of orange with chocolate but somehow I am addicted to this buttercream. It's so amazing in the shower you don't feel like you need to put on lotion afterwards. I sometimes use it as a solid perfume....it's so creamy that it doesn't feel sticky or filmy on the skin even sans water!
Porridge soap: AMAZING! When I use it as handsoap in the sink it smells really nice and creamy but somehow when I use it in the shower with the warm water it gives off this toasted oat smell. Like the oats are being cooked in the shower! I don't know how else to describe it. It's so wonderful and mild and sometimes I like to use it on my face as a cleanser.
Sultana soap: I liked it but again it was not compelling enough to buy it again.
Rhassoul soap: I sort of like masculine scents so this was very nice. I love patchouli so I was really happy to find a soap that was soaked in it!
Ma Bar bubble bar: Combines my favorite food scents: chocolate and almonds! It's so luxurious and amazing. I love to pair it with my Honeybee bath bomb.
French kiss bubble bar: Smelled too much like sage. I really had high hopes for this one.
Flosty Gritter bubble bar: Bought this two weeks ago but haven't used it yet. It smells amazing and very much like American Cream so I know it will be amazing.
And now my favorite thing about Lush...the bath bombs!
Sex Bomb: First bath bomb I have ever used and is what got me hooked. I'm not usually a floral fragrance person because I feel like they don't do the flowers any justice but OMG this is amazing! It's so beautiful and it really does condition my skin. I also love love how it makes my bathroom smell. I often keep my tub full even after I have finished my bath just for the scent alone! I also have a friend who never cared for bath bombs who became totally addicted when i got her this.
Vanilla Fountain: Very rich smell even though the water looks funny lol.
Butterball: Closely tied with Sex Bomb as my favorite Lush products. I was concerned because it was much smaller than the other bath bomb but boy did I find out how potent and wonderful it is!
Honeybee: Like I said I love to combine this with the Ma Bubble because they smell amazing together.
Ok that's pretty much every single Lush product that I have tried and my opinion of them. I guess that's a little excessive.
I'm so used to how velvety the Let Them Eat Cake one was. Is this normal for the texture of the the chocolate balm? I'm really tempted to turn my hairdryer on it to melt it a bit

I haven't tried the sugar scrub and the mask yet.
