I have perfumes that correspond with my favourite original/fan characters, from Lush. Specifically for that purpose.
Yep.

1000 Kisses Deep - (mandarin, myrrh and musk) - Giles Darling, my ridiculous WWII era mathematician. He’s mostly a mathematician in my head, until I get bored and decide that he’s also a courtesan in the mid-1800s, if only to give me an excuse to write pirates, porn and blatant angst.Ginger - (ginger, mimosa, juniper) - Ingus, my ridiculous, straight-laced soldier.Dirty - (spearmint, thyme, sandalwood) - Setzer Gabbiani, who I used to rp obsessively, because… yeah. It’s Setzer Gabbiani, that’s why.The Smell of Weather Turning - (oakwood, english peppermint, hay, nettles) - Hershel Layton, who I rp with a good friend of mine and occasionally write fic about when I’m bored.Dear John - (lime, pine, clove, cedarwood, coffee) - John Watson. Not even kidding. And I found it in solid form. It goes perfectly with my stupid, stripey jumper.
… Yeah, so, I’m mildly obsessive, but it actually helps with writing, sometimes.
But it’s mostly an excuse to eventually buy every existing solid perfume from Lush. (I used to work there. Can you tell, at all?)

My Positivity Card!

I’ve meant to make this post for a while, but I got my card from Positivity Cards about a week and a half ago and I just got around to putting it up on my wall. :D

I used my Lush wrapping paper and some butterfly paper that I found a while ago to centre it. <3

I decided to make an informative post-it note on an Arriva Trains pad to remind me to look at it if I was ever feeling down. :D

And the lovely message!

I adore my card and am totally glad that I have it. <3 You guys should go check it out in the link above. Fuck yeah. :D

Lush 2011 Discontinuation List (Updated).

lushiesunite:

coggels:

‘The Mafia’ (collective of decision makers at the company) are currently cycling through the Lush inventory over and over (and over) in attempt to whittle out what they wish to discontinue. As of today - (03/09/2011) - this is the unconfirmed list.

Which simply means it hasn’t been finalised.

Ballistics:

Bubble Bars:

Soap:

Emotibombs:

Jellies:

Massage Bars:

Skincare:

Hair:

Deoderants:

I don’t understand this list; half of the shower stuff is going!  Either the company is in financial trouble and they’re trying to downsize in attempt to save some money, or they’ve got a lot more products up their sleeve than they’ve initially let on.

Time will tell.

:( This is sad. Lots of shower stuff… I’ll definitely miss the emotibombs. The good news for us here in NA is that we probably won’t get a discon list like this for a while (and ours may or may not include all of these products), so we still have some time to give some love to these products before we need to stock up. I hope the reasons for having such a large list have to do with new products, though!

What

WHAT

WHY would you discontinue BOTH of the mint based soaps? And all of the shower emotibombs? And Sandstone? Really? Really?!

LUSH, STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP BEING RIDICULOUSSSS. ;____;

…. actually, I am glad that the deodorants are going. They are uniformly terrible and when I worked at Lush, I literally refused to recommend it to a single soul after one or two of my friends had the skin under their arms BLISTER.

Good riddance to that, but what the fuck to the rest.

Lush Hong Kong has Calacas, Snow Showers, Twilight, and Uluru shower gels right now!

lushiesunite:

I would order, but I haven’t heard of any one else ordering from there before… it’s Lush, so I’m sure customer service is excellent — still just a little wary of shipping!

If anyone’s interested, they can be found here on the Lush Hong Kong website!

……..

Went on the website, signed up, calculated the costs, put my stuff in the basket…


Error: No shipping options are available.


……..
;________;
My soul just shattered.
Bawwwwwww.

My Lush Perfume haul!
I went into the Portsmouth Lush and was super delighted to find that they were one of the ten shops in the country to be selected to carry Lush&#8217;s additional Gorilla perfume line! I didn&#8217;t manage to get any additional information about it as they were all very tight lipped about whether or not it would ever eventually spread (didn&#8217;t want to say yes or no, but did stress the limited quantities), but I did get a few goodies to take home!
Pictured above: a full sized 1000 Kisses solid perfume and sample sized Ladyboy, Dear John, Superworld Unknown and The Smell of Weather Turning.
The sample sized bottles were about £2.50 to £3.75, which is a super awesome idea! It pumped up my purchase from £5.50 to £15, but the manager was awesome and gave me a free Ladyboy sample (&#8230; Pfft haha

My WOMAD (World of Music and Dance) Lush Palette <3

Because I feel like taking lots of Lush pictures. :D

I live on the estate where the WOMAD festival is taking place (and thus get to hear my shutters rattle with the OONTZ OONTZ OONTZes of the distant music), so I get the divine luxury of not having to choose between my Lush products and having a real goddamn shower. Oh, and free tickets for putting up with the traffic / drunk people / rich bastards that are paying an obscene amount of money to camp out in my garden.

(Pictured above: my back garden path, our trampoline, lichen, rich bastards who spend literally up to £2300 to sleep in my back yard.
Pictured below: what they make it look like on the website.)

OKAY. Anyway, nobody cares, so onto the Lush! Totally abused my little sister’s dollhouse for this, but oh well. :D

(Pictured: Dirty Springwash Shower Gel, Jungle Solid Conditioner, Jackie Oates Colour Supplement)

I absolutely love Dirty Springwash. It is the singlemost abused bottle of shower gel that I own, simply because it gets the kick of Freeze and the nice, kind of chill and outdoorsy scent, like Tramp. Also, the smell of menthol! Hair softening properties! AWESOME!

I’ve always been a fan of Jungle since I worked there a few years ago and, again, the scent is rich and feels like it belongs outdoors. I’ve gotta swipe it several times over my hair, but it smells delicious and does wonders when I’m not in the mood for American Cream.

Jackie Oates is my newest buddy. Tried it a few weeks ago as an alternative to my old concealer (that I no longer used, since it was ancient and drying out) and it works like an absolute charm. I was glad to find it, as the other dark/light pinks/yellows didn’t really fit my skin tone. (It’s also amazing at covering up hickies, :D )

(Pictured: 9 to 5 Cleanser, Eau Roma Water Toner, Godiva Solid Shampoo Bar, Buffy Body Butter)

9 to 5 is something that I tried at about the same time that I got my Jackie Oates and it works like a charm. I’ve already removed an entire day of festival muck, dark eye make-up and Jackie Oates- and I expect I’ll do it again tonight, so that’s why it’s up here on my festival list. <3 Absolutely essential.

Eau Roma Water is my favourite toner. Just perfect for a swift puff of cool air, a nice scent and something to soften my skin a bit. <3

Godiva is a long-suffering product of mine. It goes through being taken overseas to visit my dad, being slung around in my very dented travel tin and being scrubbed vigorously all over my hair, but it doesn’t complain very often. :D It’s always there for that whiff of jasmine and ylang ylang and that bit of extra hydration that I need with its cocoa butter. Amazing for travel, if you let it dry properly!

Last but not least is my personal favourite, Buffy the backside slayer. :D Aduki beans and shea butter scrub and moisturise perfectly, as you’d expect from one of the wildly popular Lush products. <3

(Pictured: It Started With A Kiss lip tint, Ice Blue soap and Ocean Salt.)

Ocean Salt is my answer to hangovers where your skin feels greasy and miserable and you need the salty shove to get back out of bed and into the living world. :D This pot hasn’t been used yet, but I’ve got about fifty itty bitty sample pots that my former coworker heaped in my bag when I went for my last Lush USA visit, so I’m definitely using it. <3

Ice Blue smells incredible. I used to use it to shave until I got the Dirty shaving cream, but now I just use it for a soft, almost kind of creamy mint smell. Compliments Dirty Springwash peeeerfectly.

It Started With A Kiss is a wonderful lip tint, although I hate that I missed Snow Fairy! It can get a bit too red, so I tend to blot it out a bit with some tissue and it looks much better. :D

OKAY.

That’s about it, I guess!

I will stop pretending that people totally care about my Lush product choices. :D
