Masks -Unlisted Brand - Aspirin Mask

BE VERY CAREFUL OF THIS STUFF!!! I think I got an allergic reaction to this mask. I broke out in hives on my back and some other areas overnight, and I didn't change anything else except use this mask. No results from it either! Use another mask, such as Got 2B's pure intent.

Shampoo -LUSH - Hybrid
rated 1 of 5

The lemon smell is very nice, however it crumbled very easily and it was very difficult working it into my long, thick hair. A "few swipes" on the scalp, as the instructions say, did nothing. Did not lather well either. I will try this again as I got a huge chunk from a promo. Maybe it was too old?

Lip Treatments -Kinerase - Lip Treatment
rated 5 of 5
Xuku 2/23/2006 4:25:00 AM

Awesome lip treatment! Though none of the other Kinerase products do a thing for me, this one has helped. All Kinerase products are quite expensive, but this one is actually worth it. I have year-round extremely dry and chapped lips, and most lip balms and treatments just make it worse. This one, however, is very different. This is only applied twice a day--morning and night. Instead of being waxy/sticky/slick, its very smooth with a consistency more like slightly watery lotion. Thus, it sinks right in instead of just sitting on top of the lips. I generally don't even apply anything on my lips, and can't wear any color or else it ends up looking like a strange mosaic of peelings--but this product may change that. Of course, my lips haven't instantly healed but there is definate improvement (I don't know if some results may have been contributed by my new diet though). It is also suppose to plump the lips--which I believe it has also done a bit of, but I really didn't want this effect (my lips are really thick already)--oh well. Hopefully the effect will continue. A nice thing on the side is that though there is not suppose to be a flavor, it reminds me of coconut milk.

Bath Treatments -LUSH - French Kiss Bubble Bar
rated 3 of 5

Prettiest bubble bar. It looks cute and delicate, and produced many bubbles like all Lush bars tend to do. Relaxing scent too--but waaay too expensive!

Scent was too faint. The bit I did smell was not pleasing.

Bath Treatments -LUSH - Blackberry Bath Bomb
rated 3 of 5
Xuku 2/23/2006 4:04:00 AM

Nice scent, but wasn't strong enough for me. Maybe I shouldve used it sooner. Didn't moisturize much either, but left the water a lovely shade.

Scrubs -LUSH - You Snap the Whip Body Butter
rated 3 of 5
Xuku 2/23/2006 4:01:00 AM

Smells absolutely amazing and addicting. Exfoliates well, but sometimes a little too harsh. Does not moisturize. I only used this in the shower and it didn't make a black mess at all--not sure about in the bath.

Scrubs -LUSH - Aqua Mirabillis
rated 4 of 5
Xuku 2/23/2006 3:57:00 AM

I LOVE the scent of this. I'd get it again just for the scent. As an exfoliator, its slightly too gentle for me. Did not really moisturize me well enough either, and melts way too fast. But the scent is awesome.

Bath Treatments -LUSH - Sex Bomb
rated 3 of 5
Xuku 2/23/2006 3:54:00 AM

The scent wasn't strong enough--but maybe I left it unused too long. I didn't notice any moisturizing either. I'd probably buy it again just for the lovely looks/pinkish water to share with someone ;)

Bath Treatments -LUSH - Bath Bombs
rated 4 of 5
Xuku 2/23/2006 3:52:00 AM

Lush makes the best bath bombs. They are quite expensive though--but so are all the other brands. So why not treat yourself to the best once in awhile? I love the freshness and ingredients of these bombs. Read the reviews though--some almost do nothing except fizz around!

Lotions/ Creams -LUSH - Potion lotion
rated 4 of 5
Xuku 2/23/2006 3:47:00 AM

When I first got it, I definately didn't expect the scent. It smelled very synthetic and cheap to me. However, the lotion itself had a nice consistency and moisturized well. After awhile though, the scent grew on me--a lot. I love it now! Though it may seem a little strong at first, it only lingers slightly after awhile--which is perfect. I won't repurchase though, cuz I may try the other lotions.

Bath Treatments -LUSH - Butterball Bath Bomb
rated 5 of 5
Xuku 2/23/2006 3:43:00 AM

Very cute little bomb. This is probably the most emollient bomb Lush has. I didn't notice much of a scent sadly. This is great for treating yourself to a rich bath once in awhile.

Scrubs -Alba Botanica - Sugar Cane Body Polish
rated 5 of 5
Xuku 2/23/2006 3:38:00 AM

Awesome smelling scrub. Its not at all harsh, yet exfoliates very well. If you add some water, it turns a little milky, which I love. I don't need to use lotion afterwards. Takes a long time to finish using it all. Sadly, the scent doesnt linger.

Fragrances -Origins - Ginger Essence
rated 4 of 5
Xuku 2/23/2006 3:33:00 AM

I wish I got the perfume version, but they were out. This is actually my first real scent that I've ever bought. I was really attracted to it, maybe because it smelled slightly like Philosophy's Gingerbread stuff. I remember being very tired coming into the store, but after smelling this scent, I felt more awake. Very lovely :) Fresh and invigorating
