noo!closing both stores?wow
hope not for long.

NVMom, if I decide to give my Rock Star soap away, I'll think of you first.

Jeff, too bad about your store closing.

I received my second order today!

I got my order today.

Potion solid perfume: Too strong.

Champagne Snow Showers solid perfume: At first sniff, it had a fresh bubbly orange fragrance to it. But I decided to try it out on my wrists & it started to smell nicer. It's not my favorite, but I find it to be OK. I reccomend it to people who like citrus scents.

Sultana Of Soap (received as sample): This has a sweet fruity scent. I can't really describe it, but it's nice. I'll be trying this one out in the bath sometime soon.

Fryl, what's the yellow soap that you got a sample of?

Megan, the yellow soap I got a sample of is Sexy Peel.
The one below, which you can't see in the picture, is Extra Virgin Olive Oil soap, it's a green colour.

Sexy Peel smells like a lemon cough drop.

Sultana of Soap is one of my favorite Lush soaps. Megan, I find it interesting that you pick up a sweet, "fruity" scent. I have never been able to describe it, except that it is very moisturizing and "different." lol Let you know how you like it once you try it.

Fryl, what scent is Snow Fairy? The color is very pretty .

Gizmo, to me Snow Fairy is a sweet and fruity, candy-ish scent, with a touch of that hard to describe LUSH powdery/ Earthy note. I've read some reviews on it, and some people think it smells like bananas, but I don't get that from it.

I wanted to look up the scent description but it's not on the LUSH website anymore, but if memory serves me correctly it said something about sparkly vanilla(?).
HTH.

I have some bad news. I don't think I'll be able to wear my Champagne Snow Showers solid perfume anymore. I was feeling nauseous yesterday & now I'm associating the scent w/ my nausea. But other than that, it's an OK scent.

Fryl, I like Sexy Peel too. It's my favorite of the lemon scents I've tried. In fact, I'm tempted to make another smallish order (even though I really shouldn't). Also if you like that scent, you might want to consider voting for Back For Breakfast shower gel when the discon round comes up. I've heard those 2 are supposed to be very similar smelling.

And another interesting thing for me to note about Sultana soap is that for some reason it also reminds me of a freshly showered man. That's not a bad thing though.

I was way off.
Here's what's on the bottle:
Candy floss pink and sweet as sugar. With iridescent sparkles (I got that almost right ) and a hint of wicked fruitiness.

I sniffed it again, and it does smell like bananas to me now.
All in all it's definitely a scent worth trying.

I opened a Snowcake soap this morning. It's probably going to be used up in no time, since it melts away so easily. It's really soft on the skin though. I even used it on my face and it didn't dry it out.

Megan, Sexy Peel is a great scent. I don't really like lemon scent, so I am surprised at how much I like it. It's so fresh and makes me happy inside when I sniff it.

Can you post a link to the poll? I have visited the LUSH forum only once or twice, so I have no idea where to look.

Fryl, the discon round for this year hasn't started yet. Last year the voting started in Apr. As soon as I know anything, I'll be posting about it.

Thanks a bunch Fryl for the info. Once I read banana, I was excited. I also checked the website, and its not on there . I am hoping it wasnt just out for the holidays. Does anyone know if this is still available in stores?

Snow Fairy is only for the holidays. Sorry to say...

Gizmo, if you're interested in trying Snow Fairy, I have a small bottle looking for a new home.

Thanks for the info BodycareAddict!!!

Yay Megan! Thank you, a PM is heading your way .

I'm guessing that this is only a holiday item, but is Snowcake still available on the website? And how much do they charge for shipping? I might place my first order... I just don't know what to get! So many choices! Recommendations please!

Miss V, the shipping for my orders normally has been $8 & change. Although that looks a little steep, it's due to the fact that they use Fed Ex & the stuff comes all the way from western Canada. Snowcake was a seasonal item, but it'll most likely be back around Oct.

As far as my reccomendations, here goes:
Honey I Washed The Kids soap & solid perfume: Yummy honey smell!
Sexy Peel soap: Nice lemon scent.
Alkmaar soap: Very creamy lather & nice light/medium floral scent. It's supposedly a jasmine scent. I normally detest jasmines, but I think this is gorgeous.
Ring Of Roses buttercream: Roses & lemon...lovely smell.
Massage bars: I think Soft Couer is nice (has the HIWTK scent) as well as Mange Too (honey & white chocolate).

My favourites starting with what I love most:
Soft Coeur massage bar.
Snow Fairy shower gel (seasonal)
American Cream perfume solid/ conditioner
HIWTK soap
Snowcake (seasonal)

The only thing I think I would be interested in buying is the HIWTK soap. But I can't justify paying $8 shipping for only one item... Boo...
