The new Lush Christmas products are in. While I generally resent the Christmas season for kicking off before Thanksgiving -- come on, people, one month per holiday is more than enough -- I can't exactly say that I object to getting more time to try out these once-a-year goodies. I hit Lush yesterday, and snagged some Champagne Snow Showers (the ( Read more... )

It is possible that the new Black Pearl ballistics may be, in fact, the sexiest bath products ever created.

I may actually have to deal with paying Lush shipping rates to get a couple of these before they hit the United States stores. Unless someone out there happens to be coming to OVFF and susceptible to bribery...

Thanks to the amazing and delightful firestrike getting together with the wonderful and enthralling mokatiki and pola_bear at WorldCon, I have been blissfully united with my first wave of Lush jellies and creams. Glee! To be specific, I've got ( Read more... )

This week has been largely awful -- hence the focus on what I'm wearing/reading/eating/anything that doesn't involve focusing on the flock of ducks working industriously to nibble me to death. I am morally and ethically opposed to drawing too much attention to the ducks, largely because I don't like to reward evil waterfowl for bad behaviour ( Read more... )

Big shampoo (LUSH) + Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo (LUSH) + Sheer Blonde Deep Conditioner (Pantene) + Sheer Blonde Detangling Foam (Pantene) = total movie star hair, suitable for tossing, teasing, preening and peering through. And it's well-behaved, too! I am in my ( Read more... )

The good: Flying Colours got the second and third volumes of 'Noble Causes' in this week (a series which I will talk about at more length in a little bit), and so I was able to pick those up; ah, for the glory of an additional addiction. And when I told Joe that I had to work the weekend, he gave me a ten-percent discount on the second hardcover ' ( Read more... )

All right: if you've been reading this journal for any length of time, you know that I'm a total Lush Cosmetics addict. I admit it. I use my products carefully (I choose them even more carefully), I enjoy them greatly, and I take my time going through what I have...but that doesn't make me any less addicted. Right now, my hair smells of Big, ( Read more... )

Okay, I need about a gallon and a half of Flying Fox shower gel from Lush. I walked over there after work and bought a bottle, part out of curiousity and part because it just sounded really splendid. Then I came home, prepped dinner, and took a shower ( Read more... )

Yesterday turned out to be my best accidental retail therapy day in quite some time ( Read more... )

(This is the first of the 'Seanan catches up on her weekend' entries. For things actually relating to say, today, you're gonna have to wait a little while. Sorry about the confusion.)

Upon getting out of bed Saturday morning, I went out into the front room to discover not one, but two unexpected packages occupying my chair. Hmmmm. I adore ( Read more... )
