of converts and buttercreams, oh my.

So! It seems I've made an accidental LUSH convert out of my picky father. ;) He was the type of person I had to twist the arm of to step foot in a LUSH store because he complained that it was too much of a "sensory overload." Pshaw, right? It happened on the fateful day he ran out of his commercial hairgels ( he's growing his hair back out and it's

I guess you could consider my now-husband an accidental convert. See, we were in an LDR back in March of 2006, and I was going to visit him, (he was in Lemont/Chi Suburbs and I was in Michigan, which back then had no Lush stores. Chicago had 2 at the time, I think they have 3 now.) and he, knowing I wanted to try Lush, suggesting hitting on of the Chicago stores after I got off the train. While I was there, he noticed a bottle of I Love Juicy and it's all downhill from there. :) He loves ILJ and Freeze (which when he heard it was going Retro he ordered 2 500ml bottles of) and a few of the soaps, and King of the Mods is awesome for his thin, fly-away hair without making it greasy.

We're now one hardcore Lush pair. Nearly all the toiletries we own are Lush and we've even installed a rack & basket in our shower to hold our 500 ml bottles of shampoos and shower gels. :)

Absolutely cute. ♥ I can see that though, it's definitely hard to go back to using other brands when you've used LUSH products, it's only a matter of time before everything in the bathroom starts matching!

I think the only non-lush stuff we use every day is the dental stuff and I have some allergy/congestion salts...that's really about it. All my other bath stuff is Lush, all our soaps, shower gels, shampoo, conditioner, shaving stuff...face masks, hair gel....oh! I have some hair-spray that's not Lush (since Lush doesn't make that.) but I don't use it much.

Same with the dental and some hair products like hairspray and scrunching spray. Usually though I'm using King of the Mods to keep my fine hair from rebelling and going into 'fro-mode at work. Then I keep some other products from Villainess and BPAL around, mostly perfume and scrubs.

My husband's a convert. Not really accidentally, though, since I kinda forced him to start using Lush. Now, he can't live without his Tramp shower gel and his Prince shave cream! :D

I did the same to my younger brother; he denies it now but he's very guilty of filching half a youki-hi bathbomb and a sunnyside bubblebar from me. 8)

I converted my bf, although it hardly took any convincing, he took to it immediately. He loves Karma and uses the liquid & solid perfumes, and the dusting powder every day without fail! And we use nothing but Lush haircare and bath stuff. :D

Hey, I'm from Arizona too! I feel ya on the hot summer. :) You made me wanna try a buttercream!

You guys must make an amazing smelling pair♥! Especially with perfumes and dusting powders on that list.

Oh I totally know it, even just coming home from work makes you feel all disgusting. If you can get past the funky in-shower smell, Emperor of Icecream is super refreshing and smooth when frozen. I've been wanting to toss a block of Ice Blue in the freezer and see how that works out too.

seems like all lush converts are significant others or men in our lives. go figure.

i got my boyfriend to start using the haircare. he was raving about the smell of i ♥ juicy for weeks, and soak & float is the only thing he's ever used that keeps his scalp even moderately happy. he still thinks i'm a tad crazy (i'm an SA, my bathroom is quite literally exploding with bombs and black tubs), but certainly has no complaints when my skin is silky soft, i come home from work smelling amazing, and there are tasty treats & the lure of conserving water when we hop into the shower together.

I can only imagine the awesome state of your bathroom. ;) Along with how any complaining would be dropped like a rock!

My mum is an accidental convert. She like the smell of my Lush things, but griped bitterly about the price, especially compared to her cheap Suave shampoo. For Christmas this year, I bought her a chunk of The Blonde and a couple bath ballistics.

Well. She loved it. Our stylist couldn't get over how much better her hair looked. Now she's filching chunks of Jungle from me when she's over and eying the rest of my products! She's asked several times about parties, as well.

[casanovas]

Have you been able to get her to a store yet? That'd probably be the hugest turning point, even though it worked the opposite way for my dad. I gave my mom a huge chunk of Rockstar for her birthday since she loves sweets and pink ( & well, rockstars! ) but I haven't heard how she's liked it yet; hopefully it'll get this show on the road for her too. ;)

[devilgrrl]

Ha, no, she refuses to go to the store. I just get a laundry list of things she'd like when I go. She reads the website and the Lush Times.
