There is a retro massage bar that works pretty much like wiccy and doesn't smell so strong, sore labours. And if you like massage bars, you should really try Mange Too. Multi purpose, honey, and smells great.

Oh, Mange Too sounds amazing! (scent wise at least)

Do you think it would work on sore muscles? Sore Labours seems so expensive for such a tiny bar.

I took sore labours with me on travel, and it definitely helped. Mange Too doesn't help ingredient wise, but it's really smooth and honeyish, so your muscles may get happier just because it's so fun to rub them with this. The thing works as a lipbalm, body lotion, hand cream and hair wax too, incidentally ;)

For solid shampoos, I love Trichomania! It's a nice creamy coconut scent, it lathers great, and it's really moisturizing.
I have flat, straight hair that gets v. oily if I don't wash it every day, and Trichomania cleans it without drying it out and moisturizes it without making it feel greasy :) Plus, I hear tell it's made special for folk with curly and thick hair (along the lines of Curly Wurly, which I also adore), so it might be nice for you!

Re: massage bars, my boyfriend and I are big fans of Therapy (because I love lavender) and Nutts (yummy earthy cocoa butter smell), but, of course, your mileage may vary :)

I love the smell of coconut. I read the reviews and they seem so mixed though, I hope it wouldn't dry out my hair!

To my nose Gavarnie does indeed smell like Jungle. You could get some plain Witch Hazel or Rose Water to use as a toner.

I was starting to wonder about Godiva. I dyed my hair red a few weeks ago and the color is fading faster than I expected. Usually I use Gentle Lentil, but my ends needed the extra moisture. Hmm. Will have to switch back to GL with Coolaulin as a leave-in on my ends and see if that helps at all.

Oh yeah! Godiva and most lush bars from what I've heard just strip the colour out. Hehe.

I knew about Seanik and Big because of the salt, but man. Godiva? Bummer. Or maybe that just means it's time to place an order online and make sure to pick up a hunk of Reincarnate. ;)

3. I ordered for the first time from Lush in early Dec (not knowing there would be sales after the holidays being a lush newb) and had an awful time waiting for shipping from the UK as all the sales started to flourish. Anyway, I'm looking to soon place a new order with them but I want to hold out in case their are any more deals or sales or promotions coming up. Does anyone know of any?

Someone scanned in the pages of the new UK Lush Times (I think it was posted this past week) showing the Valentine's Day items and the new huge ballistics and Vanilla range.

No promos-that is what's currently happening in the UK shops (the grab bag promo) but not online.
