Old School goodness!

I was helping a friend sort and organize her amazing stash of old school discon items tonight, and as a thank-you, she offered up some of the most amazing goodies to me

I somehow missed Twas the Night before Christmas soap, and didn't realise it was the same scent as Black Pearl! I love that scent, and I only brought myself to use the last one just before christmas :( *envy!*

Sounds like a great night :)

[mooneyblue]

Yep. I somehow missed it the first time around too, because I wasn't really into solid soaps then. With all the fun things Lush has, really my most recent discovery is solid soap? LOL

If you're talking about the person I think you're talking about, a bunch of us helped her sort her stash out a couple of years ago before a move. It was impressive!

Hey there lady C! It may very well be the same person, and yes, that stash is the holy grail of stashy goodness! Where are you these days? I haven't seen you around.

I moved to Massachusetts last fall! I've only been back to SF once since then, though I did hit the shop when I went.

Enjoy your new goodies. Party On is also great when you have a cold (not that I'm wishing one on you or anything).

I thought so. Hope you're hanging in there with all the rough east coast winter weather. I hope I get to see you on your next visit back to the bay.

I'm sorry but like the previous year, instead oif bringing out green wash for Christmas, they should have brought out twas the night. I have one small bar I am holding on to

[mooneyblue]

Seriously! Holiday time for me with Lush is much more about spice and sweet than pine-ey green scents, but there has to be someone out there that loves greenwash, right? I still have two bars of that stuff, and I have no idea what to do with them. Blech!

I'm newish to Lush, only since 2007 have I been buying, so please excuse my ignorance, but what is Honeywood?

[mooneyblue]

Honeywood was a shower gel they gave out for the store opening at Universal CityWalk in Universal City. To me, its a sweeter version of the B Never shower gel, with multiple types of honey and orange peel and bergamot.

They created it for the CityWalk store opening. However, stores that opened after that did get a few bottles for grand opening prizes. It's how I wound up getting my hands on a bottle of Honeywood. (Seattle's store opening. We were bummed that they didn't create a lovely coffee scent for our store opening.)

After hanging onto it for two years, I finally gave it to my partner (we both were going after the prizes, with the intent to split it. I never managed to decant it and now I can't use the shower gels.) She was squeeing quite a bit when she got it. :)

It's so lovely.

I wonder if we'll get something special for our Bay street store opening next month. I think the grand opening will most likely be in March, but we are getting ever closer...

Oooh Snow on Snow. I got some of that on Ebay, it was worth every penny. I use it as a "sheet duster" and then the dog rolls around in it. (He hates spray anything but LOVES Snow on Snow. I don't know what I'll do when it's all gone. Giving the container a good shake tells me I have a couple table spoons left.) (He's ok with Candy Fluff... but I like the smell of Snow on Snow better. It's more "manly" for the teeny dog.)

[mooneyblue]

Yep, I gave up on ebay. I bid and won (and paid entirely too much) for an '06 (with pics) that was swapped out for an '07. It became too much trouble, and that's the one I just threw out. It took a while, but all's well that ends well, I s'pose.
