As far as traveling with some stuff, you should be fine. I flew from Baltimore to Albany, NY (which is admittedly, a rather short flight, only about an hour) with some Lush bits in mid-September and I didn't have any issues with melting or anything whatsoever. And if I remember correctly, it's generally cooler in the hold than it is in the cabin of the plane. If anything, any meltables will probably be a little on the soft side, so stick them somewhere cool so they can firm back up.
hmm, thanks for the tip. I'm only worried because japan gets pretty warm in the summer months, but yeah - I suppose if they start looking a little melty afterward, I can rush it to a fridge or something. :)
Where in Japan are you gonna be? I've been here in Yokohama for 5 1/2 years now. :D
Mitsubachi March is most definitely HIWTK. Lush Japan has most of the products that the US/ UK has, including the massage bars. Japan is hot and humid in June so really, I would advise against trying to back them, and just buy them when you get here. Stock up on everything else, though, cos it's a little more expensive here. (They don't have any deodorants here either, just as an FYI).
I'll be in Tokyo - and possibly staying a while, depending on whether or not I end up going to grad school there. :)
And yay, thank you for the info~ I think I'll just leave the massage bars I own here in Canada then, since I'll be coming back for little periods anyway. And will definitely stock up on the rest~
Just so you know,for some items the packaging in japan is smaller which is why it might look cheaper. For example the bubble bars in Japan are 80g, in the US and UK they are 100g. Also the large bubble bars like comforter are not large in Japan, they are 80g like all the other ones. For example,amandopondo is 680yen for 80g, but the US 100g size is $6.65. Which on today's exchange rate of 90y to the dollar, is about $7.50 for the japanese smaller sized one. When I first got into lush I was only using japan stores and when i glanced at the US site i though the prices were the same until I went into a lush US store and saw that alot of the stuff was larger. For HIWTH, I looked and yes it is cheaper in japan.
