Thank you! :) I may have to take over another drawer soon, or move to a bigger one as my Lush stash continues to grow, and grow, and grow...... eek!
As for the ocean salt, I've noticed that! I've seen other people's pictures of it, and mine does look a little different. It also looks totally different on the Lush website... Theirs looks much more granule-y and coarse looking. My friend gave me this sample, straight out of her full-sized pot of it that she had bought the day before... I had no idea it had that creamy-ish texture! What does yours look like?
Mine's mostly white with a hint of blue and the salt is bigger. Yours is so small and uniformly sized compared to mine. Mine has the salt a bit bigger with some even bigger bits in it. Maybe its because I'm from the UK though? I cannot get enough of the stuff.
since you've ordered from the UK/are comfortable with ordering again - ocean salt is like half the price in UK compared to US! so just consider that when reordering :)
also what are those cute containers on the bottom left? i love them! are they only big enough to hold soap?
Thank you for that tip! I know ordering from the UK site can save quite a bit of money, but I don't do it very often...It took 2 weeks for me to get my Colour Supplement and my Lip Scrub :( BUT, I plan on making a Retro order in the near future, so maybe I'll order Ocean Salt then, rather than buy it in my local store and pay so much more for it!
Those little containers are actually just from a dollar store! You can see in the photos of my HIWTK soap, Karma soap, and Godmother soap, that I use them to hold one little piece of soap that I've cut off to use at a time. It makes it so much easier to take to and from the shower with me, and also to travel with it! I go back and forth pretty frequently from my parent's house to my apartment at school, so I just toss one in my bag whenever I'm going back and forth!
They're really interesting... You can use them mixed with a moisturizer OR use them alone, but either way they're pretty sheer.
I bought Celestial moisturizer PURELY because I had just ordered the colour supplement and I wanted to mix the two to make it last longer. I may stop mixing them though, and use them individually for their respective purposes. Reason being that I have really bad skin about 90% of the time, and even if my face is totally clear, I still have a lot of acne scarring that this doesn't cover up... I do find that it is a great base for my regular high-coverage foundation, though. And it's a good way to mix in some moisture if you do add a mositurizer to it, especially to avoid cake-y looking foundation! Give it a try, I couldn't wait to! :)
I use AOBS by breaking off a small bit of it, maybe a littttle bit bigger than the size of a pea (which is ALL you need for one wash), putting it in the palm of my hand, and then trickling a little bit of warm water over it. Then I use my other hand, with usually just my thumb, and mash it up into a gritty paste-like texture. I rub it all over my face, scrub it in (it's pretty exfoliating), and then wash it off! It leaves your skin so moist and soft :) I love it!!

I'm intrigued by your ocean salt though. Mine looks totally different.
