So what are your favorite lush products, the absolute must-have-at-all-times? My daily routine includes angels on bare skin, tea tree toner, and cosmetic lad, but I also couldn't bear not having my Merry xmas massage bars! It's my perfect scent, the heavenly combination of sweet orange and spicy cinnamon and black pepper :)

Things I can't live without? Do you have four hours to read this post?;)
Let's see, well, I need my Aquamarina and Ocean Salt, then my Tea Tree Water and Gorgeous moisturizer.
I love my Oxeo deoderant, the Hony Trap Lip Balm, Flying Fox Temple Balm, the Soak and Float for my hubby, Big! shampoo, Rehab shampoo, Retread Conditioner, Ceridwen's Cauldron bath melt, Dream On bath bomb, Reincarnate shampoo, The Comforter, Sunnyside and Hot Milk bubble bars. I need my powders in the summer and Dream Cream all the time!

my faveorite lush products are ones you can't get anymore - olive branch lotion and snow on snow. of course, i probably take my daily routine for granted because i can get those things any time - fresh farmacy, tea tree toner, enchanted eye cream and enzymion.

I know how that feels- most of my absolute favorite scents are either discons or christmas items. At least the ones like xmas massage, and now christingly, I know should be coming back this year.

My #1 discon I want to try is World Peace... if they brought back that beautiful, minty bomb... well, I might just have to get a second job!

My must haves are You Snap The Whip Body Bar, Sea Vegetable soap and Big Blue bath ballistic. I love You Snap The Whip, it exfoliates my skin and leaves it softer and smoother than any other product I've ever tried. The same with Sea Vegetable and Big Blue. I couldn't live without them. I also love New Hair hard shampoo - it controls my stress related hair loss - and Soak and Float hard shampoo - controls my dandruff. I don't know what I'd do without Lush products.

I've never tried YSTW or Sea Veg. What does YSTW smell like? I'm afraid of black currant.

Is it at all like blackberry? I don't know why I have such a thing against it, I've never smelled it! Maybe that's ok, as I've always automatically outruled the blackberry or black currant products. If I fall in love with them, I'm in trouble!

Is it just me or does Sea Veg smell lemony?

My must-have-at-all-times products are Aquamarina (this stuff has done wonders for my complexion!), Ne Worry Pas, Honey Bee, and Veganese. I suppose I could be tempted away from my Veganese given the price raises, though.
I also love Gratuitous Violets, Bathos, and Sexy Peel.

I think I just saw a promo for a free Ne Worry Pas if you buy 2 items.

I just used my Blackberry bomb. I wasn't in love with the scent but it did make the water a lovely purple color.

I cannot live without Sweet Japanese Girl, AquaMarina, Tea Tree Toner, Enzymion, and Dreamcream. I suppose I could live without Tramp shower gel, but I wouldn't be happy about it! *wink*

One of my favorite non discontinued product is Floating Island. I usually cut it in half or throw it in whole if I'm feelng decadent, but you really could get away with cutting it into fourths. Other products I love: All that Jas, Avobath and Tea and Sympathy. I don't really use the skincare and haircare items - but I did at one time and really liked Retread and Big, but I've moved on from there.

Oy. Ok here's my full routine from morning to night:
Shower: Reincarnate, Jungle, a body butter (usually buffy, lately Aqua Miriabilis), a soap/shower gel (Usually EVOO or Olive Branch), and a Buttercream (I'm going through all the samples I have right now, which is like one of each. Favorite is HB).
Getting Dressed: Clean face with Toner (Either Eau Roma or Breath of Fresh Air), Moisturize (Skins Shangri La). Deoderant (Fuwari, but will soon switch to Teo). Perfume is either V or OB (wish I had HIWTK!. Lotion if necessary, usually Wiccy.
Throughout the day: Soft Touch or Lemony Flutter for hand lotion, Lip Service for chapstick.
Night: Get make-up off with toner (see above), wash face with Coal Face, sometimes do a biofresh if I have any (Right now I have Crash Course). Lotion (Skins Shangri La). Lotion body (Wiccy, Lemony Flutter, OB or Karma).
On weekends I take baths, my favorites are Anything Karma, Honey Bee, Big Blue, Tea and Sympathy, Ol' Blue Skies, Green Day and Marathon.
Told you that was massive.

Wow! You use a lot of products every day.
I wasn't impressed with Jungle - and I gave the rest of mine away in a swap... and then my fiance was using the little peice left in the shower and now he loves it. Guess I'll have to buy more.

I'm using mush less Lush than before due to the constant discontinuation of things I love (Breeze on Sea Air, Arabian Brights). I still continue to buy Avobaths, MMMs, Ne Worry Pas, Daddyo and American Cream. I stock up on Creamy Candy Melts when I am in the US as they aren't sold in the UK anymore.

I loooooove Gorgeous. I got it during the Free For All and of course I love it. Just what I need- an $80 moisturizer! I also love anything creamy candy related. Oh, and snow fairy!!!

Hopefully you make enough extra money here to get some more Gorgeous. I haven't tried it yet. I had the option to get it at the Free For All but I didn't want to fall in love with an $80 item. I'm hoping to get some Celestial soon and see how that works.

I use Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo and American Cream conditioner all the time, as well as the Ambrosia shaving lotion; I've got very sensitive skin and it's the only thing that works. And the shampoo bars are great for travelling.

YES! I've been using CSS for, oh, about a year and my hair has never looked better! I also sometimes use AC or Coolaulin- but my need for conditioner has much diminished since using CSS.
What's your fav bar? I have a chunck of The Blonde, which I've only used a few times. Godiva seems nice and moisturizing, but it's been a long time since I bought one.

Godiva was the most moisturizing shampoo bar for me (and the lovely scent lasted all day!). It, and karma komba, seem to work the best for my long, straight, flat hair.

My favorite Lush products are King Of Skin the old crown Style, Karma soap, the discontinued Rainbow Worrier bomb, and Middle Earth turns to Rock soap. A staple has always been Angles on Bare Skin, it's a gentle scrub and really moisturizes my skin without clogging my pores. I also love the scent of American cream, just wish it was a stronger conditioner. None of the hair products work well on my hair. Another staple is dream cream. Now it's too expensive to but regularly!

I got a King of Skin as part of the Free For All. I haven't used it yet ... I need to get a body butter tin in my next order.

I'm ordering some King of Skin with my next order, I'm excited to try it.
Do you know, is it the type of thing you have to wash off, like buffy, or can you use it as a lotion like Schnuggle and Soft Touch?

I think King of Skin should be rinsed off- it's not smooth enough to use as a lotion alone. I rub it all over in the shower, quickly rinse off the bits, and get out. It leaves my legs so soft and moisturized, even after shaving!

My must-haves are SJG, Tea Tree Water, and Godiva. The combo of SJG and TTW work miracles for my combination, blackhead-plagued skin. I use godiva as both a shampoo and a body soap, it's a lot less drying compared to flying fox...and I'm in LOVE with the scent.

I loved the Godiva shampoo bar, even the scent, which is funny because I HATE flying fox. It conditioned my hair better than any of their other shampoos, so I didn't even have to use a conditioner afterwards, and it made my hair so soft, shiny, and yummy smelling! Unfortunately, I apparently left my godiva in a hostel shower in Tofino last year, and I've too many other shampoo bars to use up before I let myself buy a new one.

The one thing I won't give up...even with the recent price hike is Fresh Farmacy. It's done wonders for my acne prone skin. I still break out a bit, but less and they go away faster. It's been a lifesaver for me!

Fresh farmacy seems to be too drying for my skin, but it's still great as a spot treatment! I just dab it on spots and leave it for 10 minutes, then rinse off.

Fresh Farmancy has really helped me control my problem skin. In fact, if I could only use one LUSH product, this would be it. Also, I love the Temple of Truth bubble bar. I find the scent really relaxing.

I'd simply die without Lush skincare.
I use:
Ocean Salt & Herbalism for the scrub days
Fresh Farmacy
Eau Roma Toner
Afterlife moisturizer
I sometimes use Ultrabland for make up removal (I don't wear makeup usually) in the evening.
I also love Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo. My hair's never looked better.

If I can only pick products I must-have-at-all-times then I would pick Enzymion above everything. Other things I NEED include coalface, tea tree toner, ocean salt, snow fairy, seanik and jungle. Lush products really did change my life, so I consider most of them to be essential!

my most essential product ever is Angels on Bare Skin. this cured my acne in less than a week and left my skin really clear and soft. I rely on this to keep my skin a good advert for Lush.
Gorgeous. well what can I say, it just is. the fruits brighten the complexion, make it look radiant, and it sinks in to leave a really bright, clear, matt complexion.
Big. lovely bouncy soft shiny hair.
Veganese. a conditioner that leaves my hair soft and shiny, and not heavy.
Marilyn. leaves my very fine hair soft, shiny, and more manageable, without being limp.
