Which lush product do you think deserves an entire line?

They had Ginger - which has been discontinued, is that right? And then they have Karma ...
But which scent would you like to see in more products?
I would love to see the Comforter/YSTW in more products for one. I realize it's already got two which is more than many, but ... I just love that curranty scent!
I would also love to see the scent in the Merry Christmas Massage Bar in more things, especially year round things. I already use it as a solid perfume almost, and to have it available elsewise would be heavenly.
Anyone else have any products they'd like to see this way?

Oooh, I love Comforter too - I would definitely use more products that smell like that!
My favorite Lush scent is Snowcake! So yummy! Right now, they just have the soap and Smitten hand cream, which is supposed to smell like Snowcake but I don't think it does. I wish they would make a bath bomb or bubble bar in the scent, and I wish they would bring back Snow on Snow, which was the dusting powder.
When I use Snowcake, I just want to eat it! I stocked up after Christmas, so I hope I have enough to get through the year!

Ooooh, I missed that! I'm a fairly recent Lushie - I used it a lot in 2001 when I was in London, then I haven't lived near a store for a long time, and didn't do mail order - now that I live in New York, I'm waaaaaaaay into the Lush again!

Ahh, the Snow on Snow, if I had only known during the discon round that I would like this one so much. :( I use a lot of powder in the summer months and that would have gone really well with my Smitten.

Didn't they have a bubble bar that smelled like snowcake xmas '05? Snow festival, the one that was in big cakes so you could buy whatever size chunk you wanted? At least I think it smelled like snowcake... But apparently it didn't sell well enough to be brought back for xmas '06.

Something Wicked This Way Comes! It's the sexiest jasmine I've ever had the pleasure to smell. I want a shower gel and a dusting powder and a perfume and a bath bomb!

I completely agree with you there. Something Wicked smells amazing. I like ti so much I even rub a little on me after my bath as a solid perfume.

Me, too! I love SWTWC! It really is the best scent, kind of a combo of Lush's ginger and jasmine scents. If I had a dusting powder and a bubble bar and a jelly...

OMG yes! How could I forget Blue Skies??? I can't believe I forgot Blue Skies. Cinnamon and Patchouli is one of my most recent obsessions, along with wiccy.

Okay, if I have to pick just one...
Something Wicked it is. For several reasons. There are a lot of scents I like that already have one or two products that smell the same or are similar enough to use together.
HIWTK has Honey Bee, Ma Bar and Soft Coeur even reminds me of it.
Comforter has Blackberry BB, Sweetie pie jelly, and even Sultana of Soap.
SWTWC is like two great Lush scents combined perfectly into one. I just wish the melt wasn't the only alternative. I would love a powder, gel, solid shampoo, jelly, bath bomb, bubble bar; anything in this scent I would buy!

Those I think are close enough in scent that they are complimentary and can be used together. And since they are pretty similar, I don't think Lush will make more products that smell similar. (although how many lemon soaps do we need?;) )

I'm sooooooo with you on the merry christmas massage bar! It's my single favorite lush item ever. I already use it as a bath melt, massage bar, body lotion, and perfume, but it would be lovely to have it sold in different formats, especially a bomb/bubble bar... I guess letters to santa was a pretty similar scent, and bob soap, but it's all stuff we can only get at christmas!
My other favorite is the minty scents, I love demon in the dark! And christingly and melomint, we need some bombs (bring back World Peace!!!) or bubble bars that are available all year in mint! I would do anything for a lotion scented with demon in the dark

That Pomander does look good! I want it in a bath melt! That's the thing I love about Robyn's company; she will make any product in any scent she has.

I love the scent of Champagne Snow Showers. I think that this is a very versatile scent that would be good as a soap, shampoo, conditioner, bubble bar..
I really like the scent of Butterball. I would love a Butterball lotion (I think a whole line of Butterball scented things would be a bit much though.)
I also really like the scent of Trichomania. I would buy anything with this creamy coconut scent!

hmm. I think next time I'm in the store I might have to ask for a sample of trichomania. Creamy coconut? Sounds divine. And it's supposed to be good for dry hair isn't it? I thought I read that ... but there's so many lush products the descriptions are sort of blurring for me now ...

I used to buy products from this company when they first started .. before they called themselves 'Lush' .. when they were first called "Cosmetics to Go", which was way back in the early 1970's I believe .. they did the most marvelous products .. many with short a refridgerated shelf life .. and all very obviously made and packed by hand .. the catalogue was printed out on brown wrapping paper and there were only a handful of products available at any one time (more available to personal shoppers who could get to Poole, Dorset .. and I have to say they were very, VERY good ...
Then they started to get popular .. and I am afraid that's when and why I had to stop buying them .. gone were the lovely rich creamy products that nourished and enriched my skin .. and in place I found the products made my skin very dry and rough .. sadly in their clamour to get fame and become a big company they seemed to have left behind all the founders 'honest' and worthy claims for 'original products that are good for your skin' ..
.. and sadly, like all small companies who have gone before them the products that once started out as superbly wonderful and very, very good, .. have been reduced to cheap and nasty imitations .. that simply do not have any of the original charm and luscious passion they once had ..
I was given one of the soaps a few months ago .. YUK! It had a nasty plasticky feel and needed gallons of hand cream putting on afterwards to cover the dryness it left ... yet I well remember those hand made soaps being just like using a really good moisturiser every time you washed you hands .. not half flaking your skin off ..

I'm sorry to hear that!
I never had the pleasure of trying Cosmetics to Go, but I have heard great things about the products they used to have.
I do have very very dry skin myself, and there are a number of products I do not use because of it, that's true. However, I have found some of their products better on my skin than many commercial products, so even if they are not up to the quality they used to be ... in some cases, they're at least better than the alternative.
Although I've been finding quality items from etailers as well - which are the type of thing Cosmetics to Go was at the time I suppose - very small, independent companies with carefully handmade products - and you do sometimes find amazing quality there in comparison.

Deserves... ahh that's such a loaded word, lol.
I really like the karma scent, I rather wish we had a shower gel like the one site... japan?
Otherwise, I'm fond of Olive Branch, as I think a lot of people are. I also really, really enjoy Jungle jelly and would love to see a line of that stuff. Jungle ballistic... yum.
Honeywood is absolutely amazing, so I feel like if they made a line of those, I would go nuts over it. I'm about to order a bunch of HIWTK scented stuff, because I'm sure it's my new obsession.

I also love the currant scent in YSTW, Sweetie Pie and the Comforter.
I would love to see more Silky Underware scents. I know there is Alkmaar soap, but a fragrence would be nice...one that is more widely available, than just a forum special. To me that's just a tease. I didn't get any becuase I didn't want to get hooked only to never have it again :-)
I also really like Jungle, and would not mind a few other products with that scent. Massage bars are some of my favorite Lush products. I would die of happiness for an SU or Jungle massage bar!

Happy for SAD was a shower gel - an amazing, amazing shower gel. I remember it being very citrusy and uplifiting. I think it had grapefruit, and orange, and neroli...?

The fragrances that I would LOVE to have more items for:
-Sakura (at least I can still get 17 CTL from the UK!)
-Figs and Leaves (so floral and feminine, and Lush is seriously lacking in floral and feminine nowadays!)
-I Should Coco (mmm...wonderful)
-Sultana of Soap (I don't take many baths anymore, but I really need to buy a Blackberry bath bomb and try it out one of these days)
-Soft Touch (SUCH a perfect scent. I normally hate vanilla, but it's that FAKE vanilla scent I hate because I love Lush's vanilla scents!)
-Comforter (I know they made a lotion in the lotion round, but I'd love a full-time lotion in this scent!)
That's all I can think of, off the top of my head! I just love how unique Lush's scents are.

I'd have to say American Cream, Yoki Hi, and Big Blue.
American Cream scent is just so popular, I can't imagine why they don't make more scents with this.
Yoki Hi smells to me like pure luxury. Big Blue has that sort of musky, foresty smell that I just love.

Big Blue! Yes! That's one of those that's just so distinctly BATH BOMB that I always forget about it when thinking about other scents.
Oh, and SDM. I just remembered that now, I love that one, I would love it as a bath bomb.

I keep meaning to try big blue. That description makes me want to try it even more!
As for American Cream ... I adore it as well. It's got almost a line already though, doesn't it? However, if they made a perfume, I would be in heaven. (well, other than the forum perfumes, which always hit at a time I can't afford)

They have an AC line? whoops! I guess I am just out of it! I'll be heading to a Lush store this weekend (a VERY rare treat as it's 500 miles away!) so I'll check it out.

I don't know that I would want a line, like other places have, but I would like more layering options. I would like to have more lotion choices in different scents so I could layer those with different scents. I like AC, but I think if I had a lotion, a soap, a shower gel, a bubble bath, a bath bomb, etc., in that scent, I would get a little burned out.
I really don't like HIWTK that much, so I would like some other line besides that one.
