hive mind: Lush?

[anotheranon]

Over the years I've heard a lot of good things about Lush bath/body products - as in, people positively raving about them, collecting them, trading with friends.

And while I love good bath products and am charmed by their witty product names (Buffy the Backside Slayer), my only experience with Lush has been negative - I got some bath gel that smelled divine but that made me itch. For all I know the bath bombs that came with it are still lurking somewhere in my linen closet, but I'm reluctant to bother looking for them.

However, I'm not in love with my shampoo or conditioner and am looking for other options. Any reason I might give Lush a second look, or would that just be poking the stick in my eye again?

A deeply blonde friend of mine swears by their shampoo bars. I got a couple for a birthday present and they stripped the color out of my hair awfully fast. They're awfully convenient for travel, though.

Is there a location anywhere near you? because you can bet a lot of the bars/soaps/solid things in teeny slivers to try out.

As it happens, there IS one near me, but it's in a shopping mall - I'll wait 'til the holidays are over to visit :)
