Haul: Even More Lush Samples!

By icyabstract · March 23, 2010 · 16 Comments ·

I seem to have a 'level' of lush sample title going on. The first one was just plain and simple 'Lush Sample', the second was 'Lush Samples Again' and this one is 'Even More Lush Samples'. I wonder what the next one would be....

I made this haul from the same seller as the 'Lush Samples again' blog entry (link above). She has a nice variation of Lush stuff available and is super friendly. I do like just browsing her webpage (you know, like window shopping? haha) and am probably going to pick out more stuff in future, but as of now I think I should lay off Lush for awhile.

Here is the link to the Lush sample seller --> CLICK ME!

And I am featuring the sale thread voluntarily, the seller did not ask for a mention etc. I just figured since a lot of people have asked me regarding where to get Lush in Singapore and all that this would be a good and reliable site to promote.

This time around I bought way more then I did before. It might be due to stress and the fact that I need to relief that somewhere or it might be due to late night surfing impulses, I would never know... I will not be describing all the scents in this entry as I'll be leaving that to the video I aim to film and put up sometime down the road.

Starting off, here are some freebie samples that she had included.


Sniffles of Magic Mushroom Bubble Bar (left) and Marshmellow Moment Bath melt (right).
So cute how she calls scent samples sniffles!

Now on to the sample products I chose before progressing to the random sampler pack.

From the last haul I had gotten the Christmas Eve Bubble Bar and I loved the scent so much that I just had to pick it up again.


Christmas Eve Bubble Bar
Lush really needs to make a soap with this scent, or is there an existing one already? Last I checked... I don't think there was.


Candy Cane Bubble Bar
This smells extremely similar to Rockstar soap! Except maybe a tad sweeter and doesn't have that musk factor that Rockstar has.


Comforter Bubble Bar


Cinders Bath Ballistic
Now I am actually super excited for this one, and how generous, you get half the ballistic! I have been wanting this not because it contains pop rocks that makes fizzing noizes in the bath, but because it smells of cinnamon and I absolutely love the scent of cinnamon.

Last item I picked out was *surprise surprise* a bar of soap!


Porridge Soap
I picked this out because with my UK Lush haul, many people have suggested that I check out Porridge soap too. I have heard mixed reviews regarding this so I figured why not grab a sample and decide if I want a full size at a later date.

 

Along with my order I decided to be ambitious and go for the 10 piece random sampler pack instead. The 10 piece one costs 12SGD and the 5 piece one costs 7SGD. The first time around I was humble and stuck with 5, but I wanted more lush in my life, so here's what I randomly got:


Honey Hugs Shower Gel
This is like a liquid shower gel form of Honey I Washed the Kids soap! Smells just like it, except a little sweeter (stronger toffee scent)


Dream Cream (body lotion)


Fairy Tale Sugar Scrub
I never thought this day would come but I really really do not like the scent of this. Everyone else in my family thinks it's fine except for me. It doesn't smell rancid but the scent really just puts me off.


American Cream Conditioner


Big Shampoo
Upon first sniff, I thought this smelt a bit weird and very raw-vegetable-ish. I think it might be because of the citrus mix it has, but it slowly grows on you and it becomes a nice pick-me-up fresh and crisp scent.


Want to Believe Bath Melt
A fairly masculine scent I think. It has fennel in it, which I think makes most products lean towards the slightly masculine side. It almost makes the product smell like it has a minty edge when there is absolutely no mint at all, just that fresh perk.


Red Ruby Slippers Bubble Bar


Christmas Kisses Bubble Bar
I would say this seems to smell quite close to Cinders. It has cinnamon and it has that hint of citrus (orange oil). It also makes you feel very warm inside when you smell it. Definitely love it, and it's red!


Fever Message Bar


Butterball Bath Ballistic

And last but surely not least....


Christmas Party Bath Ballistic
I like how this smells though be warned, this is said to be one deadly bath ballistic. Why so? Because it contains little plastic stars that can poke the heck out of you in the bath. Why would Lush put something so dangerous in their products, I have no idea... but it does smell pretty good. A fruity, sweet and intoxicating scent.

And that sums up my Lush sample haul! It seemed like a lot of products, which is true, but they are samples. So when you look at it that way, it doesn't seem like that much already.

I have also twittered that I have found a way to sort of enjoy the bath bombs/melts/ballistics/bubble bars and that is with my kiddie tub. I do not have a bath tub but instead I have this medium sized plastic tub. Almost like the baby ones but bigger. I can't stretch out inside, but it fits most of me. Sounds quite sad, but it gets the job done so.. oh well. And smaller tub = using lesser product! (:

p.s. no I didn't run out to buy a tub just for this. Lol. It was always there, I just never thought to use it.

Keep a look out for the lush sample video if you want to know the scent descriptions for everything listed here (and from the previous sample haul).

Thanks for reading!

i bought thrice from this seller after i found out about her from your entry hehe.
and i went even more mad for my last purchase - i got all bath items when i don't even have a bath tub ...guess i am saving it for holiday trip haha.

i have got the Marshmellow Moment Bath melt ...and i tot is smells like rockstar...but the smell isn't that strong as the rock star (which i dislike) and i just used it today ..to soak my foot hahaha.

crystalkiss: We seem to get crazier with each purchase. haha. Omgosh samee! Something about buying them in sample sizes makes it okay to buy bath stuff that we don't normally use. I didn't think of Rockstar outright but it does sweet and very typical to a lot of lush sweet scents, not as strong as Rockstar, that is right. I should use the sniffles to soak my feet too since they are just the right amount for that!

cocomotion: You should totally get it if you like sweet smelling things because it's sweeter then HIWTK (which I didn't think was possible, haha) Though I don't see Honey Hugs in their permanent line, maybe it was LE, but I'm not sure.

Ooh. Glad to see that you're enjoying your LUSH products !
The sample pack that i bought from icesng actually put me off LUSH for a while. The scents of the soaps included were either too strong [to the point where my nose tickles], smells really odd [the uluru shower gel smelt seriously odd] or is too drying to be used on my skin [the porridge soap. I just felt really itchy all over and my skin started flaking off slightly after a few days of use...and i reverted back to Body Shop XD].....I'm really reluctant to buy any product from LUSH now, and i still have this stack of soaps at home that i don't want..........But i'm still interested in the solid perfumes and lip scrubs ! XD

LOL at ur tub situation!
i have the full sized dream cream, it's nice and smooth to slap on ur legs and arms...
and i have been wanting to try the big shampoo since lollipop26 raved about it?

Iliaric: Ooh I see. Yeah I agree there are hits and misses and that's what happens when we get lesser known products. They are probably not hyped up for a reason! Though there were some gems I managed to find within this haul. The pink sugar scrub though is a sure no-no. I can't stand to smell it. My mom likes it so she can have it. haha.

retail_therapy: I'd like to think that soon I'll be able to go to a place with a tub (close friend's house or on a vacation it really doesn't matter. haha!).
Oh yes! Dream cream feels very moisturizing, though a bit thick and because of that it feels like you need to use a bit more product to 'spread' it out well. As for Big Shampoo it smells a bit stripping, you know those shampoos that just leave your hair feeling straw-ish untill you condition it. But I'll probably give it a shot soon. I think the sample is enough for 1 use with my hair length.
