I really enjoyed visiting Lush.

I’ve tried a few of their products before, way back when there weren’t any Lush Stores in the US I actually ordered some things from Lush Australia.

Even though I did order, I was always nervous about ordering too much without being able to smell everything, since I’m pretty picky when it comes to scents.

I did like the Demon in the Dark soap that I ordered way back when, but I wasn’t too impressed with a few of the other shower gels I ordered.

So when I found out there was a Lush in Minneapolis I knew I had to go!

I was fully prepared to go into the store alone - I figured my husband wouldn’t be able to handle all of the smells, but we were pleasantly surprised.

The Lush is actually in Macy’s in the Mall of America, which I wasn’t expecting, and it really didn’t have an overly perfumed smell.

Even after sniffing half of the products in the store, my husband, who refuses to let me go in Bath and Body Works because he got so sick the last time I tried on some lotion there, didn’t have any problems with his allergies at all.

My husband was the only man in the boutique, and he got lots of attention! He kept pulling me over any time they were going to do a demonstration so I could watch it too.

He was pretty impressed with the bath bombs, and the shower jellies, although I don’t think he’ll be trying a shower jelly anytime soon.

After sniffing everything within sight, I ended up getting a Honey Bee Bath Bomb, a Marathon Bubble Bar, and an Aromarant Deoderant.

We also got a Pop in the Bath bubble bar for my sister in law.

In addition to that, we also got samples of Dream Cream Lotion, Love Lettuce, which doesn’t seem to be on the Lush US site, Honey I Washed the Kids, and Sea Vegetable Body Soap.

So far I’ve only tried the Dream Cream Lotion, which is a nice lotion, with a light scent, but really doesn’t do any more for me than my regular Lubriderm lotion does, the Aromarant Deoderant, and the Love Lettuce facial mask.

The Aromarant seemed to work well for the three days I used it, although it wasn’t slippery enough when I applied it, so it seemed to drag across my skin.

I didn’t have any trouble with sweat or odor, but when I woke up this morning I noticed that one of my armpits is redder than normal, so I’ll be taking a break from this for a while, to try to determine whether the Aromarant is the problem, or whether its something else.

The Love Lettuce is only sold in the stores in the US, and when I got the sample I was told that it needed to be kept cool.

The sample had an expiration date of 11/14 on it, and I got it on 11/10.

Since I was visiting family on 11/10-11/11 I didn’t use the Love Lettuce then - in fact, I’ve only used it once.

The mask was nice, but it’s cold here, and I just couldn’t bear the thought of pulling something out of the fridge and putting in on my face last night.

I did use it Monday morning, and I liked it. The mask was a nice green, and there were pieces of seaweed sticking out of it, so I looked pretty funny when I was using it.

The mask came of easily in the shower, and if it wasn’t so cold when I put it on I’d probably be a lot more willing to use it.
