This was my first try of a solid conditioner and I am extremely pleased at how wonderfully it works on my short, slightly curly hair. It took me a few tries to figure out the best way to use it - but after I did, I was hooked on the Jungle from LUSH! I adore most Lush products as it is, and finding a conditioner that not only leaves my hair soft, shiny & silky and it smells heavenly all day long - but that's also filled with natural ingredients such as avocados and many others (the list is quite long) makes it a must have for me! It is a bit pricey, but well worth it in my opinion! I don't think Jungle works the same for everyone! Depends where you buy it - because if the slice you get is from a freshly made batch - you'll get wonderful results, but if it's been sitting on the shelf for a while, like any other product it will not work it's magic in the best possible way (so if you're purchasing it at a Lush store - look at the label, it says when the batch was made - or ask the store assistant, they always know and are very helpful! They may even cut you a piece from a freshly made batch, if they have it and you request it!). I give Jungle a straight 10 for all it's luscious goodness, for being a wonderfully eco-friendly conditioner full of fruits, for rich moisturization leaving hair soft, shiny & scented like a million bucks!

Lush has done it again! The Bath Melts are honestly the creamiest, most moisturizing & absolutely lusciously scented bath product I've ever put in my bath water! I absolutely ADORE them and they make my skin feel so full of non-greasy moisture and leave a fresh wonderfully sexy scent - they make me never wanna get out of the tub!! I adore everything LUSH but their Bath Melts are out of this world! Straight 10 in my review, and I also recommend Lush Bath Melts to everyone who likes long luxurious relaxing baths which also leave your skin gorgeously scented & moisturized beyond any lotion you can use afterwards (not necessary when you put THIS product in the bath!). One word of caution - never leave a Lush Bath Melt on the tub! You can get a Lush Tin or put the Bath Melt in a basic soap container, but just protect it immediately from being exposed to bath water splashing all over it, and even humidity each bathroom contains - keep it hidden somewhere dry and it will last you much longer. Otherwise, if exposed to humidity or left on the tub to be watered every time someone takes a shower - well, it's a BATH MELT - so it will, naturally, melt....and you'll be disappointed because this product is HEAVENLY! So keep it dry please!

For every type of hair the Sebastian Shaper Plus is a must have if you want 24 hour control - even under extreme humidity conditions, it never lets go - but the great thing is that it also never leaves any white flakes or stickiness in your hair. Just comb through & go for another style....it's that simple! I've been using this product for several years and even though the BIG bottle is quite expensive (around $22 where I live) - it's well worth it to me because you don't need to use much of it to achieve super control and it lasts you forever, so you actually save - versus buying 4-5-6 different hair spray's over the course of several months which this product can last you! I simply love it and it's a staple for me (I even carry a compact travel version of it in my purse & car, for refreshing my do whenever I feel like it, on the road or when I've forgotten to put it on before leaving the house in a hurry for an important interview). Straight 10 from me - without any hesitation! Best hairspray I've ever used....and I've tried everything on the store shelves - every major brand, as well as a great many beauty supply store hair spray's - but, for me, Sebastian Shaper Plus takes the cake! Without "caking" your hair that is - heh). If you want great control but no white flakiness or stickiness - then you should definitely try this product - you'll see what I mean when I say "it's worth the price"!!!

I absolutely adore this Aveeno face cream! I don't have wrinkles (yet) but I was trying to sort of prevent them when I decided to purchase this cream - and I was hooked immediately! It smells great, but that's not it's main benefit...it also works wonders on your skin tone and overall appearance if used regularly. I've since bought several other products from the Aveeno Positively Radiant collection and none of them have disappointed me - they're all great! Must be the natural products (oats) they use, or sheer Aveeno magic! Highly recommend the whole line to anyone conscious about taking care of their skin (face & body) in a natural and affordable way. I don't think even the designer creams could do a better job than this! Thank you Aveeno!!!

It would be fair to say that I am a complete Lush addict! If I could I'd buy & try EVERY SINGLE LUSH PRODUCT!! However, since I can't afford that - I purchase some and get samples of others whenever I can. The main thing that drew me to Lush cosmetics is that ALL products are hand-made, fresh and natural. They moisturize wonderfully and most scents are HEAVENLY! Taking a very relaxing, sensual and purely great for your skin bubble bath, using one or a mixture of several Lush Bubble Bars, Bath Bombs (Ballistics) or wonderfully moisturizing and scented Bath Melts is an experience I regret missing & not knowing about since Lush opened - all those wasted years are killing me!! As you can see - I truly LOVE Lush!!! I'd work for their products! Lush Bubble Bars are simply WONDERFUL!!! They are not cheap, ranging on average around $7.00 per Bar, but when you think of all the work, all the natural ingredients and essential oils, and a bathtub filled with all those gorgeous bubbles - relaxing you immediately & transporting you to another universe just by crumbling VERY LITTLE - often less than one quarter of the bar, that's all it takes - I think the price is WELL worth it. It's one experience for which both your body & soul will thank you! My favorite Lush Bubble Bars (even though I love them all) are THE COMFORTER, closely followed by KARMA (oh that fragrance!! Even my husband loves it!), MA BAR, HOT MILK, CREAMY CANDY, BATHOS, FRENCH KISS, AMANDOPONDO, etc. There were more which I can't recall the names of at the moment - but sadly they were discontinued. I remember one which had rose petals inside of it and its scent was heavenly - not overwhelming, just RIGHT! I could go on and on about Lush Bubble Bars, and still couldn't praise them enough (such is the case of many Lush products!) - but until you try one for yourself (for the first-timer I highly recommend THE COMFORTER, which you can find here: http://usa.lush.com/cgi-bin/lushdb/2468) - you'll never know what you're missing and I assure you - if you try it you won't regret it, you'll be very pleased and possibly hooked on for life just like me! I'll end the review of the Lush Bubble Bars with a quote about what exactly they are - just in case someone who's reading this doesn't know about them, but would like to try THE MOST AWESOME BATH OF THEIR LIFE: "Bubble bars are the first-ever solid bath foam, and a LUSH original invention. Unlike liquid bubble bath, our bubble bars contain no preservatives to damage the environment, or harsh surfactants to irritate the skin. Crumble one under running bath water for a tub full of luxuriously soft, scented bubbles." Try them - you won't regret it! While you're at it - try a Lush Bath Bomb (also known as Bath Ballistic) - and you'll be hooked on Lush products - and pleasantly surprised, elated every time you take a shower! Lush has THE BEST soaps I have ever tried in my life!!! Any soap you'd like to try out - just ask the customer service person in the store to give you a sample - and they will cut you a generous portion of the chosen soap! That's truly great customer service, no wonder they have me hooked - everything about Lush is wonderful!!!! Also, Lush Massage Bars are to die for!! Not oily but very smooth, sensual & relaxing, and they have a range for whatever your need is - whether you want some romance or you'd like to loosen those sore muscles from a day of hard work - one of great scented Lush Massage Bars will work for you! And you'll be coming back for more! Some smell like candy, and the others like citrus...so it caters to every taste! All their products are like that, so everyone can find something to suit them (and often several things, sometimes more than they came to the store for hehee....) For me - and many other LUSH lovers - there is no better experience in shopping than visiting a LUSH Store and exploring all the wonders of it! Please do that at your earliest opportunity - I promise you'll come back hooked and you'll have the most wonderful bath, shower & massage experience of your life!!!! I am not exaggerating, it's really a great place with great nature-friendly products! GO LUSH!!! Straight 10 on this review & I'm hoping more Lushies will respond!!!

I use Lemony Flutter as a cuticle cream and my hands smell wonderful all day long - even after multiple washing...the lovely mildly citrusy scent lingers on. My cuticles have improved beyond recognition since I started using Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter....I can't praise this product enough, it's simply great....the only drawback to it I can see is the price. Otherwise - lovely cream for any dry skin spots on your whole body - use it on your hands as a cuticle cream, or rub it into your elbows and you'll notice the difference in just a couple of uses! Another great product from LUSH - the makers of most natural, eco-friendly, absolutely divinely scented and good for you products!!!

I absolutely adore all Lush soaps! I have tried great many of them, but sadly my all time favorite soap - the Avowash - recently got discontinued. It was the best soap I had ever used in my life, and my husband agreed it was the same for him as well! We purchased a big block of it while they still had it in stores and I am happily saving every bit of it - using it sparingly - while at every shower I now regularly use a different Lush soap - no other soap will ever do after you try one of Lush soaps!!! My other favorite soap is Karma. Its fragrance works for both men & women (unisex) and it is absolutely heavenly! Other favorites include SULTANA OF SOAP (Oh I could shower all day long with Sultana - that's how wonderful it is!!!), ROCK STAR (great one!), Oh-La-La, Honey I Washed The Kids (made with honey!!), Alkmaar, Figs and Leaves, Mud Flats, I Should Coco, Gratuitous Violets, Sandstone & Sexy Peel. Believe it or not - I have each of these soaps in my collection (some I've purchased as a block, and others I was given as samples when I visit the store - LUSH is VERY GENEROUS that way - they want you to try any soap of the block you wish!!! Their customer service is OUTSTANDING!!!). I'll NEVER use another soap except Lush varieties!!!

Lush Buttercreams are THE BEST of THE BEST products ever invented to moisturize your skin in the bath, while at the same time all of them smell wonderful and are gorgeously creamy, not oily as you'd think from the word "BUTTERcream". My personal favorite is Emperor of Ice Cream - it smells like chocolate sundae and it moisturizes so perfectly! Try one (or more) of Lush Buttercreams and your skin will thank you!!! The soul will thank you also for the extraordinary scent experience, often filling the whole place with the gorgeous scents of Lush products - whether you just used Lush Bath Bomb, or Buttercream, or Bubble Bar - it's a DREAMY experience!!!

All LUSH products are simply WONDERFUL, I can't give them enough praise - but Bath Bombs (or Ballistics, as they're are also known) are the creme-de-la-creme of bath experience! My favorite Lush Bath Bombs are the Butterball, very gentle & soothing, the Sex Bomb, pink sexy one with a rose on top which turns your bath water lovely pink color & the scent of it lingers long after your bath - both on your skin and it also fills the whole house! I also highly recommend my other favorite Bath Bombs: Golden Slumbers - for relaxation before bed, happy dreams guaranteed; Champagne Supernova - wonderful scent & filled with confetting, for when you're feeling in the mood for some celebration (could be with a partner too heh); Think Pink, The Happy Pill - this one is simply GREAT....actually I can't say enough good about Lush Bath Bombs so I'll just recommend it to ANYONE WHO LIKES A WONDERFUL BATH EXPERIENCE! Using them is very simple - just pop one (or half of one, or mix with other Lush products such as Bubble Bars for personalized scent and experience) - and watch it fizz right before your eyes, transforming your ordinary bath water into a work of art! Lush Rocks!!!

I use this product almost every day & can't get enough of it! It leaves my hair smooth, silky, and the added bonus (a huge bonus) is that it improves the condition of my hair! No rinsing is my favorite part of therapy conditioners....waiting for 3-5 minutes in the shower for another type of conditioning treatment to work is just a bit much for me in this busy life. Biolage Daily Leave-in Tonic works great!
