I had my doubts about this product before I tried it -- I waqs especially worried that the scent (described frequently as a strawberry milkshake) would be too sweet and fruity, and that it wouldn't be conditioning enough for my coarse, heat-tortured hair. But I'm glad I tried it. First, the fragrance: I don;t get strawberry milkshake at all, rather a smooth, musky scent (probably the clary sage). Second, I LOVE what this does for my hair. It leaves it silky and perfectly conditioned, like no other conditioner I've tried.

LUSH's King of the Mods is a great styling product for anyone looking for a silicone-free product with light hold. Unlike many styling products, King of the Mods doesn't dry your hair out, which makes it a great choice for those who use straightening irons. My main complaint is that this product has a strong (and pleasant) citrusy fragrance, which is nice, but which tends to mask the even nicer fragrance of my LUSH conditioner. I'd also note that this should be used sparingly -- a little goes a long way and too much product can lead to oily-looking hair.

Work Angel's on Bare Skin into a paste in your palm and apply to your face for gentle exfoliation. While I love the creamy almond scent of this product and the extremely soft skin it leaves behind, it's a bit too oily for my acne-prone skin. This product would be perfect for anyone with dry, sensitive skin, but for those with oily skin, I'd recommend LUSH's Herbalism, a similar cleanser with a clay base.

I am a bath junkie. If I could live in my bathtub, I totally would. And LUSH is my enabler. Their bath bombs are super fragrant, skin softening, and come in so many varieties, it's impossible not to find a few to fall in love with. My absolute favorite is sex bomb -- a super sexy floral that will leave your bathroom smelling amazing for days. Also highly recommended: Butterball, which contains chunks of cocoa butter and will leave your skin super soft. A word of warning: LUSH bath products may leave your bathtub slippery, so use caution the next time you step in the shower. Also, if you can't justify spending $5 on a product for a single bath, place a screwdriver at the seam of your bomb and whack with a hammer to split it in half.

Herbalism is a great cleanser or cleansing supplement for those who want gentle exfoliation. It has scrubby bits that aren't too abrasive, and it leaves skin soft, not overly-dried. I have oily skin, so I don't use this alone, but I love it for days when I have a little dry patch here or there. It also makes a nice, oil-absorbing mask, which will leave irritated skin calm at the end of a long day.

Seanik is my favorite shampoo bar for days when I want my hair to feel squeaky clean. With just a few swipes, you'll get a thick lather that will remove any traces of oil or styling products from your hair. This one also has a very subtle, non-lingering fragrance, which makes it perfect for those who are sensitive to fragrance.

I've tries 3 of LUSH's buttercreams, and I've found them all to be excellent, non-drying alternatives to regular soap. Heavenly Bodies is a rich chocolate orange fragrance; Skinny Dip is a bright, energizing lemon; and Ring of Roses is a citrusy rose fragrance. The buttercreams may take a little getting used to, as they don't lather as well as regular soap, but they'll leave your skin feeling soft and clean, not tight. They're also amazing for a super close shave!

My favorite of LUSH's bubble bars is Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds (pictured). One bar will give you at least 4 bubble-filled baths, light blue water, and the most divine incense smell. This is definitely my favorite relaxation bath, and the fragrance will linger on your skin all day. This one also leaves your skin soft and smooth without making you greasy. I recommend placing your bubble bar chunk in an organza bag or the foot of an old pantyhose and hanging it off your faucet for lots of bubbles; I've also read that grating the bubble bars will yield lots of lovely bubbles.

The first time I used this shampoo, I spent the rest of the day insisting that people smell my hair. The jasmine scent is amazing and long-lasting, and the shampoo bar contains moisturizing chunks of cocoa butter to leave your hair silky soft. The downsides: the cocoa butter make make your bar begin to crumble in time, although I've heard that keeping it in the freezer may prevent this. This shampoo bar is also sooo moisturizing that it may not be appropriate for everyday use for someone with oily hair, but it's definitely great for days when you want extra moisture and a yummy smell.
