Best products from r/LushCosmetics

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen someone pass off the shower gels as hand soaps. You could probably put some in something like this:


16-Ounce Clear Glass Boston Round Bottles w/Stainless Steel Pumps (2 Pack), Great for Essential Oils, Lotions, Liquid Soaps https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B6Q34LS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NNlZDbCNQT6ZC

Helping hands hand cream would be a nice addition too:)

-I Work a second job and allow that money to go towards Lush once in awhile. So designating extra money can help.

-Ordering from Lush uk helps if you have any staple products.

-Don’t feel like because of others that you have to collect or stock up on items. I used to do that and you end up feeling like you have to use up products instead of what you want to use.

-Buy products that you can get more out of:

Fun - great for shaving, Can be used instead of a bubble bar if you have a wire strainer , you can also try to make Shower gel out of it but I have never attempted that.

Bubble Bars- if you use a strainer you can use less product for the same amount of bubbles. I like cutting mine into fine pieces so I can control how much I use. I put them in mason jars so they last longer which are pretty cheap at Walmart!

*Shampoo Bars- they take some getting used to but they last forever! Ive easily gone 6 months without having to buy another.

Overall you can do Lush on a budget, I promise!

Here you go! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QNRY1P4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_DBQHzb80B5J02

I can't remember if they were always listed as an add-on item but at least this can be a good start! They've worked out well for me and I haven't noticed any scent merging as I store everything together (bath bombs in one jar, bubble bars in another, soaps in another). 😊

There are probably a lot more cyclists than you think. Especially in major cities like NYC where lush is huge.

I use this product and it's almost $20 a tube. Well worth it for it's purpose though. I've also been known to use it when I wear a skirt or a dress too. Honestly the cycling shop is sold out of it sometimes. It's pretty much an industry standard.

I'd gladly buy a lush version!

You can begin by looking for classes for naturalists! Contemporary botany is actually mostly genome and molecular genetics and way out of my league and interest. Classical botany is more on morphological (physically observable) features like fruit, reproductive parts, stems, leaves, branching patterns, etc.

This is the book they had us get in our first year of school, great easy intro to it without blowing your mind too much. It's focused around NA, so the species might not seem as familiar

I use the wide mouth pint ones that have a picture of asparagus on them and it's a perfect fit for probably 95% of bath bombs. These are pretty smooth all the way down so you don't have to worry about getting it over bumps and it pops back it perfectly. The only ones I've had issues with have been Golden Wonder and occasionally Big Blue if the center piece hasn't been smoothed over.

So, let me preface this by saying I haven’t used the vanishing cream. However, I have super oily skin that’s prone to break outs. I use this stuff I got off amazon, and I love it. We are a single income military family, so budgeting I completely understand! I get most of my essentials from Lush because they tend to last longer, and I feel better about the environmental impact.

This 2 oz container has lasted me almost a year. A little bit goes a long way.

Ill add pictures to help! If you use a razor like https://www.amazon.com/Weishi-Nostalgic-Handle-Butterfly-Double/dp/B00PKHIDRA/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=safety+razor&qid=1573596649&sr=8-3 or https://www.amazon.com/BEST-Straight-Razor-Japanese-Biblical/dp/B06XY2GY7G
Prince and Dirty are best. They are like shaving lotion, with no soap.

If you use a disposable razor like this https://www.amazon.com/Gillette-Venus-Extra-Smooth-Womens/dp/B000XVSNTQ/ref=sxin_3_af-pna-1_d2c6f193495c58c44229e8cac05cdd79a83edf59?keywords=razor&pd_rd_i=B000XVSNTQ&pd_rd_r=dd2f723a-d83e-473d-b1c2-0cdc4ad898cf&pd_rd_w=H4TlQ&pd_rd_wg=y3B2j&pf_rd_p=5e567722-c416-4b51-89d9-de8c438fe11e&pf_rd_r=S16SE5TB2MJVTASKGMDD&qid=1573596704, FUN moldable soap and D'Fluff whipped shaving soap are great!

Amazon! It's great, has a nice wide with and feels pretty sturdy.

These are what I use and I’m super happy with them! They’re pretty cheap and keep things air tight without sitting in water.

I use these on my face (gently) and body. They have done wonders for me!!! I shave my face too. And these are just great for body exfoliation. in the reviews there are some good tips to follow if you get them.

Plus, they work wonders on getting tough stains off bathtub and sink. ;)

Sorry, I have to put in my two cents. OP, I would only use the tin for the purpose of carrying the bar back and forth from your room. If you put it in the tin after you shower, it will start to get melty and goopy and really hard to use. It needs to dry out! You could prop it on its side in the tin, which would help to dry it out, or use a special soap dish like this soap saver which will allow it to dry completely every day! (Btw that Amazon price is absurd. You can find them for a buck at the drug/cosmetics store.)

You should get a tin! But I wouldn't keep it in there all the time.

Fill it up! 😂😂😂 it’s your one chance!! Haha.

OXO Tot Silicone Tub Drain Stopper- Aqua https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0038JE650/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ZrFXBbH7NEH4G

Not sure if you can find something like this over there, but if you can it looks universal AF.

I keep my Movis on one of these "soap saver" dishes but anything similar that allows water to drain away would work (they're fantastic for shampoo bars too!). I took a chunk when I was traveling once and kept it in an enclosed soap holder; it got mushy and fell apart within a week. As long as it's able to dry out I haven't had any issues.

I use this soap saver in my shower and it has made my shampoo bar last much longer than when I didn't have it! It dries fully and is ready for the next wash without leaving little to any of the product on the soap saver :)

Cellophane bags can help! Cellophane is made from cellulose (plants) and is what you will find used at bakeries or food facilities to package cookies and such. It has low permeability to air, oils, greases, bacteria, and water, which means it should help with your humidity issue. Tupperwear and Ziploc bags are made of different plastics that can suck the scents from products.

I use these for bombs/bigger bar soaps: 6x9 Clear Resealable Cellophane Bags

and these for smaller bubble bars, soaps, etc: 4x6 Clear Resealable Cellophane Bags

Here is the link to the bottles. Not cheap, but they look good and work. Also reusable.

Not OP but it sure looks close to this! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EPXKKE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Those tins are only useful for traveling and I always cut down my bars for those occasions. For daily use I have this Aira Soap Saver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J6PEO2Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_P1aenIrUlrUiB on the counter right outside my shower. This soap dish https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A61Z20K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_743mDbP6KT7VJ is handy if you don’t have easily accessible counter space.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nicola-Spring-Design-Storage-Preserve/dp/B01N6772X8/ref=sr_1_11?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1541696749&sr=1-11&keywords=glass+jars I think I'm going to try these ones, thank you though!

If you want to revoke club membership you should look into something like this!

whatever you put it on, try putting it its side so only a small bit of it is touching anything else.

otherwise, I use soapsavers for my soap! I use ones like this where only the small nubs are touching the soap

I got a pack from Amazon - I use them for lots of Lush products to let them dry out!

For the drain, this is a flat-type grate then? Those are typical where I live (San Francisco). We use silicon drain stoppers for those.

Then for the "overflow drain" that a lot of tubs have, we use deep water bath gadget (also silicone)

Total investment: about $15
