World Piece Bath Bomb

$5.95 at Lush

Made with Russian pine oil for courage and constancy and American peppermint, a symbol of friendship and love.  It has sweetie oil from an Israeli grapefruit mixed with a secret perfume from the Arabian Sahara. It should work on those of us concerned with international peace processes and those that just want to stay calm for meetings or dates with really nice people.

LUSH makes sure to use recycled materials for our packaging and shipping but we also recycle some of our oldies-but-goodies to the RETRO LUSH collection available exclusively online.  So, celebrate Earth Day with a calming bath that as good for you as it is for the world

(note:  I still don't have internet service in my home, but thanks to Jim and James from Cablevision, there's a possibility they might remedy that tomorrow.  Cross your fingers!)

Personally, I've never been one to hit the bars in celebration of St. Patrick's Day.  I prefer to stay away from the madness and celebrate in private (aka drink at home with good tv). Whether you share my same style or paint the town green, there's no reason you can't steal some luck of the Irish yourself - with Lush's Luck of the Irish bath bomb. Not only is it clover shaped, but it harnesses the powers of Avocado and Olive Oil to make your skin super soft - not to mention the fact it turns your bath water a fabulous shade of green.

This bit of green will only cost you $7.95.  Isn't a chance on luck worth it?

During Fashion Week, we managed to sneak away and pop into the Lush store near Union Square.  We'd never tried any of their products, but we'd always heard good things.  After a quick trip snack from Tasti D Lite, we managed to convince Mr. Man it would be a perfectly harmless shopping experience (which it was).

We were introduced to Coalface, a facial bar designed to extract dirt from pores, remove excess oil, and exfoliate.  Our skin is the unruliest of unruliest, producing more oil than a refinery.  This bar not only quickly removed any traces from our skin, but kept oil at bay all day long.  It may not be the prettiest product, or have the best scent, but it certainly does the job.  In fact, it's new nickname is Oil Tamer.  It will always have a special place in our soap dish.

While we haven't tried it, our next coal product purchase will be Origins Clear Improvement ($20), a mask which uses Active Charcoal to cleanse pores and revive skin.
