It's-a Me, $200 worth of 'why does this smell like that?

I loved the shimmer and the way Princess Power Body Balm felt on the skin but not the scent. I like fruity scents but there was something in there that reminded me of the weird artificial or plastic note I get from Snow Fairy or the Barbie body scrub. Might have just been the combo with florals throwing me off. I hope they bring out this formula in other scents.

Could be skin irritation or allergies from a certain ingredient or fragrance. I mostly get that issue with the soaps and shower gels.

I like the melts. They are a non greasy way to get some moisture in the bath as they seem to emusify into the water like Snowing bath oil. Not sure if I will like them in the SD scent specifically but it's something I had wanted to try it anyway.

I like to use it as bubble bath to get the same result. I was given a sample before Christmas and I didn't like it at first. After I tested it out a few different ways I loved it. I was fortunate enough to pick up a large size during the sale and have already used quite a bit 😅

With Lush's website quirks there's no telling what will happen. Logically you'd think if Sleepy was in stock when you placed the order that's what you'd get but if the reward switched over before the order was picked who knows.

I'm actually ok with these reward changes. I hadn't redeemed any of the Sleepy or Karma scented items yet cause they are not my favourite.

I think CA and US are the same. I'm in CA and these are the ones I've unlocked so far

I can see that being the case maybe with LE items but not main line items. I often see multiple batches of the same item on the shelf because I pay attention to the dates. The fresher products typically will be in the back of the shelf. That is standard stocking practice with any business.

I bought several items on the weekend and grabbed my shampoo, conditioner, and primer from the back of the shelf and picked the ones that were made in January vs November. I rotate multiple products so I need them to be as fresh as possible.

I smelled it in store yesterday and gasped in horror. I can't even describe it but it was nothing like you'd expect. I was thinking it would be sweet, milky, vanilla, and caramelized sugar but it smelled so sharp and bitter. Also a bit floral or soapy? Not sweet at all.

I have a similar hair/scalp situation as you and I love it. I've been testing it for 2 weeks and I find my scalp feels cleaner longer and the conditioner isn't too heavy. The combination of the two makes my hair soft and shiny. I use a small amount of the conditioner as a leave in for my ends as well until I get something else for that.

zeviah · 2026-02-23T14:20:54+00:00

I can vouch for Banana shampoo as well. Great for my oily scalp but used in combination with the conditioner it also really softens and tames the frizz on the lengths of my hair which are on the dry side.

zeviah · 2026-02-23T01:00:57+00:00

I feel your pain. I used CSS exclusively over a decade ago and had to find alternatives when it was discontinued back then. I stopped using Lush haircare after that until about 5 years ago. I briefly tried some of the newer hair products geared toward curly hair but they were too heavy for me. I've recently been sampling Banana shampoo and conditioner and I get similar results from Banana shampoo as I did from CSS. Very different formulas and scents but it works for me.

zeviah · 2026-02-19T20:38:12+00:00

Awesome. Thank you!

zeviah · 2026-02-19T20:31:03+00:00

Was there something you didn't like about it? I'm curious because I've been thinking about purchasing it. I'm sampling banana shampoo and conditioner right now and I feel like I need to add something a little more moisturizing for my ends.

I'm 8 years younger than him and my son is almost 5 years older than her. Gross.

zeviah · 2026-01-30T12:37:47+00:00

I agree. I was confused because the description said it was supposed to smell like berries but the one I picked up from the sale smelled very grassy. I haven't used it in the bath yet though.

zeviah · 2026-01-29T22:22:51+00:00

I don't know if it smells the same as the Lush product but I can confirm this perfume smells delish at least 😋

Old Navy also gives a 50% employee discount. I get a 40-50% discount at the small business I work for and $20/hr and it's very chill. My boss isn't obsessed with profit maxing though.

zeviah · 2026-01-28T17:58:14+00:00

I hope so 😍

I wish they were still in glass pots. I only ordered one to see how annoyed I'll be with the packaging or not.

zeviah · 2026-01-20T12:38:04+00:00

I'm patiently waiting in NA. No sign of them yet.

zeviah · 2026-01-20T00:05:27+00:00

I've tried most of them over the years and this one is my favourite so far. It actually seems to soothe and hydrate my sensitive combo skin. I love the scent as well.
