LUSH

If you've ever been to Europe you may have seen some fancy schmancy body shop (not like cars) called Lush and thought "psh. vegan crap." (actual quote) and kept on walking. But not us. We ventured in. Actually A was the first one to discover it, when she was in England, but one recently opened in our local centre commercial and she insisted we have a look-see. You enter the store and you may be a bit overwhelmed by the barrage of 4000 different smells and colours, but don't lose faith. Keep on truckin. First start to browse the walls and then venture to the back, ending with the tables in the middle. Soon after trying on the Dream Cream or mayhap the $89.75 moisturiser, the sales people will start to orbit. Within a few minutes one will approach-DO NOT BE ALARMED. They are your friends. They will start by directing you to the nearest exfoliater and finishing it off with cuticle cream- but it doesn't stop there! You will not leave the store until you have sampled, I kid you not, EVERYTHING in the store. And after that salesperson leaves someone else might pounce and offer you more free samples! (What's better than free stuff?) You leave the store feeling soft and pampered, and smelling like a pixie, with a good sense of well-being. The prices are a bit high, but they are reasonable for what you're getting. You really get your money's worth.

A's Favourite Product: Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub
K's Favourite Product: Fairy Jasmine Bath Bomb
A&K's Favourite Routine: Use your favourite massage oil bar. After you're nice and oily finish it off with some Silky Underwear Dusting Powder for the "Supermodel Skin" effect.

*Fun Fact: Popular Geordie comedian Ross Noble mentions the Fairy Jasmine Bath Bombs (He calls them lass grenades) in a routine of his...it's a right laugh
