My brother bought me a Happy Bath day gift set for my birthday back in October and I still have two bathbombs left (Blackberry and Big Blue). I'm saving them up for special bath days :-) I don't want the box to get empty any time soon :-(
But then I'll just buy some new stuff

I'm loving their Mother's Day box - it looks so good and perfect for spring! And the tin is so beautiful :-)

Do you like it?

The box looks adorable, I'm just disappointed there was no shower products for Mother's Day. My Mum doesn't have a bath ):

You know you're a LUSH addict when you find choosing a new soap to use, a really tough decision

Do you have sensitive skin at all?
Is it generally greasy?
etc.

I would say it is more sensitive/dry, not greasy at all really

One of the products you should try out is the rose water one.

But if you go in an explain all this to one of the more seasoned sale's assistants, they should be able to help out a lot .

My Soft Coeur Massage Bar melted ): It was in the tin with the lid on tight (as always) and I must have left it under the light that goes all the way over my desk. I open the tin to use it and it's melted into a different mould ): It's still usable, but I've to scrape it out of the tin now. I miss its little heart ):

That's a little bit funny:P . I had one couple in lush tell me that they'd gone away for the weekend to a b&b . They left the bar in bed afterwards by accident and woke up to discovered it had melted everywhere .

AWW I really wish there was a lush in Durham nearest one to here is like the Metrocentre or Sunderland. Absolutely addicted to LUSH products... normally my christmas list / birthday list is all just LUSH stuff :P

[rockitrosie]

I looove Lush

The products I adore the most are Ocean Salt (I use it twice a week), Celestial moisturiser (which I use every night after cleansing - I find it a bit too rich to wear in the daytime) and Bubblegum Lip Scrub (makes my lips really soft but it's difficult to avoid eating it!). I've been trying their fresh face masks recently as well, my favourite is Cupcake (at the moment).

I've got my boyfriend into Lush too, he really loves the Whoosh shower jelly

I live in London so there's loads of Lush stores about, but my favourite one is the Covent Garden branch, because it's beautifully designed and laid out. Most of the time though I end up going to the Westfield Stratford one, because it's only ten minutes walk from where I live.

Ditto! Durham definitely needs a Lush. Newcastle isn't too far away though, there's one in a shopping centre really close to the train station

Hi, has anyone here used the caca rouge henna hair dye? What was your experience of it? Would I need to buy the brown henna to get my natural colour back (if I'm unhappy with the rouge colour) Thanks!

I used it and I have dark hair and mine turned out a beautiful shade of reddy brown and I loved it, if you wanted your natural colour then yeah go for the brown henna.
You're not supposed to use it though if you ever want peroxide or anything or at least that's what I got told by my hairdresser. I still prefer henna though.

Yeah I'd love for it to be natural looking which is why I'm considering henna. So it's okay to put the brown henna over the red henna? Does the red henna fade anyway? I'm just a lil worried in case I hate the rouge colour (I doubt I will though) just want to be prepared

Hey, I've used Caca Rouge quite a few times.

Naturally I have light/medium brown hair which is usually between jaw and shoulder length and really thick!

I used the Caca Marron once but it didn't make that much of a difference. I was after really bright red hair! When I did mine I used a whole block of Rouge to which I added heaps of paprika and lots of lemon juice, both of which are supposed to make it more vibrant. I piled it all on, wrapped it in cling film and then a plastic bag and then used a hairdryer on it (outside the plastic) to warm it all up. I washed it off about 3 hours later (I'm not very patient and it does drip a bit which gets pretty tedious!) and I ended up with bright orange/red hair.

If you're not after really bright hair, might I suggest you try using Caca Marron first? (Assuming you haven't already.) Alternatively, you can get a block of Rouge and then a block of the brown one (I think it's Brun?) and mix it. I think you get about 6 squares in a block from memory, so maybe try 2 Brun and 4 Rouge?

So in conclusion, I think it depends on what sort of colour you're after! If you do go for Rouge, I wouldn't mix anything extra in, just in case you don't like it. I imagine you could cover it up with the Brun, or the really dark one with the Indigo (but that might not be your natural colour!)

Hope this helps! Sorry it's so long!

Hi, your post was really helpful, thanks! Did the colour fade naturally? How did you get back to your natural colour?

Yeah, the colour does fade a little. Probably not as much as chemical dyes do. It also depends how often you wash your hair and what you're washing it with. I wash mine every day and I didn't use any products especially for coloured hair and I didn't get a great deal of fading. Then again, I do leave mine on for as long as I can bear and mix all sorts into it!

I haven't been my "natural" colour for a while! I've coloured it chemically a few times since I last used the henna (big mistake because it's a bit of a mess now!)
Because the henna made my hair a really different colour, when mine grew out it was really obvious so I covered it up with a box dye. I'm pretty sure you could re-do yours with Caca Brun, but the red is still going to show through, as Rouge is particularly vibrant. Even if you put the darkest one over, you might still get some red showing through so it's hard to say whether you'd get your natural colour back. I know that there are some problems when you try and mix chemical dyes and henna, but from memory (don't quote me on this!) I put a semi-permanent brown over mine I think and it didn't go green/fizz/drop off/anything like that!

If you're not 100% sure you want to try the Rouge, why don't you have a go with mostly Marron and mix in a couple of cubes of Rouge? Then if you really like it you can always do it again? I wouldn't go ahead with the Rouge straight away if you're already trying to think of the colour damage control afterwards! (I can't really talk though, having had some pretty monster hair disasters!)

Yeah mine it just faded away, and you can use the henna over henna
