So, I walked into the Lush store in Milton Keynes, UK. . . .

DorietteFarms, Trichomania was my my shampoo too!

My favorite soap was Sultana - because of the scent. I still wonder how I can recreate the scent in my own soap. I am HORRIBLE at mixing scents, so I have never even come close to mixing up anything that smells close. Spenny, any thoughts?
 
Closest Lush store to me is the one in the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota -- about 4 hours away. The one time I was there some years ago, I found the MoM overwhelming -- too much stuff, too many people! And from what you guys say about Lush, it sounds like I'm really not missing anything by not having it on my bucket list. :)

Gosh I remember my Mall of America visit. We were there all day and had only covered a quarter of that place. I was completely exhausted and overwhelmed. I totally understand.

Check it out JayJay (http://www.fragrancebuddy.com/sultana_by_lush_type_fragrance.aspx). FB has lots of Lush dupes and I know I post about trying them quite often but I promise I'm not on their payroll or anything! I'm just impressed that many of them are pretty true to the original (at least to my nose).

They are in GA so just next door to AL which makes shipping cheap for me and they offer free shipping if you order $75 (I'm pretty sure this is all the time). Anyway I find them to be a good value but some of the dupes have a fairly high usage rate for CP so I've tried to avoid those. I feel like I can have the best of both worlds with my homemade soap recipes combined with the old Lush scents I grew to love.

How about Skinny Dip, remember that one? I've got a honking bottle of that one and it takes me back in time. Soaps real nice too and sticks like glue . . . you should try it (yes I'm enabling :problem: ).

My eyes just started to water. Oooooooh boy, this is gonna be bad for my budget. Sooooo many thing I want to try. GA isn't far from me either. Thanks so much! Grinning from ear to ear.

I just got 3 different shipments from 3 different vendors over the past three days. I just got back from the store loading up on salt. Now this? Between this and my salt bars, I am beginning to feel like a real addict, or hoarder, or something.
 
The packages I've received from them have a Woodstock, GA return address. From looking at the website I don't think they do a will call or pickup. Just looks like email or online orders . . . I can't even find a phone# on the website. Also not to bust anyone's bubble but I'm pretty sure others on the forum have reported some issues with them but I haven't personally. Everything I've ordered has been 100% correct with no surprise charges, damaged items, etc.
