Got around £40 lush vouchers. Any recommendations what i should spend them on?
Not body lotion or shampoo/conditioner as happy with what i'm using. No particular health/beauty issue i need to address, though all improvements welcome!
Hoping to go shopping later today so inspire me

Most of their stuff is gorgeous. Lush make some lovely bath & shower bombs which can be pricey but might make a nice treat for you? They also produce some lovely fragrances and make-up that might worth looking at? Their skin care is pretty fab, especially their moisturisers and fresh face masks, but again pricey normally.
I'd steer clear of their tooth tabs. It's solid toothpaste tabs which sound a great idea but are pretty grim.
Enjoy spending your vouchers!0 -
They do bubble bars( solid bubble bath) and 1 can be broken up to give you several baths. Bright side is a new one released for Easter and costs £4.25, it has a lovely orange smell, the comforter is black current scented and is one of their most popular. I personally love blue skies and fluffy white clouds. They do creamy candy £2.50 this is really sweet in scent and not to my taste there are loads more.
Bath ballistics are nice for a treat twilight £3.20 is very popular which is scented with lavender and malt. I like sex bomb, avobath, big blue and several more I can't remember the name of. I avoid the enchanter and Phoenix rising as they tend to stain the bath.
Rub, rub, rub, shower scrub(£7-8) is a product I buy regularly as it lasts and leaves my skin really smooth. They also do a solid sugar scrub which I break up again a regular I buy (£3something).
Soaps they do a huge range of soaps honey I washed the kids which smells of sweet toffee is very popular but they do loads. But if you are going to buy soap they cost between £3-4.10 per 100g but they never can cut them to the exact amount so they usually cost you a little more. Personally I like karma soap as the smell clings to your skin for ages after you have used it but it is not for everyone.
Avoid toothy tabs, the lip scrubs I think are expensive, the lip balms are alright but again they are over £5 so I don't tend to bother with.
They do a range of shower gels again they are expensive but they do smell nice.
Massage bars are like a solid lotion bar again I find I don't use them.

The other thing is bath melts, quite nice but a you have to spend ages cleaning the bath after so not very relaxing.
Their toner waters are nice.0 -
Lucky you. If I were you I would spend half the money on bath & shower bits. Then next time you visit you can buy with confidence - or you can spend the remainder at their after Christmas sale (which is always good)
If you like bubble baths, get a bubble bar. Although they're not cheap you can get about 4 baths out of one bar, by just crumbling a little of the bar into the bath at a time. You can get A LOT of bubbles, and they smell amazing. I'm not so fond of the bath ballistics as they tend to make the bath quite oily and sloppy.
At the moment Lush have specials for Easter so I'd probably buy a few of those, as they look interesting.
Their Rub Rub Rub scrub is the best scrub anywhere, and smells fab too!!
Also Lush are really good at customer service, so if you say that you've not used their products before they may be able to helpe you with some little freebies
Happy shopping. Let us know what you decide on!0 -
The Bubblegum Lip Scrub is one of my favourite things ever - you only need a little at a time but it leaves your lips gorgeous and soft. I also love the bubble bars - more so than the ballistics. Ceridwen's cauldron is a Lush product that i've used for about 10 years and its brilliant - it smells gorgeous and leaves your skin very soft.0

On my face I have oily but finicky skin so use their black soap called coal face. Its jet black and looks odd, so seems to put people off (I OCM at night and coal face in the morning = the best skin of my life)
Its the best ever. In fact just thinking about it I have been buying it without fail for over ten years because its just so amazing on my skin - never been tempted to stray - not once!
Love a bit of rock star soap for the body as it smells divine - but this is for treats only as very expensive. I would stock up on Snow Fairy (its only available from Nov to crimble) I would also experiment with some of their hair conditioners and a face mask or two.Please note I have a cognitive disability - as such my wording can be a bit off, muddled, misspelt or in some cases i can miss out some words totally...0 -

The Fluffy Eggs which are available now for Easter have the same scent as Snow Fairy ( and the old Candy Fluff dusting powder) if you want a fix lol!0 -
Thanks for the suggestions all. Got the rub rub scrub in the end! Shop was quite crowded so only picked up that one item. Plenty of gift voucher left so if i like the scrub, i can use the voucher to keep myself stocked up!0

Coconut soap. Honey soap. Blended Multi soaps.
Fizzy bath bombs. (I like ones with extras like rose petals)
I normally butter them up a bit and get an extra bath bomb or two thrown in when I spend £30 or so.0 -
