LUSH-ous Friday

If you wake up at the crack of dawn, or before, on Friday morning to snag those 5 a.m. bargains, then you will really need a relaxing treat at the end of the day. Even if you don't, stop by the LUSH store near you and take advantage of its Black Friday special.

LUSH is having its first every Black Friday sale promotion. For every $40 you spend, you get a $10 product for free. This could work very nicely for you. For example, if you buy two pre-wrapped gift boxes for your friends at say, $20 a piece, you will get two $10 products for yourself.

LUSH has great pre-wrapped, packaged gift sets that range from a few dollars to more dollars. They are full of the naturally LUSH-ous products that the store is famous for - and many are vegan.

Let's break this down even further. If you buy one Best Wishes Holiday Gift Set for $19.95, which includes a Mr. Butterball, Christmas Kisses Bubble Bar, and a Marzibain (one of which can be won in the House of Donuts Holiday Giveaway,) and a 12 Days of Christmas Holiday Gift Set for $69.95, which includes a Christmas Party Bomb, LUSH pud Bath Bomb, Mr. Butterball, Twinkle, Candy Cane, a Christmas Kisses, Marzibain, Angel's Delight Soap, Snowcake, Christmas Morning Bubble Bar, Chocolate Santa and Jingle Spells then you will get four $10 items for yourself. AND give your friends the gift they will most want to find under the tree or around the Menorah.

I gave some of these gifts last year and the oohs and ahs were very satisfying.

I have loved LUSH for a long, long time. It is another store I always made sure to hit when I was in the UK. And just as an fyi - one of my favorite LUSH products of all time has nothing to do with holidays or holiday gifts but it is soooo yummy for your face and your senses. It is the Ocean Salt Cleanser, a wonderfully refreshing exfoliator. Here's what the site description says about it:

"Generous portions of fine and coarse sea salt line the rim of an enriching facial scrub to wash away everyday grime. Ocean Salt refreshes, nourishes, and tones, all while smelling deliciously of violet and lime. Butters of the avocado and coconut variety take the edge off, moisturizing and softening your face to reveal a brighter you. Try it on other parts of your body as well and take a trip to Margaritaville without the hangover."

Mmmmm. I think I'll go wash my face right now!
