lush or fresh?

[pseudoADD]

which do you buy from more often? what product do you like the most? ako lush, relaxing lavender. it really is relaxing!!! kind of like having a mini spa at home! how about the others?

[mintymalone]

neither... hindi lang ako interested. sorry.

[pseudoADD]

oh, that's too bad. handmade soaps are really many many times better than commercial soaps. and the benefits are far-reaching. hope you do get interested in them someday. but if not... oh well!

[pseudoADD]

oh my!!! did i say LUSH? i meant fresh! oops! :blush:

[juve_grrrl10]

i like Fresh's Full Cream Milk bar!!! sobrang decadent, ang bango-bango pa! pag nga ito ginagamit ko, feel na feel ko maligo :glee:

i'd love to try Lush products, though, except that they're really too expensive...

[PearlM]

Fresh....i use tomato and milk (milk and tomato?) :cheese:

[pseudoADD]

yeah. i've tried the full cream milk bar too. it's divine! it's hard to come by in the atc branch, but when i do, i cherish it!

haven't tried tomato and milk yet. will do so soon :)

it's smells good...

i've tried cucumber bar and tea tree...but i always go back to tomato and milk.

[pseudoADD]

okie dokie. i kept the brochures, so everytime i try something, i can grade my experience with the product. :)

so far i've tried: lavender (this is the one i always go back to), it's an A+; full cream milk A+, love it calendula A, olive oil B+, apricot scrub A-, mint cucumber-something A (you should buy this in the summer, to keep you cool!) next, i wanna try papaya, tomato and milk, malunggay and the sugar bar.

i also wanna buy the tomato and basil to keep by the kitchen sink. it supposedly wipes out garlic smells after cooking. :)

also, i always buy in twos so that i can get a green leaf mark on my frequent bather's card.

[dee-dee]

FRESH!!!!!

ang sarap ng feeling after stepping out of bath!!! i love their berries and oats! *okay*

[skulgirltrx]

Haven't tried LUSH yet, but I do love FRESH'S Papaya scent ! Pati bathroom ko bango ;)

[bancier2001]

LUSH...tanong: di ba masyadong bumubula soaps nila? I bought the mint tsaka yung massage bar nila, ang tagal kong natapos maligo kc nga di bumubula sabon nila :( ...mahal pa naman!..but their OKRA hair conditioner is OK..

PS...saan binibili yung FRESH products?...am from Cebu kc.

[jade77]

saan ba nakakabili ng FRESH products? alam ko lang LUSH eh :redsmile:

[pseudoADD]

hi bancier and jade! :wave: fresh! is usually in kiosks. there are kiosks in alabang town center, filinvest, and in makati. there is most probably one more kiosk somewhere up north, but i can't remember where. where else pa ba? i used to have their paper bag pero someone used it. i'll try to look for it and post the other branches soon. in the meantime, maybe you can email the editor of fresh! news: kelly@pworld.net.ph for info.

bancier, i use a body pouf with my fresh! so that i don't waste it. it really lasts longer that way.

it would be nice if you guys try. life is short! use good soap!

i lifted this verbatim from the newsletter:
"soap is that slippery, pastel stuff which smells vaguely of flowers which you use to get yourself clean but otherwise do not pay much attention to, right? NOT ANYMORE! say goodbye to your dull (cometimes even harmful) commercial bars and say hello to the exciting world of ALL NATURAL, HANDMADE SOAPS! colorful, fragrant and ACTIVE ingredients take the blah out of bathing. experience for yourself the exciting, delicious art of bathing. with so many to choose from, you'll never use "boring" to describe your bath again. WARNING! expect frequent and logner bathing times. happy bathing!"

[pseudoADD]

Is this for the FRESH products? i dont think LUSH will sell well here in Cebu..the market is very much different from Manila..besides kuripot daw mga Cebuanos..lol..
Thanks for the advice re using body pouf with your LUSH soap..try ko mamaya!!:D ..but their body lotion is good ha.

[fortune_cookie]

you guys made me want to buy... how much is a bar of soap from fresh?

[Qrius]

hi! i was at the mall earlier and i saw fresh ! i remembered this thread and thought maybe i should check it out. i asked for full cream milk well, it's not really that fragrant as compared to the others but what the heck, someone swore by it! i might as well try it. i got the small one... P58 then maybe get the bigger one later if i get favorable result. there were smaller ones that are beautifully wrapped, i'm thinking it would be nice for wedding giveaways. :)

[pseudoADD]

yes, that list is for fresh. really bancier? i always wanted to try FRESH body lotion!!! sige nga. i will try.

fortune_cookie: re: FRESH prices... the cheapest is 50 bucks. that's the square kind. (haven't tried bubb-balls yet, but i guess it's cheaper still), the single bars are about 85-115, and i'm sure the loaves are much more economical, but they sure won't give you any variety, if you're the kind who wants to try a new bar each time your previous one has run out.

for gift ideas, try the 3-milk bars in one package. we gave that to one of our friends during her bridal shower when everyone else gave her undies. it comes with a miniature bathtub ala dispenser. after all, it all boils down to SKIN, and not undies on your wedding night!! :naughty:

nge... i re-read the Qrius' post and it said giveaways for weddings... sorry! :blush: oh well... i think that's a good idea too. how much are tiny ones with nice wrapping?

[indigo24]

I prefer Fresh.

[fortune_cookie]

just a question... is fresh an imported brand?

[juve_grrrl10]

ako rin! :glee: kinda bad trip nga lang kasi hindi pala ito honored pag sale nila...speaking of which, hindi ko alam sa ibang stalls, pero dito sa southmall clearance sale nila! you can get as much as 30% off. i got the parsley and clay bar for only P63! kaya yung mga taga-south (o kung matiyaga kang mag-biyahe), bili na kayo dito... hindi ka lang nga alam kung hanggang kailan ito. akala ko kasi kaya sila nag-sale kasi isasarado na nila itong branch na ito, pero hindi pala, para lang daw maubos na yung stock nila!

pseudoADD, merong Milk bars sa southmall! 10% lang nga discount, so for the bath size na usually sells at 110, 99 na lang. discount pa rin yun!

Qrius, mabango yung milk bars pag ginagamit mo na! hindi mo kasi masyadong maamoy yung sabon sa mall. kasi nga sample na nila, naka-bukas na, kung sino-sinong humahawak... trust me, it smells wonderful! and i read recently in kinny salas' column in inquirer that boys/men like that fresh scent of milk products on girls! uuyyyyyy.....

Ang masaya sa thread na ito, lahat ng nag-reply so far eh mas gusto Fresh! :D iba na talaga pag gawang Pinoy... so fortune_cookie, obviously Fresh! is a local brand. Si Nelia Silverio Dee ang proprietor. At siya rin pala yung gumagawa ng Anonymous soaps!

and about gift wrapping, i'm not sure if this is the standard charge, but last Xmas i gave the 3-soap-pack as a gift and teh giftwrap cost P20 (if I remember correctly...basta mura lang).

[pseudoADD]

juve_grrrl10: thanks! i'll try to go to southmall. milkbars are super popular in the branch where i buy, kaya sobrang sold out and hard to come by! really? boys like them? :)

well, yeah. our friend, to whom we gave the milkbars for her shower, said her brother likes the smell. he used them at one point, loved them, but stopped, kasi he didn't want to smell like a girl! i told him that there are GENTLEMEN ONLY bars at FRESH.

fortune_cookie : fresh is owned by a certain nelia (yeah, you're right, juve_grrrl10, thanks for supplying her full name as well as trivia!), a filipina, but i'm not sure if it's an international brand. what i do know is that the art of making soaps using the COLD METHOD, (which nelia uses...oooh! feeling close :) !) as opposed to the HEAT METHOD, like, say P&G and Unilever, has a strong following in soapmakers in the US.

[konstantine]

LUSH.

Their stuff maybe a lil expensive compared to Fresh but their soaps are much bigger in size. Also, they're so creative...who wouldn't want a massage bar shaped like choc bars? Their stuff smells soooo good. My fave is Demon in the Dark and also their bath bombs.:)

yup its owned by nelia silverio dee and kitkat silverio-zobel

[fortune_cookie]

oh! okee!!! :) cool! wow! fresh is made in the philippines! nice to know that we got brands that can compete with the international brands.

i haven't tried fresh products yet but i'll drop by their stall tomorrow when i go to the mall and see how great their product really is.

you guys made me want to try everything! hahaha! but i guess, i'll try one bar at a time.

[JoYcE`TiK]

does fresh have a website?

[pseudoADD]

not sure. last time i checked, wala. :(

[PearlM]

psuedoADD...wala bang website? i threw away my brochure, pero parang nakalagay dun...or was it an email add?

[PearlM]

ohhh, i see. thanks. :)

yeah, it would be nice if they have their own site. and i should do what you're doing...mark and rate those soaps i've tried.

LUSH!!!

Stand even three meters outside their store, and you can't help but notice the heavenly smells emanating from their soaps. When I feel down, and have money to spare, I buy 100 grams of the Banana Moon soap. Oh how I love the way it smells! Sure it melts so quickly, and will last a few days to a week at most, but it's still way cheaper than getting an aromatherapy massage.

[fortune_cookie]

i got a melon mint bar from FRESH! :)

will try start using it tomorrow! i'm excited nah!

OMG! isang linggo lang pala lifespan ng Lush soap/s? tapos averaging around P200 a bar... hmmm, I'll stick with Fresh muna! half the price, at sa gamitan ko mga 2-3 weeks ako nakakaubos ng isang bar. kung yung big size ng Milk bars minsan 1 buwan pa nga eh!

[pseudoADD]

page starter!

FRESH sweet slumbers is pretty good !!! i like it! i like it!

fortune, how's melon mint? there's a nice spray kasi from bath and body works na melon mint. maybe i can pair the two!!

[juve_grrrl10]

did you guys know there's also a Fresh brand in the US/abroad? pero yung dito is Fresh! :)

[fortune_cookie]

hi pseudoADD!
i like fresh na! the melon mint soap is so bango! smells like mint! hehehe! :D

[pseudoADD]

sorry sorry sorry!

[pseudoADD]

double post!

[pseudoADD]

hi guys! fresh has a sale at the glorietta 1 branch! saw it last weekend... was thinking of buying, but didn't, knowing i still had those giveaways from my sis. but now i'm regretting it!!! i wonder how long it'll last? sigh!

hey juve_grrrl10 , that's interesting! do they have a website?

fortune cookie, it's a good thing it wasn't too cool for you. i'll be buying that this summer :) ginawin ako masyado eh.

rela321 - was able to get into the site na, and one item appealed to me --- the coffee bomb. have to think about it though. it is kinda expensive.

[juve_grrrl10]

iba yata yung US Fresh brand, hindi itong local na Fresh! (note the exclamation mark?) nakita ko lang yung product sa sephora.com

hanggang kailan nga kaya yung sale? nasa southmall ako kanina, sale pa rin doon. baka hanggang katapusan? hindi naman sayang kung bibili ka na ngayon tapos stock mo muna, di ba? ;) ako rin, gusto ko pa bumili, kahit yung 30% off soaps lang.... imagine, 60 na lang!

[Abby McBeal]

grabe, ang dami pang full cream milk bars sa southmall :D i braved the crowds a week ago and stocked up. :D:D:D i also bought this pinkish soap that kinda smells like stationery or something. it's a moisturizing bar, and it has parang cornmeal bits in it for exfoliation. thing is, i forgot what it's called. i'm loving it very much, and i think i want to stock up on that as well. does anybody have a brochure with them? it starts with a "p" e... :(

could it be PINK SMOOTHIE? not sure if it has cornmeal though...

"Be in the pink of skin health with this Pink Smoothie bar. A handful of Linden flowers and extract impart anti-stess aromatherapy while helping to diminish wrinkles"....

Kasi the other P's in the brochure are Pure Almond (nah...), Parsley & Clay (uh... don't think so!), Papaya with Oatmeal (nu-uh), Papaya Lights (nope) and Purple Bubbles (duh! lalong hindi!)

Did I help? :D

[roxyd3428]

suggest ko i-try nyo ang revive

parang naliligo ka ng menthol-cool toothpaste ..:D

[pseudoADD]

hi juve_grrl10! was powdered milk on sale at southmall? it wasn't at atc :( but i did get a lot of stuff i've been meaning try, but haven't yet, and i included na rin some christmas gifts for friends. the salesladies were kind enough to re-wrap some of the stuff i got.

roxyd3428, is that fresh or lush?

[roxyd3428]

pseudoADD

fresh ***... sabi ng package directions
dont use this soap at night...kasi magigising ka..
sa lamig!!

saka meron siyang konting exfoliating action...
there are some grains in the bar so they also give you a "small" scrub

[onioncube]

I bought one full cream milk bar sa Fresh last weekend. Ang bango bango nga nya.. *okay* Excited akong maligo everyday para magamit siya.. hihihihih

[PearlM]

you know...i feel that way, too. excited ako maligo kasi sarap talaga ng Fresh...at ang tagal ko sa shower. :teehee:

[leslie_ann]

I am using Fresh! Tomato and Milk, super bango nga sya at excited ako maligo...kaso i noticed nagddry yung skin ko, unlike kapag johnson's milk bath ang gamit ko. Ayoko naman mag-lotion after kasi scented yung lotion ko, so natatabunan yung amoy nung soap...

For Fresh! users, hindi ba nagddry yung skin nyo after taking a bath?

[PearlM]

leslie_ann, i use Tomato and Milk, too. ok naman sya sakin. i normally wouldn't leave the house without lotion...but on days when i'm in a rush and i have to skip on the lotion thing, my skin doesn't feel dry at all. baka hiyang ako sa tomato and milk. or baka sanay ka gumamit ng showel gel...maybe you should try other Fresh bars with moisturizer.

[leslie_ann]

Thanks for the reply PearlM. Baka nga sanay na lang ako mag-shower gel. Pero excited pa rin ako sa tomato and milk =) next time yung full cream milk naman.. for those who tried both, ano yung mas mabango sa inyo?

[pseudoADD]

roxyd3428:

bago yang revive ah. it's not in my brochure (circa 2001, hehe!)

Abby McBeal:

so maybe the bar you bought really isn't Pink Smoothie, and probably a new "release" whatddya think?

onioncube and PearlM:

i feel exactly the same way... excited maligo, at ang tagal-tagal pa. guys, we deserve it! we have to love ourselves first before we can love others, di ba?

leslie_ann and PearlM:

naku. i completely forgot to buy tomato and milk during the sale! malamang hindi siya kasama...super popular kasi eh!


i gave a balikbayan aunt a bar of fresh, and she was so psyched about it. bilib na bilib siya! she even said she thought she saw nelia dee on tv talking about the soap on coffee talk. i told her i didn't see that episode. sabi niya she's almost sure that was her because when i showed her the brochure and she saw the pic, she thought the lady looked familiar.

did you guys see it?

may powdered milk ba? alam ko lang yung full cream, skin milk and oat milk...pero oo, noong sale kasama yung milk bars, 10% lang. tapos na yung sale eh.

anyone remember their soaps that they sold from barrels, and the soaps were also shaped like barrels? ang bango-bango kasi ng chocolate -- or was it orange? -- soap nila dito, eh hindi na yata nila ginagawa ito kasi hindi ko na nakikita sa stalls nila. pag tinatanong ko naman yung mga clerk, hindi nila alam. but the soap i really liked was coloured brown, and the scent reminded me of orange-flavoured chocolate, kaya ngayon hindi ko talaga maalala kung orange o choclate talaga yung pangalan. pero sigurado ako may isa pa silang scent nito na grass, kasi ito yung binili ng kaibigan ko.

full cream milk, not powdered milk, sorry. powdered milk is just an ingredient in full cream milk... :blush:
but then, finished na...sige, next time there's a sale, i'll buy at southmall instead.

i wish i was a fresh fan then. hindi ko na yon naabutan :(

[seahorse_seeker]

where exactly in southmall and glorietta can i find the fresh stall? am interested in buying those milk bars...

[baileys979]

Hi! do you guys use it on your face? also.. ano ba *** soap na pwede sa oily skin? suggest nmn po... :D

[PearlM]

leslie_ann, i just finished a bar of full cream milk. it feels good on the skin....pero mas mabango ang tomato and milk.

[Lynelle]

I've tried Lush and it's 'bango' but 'mahal nga lang'. I'd like to try Fresh..can anyone tell me where exactly is it located in Shangrila mall or Robinson Galleria? is it inside the dept store?

[leslie_ann]

PearlM, thanks ulit!
pseudoADD, grabe, tinype mo yun lahat?!
Thanks ha, I've been faithfully asking for a brochure, laging wala na =(

Dapat binabayaran na tayo ng Fresh! nito ha? =)

[jade77]

di ko pa na-t-try yung fresh eh.

i've tried lush products palang. so far i love their "i must coco" soap. super bango rin and it smells so sweet. tinikman ko pa sha and truly, matamis sha. my skin feels so smooth afterwards.

i also tried lush's 'ibiza party shampoo' and their 'forever in bloom' conditioner. i discovered i am so sensitive to commerical shampoo that after i used lush hair care products, hindi ako nag-dandruff at all. nga pala, by using lush's 'soak and float' shampoo bar, my long battle with dry scalp was solved.

[jackmcph]

I like Fresh. I love the smell of their Happy and Gay soap. It smells really good.

As for Lush, all I can say the smell of the store is too strong.

[Lynelle]

i bought a bar of happy and gay soap for my gay friend for Christmas. hope he likes it!

yeah. minsan the smell of lush wafting out of the store makes me dizzy. sana they have a stall na lang para yung smell hindi kulong. i'm intrigued by the bath bombs, thing is, we don't have a tub!!!

guys, doon sa trio na for stress relief, sarap ng lemongrass ang chamomile! it really relaxes!

sa southmall, pag pumasok ka sa main entrance mula sa alabang-zapote rd., nasa left side siya (pa-square ang area ng mall na ito). bale malapit na yung stall sa may supermarket/ace hardware.

sa glorietta naman, malapit ang stall sa doors on the sm side, bale sa ilalim ng escalator kung aakyat ka papunta sa national bookstore.


jade77, can you give me an idea how much lush shampoos cost? ako rin, hindi ko type mga commercial shampoos. sa tutoo lang ang ginagamit ko lang na shampoo eh gugo :D

pseudoadd, aha, nagkamali ka lang pala! kaya natawa rin ako eh...powdered milk? ginawa mo namang instant! :lol: ibig mo bang sabihin parating ubos ang milk bars sa alabang, doon ka bumibili di ba? wow, may following nga...

pwede na rin tayong magtayo ng fresh fan club ah! :lol:

baileys979
sige, baileys979. let me know what works for you.

juve_grrrl10

amen ako sa fresh! fan club! sana as part of the by-laws, the members have an additional discount to the one enjoyed using the Frequent Bather's Club card!!!!! hmmmm... payag kaya yung mga owners?

[BaBy_gUrL_09]

Fresh! has gotten itself a new customer thanks to this very informative thread!

I bought the tomato and milk soap last last week and I must say ang bango talaga niya! However, just like PearlM, my skin experienced dryness. Yung Full Cream bar ba hindi nakaka-dry?

Can someone post the descriptions of the other soaps?


Thanks! :cheese:

Pseudo: Walang Fresh nor Lush dito sa Cebu....huhuhu....I bought my sangkatutak na Lush last May pa nga dyan sa Rockwell...Really want to try all those Fresh products you are raving about...

[RALPH WALDO]

I've only tried one Lush product and that is "Plantation" solid shampoo with Persian henna. It did make my hair shinier and softer. My friends even thought I underwent hair rebonding. ;)

I want to try Fresh products. But the question is, DO THEY REALLY WORK? Kse I really, really get disappointed and depressed when a product doesn't live up to what is written in its package. Baka naman puro scents lang ang ibinibigay ng soaps nila? I want tangible and visible results, not just olfactory! :D

[jade77]

i've just checked the price of the shampoo and conditioner, and it costs Php 150.00/ 100g bottle. Pero it's so economical because you only need a small amount for a full lather. After using their shampoo, hindi na ako bumalik sa commercial shampoos. Since then, my scalp wasn't itchy at all, even if i wash my hair daily.

I also bought Fresh!'s Tomato and Milk. Nag-dry rin ang skin ko pero it smells really great. Try ko nalang ang Full Cream Milk next time baka sakaling hindi mag-dry ang skin ko.

I've also tried Lush's "Banana Moon" soap and it smelled really delicious. Kung gagamitin ko sha sa gabi, the next day, mabango pa rin ang skin ko. Kaya yakap ako parati ni honey :redsmile:

Sa dami ng handmade soaps na binili ko, i cut them into blocks and use them alternately... para every day, ibang "flavor"... everyday, something new to look forward to...

sa glorietta naman, malapit ang stall sa doors on the sm side, bale sa ilalim ng escalator kung aakyat ka papunta sa national bookstore.



Thanks for the info! Pupuntahan ko na to sa weekend. hehehe :D

BaBy_gUrL_09, RALPH WALDO oo naman nagwo-work ang Fresh! soaps, moisturizing talaga kasi kahit minsan tamarin akong mag-lotion,hindi naman nagda-dry ng todo skin ko...unlike noon na 'ordinary' soaps ang gamit ko, hindi ko dapat makalimutan mag-lotion unless gusto ko ng dry skin...:belat: bonus na yung aromatherapy niya kasi super bango talaga, tapos nakakatulong ka pa sa local economy by patronizing local products! wohoo!!!

jade77, thanks sa info on lush shampoo. mahal nga for 100ml, pero kung tulad ng sinabi mo na worth it naman....sige, masubukan na rin, pero siempre subukan ko rin yung shampoo ng fresh! :D

napansin ko ang daming gumagamit/sumubok ng tomato and milk soap c/o this thread...aliw lang!

oo nga, b, i think meron sa cebu. sm??? wala ba? sabi sa brochure meron daw. sayang naman kung wala na!



juve_grrrl10 true, true!!

BaBy_gUrL_09, RALPH WALDO, jade77

try niyo:
luscious olive - (from brochure) we just love what olice oil does for the skin. it keeps it moisturized and supple without being heavy or sticky. so we introduce to you this bar loaded to the max with olive oil and a cheering fresh scent

it won't dry the skin. kaso lang, i rate it a B+ for the olfactory effect. i was comparing it kasi to the smell of Body Shop's olive soap. that one has a stronger smell, but the Fresh! Luscious Olive is more moisturizing.

BaBy_gUrL_09 , o, that's one off the list you asked for! next time uli yung iba!!!


roxyd3428 really? how's the smell of the shampoo and soap in one? my hair's thin also. thin and limp. off-topic: there's a clinique spray that gives limp hair more body. i like it!


jade77

i'm kinda like that too... i open lotsa bars at once so i can have a different sample each day. and i use a different soap in the am and in the pm. how much pala is the Banana Moon soap? hindi ba mabilis matunaw? i'm intrigued!

[roxyd3428]

roxyd3428 really? how's the smell of the shampoo and soap in one? my hair's thin also. thin and limp.


*** sa kin d *** masayadong mabango as compared to the other fresh bars

but then again, lagi siyang ubos....so i guess lots of ppl like it..

okay kasi siya sa problem hair ko..

now if i ca only buy new hair :D

[a_roamer_jinn]

hi guys! :wave:

for LUSH users: can you recommend a good shampoo? i'm dying to try out their shampoos coz i'm tired of using harsh commercial products on my thick and slightly coarse hair.

for FRESH users: i'm currently using Melon Mint. It smells s0oo nice! Really wakes me up in the mornings. *okay*

[seahorse_seeker]

went to the fresh! stall in sm southmall. i bought the three milk bars (oatmilk, skin milk, and full cream milk). my mom bought total bliss, simple and the sampaguita bub-ball. ubos na yung tomato and milk kaya hindi ako nakabili.

am currently using oatmilk. ok siya and it does moisturize a lot. mukhang magiging regular buyer na ko ah. hehehe. :D

[Zen]

I prefer Fresh! A lot of friends gave me packs of Fresh! soaps during the Christmas season and my birthday eh. :laugh: I've tried their pure almond, soothing honey, lavender, oatmilk and the destress triple. So far, no complaints. :)

I tried the calamansi soap thingy from Lush. It's supposed to take away dead skin and, well, it didn't make a difference. :hiya: O baka naman mashado lang makapal ang balat ko? :teehee:

[roxyd3428]

sarap din ng amoy at good sa skin iyong dandelions made juciy cube bubballs...

ny teen daughter uses durign breakouts

[PearlM]

roxyd...ok nga ang shampoo and soap bar! i've been using it for a week already. it's really perfect for fine hair like mine. but i stopped using the bar for my body coz i got these itchy bumps on my back...so, back to tomato and milk. and...i've tried dandelion, medyo nag-dry ang skin ko dun.

[juve_grrrl10]

to those ppl wondering about the lush website, it's now up again http://www.lush.com.ph

[Zen]

Wow, the Lush shampoo bars are really good! :up: I don't even need to use conditioner and my hair stays soft and tangle-free! :beam:

Yikes, I sounded like a commercial. :hiya:

So I guess for me it's Fresh! for bath soaps and Lush for their shampoo. :)

[RALPH WALDO]

Yes, I agree with Zen. Me too, I use Lush Plantational solid shampoo for my hair and Fresh! Skin milk for my body.

Thanks to my friend Iya who gifted me with Skin Milk from Fresh! I've also tried Full Cream Milk. Is it just me or do these soaps sort of smell like Perla soap? Pero mabango naman sila talaga.

Almost all the Fresh! soaps claim that they have exfoliating properties. Is this proven? Is this the reason why the some of the soaps tend to dry up the skin? Ang dami ko na kasing nakitang handmade, herbal soaps na nagke-claim na nakaka-exfoliate sila. Feeling ko bogus.

As for Lush, I have only Plantational shampoo (P175) and I was happy with the result. They are very confident about the effectiveness of their products as what they said in their Lush newsletter.

[farfalla]

hello! just wanted to ask, can i use soaps from Fresh on my face? or are there any particular kinds of soaps for the face? thanx! :D

[TonjuaTwist]

hi! i think they do... but i'm afraid i can't post their descriptions anymore... i've lost the page with those bars for the face!!!
it's the same page with the body scrubs, i think.

oh, and guys... i've heard them advertise on boy abunda's late night show. big time na sila! i just wish they'd re-print the brochures again. mukhang kawawa na talaga yung akin eh... and that brochure said they'd be coming up with new stuff...and all...

ps my last two tries were:

Spiced Mandarin: oh my gosh, what a revelation!!! it has a unique fragrance... and it's a great pick-me-upper... has anyone else tried this? what do you think smells better, this or Papaya Lights? help me out, please! I wanna give either this or Papaya Lights to a friend for Christmas. thanks!

Smells Cola: it smells... like those cola candies. i bought one as a gift for a friend's kid and i ended up using it instead! hahahaha! it's not as relaxing though as the others. i guess you use this when you're already in a good mood!

[violet18]

bump...:)

[juve_grrrl10]

meron na silang mga pang-regalo para sa pasko ah. nakalagay sa mini-bayong yung mga soaps. aliw nga eh :)

hey juve!!!! how are you doing?? haven't been to the malls lately. will do asap.

[juve_grrrl10]

hi pseudoadd! ako naman ubos na uli stock ko...need more soap!!! hehe

alam mo kung saan ako aliw na aliw sa fresh soaps? ang 'sarap' nilang ihati! :glee: yung bath size kasi nahihirapan akong hawakan, kaya hinahati ko sa dalawa, tapos pag-slice mo, para kang nag-slice ng cheese o ano. haha! ang babaw ko ano? but if you look at it this way...if you further slice your soaps...mas nakakatipid ka pa....di ba? ;)

[pseudoADD]

do you have your own chopping board? i heard that they used to sell that along with the loaves of fresh.

[juve_grrrl10]

actually, no, just use an ordinary chopping board and kitchen knife! nice sana kung meron ka ngang sariling board & knife, ano? but obviously owning one would be ok if you buy your soaps in loaves...para naman siempre magamit. pero sus, even my mom wants one...kahit pang-display lang daw! haha. na-turn-off lang siya noong sinabi ko sa kanya kung magkano aabot ang isang loaf ng sabon...kaya, by the slice lang muna :)

[melrosegirl]

meron bang fresh sa glorietta???? saan? i can't seem to find it and i even asked their customer service booth and *** daw silang store na ganun. HELP!

[juve_grrrl10]

melrosegirl, yung fresh store nga sa glorietta ang 'flagship' store eh! paanong mangyayaring hindi alam ng customer service nila?!? bale yung fresh store nasa ilalim ng escalator kung paakyat ka sa national book store; nasa may entrance/exit siya malapit sa SM side.

asar naman yung customer service....kung ako ikaw, babalik ako doon at magre-reklamo ako at imbes na sila ang may alam eh wala pa silang maitulong sa customers nila! duh?

[dac]

lets put it this way..

Lush is really expensive... but the very instant you try the soap....
you'd find out why its expensive.... its really worth it.

as for the shampoo bars which cost 200+ a bar (a small circular soap) its really an experience. the size is very deceiving... cause just a little water and swipe it on your hands... it can make your hair lather like crazy.... no more conditioners....
when your hair dries...ang ganda ng bagsak..... no more bad hair day.......

i tried the one with peppermint...to stimulate the scalp.
lets just say i'm going to try the other shampoo bars cause its really worth it.


By the way.. if you have a RUstan Card... you get 10% off on Lush products.... so i make it point to bring along a card holder when i'm buying from Lush.

so my friends.. when you look at the price..
don't think of it as an expense...
think of it as an investment... for a finer healthier look.

dont take my word for it.. try the shampoo bars and tell us all about it.

[pseudoADD]

grabe!!!! i wrote a lengthy reply to you juve, but when i pressed the reply button, i got booted out of pEX! boohoohooo...

and i didn't even save my message! darn!

that was two days ago

first of all.. naaliw lang ako sa mom mo, juve. i sometimes wonder whether or not i wanna buy a loaf of fresh too, but then i change my mind coz i'm the type who wants a variety of soaps all the time. not really loyal to one, although i do have favorites. second of all... hmmm... there isn't any! can't remember! sowee!

btw, melrosegirl, the kiosk you're looking for is actually near Lush. near the entrance of one side of the mall. can't remember exactly coz i hardly go to that branch.

dac

i was actually thinking of buying the pied de pepper foot cream. is the "pepper" peppermint? i just saw it in an ad in a magazine (mega) and i'm thinking of trying it. pero pangit naman if i go to the store, ask for a sample, and wipe it on my feet diba? can anyone vouch for this specific product?

melrosegirl, no problem :)

[pseudoADD]

i tried kiwimosa cube na. smells nice. nice texture c/o the kiwi seeds. but for relaxation, nothing beats relaxing lavender and chamomile!!!

hi juve! you sure wake up early!!

[juve_grrrl10]

pseudoADD, hindi ako maaga magising...more like hindi pa ako natutulog eh! :glee:

[pseudoADD]

:surprised:

[anne06]

Try Washday greens shampoo and forever in bloom conditioner from Lush. I have really fine hair and i was amazed to see that my hair had life and body the first time I used it. And it doesnt develop any build up plus my hair is super soft and shiny. Definitely better than commercial shampoos.
For soaps, I like Fresh's Tomato and milk. Best I've tried so far among their soaps. Lush's Karma and Milko smells good and works well too.

[PearlM]

Lush's conditioners are too light for my hair...medyo nag-dry ang hair ko. i've tried veganese and coolaulin...and even the strokes. i wasn't so happy with the results. i wanted to try forever in bloom but i don't like the smell. the shampoo bars (those round thingies) are good. i bought my hubby jumping juniper and it did wonders to his hair. i use it sometimes and it really makes my hair manageable.

[BaLdoMarO]

Just use Lush's Buddha Bar or Plantation shampoo bars (best shampoo bars for black hair) and you wont even need to use any hair conditioner

[juve_grrrl10]

fresh fans! may promo uli sila sa buwan na ito. you can get 2 soaps for only P100! but it doesn't apply to all soaps ha? but still...sulit :D

malamang hindi kasama milk bars. hmpf!!!!!!!!! can't they see how loyal we are?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[juve_grrrl10]

tama ka diyan...walang % yung milk bars! siguro kasi bestseller talaga ito (?) kaya baka malugi (??) sila kung may % kasi siempre magho-hoard ang ibang tao nito (like me). kahit yung tomato & milk din, no %! :eek: basta ilan lang ang walang %...pero bad trip rin kasi ito pa yung mga favorites mo! oh well.

[PaJaMaS]

hi! what lush shampoo or conditioner can you recommend for dry, coarse, and mabuhaghag hair? also prone to falling hair

[anne06]

PaJaMaS: These are the products that have been tested by my friends and I:

Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo - makes hair soft and smooth
Okra Conditioner - for shine
Antiphilitron shampoo - removes hair buildup( smells great too!)
Ibiza party shampoo - for shine and life
Trichomania solid shampoo - for dry hair
Dr. Peppermint - prevents falling hair
Ultimate shine shampoo bar
Plantational shampoo bar - for super shine

Enjoy!
:cool: :cool: :cool:

[tsinggay]

i really like angels on bare skin from lush!!! :D my skin has become smoother and softer!

i have also tried ultimate shine shampoo bar with forever in bloom conditioner. when dry, my hair became shinier than usual but i had trouble combing it after showering (while it's still wet). it's even easier to comb when i use johnson's baby shampoo and pantene conditioner... but i'm still going to try either the plantational or buddha bar! hehe... :)

thanks! i got one for a friend and she loved it! :)

[funkstar]

grabe! ever since i discovered lush, call it exaggerated but it completely changed my bathing habits! usually i spend like 15 minutes in the bath but now with all the lush products that i have, i can't even get myself out of the shower!

a must by: angels on bare skin. i have combo skin and it works for me! added plus pa yung herbal scent!

i also tried the okra conditioner. paired with the ibiza shampoo
it's your solution for soft, trouble-free hair. it's perfect for gimmicks too. as the bottle says, it lasts till 4 am.

if you want ultra shiny hair and your hair tends to dry using commercial shampoos, try the ultimate shine shampoo bar. not really that fragrant but what the hell, the name speaks for itself! as in may glitters pa yung bar!

try also the buffy teh backside slayer. it's good for those dark areas such as the siko, the singit...hihihi... just don't rub it into sensitive parts such as your boobies (and you're not that "*****" to do just that!)

also the soaps are great! kaso they tend to melt easily. as in the life span is a week.

i wanna try the plantational pero it looks intimidating! has anyone here used it? and what's the effect? diba it says it's for shiny, red glints?

pahabol... i tried the marilyn hair moisturizer. it's a good alternative for your typical hot oil!

[Artemis]

Washday Greens (Lush)- I love the fresh minty scent and it doesnt weigh my hair down
Soap/Wash: Oil of Olay(Pink) and Extra Virgin Olive Oil Soap :D

[safari_pooh]

[Artemis]

I made a mistake in posting...I thought i was posting for the soap and shampoo thread. Oh well.

BaLdoMarO : It's the only soap I always come back for. The last time I went there, I got 600g of the soap.

I also got the Miranda, Sandstone soap and BAck for Breakfast as presents during my birthday. The miranda is ok but it smells too sweet so i don't feel clean after. The sand in Sandstone is a great exfoliant. The lemony scent makes me feel fresh all day. The body wash is a great pick me upper.

Lush makes bathing something to look forward to. ;)

[Artemis]

safari_pooh : Yup there's one in Shangri-la. It's right in front of National Bookstore.
You won't regret using their products. And don't be discouraged by the stong scent of their store. Their soaps smell nice and subtle on your skin and makes your bathroom smell divine. :D

[BaLdoMarO]

Its a breathtaking product, leaves your skin moisturised and supple...600 g is a bit excessive dont you think? Or maybe you got a lot of family members to share it with?hehe...Alkmaar is nice and creamy and has a lovely floral scent, i love how it suds up in the shower. Demon in the dark is nice esp. if you love the peppermint zing and that tingly sensation in the bath.

[Artemis]

I know 600g is a bit excessive but I put some of it in my room as air freshener. It drowns the cigarette smell whenever I smoke. hehe. The rest of it, I keep coz I don't want to run out it it. I cut it up so I don't put it to waste.

I'll try demon in the dark next time. Thanks! :D

I know theres 1 in Robinsons Galleria, either 2nd or 3rd floor. Im sure theres 1 around in the Makati district.

[Artemis]

Glorietta 4
Greenbelt 3
Shangri-la Plaza Mall
Powerplant Mall

These are the only branches I've been to.

[heartlight]

wala na daw fresh sa southmall??

i was reading this threat at nung desidido na ako bumili...

wala na daw fresh sa southmall!!!!


grrrr...

[Artemis]

Meron naman sa Town Center eh. You can go there. Napansin ko nga na tumaas prices nila.

[heartlight]

yup....i tried revive, skin milk and papaya with oatmeal... SARAP!!!!
very satisfied with fresh.. though i remember they were cheaper dati...

now, from luch naman... i just got the plantational shampoo bar... since there are no stupid questions..bakit ganun.... parang tumigas ang buhok ko. my previous shampoo was that new lux 24 hr thing and lambot hair ko.. since i want the shine also, i tried plantational...

can someone enlighten me... baka mali lang paggamit ko...

there goes my P175.00....

[BaLdoMarO]

I tried several Lush soaps but they melt really fast. The purple soap for men was a particular downer because it became too soft to handle and it had that sludge consistency when it loses half of its mass.:confused:

My friend has the same problem. Plantational dried out her hair and she became susceptible to split ends. I guess the product does not agree with your hair. Next time, buy a teeny weeny bit first and try it out before spending your hard earned dosh on a bigger block. Try Buddha Bar next.

[juve_grrrl10]

the fresh booth in ayala has moved! used to be underneath the escalators near National/SM entrance, now it's in the 2nd floor near Figaro/Cinderella/Cibo area. at least that's where i saw the booth. noong napadaan ako walang tao/sales eh.

[jackmcph]

Is Fresh still in business? Their stalls in Robinson's Place and Glorietta are no longer there.

:(

[Felipe]

question please for the ladies

what is your ultimate fresh and lush soap for men?

yung tipong mapapa-mmmmmmmm ka sa bango!

tnx! :D

[archt_marj14]

The Fresh stall in Shangrila Mall has also gone missing in action. :(

I'm currently using Lush products and here's my faves:

[x]Angels On Bare Skin- definitely a must-have! I have combination skin and when I started using this, my pre-menstrual breakouts have considerably toned down. Also, it has made my skin smoother and more strokeable. More often than not I don't even wear blush or powder anymore! :*)

[x]Demon In the Dark- I'm such a sucker for everything minty that's why I just had to try this soap--and it's fab! Really wakes me up in the morning and the additional scent of apples gives it that extra yummy factor.

[x]Freeze- I use this whenever I have a slight cold or suffering from extreme morning 'katamaran'. Really clears my head in a snap. :glee:

[x]Washday Greens- still within the 'mint' product range-- I just adore its smell and the effect on my hair is brilliant! Made it more manageable without making my scalp itchy and leaving behind buildup.

I'm going to try their Mask of Magnanimity and Tea Tree Water next! :bounce:

:bounce: Couldn't agree more. use it for 2 weeks straight, and you'll notice a BIG difference in your skin. Extra Virgin olive Oil enhances the texture of your skin too.

[Artemis]

Fresh soaps are expensive na. I still prefer Lush. One bar at fresh is 120-130. :rolleyes:

[juve_grrrl10]

talaga? baka naman ito yung bath sizes. alam ko kasi yung personal/smaller sizes ang mga P60+ lang.

[Mark_Aidrian]

may Fresh pa ba sa SM north edsa?

If ever, can u tell me the location.

thanks.

check out the stall at town center. that's the price i saw when i was supposed to buy the tomato and milk. the round ones nga are 70 each already. they used to be around 55 lang d ba? well, there are a lot of handcrafter soaps being sold so i guess the competition is really tough. the bazaars sell it for 40-50 only.

[juve_grrrl10]

oo nga, alala ko yung round soaps 55 lang. obviously kung 70 na ngayon di nagtaas na talaga ng presyo. baka may lugi sila last time kaya bumabawi sila ngayon (?)

[*Zaphne*]

saan ba makikita yung fresh stores?

i've been to glorietta, megamall and shangrila but i can't find them. closed na rin ba yung fresh branches in these malls?

[snowtiger]

I'm such a lush addict! I swear their stuff is so great! I have yet to try Fresh though. Haven't seen any of their kiosks/stores so if I do chance upon one, I'm getting one of their milk soaps since it seems a favorite among your posts.

For LUSH, there are four shops:
- in Glorietta 4, beside Mossimo
- in Greenbelt 3, near New World Hotel, a bit hidden but near the escalator
-PowerPlant, Rockwell
-ShangriLa Plaza

Among the products I've tried, I would gladly recommend the following:

(1) Fresh Farmacy - with calamine lotion, should be the answer to those with sensitive skin. A bit drying though, it must be coupled with a moisturizer. It dried out my skin, but Celestial moisturizer fixes that for me. Also, the calamine's supposed to minimize the redness.

(2) Angels on Bare Skin - a really good facial cleanser I must say. My skin feels so lovely afterwards.

(3) Tea Tree Water - hey, I haven't had a new pimple or a great breakout after using this. I've been using it since January 1 but I had my period this week, so that must mean a lot. See, I'm one of those pimple-prone girls with sensitive skin. Hmpf! I'd recommend this toner to those prone to acne.

So far, I will gladly recommend these products. My suggestion to those who wanna try Lush products, ask the Lush staff in the shop. They know their stuff and would gladly give you tips depending on your hair/skin type.

[shadowboxer]

I've only tried their creams & dusting powders, like Helping Hands & Bare Naked Lady early last year, & I'm hooked, haha. I haven't dared to try their soaps yet, but I'm itching to get my hands on their Enchanted Eye cream & Mask of Magnanimity next!

[girl09]

LUSH!!!!

[pc03]

Meron ba nito sa market market? o megamall?san doon?

[spiceboy!]

You can check out their website. LOTS of useful info there
