Lush to use up!

I've been organizing my Lush and there's some stuff that I want to use up! I also saw some people on Youtube that's been doing the same thing. So I bought a little basket from Walmart for $3 to put the products I want to use up in there. I'm setting my deadline to the end of December because I want to clear some stuff up before the Christmas sale at Lush! I highly doubt that I would be able to finish all these sample soaps though. For those of you who are doing the same, please post a comment on what items you guys are trying to get rid of! Including your deadlines!

The items to use up by the end of December:

Tval:
Pink Cotton Candy Shower Sundae sample
Strawberry Rhubarb Shower Sundae sample
Pumpkin Marshmallow Skin Smoothie sample
Banana Puddin' soap sample
Pumpkin Lavender soap sample
Coffee soap sample
Lavender Vanilla soap sample
Lavender Fig soap sample
Pink Cotton Candy Skin Smoothie sample
Gingerbread soap sample
Morning Dew soap sample
Neroli Cedarwood soap sample
Blueberry Verbena soap sample
Cranberry Biscotti Bath Treat

Lush:
1/6 Blue Skies and Fluffy Clouds Bubble Bar
1/2 Temple of Truth Bubble Bar
Slice of Quinquereme soap
Bathos Bubble Bar
1/2 First Swim Bubble Bar
Harvey Bath Bomb
Butterball Bath Bomb
1/6 Comforter Bubble Bar
Tiny sliver of Miranda soap
Slice of Snowcake soap
H'suan Wen Hua Hair Mask sample
American Cream Conditioner sample

And the ones I currently have in my shower that I want to use up are:
Pumpkin Soap, Tval Shine Solid Shampoo Bar, Whoosh Shower Jelly, Joy of Jelly Shower Jelly, Emperor of Ice Cream Buttercream, 1/3 Tub of Dreamwash, and a small piece of Therapy Massage Bar.

The Lush bath bombs and bubble bars should be fairly easy to finish up by December, but the soaps and jellies and stuff are a lot harder to use up since I use only a little bit at a time. I've been using my pumpkin soap under the water so that I can use it up quicker, but since I don't use it everyday it's hard to finish. I've been switching it up with the jellies and Butterball Shower Gel.

Wish me luck guys! And remember to post your lists!

Whoosh Shower Jelly

Lush says: Have you noticed the way that time speeds up as deadlines approach? 'Whoosh' is the sound they make as they rush by. To slow time down, what you need is a Whoosh shower, with its ultra-refreshing essential oil blend of the citruses (plus lemon, lime, and grapefruit juices) with revitalising rosemary and balancing geranium, which we put in there to wake you up a bit, but not too much. Excellent for overcoming jet-lag.

I just started to come to love Lush's shower jellies, at a bad time too because Lush is/has discontinued many of their shower jellies, with only three left: Whoosh, Joy of Jelly, and Sweetie Pie. I am really disappointed because I really wanted to try The Big Calm. I received Whoosh as a sample from my favorite SA, who stuffed the whole sample they had on the floor in a tiny little tub. The sample consisted of about 7 good-sized pieces.

See, like many others, I used to think that the shower jellies were a waste because they just ended up going down the drain. Now I pre-cut the jellies into small pieces and I squish them in a loofah. Yeah I know, it defeats the purpose, but it really makes the jellies more efficient. I am not left with the tight and dry feeling I get with the soaps, but my skin feels super soft and moisturized after using the jellies.

The color of Whoosh is a pretty translucent blue, and it smells mainly of grapefruit. The consistency of Whoosh is actually a lot harder than the other jellies (correct me if I'm wrong, maybe it's because it's been sitting in my drawer before I finally decided to use it), so this one would probably not break up as easily as the other ones. Still, I like to squish Whoosh in my Loofah. It creates a really good lather, and the scent is amazing if you like citrusy scents. The other day, I woke up so groggy that I placed Whoosh right under my nose in the shower, and inhaled deeply. Wow, that sure did it. The scent actually reminds me of Sexy Peel soap without the sweetness that Sexy Peel has. I really love the shower jellies and I hope they decide to make more!

For those of you who don't know yet, the Christmas items are out, including 2 jellies: Snowshowers and Strawberry Santa. I ordered the Snowshowers during the Fanfare Chat Party on September 30th, and I can't wait to try it! I may stay away from the Strawberry Santa because it seems like everyone hates it and claims that the smell is fake. Maybe when it comes into the stores, I'll sniff it first before I buy it.
