  I love the KOP mall.  Everything that you could want is right there in that mall. 
  
  I've always wanted to try their products but I stopped after I read that some of their bath bombs stained tubs.  Could you imagine having a stained red tub. No, that isn't blood. 
  8-X

  Married on October 20, 2012.  Began trying in January 2013.
  RE appointment & testing December 2013 - February 2014= Unexplained IF, possible endometriosis
  IUI#1- March 22 (100mg clomid, 75 mg of Bravelle, Ovidrel trigger) = BFP!!!

  I too love KOP but it can be quite dangerous for the wallet.  We only have a walkin shower do no bathbombs for us, but I will remember that once the downstairs bathroom is complete to avoid them.

  I've never used their skincare products, but I looooove their soap, bath bombs, and bubble bars. I always have a stash on hand, and my nearest LUSH is a little over an hour away too. If you get into the bath bombs or bubble bars (or those lotion-y bath bars- not sure of the name), you can ask them to cut them in half for you. I do that for the big ones to stretch my dollar a little further.

  I have never had any problems with the bath bombs.  I like their face toner.  There may be a face cream purchase in my future.  The only thing that I don't like is how in-your-face the sales associates are.  Sheesh.

  We love them at our house!!!! I always stock up on my Lush stuff for about a 2 week supply as far as the bath bombs and bubble bars go. I swear by the face mask and toner tabs, and hubby loves the dirty soap and body wash, and I do too,lol! But at the same time it's a 15 min drive from the house and 5 min from REs office, I'm not sure I would drive 1.5 hr for it.

  I love the soap, bubble bars, and shampoo. I couldn't do the solid shampoo though it just weirded me out. I love the sea salt shampoo BIG, it gives me tons of volume and shine! I also love the lip scrub, my lips are so smooth after using it! The cuticle cream is also amazing! I have 2 within 15 minutes of my house so it's hard to stay away. I have to admit that I do splurge a lot on stuff like that but I'm not sure if I would drive that far for it.

  I'm a newbie to this board (just started a clomid cycle with a RE) but I was lurking and startled when KOP was mentioned!

  
  

  Where do you guys live? I'm in MontCo. 

  
  

  Absolutely LOVE Lush and was happy when they put in the KOP location so I don't have to go to Center City for my bath bombs!

  I have a friend who only uses LUSH products and she has AMAZING skin. That said, she has said she makes living a completely vegan lifestyle her priority and all of her excess income goes into it. It's definitely incredibly expensive to use it regularly, but her results make me tempted every time.

  I love Lush! DH and I fell in love when we went to STL for our anniversary. Since our bathroom at home is lame, we always get a hotel room with a soaker tub when we stay somewhere... so we tried the bath-bombs on our mini-vacay. LOVE THEM. 

  
  

  I also like the lotion bars!
