Or do you get sad and worried that it might mean they are discontinuing some fo your faveourite items? I tend to get mixed emotions. I love the excitement of being able to discover new Lush goodies for the first time, but then i get worried that i won't be able to buy them becuase i'll be spending all my money stocking up on my fave items that are about to be discontinued to make way for those new items. How do you feel?

I don't get dreadfully excited, but I do look forward to the new products. At the same time I get a bit sad because it does mean some things will be discontinued just to make place for the new products and I'm always worried it'll be a favourite of mine. Mixed feelings for the most part!

You don't think they're gonna discon one of the current massage bars do you?? Which one would go? Which ones could I live without... (well, really, my favourite is the merry xmas massage anyways, my other faves were disconned long ago, like after 8:30)
And we already know they're getting rid of the ginger bomb to make room...

The massage bars don't seem to go as fast as for example the ballistics go, but there's a chance that at least one will have to go. I'm not sure which one will go though, but I'm fairly certain ones like Soft Coeur and Wiccy Magic Muscles will be staying. Perhaps Therapy? I don't hear many people raving about it and it never smells strong enough for me in the shop.

Actually I'm a Therapy fan. I think it has a nice year round scent. It's hard to get a good whiff of it in the store, but the mix of lavendara nd citrus is quite nice.

For me, I think it depends on the item, and probably the availability. Like, I am excited that Lush UK came out with these new bombs, but not so much as to do an UK order for them. So, I guess I don't get really excited, just a little bit.

I get really excited when Lush comes out with a new item. I can't wait to try it. I even ordered the two new items in a UK group order since they aren't available here. I was going to do another group order so I could get the Candy fluff bomb from the Easter gift... but I don't have the money. I wish they would make a candy fluff bomb all the time. I've been really wanting one.

I do get a bit of excitement until I get to check out the product. Lately it's only led to disappointment, as I really wasn't impressed with the last several new bombs (ne worry pas, happy pill, etc.) But there are rumours around the forum about some new items I know I'll love (finally, a minty bath bomb! Yay! A new massage bar!), and even though I know we won't get them in North America for months, I still can't wait for that first sniff of a new Lush product!

I'm not feeling that inspired by many of Lush's new products, to be honest. They seem to me to be re-hashes of old ideas, and also most of them are fairly synthetic with colour and paper and sparkles etc. I like Lush for their plainer, simpler products which are dying out slowly as new customers latch on and buy nothing but neon pink bath bombs. I am sad at the moment because their are many rumours circulating about some of my favourite products being discontinued! I just hope their upcoming hair products make up for this ;)

I just found out a few days ago that my favourite face moisturiser was discontinued and boy was I mad! I really loved 'Aflerlife' but luckily enough thanks to an offer I was able to get a new moisturiser called 'Vanishing Cream' worth £15 for free as I had spent £20 instore. You could pick from all the new products. I have really oily skin and 'Vanishing Cream' is fantastic. It is really light and gets absorbed very easily. It beats 'Enzymion'.
As you can see I did get some consolation for my loss!!
I was also really excited by the new Toner Tabs. They really are fab!
All you need is a bowl with boiling water and a towel. Very refreshing!

I get incredibly excited, though I have been very lucky to not lose anything that is my absolute favourite to the dreaded discon list (well except for The Strokes but that is still available on Retro). I like having the Retro option as it makes the products seem a bit more special and it is nice of Lush to still make these products (even if they're not exactly big profit-makers).
