Dating back to the original B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful product roster in 2003, the entire Assassin Fragrance line was
discontinued in 2005, in part because London's Underground was a bit miffed that B used their red and blue Tube logo, which is
evidently trademarked.
Product description from the first ever B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful Catalogue, Spring 2004:
A fragrance that tells everyone that you are crisp, brisk, and business like. It casts a bright green force field around you, especially on
the tube, bus, train, airplane, in fact places where you don't want them to.
Assassin is a sharp intense green fragrance, aggressive and focused. Think of a knife edge with a powerful oakmoss at its hilt, green
forest notes of cypress and pine as its blade and a citrus tip. An all round dangerous perfume (and I challenge anyone to wear it and
not feel efficient.)
Synchronise watches, water blasts from the shower. Assassin shower gel, notes of lemon, grapefruit, and bergamot help boost
concentration. Thirteen pounds for two hundred grams of scene setting, leafy green freshness.

A truly sparkling body spray with Assassin will maintain freshness that the public transport will try to remove. Ninety grams (one for
every sweating body on the train) for thirteen crisp pounds.

Lush has sold Fresh Face Masks since 1989 when they were doing business under the brand name Cosmetics To Go.
No preservatives, no synthetics, 100% natural.
When Cosmetics To Go closed for business only to be reborn as Lush 1995 (the full story can be found HERE), they sold Bio Fresh
Face Masks & Body Scrubs in pots containing 4 treatments each, with a use-by date set for within three weeks of purchase.
And as you probably already know, they still do!
But in 2000/2001, Lush began selling each of their Bio Fresh products in single use Ultra Fresh packaging crafted of fresh flowers
and fruits, to be used within 48 hours of purchase.
By the end of 2001, however, they discontinued Ultra Fresh.
Many people complain that they can't use a whole pot of Bio Fresh before it expires, and especially recently, I've noticed a rise in
the number of requests for single use Bio Fresh products to avoid waste, both of product and finances.
And yet, few know that Lush actually did used to sell precisely this, and for precisely this reason!
Product description for Ayesha Face Mask:
We don't much like the idea of going under the knife to make ourselves look younger. How about being proud of living as long as we
have and still being here to tell the tale? That said, every now and again you may like to take away the fine lines just for a few hours to
look your absolute best for a special occasion. Ayesha does that. This deep green, magical mask uses fresh, cleansing asparagus,
astringent witch hazel, elderflower and limeflower and kaolin to tighten the skin temporarily, naturally. Use it wisely.
Apply to clean damp skin avoiding the eye area; leave on for ten minutes then rinse off with warm water. Use when you need to.
Ingredients List for Ayesha Face Mask:
Fullers Earth, Honey, Elderflower (Sambucus nigra) & Limeflower (Citrus aurantifolia) Decoction, Glycerine, Fresh Asparagus
(Asparagus officinalis), Fresh Kiwi Fruit (Actinidia chinensis), Kaolin, Witchazel Extract (Hamamelis virginiana), Rose Absolute (Rosa
centifolia), Rosemary Oil (Rosmarinus officinalis), Patchouli Oil (Pogostemon cablin), Elderflower Vinegar, Bentonite Gel, Perfume

What is the Gambler's Spread(sheet)?
Did you know that due to the cost of importing ingredients, product prices differ greatly between Lush UK and other countries?
Depending on what you're ordering, sometimes it will be less expensive to order your products from your own country, and other
times it will be cheaper to place an order from Lush UK.
And for US customers, did you know that unlike other Lush conquered nations, there are not only price differences between Lush
UK and Lush North America, but also within Lush North America? Depending on what you're interested in purchasing, a trip to an
American store may be cheaper than ordering online. On the other hand, it can sometimes actually be more expensive than mail
order, even with the additional cost of shipping. For larger orders, sometimes it may even be more cost effective to order from
Lush UK. Then again, it might not. Not only does no single venue possess the lowest product prices right across the boards, but
things like exchange rates, total shipping weight, promotions, etcetera always play a role in such determinations.
Hence, for your convenience, we've created spreadsheets for Lush's international customers -- updated with the latest products,
prices, shipping specials, and promotions on the 1st of every month -- in the hope that this will aid you in getting the biggest bang
from your Lush dollar.
Simply add product quantities and fees for your preferred shipping option per our provided rate charts and everything else is done
for you!
Use it to prepare wish lists, to figure out which products are available in one country but not another, or to work within a specific
budget (should you have that kind of discipline -- bless those who do!)
Additionally, for those leading so called group orders (combining several peoples' orders into one large order to save on shipping
fees -- or better yet, to just do your mates a favour because you live near a LUSH store and they don't), we've even included an
invoicing feature for each person ordering with you. No more adding products, prices, and converting from sterling pounds to
dollars for overseas group orders! Woo hoo!
If you have suggestions for improving upon this spreadsheet, or if there are any other helpful features that you'd like to see
added to this spreadsheet, email me and I will do my best to add them to the following month's updated spreadsheet.
Also, thus far, I've only posted a version suitable for US and AU customers. But if you are a Lushie from elsewhere, and would
like a spreadsheet prepared to suit your needs, email me and I will do my best to create an additional spreadsheet for your
country, as well!

We bring you the FEBRUARY 2007 edition of The Gambler's Spread(sheet)!
So far we've got American and Australian editions available for free download.
I had planned to create two additional spreadsheets for Canada and New Zealand, and also to add an option for ordering from
Australia to the American edition as well.
But, I'm afraid those new editions and features will have to wait another month. Not only was I unable to retrieve in-store pricing
information in time for today's update, but I also need to develop a system that will enable me to quickly update multiple sheets for
multiple countries. My apologies for the delay on these other spreadsheets! I will TRY to have them ready for March!
