Come and tell me about your love of "Lush"

[Liltzero]

So I was out for a Boxing Day run this morning (madness many of you may think) but not as mad I thought as the folk queuing outside Lush in the city centre waiting for the doors to open and the sale to start.

Please, what am I misssing out on? I've never shopped at Lush! TIA

I get thrush just walking past Lush 😬…l like some of their products but mainly the unscented face cream and the CBD bubble bar, the rest just brings my eczema up or causes thrush.

Yankee candles are an "upgrade"?
They sell them in card shops what are they an "upgrade" from @Katypp ?

My friend gave me some once for Christmas, even through the box and the wrapping paper it stank so much I had to keep it in a cupboard rather than under the tree. I opened it, and binned it as I couldn't stand the smell and i didn't think anyone would want a box of second hand bath bombs - but in hind sight I probably should have given it to the charity shop.

I used to like Ultrabland for getting makeup off but then cleansing balms/oils became a thing so I never bothered buying anymore. Same with the shampoo bars.

Yep, i rest my case. Because there are no candles anywhere cheaper than Yankee.

I have tried many brands and types of solid shampoo and conditioner over several years.

I've now settled on Lush 'Honey I've shampooed the Kids' and their Big conditioner.

Dd likes their bath bombs.

Our local one doesn't have pushy staff at all.

If the Ines I was advised to use previously - they made my hair feel awful. I threw them away.

@Longma ppl have different hair types, they are cheap enough to try and not like , it was a suggestion not a command.
Lush encourage their staff to be persistent & 'friendly' in the sales approach its pretty well known for its overly enthusiastic sales staff.
I'm not the first person ever to mention this.

Lead up to Christmas time and the sale after is the only time our Lush seems to be busy

They’re political f*ckwits who support sending chest binders to children and want to defund the police so I tend to avoid them like the plague personally.

They did something with chest binding and that pissed a lot of people off. I liked some of their older products but the newer stuff isn't as nice imo.

I like their stuff. DD1 loves going in and looking at all the bath bombs. They gave her a free one last time she was in, which she was delighted about! I don't feel really strongly either way about it tbh. They have some nice stuff and their shops are really colourful so I understand why people like them.

I used to shop there for almost all my toiletries. I thought they were an amazing company, ethical, sustainable, treated their staff well... and then I joined a sub reddit hoping to find out some information about future releases. And I instead found out the company wasn't really what it seemed. After a bit of googling I never shopped there again.

Are you sure they were queuing rather than paralysed by the fumes?

I quite like their purple shampoo, and the vodka face scrub, and occasionally the snow fairy stuff but it's too pricey to buy regularly.

Their Wasabi and caffeine shampoo is probably the best I've ever used. I'm not into their other products but some of it is good.

went in one recently in Westfield and it had the pushiest sales guy ever. Put me right off and we just walked out. I do like some of their stuff, but it's totally overpriced and over scented.
I call it Thrush not Lush!

I feel the same on both counts - would never shop there

I'm perfectly happy with polyester and scents in general. 🤷‍♀️

I used to love it, maybe 20 years ago. They used to make some really nice products - Skinny Dip shower gel and Forever in Bloom shampoo spring to mind. But they discontinued them and started to do gimmicky but impractical stuff like frozen shower gel and tubs of shampoo with salt in it for example. I continued buying the soap bars for a while but they became too expensive.

I used lush a lot when ds was a soap dodging young one. He could be tempted into a bath with a colour changing bath bomb or bubble bar.

It stinks in a truly vile way. Even walking past a shop is unpleasant, so I can't imagine how awful it is to have in the house.

@Sinkintotheswamp its a reincarnation, their first attempt ended in bankruptcy

They want to destroy girls' bodies, what's to like about them?
