I really don't get it! My Facebook feed is full of people moaning about being in an online queue or declaring they've been lucky enough to get on the site.
It's only soap?! Whatever they've done to create this hype is admirable!
Have I missed something? Do they turn you into insert name of drop dead gorgeous celeb if you bathe in their products?
IIRC the bath bombs are only about £4 anyway?!?!!

i tried to get some instore about 2 weeks ago was told its no more, im hoping that ur right and my store is wrong as its the only one i like

MoonshineJungle · 26/12/2016 19:13

I won't lie I do love lush and the products have never disappointed me they're good quality but I wouldn't do what Ive seen people on my Facebook doing today, someone has their whole Bed full of bath bombs and bragging about their haul, feel like replying to them they must really smell if they need that many!

MissClarke86 · 26/12/2016 19:15

I bought a Sakura bath bomb the other week too.

My queue now says "queue paused"!

PinkCrystal · 26/12/2016 19:16

I love lush. A close family member works there and no they don't do zero hour contracts. They treat staff very well. They get amazing discounts and guarentee hours. Also they get freebies/samples!!!!

And I got lots of lush pressies yay!

As for pitying people that work there, many are huge fans of the products so they love the smell!!!

Website has crashed I think

pregnantat50 · 26/12/2016 19:21

it will be upsetting to find nothing left or worth buying online after this wait. My daughter wants snow fairy stuff

expatinscotland · 26/12/2016 19:33

They had a sale on before Xmas and got DD2 snow fairy stuff then. She's 11 and loves it. Got her a lovely Benefit powder puff, too. And those wand bath bombs.

glueandstick · 26/12/2016 19:37

It pays to know someone who works there. Was dead easy to get my shopping done ;)

TheBadgersMadeMeDoIt · 26/12/2016 19:52

I used a bath bomb from Lush once. It gave me a rash, stained my bath blue and stank to high heaven.

Never set foot in the place since and can't imagine queueing to buy that over-priced, over-scented muck. If I wanted to smell like I'd been hosed down with Toilet Duck there is a much easier/cheaper way...

Sallystyle · 26/12/2016 20:07

I love Lush.. the cleansers and skin care is wonderful.

I am in the queue and it's not moving too quickly.

I hope there is stuff left if I ever get on.

alphabettyspaghetty · 26/12/2016 21:01

101,000 now 😄

tallulahturtle · 26/12/2016 21:06

Won't shop with them after finding out about their support for hunt saboteurs.

youredeadtomesteven · 26/12/2016 21:09

78,190 people in front of me. About 2 hours ago it was over 100,000.

I bet when I get on there will be fuck all left.

DramaInPyjamas · 26/12/2016 21:12

I too joined the queue out of pure nosiness.
I refuse to believe that there are actually 90354 people ahead of me actually waiting to buy.
It'll all be nosy buggers like me curious as to what everyone else is queuing for.

dawnc27 · 26/12/2016 21:15

im now at 25k so 3/4 of the way there lol told hubby that its just so i can be nosey but if theres anything left by the time i get on i cant promise i wont buy....

NapQueen · 26/12/2016 21:16

115002

That's my number. There'll be nowt left!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 26/12/2016 21:16

I'm up to 26,000 now. 52 mins estimate. I just want to see if they have any sakuras on there. I've promised I won't spend any money today!

LightastheBreeze · 26/12/2016 21:16

I'm at 42000, just want to see what happens but it could be very late

Starlight2345 · 26/12/2016 21:18

I am up to 33419.

I think thats after about 2 hours..

I am searching the net for a new rug so not likely to be buying..

LilQueenie · 26/12/2016 21:21

Lush is great. Why are people so surprised that they dont support the hunt? They support nature and use natural products.

Soubriquet · 26/12/2016 21:26

21992!

Northernlurker · 26/12/2016 21:31

There were at least thirty people on the York queue today. Who knew that many people wanted thrush in time for new year?
