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?!?!!

OverScentedFanjo · 26/12/2016 22:15

BatFacedGirl · 26/12/2016 22:17

Anyone a member of Mrs Gloss on Facebook? Fantastic and huge beauty group and the admins are managing to delete all the Lush threads of which there's been about fifty apparently

I don't get it myself

AliceInUnderpants · 26/12/2016 22:17

ffs

PickAChew · 26/12/2016 22:17

There was a 60' 4 abreast queue for Lush in the metrocentre, this morning! Nuts!

Were they doing the lucky bags, this year, or something?

StarsandSparkles · 26/12/2016 22:20

Wtaf... thats one long queue 😂😂

LightastheBreeze · 26/12/2016 22:21

If you see a queue though people sometimes think it is better than it is, a bit like the Next sale which is shit when you get there, it is all hype

OverScentedFanjo · 26/12/2016 22:21

Was it a marketing campaign? Was there ever a sale?

WhoKn0wsWhereTheMistletoes · 26/12/2016 22:23

Mrs Gloss do delete/lock threads when multiple threads get started on the same subject on the same day, otherwise it gets very messy, especially now it's such a big group.

SausageSoda · 26/12/2016 22:23

Just went on to their website now to see what the fuss is about and there are 128,412 people in front of me. Who knew bath bombs were so popular Grin

BatFacedGirl · 26/12/2016 22:25

Who knows - yes they're bloody good like that. I am bemused by this Lush thing.

PickAChew · 26/12/2016 22:25

I'm about 10 ahead of you, Sausage!

Half the queue is probably people curious about were they'd be placed!

AliceInUnderpants · 26/12/2016 22:26

I hate that they've not updated the message on the website yet, just letting people continue to queue for the 'sale', hoping they'll buy something full price anyway whilst they're there.

Soubriquet · 26/12/2016 22:26

Just got in...definitely all gone

Shame really

YorkiesGlasses · 26/12/2016 22:29

I went off Lush when they joined in with the kind of 'sexualize/dehumanize a woman to highlight animal cruelty' stunts that Peta also enjoys.

(Plus their bath products started to make my bits itch...)

Soubriquet · 26/12/2016 22:31

Just looked on the FB page and there are some very cross customers

And I can understand why

The sale ended for some just as they went to pay. Everything was in the basket and then it all went up to full price.

MsMarvel · 26/12/2016 22:32

I still have more than an hour wait for a sale that's already finished... Confused

OverScentedFanjo · 26/12/2016 22:33

Crazy

Starlight2345 · 26/12/2016 22:35

Oh I have about 8 minutes might transfer to the ranty fb thread though

FormerlyFrikadela01 · 26/12/2016 22:37

people pissed off on Twitter because they had said the sale would end when everything sold out yet people who got through as the sale ended still able to buy sale stock but at full price.

My friend managed to get through and then got kicked off as she checked out earlier.

Mouikey · 26/12/2016 22:39

Out of curiosity I went to look (would buy some snow fairy if any good prices!). I was 99,000 and something in the queue, taken over 3 or so hours and once in doesn't appear to be anything on sale!!! Ridiculous!

Starlight2345 · 26/12/2016 22:42

yes no update on waiting website to say sale over..I don't tend to follow twitter for shops...However as I was only curious nothing lost for me.

MsMarvel · 26/12/2016 22:44

Yes I only joined the queue after reading this thread so not lost out on anything, but think its very bad planning for there to still be a queue of apparently over an hour for a sale that is already finished. With no notice that it has finished.

youredeadtomesteven · 26/12/2016 22:46

It's ended. Didn't even get a look in.
