Affordable alternative to Lush?

[crazypiglady]

DD13 loves Lush but it’s so incredibly expensive, particularly the limited edition bath bombs, are there any affordable alternatives that offer similar quality & fun factor?

Bomb Cosmetics are similar but cheaper, and their black friday deals (still going on) include the gift boxes which are good value
Black Friday Flash Sale! – Bomb Cosmetics UK

I don't think you can compare.

Especially at that age. It's usually the brand name they're into rather than the products.

Dd14 had £55 of lush stuff on her list.
Dd12 had a few bits and the body spray is £25 😬😬

Honestly there’s nothing that quite compares to the fun and uniqueness of Lush! The good thing for your wallet though OP is it’s a short lived phase, give it a year and she probably won’t want to step foot in any of their stores again

Once DD and friends hit 14 they were all far too cool for lush🤣 x

No I don't think there is. If you have one local you can go on Boxing Day and they usually have a big 50% off sale of their Xmas stuff.

I bought the Bomb ones once, they weren't as good, didn't dissolve very well.

Can you buy a load of Lush bits in the sale, or can you Klarna it? Klarna can be useful if money is managed well x

Maybe handmade stuff on etsy, but if she's anything like my 13 year old she'll just want lush because of the brand!
Aren't they having Black Friday/cyber Monday sales at the moment?

I have always like soup and soap. Based in Cornwall they do some really nice products which would rival, or better Lush's.

Lidl currently stock dupes of Lush shower gels. £1.99 for 500ml so very affordable. Their ‘Winter Queen’ is very similar to Snow Fairy. There are 4 different fragrances available.
