Who is still shopping at lush? It's so expensive!!!!! I used to be able to go and buy 3 bath bombs or something but I went in yesterday and the prices were so much higher than I remember them to be! Anyway I got one unicorn poop bath bomb. Is there anything there thats still reasonably priced anyone can suggest?

I was given a very expensive Xmas gift box and I'm pretty stunned at the poor quality.

I bought a stick perfume recently and binned it as it left a green mark where I applied it. Was over priced too.

If you can get over the super strong smell then the milk spray for hair is amazing. I leave the top off for a week and it's not as strong then but tbh the Milkshake conditioner is very similar and not as scented and half the price.

My lovely ds bought me it for Xmas so I love it for that but I wouldn't choose to go in there and buy anything.

@LoafofSellotape I'm glad you said that as I'm sure it used to be much nicer (and more affordable) back when I was in my 20s.

I use the Supermilk hair spray all the time - can't say it does anything for my hair but I love the smell and it lasts ages 😂

DSis always gets the bath bombs in her stocking (I host so I fill it) - this year she wanted the Wicked ones, it nearly bankrupted me 😂

The shop on Covent Garden was lovely when it first opened, the stuff now looks cheap and tacky and way over priced.

I couldn't sleep the first time I used it as the scent was so over powering 🤣

Really disappointed how much it has changed! My husband got me a legendary expensive gift box for Xmas. It arrived damaged and some products inside were damaged- a soap was totally mushed up! Emailed to complain.. no reply and it’s been three weeks. We chased and still no reply! Went in to store and were told they can’t help! It has to be done online but the online bounce back email says this isn’t true!!

Also when you go in store you get pounced on by creepy high pitched sales assistance trying to see you stuff! I was accosted THREE times by different people despite telling them I was here with my DH complaining!

my DH actually makes his own natural soap but we wanted to order this to compare and we are shocked you can’t contact anyone!!!

Polkadot - have you tried contacting them via Facebook or X?. Complaining about something a bit more publically often brings a response.

They don’t use social media anymore apparently which is really convenient!!

I used to buy things for dd in there.
I don’t any more.
I agree it’s overpriced and you get pounced on by the staff.

terrifiedchicken · 17/01/2025 12:18

I buy from them once a year. A big bathbomb set for dd from the Xmas sales. Other than nothing.

I never buy anything from Lush anymore, used to love it but their prices went crazy.

Still occasionally get presents bought for me but I'm quite happy to live without it.

I love their bath bombs, no others have compared. I stock up in the Boxing Day sale, I wouldn't pay full price.
