Lush discussion

Re: Lush

I'm a little upset. I have never tried Lush but I just recently found a store. I went in on Monday but it was SO crowded I couldn't get near anything. So I went back Saturday and their sale had just started. There was NO one else in there and the girl said that all the Holiday stuff was buy one get two free. As someone who has wanted to try Lush forever, I was really excited. At first...

All I could really tell that were holiday stuff was the Snow Fairy and the wrapped gifts. So I asked her what else was in the sale. She totally blew me off. So I was looking around and finally just asked again, she still didn't come over and show me what was in the sale. So, my friend I was with was like "Just get three of the Snow Fairy's." Since it would have been $20 three of the big ones. But we hadn't hit MAC yet and I knew I was going to spend money there LOL. So... We left. And we didn't come back.

If the stupid girl had helped me I would have bought quiet a bit there. I went online and ended up getting a few things and spent half the money on shipping LOL. BUT, at least it was clear what I could get! The sale's girl totally didn't tell me the soap was on sale, too! I have been DYING to try Rock Star, Demons in the Dark and Honey I Washed The Kids. SO, I bought Rock Star and got the other two for free. I also bought one Fairy Tail (I've been searching for a sugar scrub and this one was cheap) got one free and a Double Luck... Something or other for free. Ended up with six items for $20 shipped, which, yes, is a better deal then JUST the Snow Fairy (which was sold out online

).

But I would have probably walked out with more if the sales girl had been more helpful

. I wanted a massage bar but didn't see any other then in gifts on the site that were left... BUT! I will be getting my first Lush items in... Probably a month and a half LOL. But its cool. It was half the price and I know they're all home made so it'll be worth the wait.

BTW, I would have gone back but the mall is a hour away

Re: Lush

I think I missed the LUSH craze. To me it all just smells...overwhelming. I can't even walk into a store without getting a headache.

For the last 4 years I have received a holiday gift set from my step mother for Christmas as part of my gift. For 4 years all I have done with it is put it in the bottom of my closet still wrapped! This year I got the Jolly Holly Days set and I fear it is destined for the same place. I feel bad telling her now seeing as I have let it go on for 4 years. Guess I should have told her not to buy me anymore after the first year! Oh well...

Re: Lush

I cannot stress enough...use their CoalFace!

I was a farm girl and once got kicked in the face by a horse while shoeing. I have red, deep, long scars on my face, as well as pretty bad acne.

I used CoalFace twice a day for two weeks, and my scars have actually faded so well they're pink and flat, instead of red and raised.
My acne is utterly gone.

It's not meant to fade scars, but it did!
I'm so in love with this product I bought 2 kilo of it to store away.

I recommend this for everyone!

Re: Lush

^ thats amazing! Lush really does have some miraculous products.

I use coalface too, but on my body. I'm a very nervous/shy/socially awkward person, and have a nervous habit of constantly rubbing/scratching around my collarbone/neck and shoulders. Due to this i have some acne there. I use coal face on my body, but find it leaves scratches on my sensitive skin (especially around my boobage). I've started to use La boheme (which is supposed to be a detoxifying soap that smells like lemon) with coal face.
If la boheme works for me, im thinking of giving my bar of coal face to my bf as he has large pores on his body and is blackhead/acne prone.


I duno if ive already posted this or not, but my boyfriend is 28, and is acne prone. Nothing works for him. He finally went on proactive, and it seemed to help a lot, although not get rid of it all together. I bought the Ocean Salt scrub for myself (who has next to no acne on my face, but a few blackheads and dry skin on my nose). I was so impressed with its ability to get rid of my blackheads, that i gave ray a healthy sample of it. He used it sparingly for a week, and noticed a huge improvment in his skin. He stopped using the proactive and now uses the Ocean Salt scrub only. I must say, he has far fewer blackheads, few pimples and breakouts. And his skin doesnt look so dry (proactive is very drying). He loves this stuff. And its hard for him to "love" any face product.

Re: LUSH!?!? Please peeps explain...

Hi!

I'm pretty sure one of the reasons why EVERYBODY on youtube is crazy about Lush is because they give them free products and/or pay them.

Second, they do have a lot of good products and more importantly, good values. They do not do any animal testing, they cut down on the packaging, they donate a lot of money to good causes, they put a lot of good things in their products. Also, they have a good sense of humour.

A lot of their products look strange because they are fresh, and don't have a lot of conservatives in them to make them stay good for twenty years. Their scents are really nice and complex, their massage bars are delicious, they have a wide variety of soaps and bathbombs and what have you - their prices aren't too bad either.

Oh, and by the way - I'm not paid by Lush

Re: LUSH!?!? Please peeps explain...

i love lush, and i dont get anything for free
i love their bath bombs and bath melts, yes it is 'just soap' but its nice soap, in the same way that mac is 'just make up'

my favorite lush stuff is:
sakura bath bomb
butterball bath bomb - good for dry skin
shimmy shimmy - massage bar with shimmer in for your arms and legs when you go out
love lettuce face mask is the best face mask i have ever tried
and a spot treatment called grease lightening is really good

Re: LUSH!?!? Please peeps explain...

Re: LUSH!?!? Please peeps explain...

Yes like everyone else said... it is just soap. But... it is wonderfully delectable and yummy smelling amazingly indulgent soap. Lush uses all natural and often vegan ingredants and natural oils and butters. All their stuff is super hydrating and honestly very nice, so if you are willing to pay a few extra bucks for the spa like treatment... it's totally worth it. If you are happy with the stuff from the drugstore and don't care too much about the extra fancy pants stuff perhaps you can skip it.

Still I love me my Lush and won't shower or take a bath without it. I just like the extra pampering at the end of my day! ... and if your on the fence they do samples of everything so you can see for yourself.

Re: LUSH!?!? Please peeps explain...

It's just a fun girly thing. They have amazing scents and make bathtime feel like a luxury. In the shower I have a ds bodywash I love, but I love LUSH bath bombs for bubblebaths when I need to just relax and smell yumminess around me

Re: LUSH!?!? Please peeps explain...

LUSH is just really fun, nice smelling soap stuff and other products. I like some of there skincare, but I by no means like all of their products, especially since I am super picky with my scents. It is fun, it is a little bit of a splurge and it is so much fun to go around the store and smell everything!

 

[Kenna23]

Re: LUSH!?!? Please peeps explain...

okay everyone new question how do i ask for samples of lush products i tried to look it up on the website but it sent me to something else, maybe my computer is just weird or i am looking the wrong place.

okay and another question if i like sweet and fruity things body wash from bath and body works such as warm vanilla sugar, irrestible apple, mango mar., and country apple, pink grapefruit. what would i like from LUSH!!!!

Re: LUSH!?!? Please peeps explain...

I would seriously suggest the "let them eat cake" lipbalm to you1

It's warm vanillary and slightly too tempting scented!

"Happy hippy" shower gel might just fit your zesty desires.

 

[Boasorte]

Re: LUSH!?!? Please peeps explain...

it's cruelty free, nice smelling soap. I went into a LUSH store like once, I'd say it was okay, the bath bombs look nice, but I don't take baths, it's just another way of pampering yourself.
I'm good with my bar soap

And I think you'd have to go in the store and ask for a sample

 

[syerr101]

Re: LUSH!?!? Please peeps explain...

lush is a bath place with all kinds of different stuff like soaps, bath melts, bath bombs, body butters, face products, etc. it's best if you can get to a store and smell everything before you buy it because they have fruity smells and relaxing smells so it's your preference of what scents you like. What i love from lush is their body butters and jellies. but there's one drawback MOST OF THEIR PRODUCTS EXPIRE WITHIN A YEAR just keep that in mind

Re: LUSH!?!? Please peeps explain...

I'm not sure about online, but they always give me samples whenever I buy something. I love the soft coeur massage bar. The comforter is nice too.

Re: LUSH!?!? Please peeps explain...

ilove that they are 100% cruelty free! They don't even use palm oil. If you ask why this is important it's because most beauty companies use palm oil in their soaps. In order to get all the oil, they burn down large parts of the rainforest to plant Palm Crops. This means that the already endangered habitat is dissapearing faster, along with all the wonderful animals inside. That's right, beauitful Orangutans are burning to death for soap. Sick, isnt it?
Anyway, this year Lush went palm free! They've come up with a recipe and are giving it away to anyone who want its! Even the competition! Now that is a company with great ethics!

now, off the soap box (no pun intended). A lot of their products are vegan friendly (woot!) and they offer a nice alternative to the usual chemical injected beauty world. I like the soaps (face and body), the scrubs and the bath bombs/melt/bubble bars.

Here are some things to check out;
Ocean Salt scrub; my bf went off proactive when he used this because it worked loads better for clearing up his acne. Smells like margaritas. Cleans out black heads like no ones buisness!

La boheme body soap: I have body acne (due to a nervous habit of constantly touching my shoulders/chest). This soap smells like lemon, and it was suggested to me because its supposed to help detox the skin, which it has!! Woott!

Honey i shrunk the kids soap: its just smells sweet and lovely. A staple.
Karma: this smells like oranges and lovliness! Really wakes me up in the shower!

Cinders bath bomb: if you can still get your mits on this one try it out. Smells like cider and fireplace! i bought about 20 of these over xmas. SO nice.
butterball( smells of vanilla), honey bee (honey and toffee scented), vanilla fountain, ma bar (honey toffee and chocolate scented), frosty gritter (vanillia, withpink glitter!!!) sunny side (citrus with gold glitter!!!) candy cane, gnome name (spicey smell, it was hoilday)
