Who buys these for a tenner or fiver for a single bath?! They are not even full of good ingredients and are loaded with artifical stuff. Will give you thrush and leave the bath in a mess with all those artificial colours!

I remember seeing Louise Pentland putting the massive bath bomb she got in PR in her bath last December, Zoe obviously did the same.
I remember thinking their vajayjay must have been crying ?

I passed a Lush last christmas and was savagely beckoned in by those really insane staff that won't let a person be. It was hilarious. Picture a quiet, dark, rainy late night shopping on a Thursday, I was passing coming from the Winter Wonderland and clearly their sales were down as they were in high pitch sales zone. So I got dragged in and I'm really introvert irl so for me this was my biggest nightmare, but the devil in me thought fine, if you want to try to sell me your crap, you really did pick the wrong person!
So when she had finished fanning her hands around asking me to reveal my favourite scents and desires in a mind boggling array of melts, bombs, goodness knows what else she rattled off it was a long list, I finished my hot chestnuts and asked her to list the chemicals in said products. She looked startled and said 'oh no, they are all natural..'. I replied Ho! so that BRIGHT BLUE bathbomb is... all natural? I decided to let her off, and told her my only desire was to get home quickly, run a nice hot bath, and add a nice heaping cup of Magnesium Flakes, which is one of the very few things you should ever soak your body in, if you care about your health of course.
She was a super nice person, but I told her next time I'm walking past the shop and pause to use the lighting to see which chestnut to eat next, don't drag me in lmao
Lush stuff is absolute shite. Soaking yourself in hot water opens your pores and whatever you soak in enters your body and it's your organs that have to deal with that crap. You should never add dyes and perfumes (unless essential oils) glitter and all the crap that's in Lush etc. They add a couple of natural ingredients then claim them all natural. It's crazy. The girl I spoke to was clueless, she thought bathing in bath bombs was incredibly good for you, talk about blinkered training.
You can make your own bathbombs with all natural ingredients at home, at a fraction of the cost and your health intact =)
I'd be interested to know the % profit on these (is it fair to call them ugly? I think they're hideous looking, not cute at all!) The markup must be massive, this is Lush reaching, as their hard sales with youtubers pays off and the younger market are obsessed with them. It's a bloody bath bomb that gets poured down a drain! Def not worth 10 pounds or even 5. I reckon they'd make a tidy profit if they were super cheap. I can get 5 x 1kg bags of Magnesium Salts for a tenner that would make me endless baths! Plus the salts make my skin super soft =)
I was given a couple of lush bathbombs years ago and honestly, they were gross! One was green and one was blue, and in those days I wasn't clued up so I used them and I've never hated the look of my bath more haha. I felt like a big monster was going to lunge up from the depths haha I had to shower off afterwards to get rid of the stuff and clean the bath which had turned into a slimy oily hell hole.
I know the massive one you talk of, the youtubers received them and they were so big they would def cause irritation. Didn't alfie once get in a bath with 100 bathbombs & the scent over powered him or something haha. Brains of britain.
I think ages ago I saw Louise or something toss hers into bowls to show them, and I thought smart girl lol Even though the comments hated it and said it was wasteful.

So true. Btw I love your profile pic I wanna wave back! haha
I tried to make all natural bath bombs once and it was not easy as there's very little we can use if we want to be healthy. If someone tries it, they will understand how much crap is in Lush, the colours, the foaming, the scents, just everything.
Does anyone remember years ago it was the trend to buy those pearl things with oil in They could be any shape, and colour, and you'd put them in the bath and end up with an oily bath and a bit of rubber. haha. I remember buying tubes of those things
Some companies totally take the mick using the word Organic. Holland & Barratts sell a range called Dr Organics. Someone working there told me to avoid it as it's full of chemical crap, including some known to cause cancer. Disgrace they're allowed to call themselves Dr Organics, and have teeny tiny letters listing the crap.

Yes the Dr organic brand should be illegal! It's the same as lush a drop of something organic but the same old harmful ingredients!
Someone was saying lush smells so strong because of all the essential oils, yeah right not all the artificial perfume. If you want essential oils put a few drops in your bath.
I remember those pearls - didn't know they were plastic! They kinda popped and dissolved a bit but were still there floating.
Someones got a viral video about how to save money at lush, it's just cutting products in half. No shit Sherlock!

I know you can use them separately, but lots of the infuencers lush pay to promote them just pop it in whole!
I just find it so expensive and so bad for your yoni! I get itchy just looking at one.

I know! It angers me when I see millionaires gifted box after giant box full of products worth a fortune, just to get the poorer people to fork out their pennies for one. Seriously, why is that a thing. If they gave those huge boxes to deserving people like a hostel or something I'd be far more interested in watching their delighted responses, than zoe sitting on her arse in her black and white mansion floor, struggling to name any of them correctly and wondering why they are gooey to the touch.
But then a part of me thinks, they don't know what's in them and use them daily hehehe Sometimes being poorer is a blessing haha!
I have a friend who made it super rich and in my 20's I was envious of all the treatments she could get, but for me that manifested in feeling sad I couldn't take care of myself as good. And I remember really wanting it all. Now we are older and she looks like crap. You wouldn't know she's spent thousands on her face and body over the years and looks around 15 years older if not more. She's always calling me out for not aging and I honestly can't believe it as I thought it would be the opposite! I'm so glad now. Just stick to water to drink, water in your bath water with some magnesium flakes, walk everywhere and eat fresh fruits and veggies and keep everything simple and chemical free and somehow you end up looking really young with very little effort or expense! Hehe

These days I've really minimised my products, I don't have many but they are all good quality. I stopped buying the body shop stuff when she sold it on, but at least she did do alot for charity.Lush is so expensive. I do buy from TheBodyShop (even though they used so many annoying YTbers) even though it's still artificial

Thanks for the link.I agree about the ingredients, with all their carping on you would expect them to be SLS free, paraben free etc.
I live near Poole/Bournemouth and when I was younger my Dad was a haulier from a site next door to their factory. He said the stench coming from it was overpowering, much like their shops.
I strongly recommend having a read of the blog I linked to a few posts back - the posts tagged "The Smell of Bullshit".
Lush have been very smart with their marketing by not using traditional adverts and using infuencers. They've managed to make people think it's a natural brand even though it's full of nasty Ingredients. Just adding a few drops of something natural doesn't make the whole thing natural. Niomi smart didn't get away with that.
They're a real love them or hate them brand and so many people love them.

I've fallen into a lush black hole on YouTube, and the amount of people that go on about lush being a "nautral, organic, healthy" range is stupid. It's some products that are plastic free and like just about everything on sale in the UK it hasn't been tested on animals. It's not natural at all and contains harmful ingredients.
