Lush is so expensive. I do buy from TheBodyShop (even though they used so many annoying YTbers) even though it's still artificial :cry:

The shampoo bars are the only thing I buy from lush, as it lasts a long time and saves on plastic bottles

Yes, I really want to try shampoo bars, until recently the most widely available ones have been from Lush. But I think a few more are available now what with the popularity of zero waste / plastic free etc. I'd really love it if Faith in Nature would make shampoo bars - now they are a company that can boast about their ingredients, but don't do it in a militant way.

Also if anyone's interested, there is a company called Terracycle which have teamed up with Garnier to provide a beauty packaging recycling scheme. You can send (they pay postage) pretty much anything which you can't recycle via your kerbside collections e.g. Bottle tops, moisturiser pots, the pump dispensers from hand wash etc. You get points for what you send in and you can convert them to charitable donations. I've been doing it for just over a year now while I try and run down the products that I want to replace with plastic-free versions.

(They also have schemes for collecting biscuit/cake wrappers, dental packaging + toothbrushes, household cleaning packaging and various other things).

I don't work for them or anything, I'm just really in to recycling and stuff!

Lush mostly has one star reviews on Facebook. Read one that was a car mechanic and he was saying the stains from a bath bomb are harder to remove than a day's work of greasy and dirty cars!

All natural my ass.

Those slapstick coconut oil foundations look like such a mess that don't even work.

⬆ 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".

Thank you I will check that out :)

I remember even as a young girl walking past the Lush shop and the scent was overpowering. I asked the assistant how she deals with the scent day in, day out, and she said 'what scent? oh that, I am used to it! Don't even notice it anymore'. Lol Interesting about the factory. I bet it'd knock a person bandy just entering lol

I used to love the blue shampoo bar, it made my hair feel so soft, and that was one thing I found good value from Lush because it did last ages

The ginger shampoo is the only thing that works for me... so even if I don't buy the bath stuff, I will always buy the ginger shampoo... I cut down a lot, I've stopped buying lotions and stuff. saving money

Ah fair enough glad you've got something that works! I just don't like how lush and body shop pretend to be all natural and about the environment but are full of crap.

Lush maybe packaging free but what about all the transporting costs of all this stuff just to change the colour of the bath water and smell!

I'm pretty sure those are both two bath bombs in one. So really, you're getting two bath bombs for 10 pounds, not just one.

I always buy one as a stocking filler for my son. In fact I bought one the weekend the Xmas lines dropped in store, not a £10 one as that’s too expensive but people were shopping them

I used to love lush but the past 18 months I've gone right off them! They've taken away all the good products and replace them with crap gimmicks! Who wants a reusable bubble wand that doesn't even blow bubbles?
I think they also focus way to much time on there campaigns than there actual products!

I've just got back from America and brought some bathbombs from bath & body works. Now I don't know how good these are chemically ect but they definitely felt better than the lush ones in the bath, they were lighter and made my skin feel so soft!

I walk past a Lush store and my nose starts running... I have sensitive skin so the doctor advised to avoid all scented toiletries. I have to stick to odourless/sensitive deodorant sticks, natural shampoo and booooooring plain soap, and definitely no perfume :( I'd love to use something more "lovely", but I'd never use Lush. Those bath bombs look like they might be quite gritty and harsh? I haven't tried one but they do look a bit salty?

Does anyone remember years ago it was the trend to buy those pearl things with oil in :LOL: 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 :oops:

OMG I loved them when I was younger! I'm sure I had some from The Body Shop in the Ananya scent (and probably Dewberry as well!). Old school. Ah, memories!

I was surprised their shampoo isn’t sulfate free. I’m on a self-imposed straighteners ban on my hair and trying to get used to my natural curls, and a sulfate free shampoo makes it so much less frizzy, I nearly bought a shampoo bar from Lush assuming it was sulfate free

Here's a link about why Lush shampoo isn't sulfate free from their website.
https://www.lushusa.com/story?cid=article_dont-stress-sls I'm not agreeing with them.
