Lush Cosmetics

Does anyone here know if you can take things back to lush if they break you out? I know a few places will let you exchange if that happens, but do lush?

Snow Fairy is such a lovely scent, but I know a couple of people who are adverse to it and absolutely can’t stand the smell of it, both liken it to smelling like leaked gas or petrol.

I really like the Sleepy Cream as well. It works better than some sleeping tablets! I really rate it. It’s brilliant for period cramps too.

The Ocean salt scrub, although I’m not entirely sure it should be used on the face, is amazing on break outs/acne.

Not keen on the soaps and bath bombs though. They make my hoo har itch. Plus £10 is a bit of a price to pay for a bout of thrush. Wasn’t fond of the Shampoo bars either - very drying and made my hair feel like it had a rubbery coating on it, no matter how much I rinsed. Probably not compatible with my hair type as I’ve known others to rave about them.

Ahh never seen a lush thread on here before! When I first moved to Poole many moons ago first thing I did was get a job at THE lush shop . Too expensive for me now, but do buy my son some bath goodies at Christmas. Any old forumites on here?

I'm a huge fan of their soap and massage bars. I bought the Wiccy magic one for my brother who has muscular pain which did help.

Haven't tried any of their make up.

I really like the lip scrubs and lip balms- I'm currently working on a Galaxy lip scrub, and an older chocolate flavoured lip balm (can't remember the name off the top of my head and also have just got comfy on the sofa and am lazy).

I always find my lips feel softer when I've been using them consistently, but I'm dreadful for using them for a week or two and then forgetting, resulting in my lips getting all chapped again!

Would definitely recommend though!

I really enjoy the bubble bars and bath bombs- my fave was always the Big Blue bathbomb.

I didn't really rate the toothpaste tablet things- I've tried them multiple times but I just can't get used to them.

This thread has inspired me to go to Lush tomorrow.

Fury as Lush displays 'boycott Israel' sign in shop window

**In Ireland.
it won’t let me link to the dm article

Looks like it's one store (Dublin) and it seems (though can't confirm) they were ordered to take it down.

I was in there too-wasn’t there something about a mum of twins and legal money she got from him?

I do remember a poster called twinmum! I also remember a ton about her backstory (how my brain retains so much useless shit I’ll never know). I don’t recall anything about money though. Do you mean she sued him or he gave her money for a legal battle she had with someone else?

Yes! Did you buy Yog Nog this year? It was basically glittery water! It’s so disappointing when they used to be so thick and long lasting.

I bought some things in the Boxing Day sale and I will always love their body sprays (which seem like the most cost-effective products out of everything) but I can’t justify buying anything else. The prices keep going up whilst the quality is going down

Yes! I bought a bottle and got a bottle as part of a gift and I was shocked! Same for sticky dates I feel like I’m being played Higher price, lower quality product.

Saw on tik tok a £150 floating speaker for the bath with lights they are apparently selling. Just doesnt seem to fit the brand.

oh good lord. just what everyone needs.

I’m so sure they’ve changed the scent too. I sniffed a bottle in the shop at Christmas and actually recoiled back I’m sure it used to smell much nicer.

Yes I thought it didn't smell as nice.

I currently have joints and Wiccy Magic on the go! Love it

My latest thing is the Celebrate massage bar. I am using it instead of lotion, hoping it lasts longer.

It’s really bad isn’t it! I don’t understand how they quality controlled and approved the consistency, it’s just so liquidy. I thought I must’ve gotten a dodgy batch, but I saw other people had left reviews saying the same thing. Lush has always been an expensive treat, but I could justify it because of the quality.

I hope Lush doesn’t go the way as The Body Shop, they still seem popular but people will stop buying if the quality gets worse

Interestingly it seems they are not as popular as you’d have thought!
