Official Lush Thread!

I have a question for you Lushies.... so... on the US website you can't order the fresh masks, the person at Lush told me it's bc they have to be refrigerated and by the time they arrive to you they would probably spoil. Are the masks from UK different? Because they do let you order it! ... 

Obviously if they would be spoiled by the time they get to  me, it's so silly to order them, but if they are different then that would be cool

Does the UK store have the Boxing Day sale, too? That would be great for a haul.

My current obsession is the Rose Jam shower gel. I have 2 large bottles and 1 small. Rationing it out now.

I think the UK sale is much better.  I ended up buying three things on the UK sale, and with 50% off it ended up being the price of one of my items if I had bought it on the US site.  Also, when I placed my order they were out of only one or two items, where as I couldn't access the US site at all because so many people were overloading the server. 

BUT the shipping did take 13 days, but I guess the cheap shipping for the US site apparently takes just as long.

I agree, I liked the UK sale better, and the shipping seemed to take about the same amount of time as my US one did.

They aren't different, so they would probably arrive to the states spoiled. It seems like mail service is quicker in the UK perhaps. I would definitely suggest going into a shop to get them if you can. I bought one while in Sacramento but didn't bring it home because it wouldn't have made it in my suitcase for a 12 hour flight.

The shipping is really quick from the UK to NY so I would always choose ordering from their site over the NA site.

I agree that the Lush UK sale was waaaay better! Instead of only Christmas items they had some things from their regular line as well. I managed to get a ton of big shampoo, rehab and veganese conditioner. I would never pay for these products at full price without first trying them. Now I'm in love with them and I'm glad I got them for a quarter of the price compared to the US site.

Whaaaat!! I'm just learning about this now! Lol! Veganese is so expensive so I try not to use it a lot. How much did the big bottle come out to?

Caved and ordered some V-day products from the UK site. Can't wait!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />)

So I got my replacement item for the item that was missing in my last order from Lush UK (I requested a Popcorn lip scrub as a replacement, they sent me two!) and I got a little sample of Let the Good Times Roll cleanser...and I'm in love! It smells so good and my skin feels amazing! I need to use up my cleanser stash FAST so I can feel justified in buying some!

I officially love LUSH UK! They ran out of three different products that I bought during the sale, and not only replaced them with equal value items, they also doubled my entire order for inconvenience! How cool is that?

Now I have more Miranda soap than I know what to do with, lol XD (I said Noriko at first, then realized that it's Miranda)

I've never ordered from Lush online, only bought it in-store.  So, can someone tell me if it is cheaper to order from the UK site?  Because when I was in London last year for a few days, I noticed the Lush products were significantly cheaper than they are over here, even with the price conversion.  Everything was at least $5-$10 USD cheaper over there.  Is this still the case, and does it hold true for the website?

For most items, yes. It can be significantly cheaper...the trade off is the shipping time. But if you're not in a hurry, ordering from the UK is the way to go.

Thanks for the advice!  I was seriously just wandering around the store in shock at the "cheaper" prices.  I don't care about shipping time so this could be my new vice...haha.

I bought let the good times roll a few months ago due to all the rave reviews but I didn't really care for it. It left my face kind of dry. My skin is weird, everyone loves it but me.

So the other day a few friends and I did a mini road trip to the nearest Lush store...and omg did we ever bring home hauls. 

I got the mango bath melt, cherry (now discontinued) bath melt, strawberry feels forever massage bar (since mange too is retired...sad face), American Cream conditioner, a sample of the Curly Wurly shampoo, Catastrophe Cosmetic face mask, and the green foot-shaped scrub/fizz.   I've still got the purple comforter bubble bar and a mange too massage bar from my Christmas presents...so I'm a happy camper for a little while /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Although, I think next time I need my conditioner I'm going to buy it from the UK online store.  SUCH a cheaper option!  I made a shopping cart on the US store and it came to about $70, and I made the same cart on the UK store and it was only $53 after the price conversion.  As long as shipping isn't more expensive I'll definitely go this route.

So....just got back from my trip to Vegas and the HIGHLIGHT of the trip was my stop at the LUSH store in Mandalay Bay. It was my first time to an actual Lush store and I was so excited to be able to smell all the items I was unsure of buying from the site,

I got:

-Fresh Farmacy face wash- OMG where has this been all my life? I would have never guessed this one would work for me!!

-Celestial Moisturizer- another GREAT find I would not have chosen

-French Kiss bath bomb- YUM I was skeptical of this one from the site as I wasn't sure if I'd like the scent, but I love it.

-Avo bath and grass bomb- yum this is for my boyfriend and I'll use these two together to make him up a LUSHcious smelling bath after our trip

-Fun in pink and blue- I got these for my niece as I had gotten a gold fun for Xmas and gave it to her and she loved it. Special request from a 5 year old lushie /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

-Sex bomb- the US site was out of these when I ordered my last haul so I picked an extra up in store I LOVE this scent.

-I got a sample of a few things for my sister as I'm in the process of converting her into a lushie so let's hope she loves them!!

All in all my first in store experience was awesome. Now I will definitely be making the 2 hour trip to visit my lush closest to me as I NEED a fresh face mask treatment!!!!

I hit LUSH today. This is only my second trip and picked up a few things y'all recommended.

Floating Island

Yellow Fun  

Silky Underwear Dusting Powder

Close to You

MMM Melting Marshmallow Moment

Sex Bomb

Karma Komba - this is to try out. Thought it would be great for travel.   I also got samples of Lovely Jubblies and Skin Drink.

I bought some for the first time a bit ago and I'm loving it, too! I also got Vanilla Puff (which is nice and smells amazing...but I really love the cocoa butter in Silky Underwear). It is definitely on my must repurchase list. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[msambrosia]

Thank you ladies so much! I would have never considered ordering from the UK site. I am running low on Big Shampoo and was dreading repurchase, but it's substantially cheaper on the UK site. I saved about $25 on my order! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
