The hype over LUSH???

[t1nkerbell]

Lush's bath stuff is fun and decent. Its expensive though, so unless you got lots of cash to spend on stuff you'll only get a couple uses out of, i'd say skip it. And their hair and skin care products i'd skip completely.

They entice consumers with their big marketing scheme of no preservatives but they still use tons of fragrence and coloring dyes. so even if those are natural they have no benefits for your skin. its just the brand name you're paying for.

I've never tried the products. But, there is a LUSH store in my mall and when I walk by it my eyes water because the scent is so strong. My brother's girlfriend loves the products though. I just can't get myself to try them because of the strong perfume smell.

I love Lush, but I think they are expensive. I had a $20 gift card, and got 2 bubble bars. I wish I could have gotten more for my buck but oh well. The soaps and Bubble bars smell amazing!!!!

I got a few samples of soap through an MUA swap (small pieces, most about 1.25" x 0.75" x 0.25", a slightly bigger one of Sandstone--2" x 0.75" x 0.50") which smelled very nice, but I felt like I wouldn't really want to pay that much just for a big scented soap. It seems really pricey for what it is.

I just don't get the hype at all. THere isn't one product that has ever made me go- WOW!!!

They are all just okay, well- less than okay because I don't think they are worth the price.

 

[kayley123]

Soaps I tried--Christmas Cake, Angel's Delight, Snow Cake, Sandstone

I also got a sample of White Wash, which didn't smell that great...and even if it did I don't want to put something heavily scented/perfumed on my face. I'd prefer it to be unscented. And the shower jelly samples (Strawberry Santa, Snow Showers, Freeze?--not sure about the last one) I got also smelled good, but I wasn't impressed -- especially not at that price!

Maybe the bath bombs and other products are better, though...

What stuff have others tried?

I honestly think their price is that high because they know some ppl are willing to pay mucho for it! But not me chica

I love lush ,, its not that expensive considering what they put in the product,

the shampoo bars are a bang for your buck. They last a long time

I used to use it, but now that i've got kids who can't handle the added perfumes I can't. They had some really yummy body butters.

I go through phases with LUSH. I stocked up like mad during their after xmas sale and now I don't want to use any of the soaps, bombs at all. For me, I think LUSH is more of a fall/winter thing since some products tend to be quite moisturizing. I don't like having that feeling on my skin on a humid summer day.

I have been wanting to try their bath bombs for the longest! I might get some for my B day.

I use their skincare products and I really like them. I break out much less now, have clearer skin and I think it's cause of the natural products that I'm putting on my face rather than all the chemicals.

I've only tried one of their bubble bars and I loved it. It created A LOT of bubbles and smelt really nice. I can't remember the name of it. I think it was just around for Christmas but it smells and looks very similar to The Comforter.

I'm not really a big fan of their soaps. I've only tried about three of them and didn't find them good enough to repurchase.

My favourite product by Lush would definitely have to be the Buffy Body Butter (use it to exfoliate in the shower). It makes my skin so nice and soft and smooth. The only downside is that it seems to run out very quickly. Maybe it's just me cause I never hear anyone else complaining. Maybe I use it more than I need to "/ lol

I rarely go into a lush store because first of all the smell is nauseating because it´s so many smells mixed together! I have only tried a few bath bombs cause I received them as gifts. They were cool, but I would never spend $ on something I can create a fizzy bath with (unless it´s for a special occasion like Valentine´s Day or something)

The shampoo bars seem impractical to me. And I don´t like bar soaps. And organic (whether or not it´s 100% organic, I don´t care) skincare doesn´t interest me, as I don´t have sensitive skin and am not afraid to put chemicals on my skin lol. A few of my friends really like Lush skincare products, especially the anti-acne stuff. They all have sensitive skin though.

So overall, IMO Lush is overpriced and sells some very gimmicky products. Not that I haven´t bought useless products before, but this is just a bit too much. Oh and I also don´t like the fact that some products expire before you can use them up, at least that´s what I hear.

I have never tried any of the products but have always been really tempted. A couple of things are holding me back tho, one being the rude SA's and I can't spend a lot of time in there without my bf getting a headache and wanting to leave. Otherwise I read all the great reviews but never have bought a thing, I want to try the Mask of Magnaminty. I heard its good.

 

[Chococatluva]

It's worth a try, when I am out of town and I have money (because I don't have a Lush in my city) I usually get some. Don't buy online, soaps anyway, very expensive and you get a teensy tiny amount. If you want to try it I think Honey I Washed the Kids is the best soap, and Tramp is the best body wash/shower gel.

 

[KeLLsTar]

I've known of the store for a long time but have never been inside - I can't stand the smell at the door. Way too strong for me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It's a shame as some of their products look quite nice.

I like to participate in round robin lush swaps.  Each person buys 25 dollars worth of dividable lush products they like and sends you 1/2 of what they buy. You keep your half of favorites and get to receive a surprise half.

I find it too expensive to buy all of the time and i like to sample the products in smaller quantities so i know what to buy and what to stay away from.

I don't like the glitter bath bombs, the glitter stays on you!

 

[magosienne]

I noticed that too, all bath bombs are a pain in my opinion. They're great, but you need to clean the bathtub after your bath. I do it anyway but you really feel the need when you see a distinctive line of color on the tub. For that matter i prefer the foamy bath melts.

I have tried a few items, and my sister went into the store with me, and had a headache upon leaving.  I was disappointed when I ordered online because of the price.  I went to the nearest store, and I was able to make a more realistic purchase.  Unfortunately, the nearest store is 5 hours away.  I am still using the shampoo bar that I purchased a long time ago.  I got a body soap sample, and I finally used it up.  So I would say this is a product that I could actually live without.
