The hype over LUSH???

[coconut_cutie]

I used to use everything Lush, literally, shampoos, conditioners, cleansers, lotions etc everything. Not so much anymore because they have hiked their prices, and I've moved on to a lot of other natural and ethical brands, but I still fork out £35 every 4 months for a tub of 'Gorgeous' because it is by far the best moisturiser I have ever used. Their soaps are delicious though!

To me, I can find just as nice bath products at The Body Shop.  But if you like to indulge in bath products, you might enjoy what they have to offer. Their face moisturizers and masks are very nice, but expire quickly and are pricey, so it all depends on what you are willing to splurge on.

Overrated. There's some stuff I like (Ultrabland, and Daddy-O shampoo), but it can be bested by cheaper or more convenient to get products (Klorane Chamomile Shampoo, and Lancome Cleansing Oil, for instance).

I used to work at Lush on the weekends, and I did love their stuff - I still do to an extent, but it's way too pricey for what you get.  

When I had a 50% employee discount, I used to buy everything of theirs.  But now, their stuff is so expensive, plus I've made other changes in my life, that now I only use a few things I'm die hard over.  I don't use their hair care anymore since I do the curly girl method, and their stuff isn't very CG friendly, and are way overpriced. Their bath products - they smell fabulous but are also a fortune.  Their perfumes don't last that long - you have to layer them, and that's again a whole lot of money.  Their facial care is great, except for their moisturizers, which make me break out, no matter which one I try.  So, their only stuff I really use anymore is Angels on Bare Skin (facial scrub), Ultrabland cleanser, Eau Roma Water, and Sacred Truth mask.  Other than facial care, I use their bath powders and foot powders in the summer.

I've never tried their products. I just haven't bought into the hype. I've heard the company Skin-A-Licious has some LUSH dupes though!

I'll admit that I'm hooked on Lush!  HIWTK's is one of my favorites, as is King of Skin body butter.  I like the bath bombs but can take em or leave em.  I'll admit that I'm a sucker for their bubble bars and massage bars.  Hopefully it's just a fad /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I use to find Lush to be slightly overrated until I actually visited the stand-alone store with my ex boyfriend. It was the Lush store at the Tyson's Corner Mall in McLean, VA. You can sample a lot of the products and the sales associates do demos, etc. I am actually a fan since I have been to the store to try/smell Lush's products. The prices are also affordable and you definitely get more than what you pay for.

I agree Sarah....once you smell them in person, you're hooked!

 Same here! My sinus always act up everytime I pass the store LOL maybe I should just try buying 1 or 2 product online to avoid the strong smell.

Worth every single penny. I can only use natural products....and I would have 2 of everything if I could afford it!!
