My first time at Lush

Posted on | February 8, 2010 |

Lush-productsThis weekend I went to Lush Covent Garden. I already knew that I was about to find a new kind of cosmetic made from fresh organic fruit and vegetables … Here are some of the other things I discovered:
1. A really pleasant atmosphere and the feeling of being away from the stresses and strains of the world;
2. Many friendly people to help you choose the best product for you (even if they were slightly too obliging sometimes);
3. A great range of products from shower smoothies to body dusting powders and bubble bath bars;
4. The opportunity to test all the products, making it a fun and rather sensual experience too. ;-)

At one point, one of the employees asked everyone to come say goodbye to one of his colleagues who was going to work in another Lush branch.
I really thought he was about to choose one of us (me!) and announce something like “you’re the winner of the day; we’re offering you a lip balm, the product of your choice” … so I was a bit disappointed. Wouldn’t it have been a lovely concept?

Finally, even though it’s not the kind of products I usually go for, I thought I should give it a go and bought a softening sea salt shampoo with jasmine, mimosa and orange blossom (Seanik), a tasty honey and chocolate massage bar (Mange Too -that apparently you can eat …mmmhhh), a body lotion (Dream Cream) and a cleansing lime, coconut and sea salt face scrub (Ocean Salt)… for a total of £ 25-30 (a bit too pricey for me but I haven’t tested these gems yet…).

PS: I learned back at home that Lush is against animal testing which is a fairly good thing!

PS bis: This is not a sponsored blog post and I will always tell you when it’s the case.

And you? Have you ever been to Lush? Have you ever tried their products? Which are your favourites?

    Salut Julie!
    Nous avons papoté lors de l’Apéro-Blog me semble-t-il :)
    J’ai aimé Lush un temps mais je m’en suis un peu lassée. J’en garde le souvenir d’une marque inventive et sympathique toutefois!

    the one and only product to buy at Lush is Buffy. It looks like a soap but is an exfoliating scrub full of cocoa and shea butters. FANTASTIC! Next time buy this one ;)

    Hello,

    Oui oui je me rappelle très bien :) Je ne sais pas si je rachèterai souvent Lush mais c’était une expérience shopping intéressante…Un peu comme aller chez Abercrombie & Fitch ;-) A bientôt!
    (Je serai du 3ème Apéro-blog normalement)
