My first time at Lush

This weekend I went to Lush Covent Garden. I already knew that I was about to find a new kind of cosmetics made from fresh organic fruit and vegetables … Here are the other things I discovered:
1. A really nice atmosphere and the impression of being in a bubble out of the stressed world;
2. Many lovely people to help you choosing the best product for you (even they were slightly too present sometimes);
3. A great range of products from shower smoothies to body dusting powders and bath bubble bars;
4. The opportunity to test all the products, making the experience amusing and quite sensual too. 
At some point, one of the employees asked everyone to come to say goodbye to one of his colleagues who was going to work in another Lush shop.
I really thought he was about to choose one of us (me!) and announce something like “you’re the winner of the day; we offer you a lip balm, the product of your choice” … so I was a bit disappointed. Wouldn’t it be a lovely concept?
Finally, even if it’s not the kind of products I am used to, I thought I should have 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 it…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 little too expensive 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 point!
PS bis: It 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? What are your favourites?
