Lush Handmade Cosemetics

My review of Lush comes in a lot of parts. My fiancé’ brought me here because she absolutely loves everything they have. If you’re looking for a gift for anyone who loves bath products, go to Lush and skip everything else. You don’t need a know a thing when you walk in, there are always lots of workers there who are delighted to help. I’ve managed to come to this place for 12 different gift occasions, and I’ve never bought the same thing twice.
All of the bath bombs, shower gels, and lotions all top out with the most expensive being around $ 12. For how long the products last and the giddy smile I see every time I gift one, it’s definitely worth the money. As a happy customer myself, I have to endorse the soaps available at Lush. They are absolutely fantastic.
Only problem is, this place is tiny. Beware the crowd any day around a holiday or busy weekend. It gets super busy. Otherwise, happy shopping!

Everyone here is SO nice, friendly and helpful. Nora is a gem and my Daughter and I try to talk with her everytime we come in. She has given us suggestions for neat bath mixes like a bath melt with a bath bomb etc. it’s always a pleasant experience.

My very first visit to Lush was today, the very best store experience ever!!! store associates Jennifer, and Brittany ROCK! they are sooo patient they explained all the products, the Bath Bombs are the best. will not be disappointed.

I really like this place. I liked it in Macy’s but the new storefront is fantastic and makes you feel less awkward and pressured going in.
I like their cosmetics — natural and cruelty free — they smell delicious and make my skin feel good. However, they’ve also given my sensitive skin a run for its money because some items are loaded with fragrance.
I don’t particularly care for the bath bars (seems like they leave a residue). I love the bath bombs, moisturizers and masks though. The body bars are heavenly too.
The employees are über helpful and knowledgable. They know how to up sell and they can smell blood in the water. Lol. Works on me every time. I’m always impressed that they can tell one bath bomb from the others without a label.
I wish some items were a little less costly but for the quality it’s a nice splurge. :)

I am obsessed.
I have never been more pleased with a cosmetic product than I am with everything that Lush has to offer. I have been hesitant to try it out for ages because I thought that it’s just another hippie joint selling me expensive all-​organic stuff, which I am not a fan of. I have been using The Body Shop for everything for years now, until my recent Lush venture. EVERYTHING at Lush works wonders. Not that I have bad skin, but so far, everything that I have used exceeded my expectations, and the results can be seen right after using them. Especially if your skin gets real dry during the winter, Lush moisturizers can fix it all in one actual day.
They have all sorts of products, from head to toe, and for all skin types. A trip to the store can be overwhelming, but their associates are very friendly and are very knowledgeable about their products. You just describe to them what you need or what you are looking for, and they’ll know exactly what to give you. Their products are expensive, but worth every penny! Lush, shut up and take all my money!!!
P. S. Don’t forget to ask for samples during check out!

I’ve recently been searching for more natural solutions to dry, irritable skin for both myself and my boyfriend and happened to stumble upon this store. What caught my eye immediately was the packaging and options of samples displayed on shelves and tables.
My senses where on high alert, it smelled delicious, refreshing, and clean! I was approached by an associate who was more than happy to help out someone who wasn’t familiar with a good skin or beauty regiment. (I am not one who wears makeup everyday, I stick to some basic face lotion and am an avid fan of Bath and Body Works before I visited this store.) She was exceptionally friendly, very knowledgable about what she was promoting and recommended products that were for my needs and even let me try and take home a few samples.
I ended up purchasing the Dream Cream which was around $ 23-​$ 25 since I was skeptical about unloading more $$ on product I wasn’t sure of. That next morning I tried the lotion and to my surprised it kept my skin moisturized the entire day!
The following day I brought my boyfriend and purchased some of the Fairly Traded Honey Shampoo, and the Dream Wash. While the lotion was just a test the real deal would be the shampoo and body wash. The shampoo felt ‘weird’ when I was using it (I had been so used to Tresemmé that using anything but felt odd). «No conditioner needed», that’s what the girl selling the product told me. I didn’t believe her since my hair is extremely thick but to my surprise it didn’t need it once I was out of the shower and my hair was dry. It smelt great, had a luscious shine and was not oily the next morning!!! The products worked!!!
The staff is beyond friendly, they are extremely knowledgable about what they are selling and who they are selling it to. The layout of the store is refreshing and the products work wonders without all the additional chemicals. The products are on the pricey side of the dollar but it is money well spent. I haven’t found a bottle of shampoo or brand of lotion that delivers the results my picky skin uses. I will be a returning customer! And if you are uncomfortable about shelling out 20 – 30 $ ask to try a sample to take home!

I love. Lush. Love. Love. Love. Almost to my detriment, because I find one product for my bath, and want to try one for my face, and then that goes well, so maybe some shampoo… Needless to say, I visit often.
This location has now moved to its own store inside the mall, just a few doors down from Sephora right next to Macy’s. The sales staff is wonderful! They all seem to truly enjoy working at Lush, and they are very knowledgable about their products.
My best experience was when I went in looking at some of their skincare items. They were thorough in checking out my skin and finding something that would really work for me. 5 weeks later and my esthetician is raving about how great my skin looks.
Their bath bombs and bubble bars are a great starter to get to know Lush and its products, but their shower gels and moisturizers are incredible. While they’re a little pricier than drug store brands, they last a very long time and a little goes a long way. Go in and say hello, get some samples and check them out!

This little shop was previously located inside of Macy’s. Now they have their own location and are just as busy, even with a bigger space. My wife absolutely loves this place. I guess that means I have to love it, too, right? ;-)
I don’t get into all of their products. I don’t use them, merely go shopping with my wife and help her pick out the bath bombs, etc. But what impresses me about this place is the staff. They are always so quick to help and have a lot of knowledge about what they sell. They take their time with every customer and have never pushed a sale on us. They seem confident in their product which is a good thing.
The only reason I can’t give this a stellar review is that the things are priced so dang high, in my opinion. A one time use bath room is around $ 6-​$ 8, which ain’t so cheap to use something just once.

I had heard of Lush from a friend and decided I needed to see what it was all about. I had seen the store before but to be honest stayed away because I didn’t know what was what. I was immediately greeted by a salesgirl who immediately took my hand and insisted I try something. The staff was very knowledgeable about the products, recommended their favorites and seemed to be enjoying what they do. I ended up buying the Avobath bomb just to start (loved it!) and received samples of the Happy Hippy Shower gel, Big Shampoo, and American Cream conditioner. If you go expect to have some sort of product on you haha! Then you really can see that these products while they maybe are not visually appealing, smell awesome and provide boundless benefits without chemicals!

Lush is one of a few places I’ll admit that the mall is good for.
Looking for a nice and effective deodorant without aluminum? Lush is your spot. To give you an idea of how long their stuff lasts I bought one of their T’eo bars of crumbling freshness last August and I’ve still got about half of it left. I used it on top of an Alba product since the bar is kinda dry it was tough to apply it without applying the Alba deodorant first. Regardless, I wasn’t that satisfied with it because it’s not quite strong enough in the summer months for me and it’s kinda messy to apply after the bar invariably disintegrates into crumbles. Trying to pat down white powder on my armpits sometimes results in getting it on my clothes or all over my bathroom floor. Lets just say that if you walked in before I cleaned the white powder off my floor you might wonder if someone with a drug problem resided there…
Anyway, with the heat index in the 80’s and 90’s lately I knew I needed some stronger deodorant and since none of their products contain aluminium I knew there must be something else up my alley at Lush. Yep, the lovely sales ladies steered me in the right direction towards the Aromaco bar and a bottled powder. It’s been a few weeks and so far, so good!
After a tour of the entire store complete with demos and multiples product samples to stuff my bag, I almost feel like I’m armed with enough product info so that I could go in and work at Lush. Their employees are incredibly friendly, knowledgable and inquisitive. They’ll look up any ingredient info for you and encourage you to try as many products in the store as possible to make an informed decision. Of course, much of that is probably to upsell but that’s to be expected. Go in knowing your limits and the nice thing is when you say no, you might just get free samples to take home!
As far as their «natural» element goes, most of their products are MOSTLY natural. Yeah, you’ll find ingredients like tea tree oil listed near the top but you might also find parabens and sulfates in their too. Their explanation is that while many other «natural» products are advertising as paraben and sulfate free, they’re using other chemicals that just haven’t even been tested yet. Their talking point is that Lush believes that these things work effectively, aren’t harmful in the small amounts that they use and at least are understood while newer chemicals aren’t. So, heads up if you are expecting a full line of completely all natural stuff, that’s not the case here.

Best cosmetics for hair and body — handmade, very effective, and many products are vegan. (You’ll find them INSIDE of Macy’s at Oxmoor Mall). None of the products are animal tested and are environmentally conscious.
I purchased the Karma Cream body and hand lotion which is a miracle worker! The scent really is a head turner and while it’s a heavy feeling at first, it absorbs within a half hour.
The Big Shampoo is — well I’ve never used anything like it. I would never expect it to work, given the consistency but it left my hair so full, soft, light, and no need to wash again for 48 hours.
Veganaise conditioner for hair gets the same glowing review as the shampoo above and I love the charcoal products for face scrubbing.
Staff is very friendly and fully expect you to be dubious, curious, and in need of help. They perform demos on you, provide samples for trying, but can be a bit pushy at times.
Products. Are. Not. Cheap. Now, they’re worth every penny but they work out of the department store for a reason. The tub of lotion I mentioned is around $ 32. That said, I’ve hardly made a dent in it because it’s so effective.
One more word for the wise — these products are raw and natural so they have expiration dates. Watch for these when purchasing or you might buy something that’s not recommended for use in a week.
