Lush Cosmetics

Luxury That is Truly Luscious!

If by some chance you've missed this fragrant wonderland, it can't have been that you walked by without noticing it. Because the store's dreamy aromas don't just permeate the air inside, they waft out into the street, making it hard to resist taking a peek.  

One of Lush's best-known scent-sations are Bath Bombs, their adorable products that fizz when plopped into your bath, softening and scenting the water and gentling your skin.

But that's just one favorite among Lush's luscious line of homemade bath, fragrance, hair care, massage, and skin care products made from fresh organic fruits, vegetables and essential oils.  


In 1978, Lush began creating its products in England, selling them through mail order and retail stores like The Body Shop. The company opened its signature store in London in 1994, and now has over 370 stores around the world, as well as a booming online business.

Lush's claim to fame is in handcrafting and selling "the youngest and freshest products in the history of cosmetics, because fresh products work better and use fewer preservatives." Isn't that what we all deserve in our bath and body products? That, and the fact that the prices are incredibly reasonable, makes it hard not to pick up one of everything!  

Stopping all animal testing is something the company cares passionately about. Which is why they make sure their products are safe for humans by testing only on humans. You can trust Lush labels for a complete description of what's inside.  

The most important part of the Lush experience is just that -- the experience. The knowledgeable, friendly staff will help you find just the right items while making you feel like a pampered princess sans an overbearing sales pitch.



If you have time to browse, try out the pampering products, like the chilled masks from their glorious mask buffet, or the delicious massage bars. We thought we'd died and gone to heaven when we stumbled upon the plentiful blocks of shampoo bars in some of the most amazing scents. Shampoo bars? Yes, please!  




Be sure to check the Lush website or the store's chalkboard for upcoming events like Girls Night Out, with cocktails and great discounts, or Speed Dating -- fun!
