Hello there! I have a quick question I am hoping one of you lovely people can help to answer.

Back in December I made an order to Lush and it never arrived. After they gave me a store credit worth "two purchases" that I could redeem at my next purchase. I am running low on some of my essentials and want to make a few purchases, however I don't know how much my store credit would be worth.

My purchase had originally been worth about $15, and I assume that is the amount I have on credit but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, be on the lookout for Putty for Your Hands and the Mother's Day bubble wands. They should be hitting stores over the next few days and online within the next week or so. I we just unwrapped and started selling our Putty at my shop today!

Pretty exciting :)

Ok, so I know a lot of you read other blogs and whatnot, but for those *not* in the know, I'll give you a rundown...

Putty for your Hands is an A-MAZ-ING soap. Grey in color (of course, varying in darkness because of the handmade aspect), and it is actually a putty feel...kind of like play doh. Where did it come from? Well, one of our lovely managers complained to the Lush head honchos at a meeting...she has eczema and doing demos all day left her hands cracked, sore, and bleeding. The team got to work and created Putty! It has a lot of the same ingredients as Fresh Farmacy...chamomille, lavender, tea tree. It also has marshmallow root and oat milk. Overall it is ridiculously soothing, gentle, moisturizing, and has some anti-microbial qualities. It does NOT lather, but is a really nice way to mend some achey, sensitive skin.

The bubble wands scented the same as the bubbleroons! This way you are getting many baths with the lovely scents instead of crumbling the bubble bar. They are JUST for mother's day and are called Mum Tulip (yuzu and cocoa), Madame Butterfly (rose jam), and Mums (green). The added fun? Each bubble wand has a tag with the name...the tag is actually made of biodegradable, recycled paper and has flower seeds embedded in it. This way, when you gift a wand, the person can also plant the tag in their garden and have lovely flowers!

The Dish Fairy is...wait for it....DISH SOAP! That's right. Lush's one and only household product. It will fight grease and soften your hands with a lovely lemon scent. Its a really cute hot pink and neon green fairy shape on a wand. I tested it in the store by attempting to wash out a pot of ultra bland. If you have never had the joy *sarcasm* of cleaning a pot of ultra bland...let me tell you that it is NOT fun. Dish Fairy was able to cut through the almond oil with no problems. YAY!

Hello! Today was my first day working for lush (so much fun!!!), but I still feel really frazzled and uninformative when helping customers. I was just wondering if someone could help me out and tell me what important products i should know and their ingredients, what they do for skin, hair, etc? What are awesome cocktail suggestions?

Also, I got asked a lot what the difference was between lush shampoos/conditions vs salon shampoos/conditions. I didn't know how to answer this, ingredient wise, so could someone help me out so I know for my next shift? 

Thank you!!! <3

Hey, guys! 

So I was just at the San Diego Lush (HEY GUYS THERE'S A LUSH IN SAN DIEGO NOW!), where I picked up my required shampoo and conditioner so that my poor curls can calm the eff down. I also scored a sample of Ultrabland as an attempt at some reverse psychology on my skin, since the "hey, we'll fix your acne!" cleansers haven't really been doing what's on the label.

So my question is this: do you get your face wet before you apply Ultrabland or not? I've tried it both ways, but I'm sort of clueless about what feels right or not, so I'd really appreciate some help!

Also, quick question. My face is prone to break-outs but isn't oily. I have Herbalism, Coalface and Dark Angels. What do you guys think would be my best bet for a morning cleanser?

Thanks!

Oh, also, T'eo. Shoutout for that little guy! He's quite the power bar--and the powder doesn't even stick to my clothes.

Hey! I just joined the community after a hiatus from LJ...however...I would love to answer any questions I can about Lush!

Nothing I say is an official statement from the company (legalities), but I am an employee just offering up some help to you all in my spare time :)

I see *so many* questions/bad advice/confusion on the NA Lush Facebook, a lot of time things just get buried before Lush Corporate/other employees get to it. That being said, I figured I would do what I can on a smaller scale for some awesome Lushies!

So, ask away. Mods...I'm pretty sure I'm all set with the tag and whatnot. If this isn't cool, just let me know :)

Hey there Lushies!  I was in my local store last week (purchasing fun stuff I don't need but whatever) and got chatting to the SA.  She said they'd just had product training and the trainer told them that a whole bunch of new products will be introduced some time around July.  The SA didn't know any more info than that, just that it's not the Easter/Mother's Day products - these are apparently all new, top-secret-at-the-moment products.  I'm assuming the UK will get them first - so does anyone know anything yet? 

Edit:  Just discovered that the UK site have added things to retro - Green Day bubble bars anyone???  Also, has anyone tried Whitewash shower smoothie?  I'm intrigued but not sure if I should buy it.

PS. Mods, sorry if I don't have enough/correct tags, my computer is being heinous.

Hi everyone! Could someone please clarify the process to applying at a LUSH that's within Macy's? I am not sure if I should directly go to the LUSH and submit my application/ resume, or if I have to apply through the Macy's website. I've tried finding information about it online, but to no avail! Also, is the discount for working at LUSH in Macy's still 50%? I'm just a little bit unsure about it all! I would absolutely adore working for LUSH, but the location I am looking at says online that they are not currently hiring. I still want to submit my information though just in case if anything should become available, but does this seem like a good idea? Or should I wait until there is a posting online?

Thanks so much for all the help in advance! =]

Hi everyone. So SJG has been dead and gone for a couple years now in the US. I did find an old hunk of it in my closet, but it's just not the same. Are there any quality substitutions for this wonder product? I asked someone at the Burlington, MA store and she said that Ultra Bland was the closest thing she could think of. I really wasn't a huge fan of UB, but I guess I could give it a try.

Are there any non-Lush products like SJG? Any second opinions on UB?
