Never used any of their products but they make great gifts for girls that you don't really know too well.

This tread sits better here then in tGC.
As for Lush, ewwww, can't stand the stuff. The perfume is so overwhelming that I'm unable to walk into the shop. I'm not sure if they do any products geared towards men but if their fragrances are as powerful as the womens are then I'm not going to be putting it on my shopping list.

Yep, they do stuff for guys. http://www.lush.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=77&category_id=485&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=80

Pity about the smell as they do have some really good products. Especially if you are any way sensitive.

I am sensitive, sadly it to strong perfumes. I find I have to hold my breath and bolt through the perfume sections of department stores to get to the gents sections.

I'll have a browse through their web pages and get the Kiddlets to fetch me some soap to try out.

well stay away from any of their scrubs, I used one for the first time the other day and it nearly took half my skin off, very strong, I had scraps all over my arms from it.

I really like Lush and their products -but I do admit that the smell when walking past the shop is off putting. My ex used to get very bad shaving rash so I gave him a product that I had bought in there and he found it really helped....Ok granted the name of the product is not the most manly of names but it did work...its called 'angels on bare skin' (I told you so!:D) but it has lavender in it which calmed the shaving rash.......

My partner likes both their shaving creams Prince and Razortorium. The Razortorium is better for tackling tough stubble but the Prince gives a smoother shave.

It's not really though. Their skincare range is pretty good.

I like their products but the staff in their shops are so annoying, they just won't leave you alone, giggling and wanting to rub creams on your hands. They don't understand what "I'm just looking" means. I've been in several Lush shops here and abroad and it's all the same so I stopped going in, I just end up with a headache.

I think a lot of people are put off by them, I refuse to go in to any of their shops anymore, they're ridiculous.

Agreed. They seem to hire generically kooky hard selling types; who fail miserably to disguise the fact that they have an enormous personal sales target for the day behind their annoying kooky facade. But then they often fail at the selling bit too. I've laughed on more than one occasion at their pathetic link sell efforts. Lush could have a side-line consultancy business on 'How not to sell':D.

I also dislike the fact that at times they go out of their way NOT to make you aware of whatever deal of the week they have so that you'll spend more money. This has happened me twice, in both instances I've overheard another assistant telling other customers about it and have had to then say it to the person dealing with me who usually feigns forgetfulness(:rolleyes:).

They definately do make some gems of products tho; if the sales assistant can stay out of your face long enough for you to buy them:pac:. I'd actually recommend buying from their online site instead. shipping is ok, the parcel is always beautiful wrapped and they always give you great samples and sometimes some free stuff too:)

Lush staff dont have personal sales targets. They are bouncy and enthastic beacuse a)they are paid to do that, b)inhaling that much essential oils all day every day will make you a bit hyper. If you dont like the customer service, call for the manager and explain the situation, or email the company.

Word of caution: If you have sensitive skin, DO NOT go for a face pack known as Phresh Pharmacy. I'm normally good with calomine-based products but this stuff left me with weeping sores all across my hairline around my nose. It's possible I may have gotten a botched batch but I say it as a word of caution-the Phresh Pharmacy is not as 'sensitive and gentle' as it lets on.

That horror story aside, I'm a long-time fan of Happy Hippy Hair and Body Gel.
It leaves my hair uber-soft and it's light enough to use daily so my scalp doesn't irritate.
