Haven't been to a Lush store in YEARS and was excited to find one here while I was meeting up with a friend at the spectrum. I walked in around 7:50 p.m. on a Thursday and was in scent heaven! I was looking for a scalp clarifying shampoo and within a minute or so I was greeted by Zay who was tall and had curly hair. I asked him for his recommendations on shampoo and he suggested the Wasabi shampoo and I was sold. I then asked him for curly hair recommendations and also body oil recos. For curly hair he recommended 2 products he uses and I was hesitant to commit to one so he gave me samples of the curly cream and curly moisturizer. I recently used the shampoo and the curl stuff and it actually helped with my curls AND I smelled like horchata. I don't know how else to describe the smell of my hair but that's literally what it was giving and I wasn't mad at it. For body oils, they didn't have any but Zay recommended this soap that melts with your body temperature. The one he recommended definitely smelled like their perfume fragrance I got many years ago called Tuca Tuca. Zay also hooked it up with a few soap samples that I've used as a go-to soap for the gym and it smells AMAZING and works great. It's always a good idea to stop in here for anything. read more

Empress helped me and my sister get the perfect gift for our sister-in-law for the holidays. We had a great experience -- she even let us sample the products to make sure we liked all the products! Everything we tried was super scrumptious smelling, skin softening, and luxurious. Definitely recommend coming in! It was such a lovely treat to visit. Thank you, Empress! read more

i mostly go here because a friend of mine is an avid patron. i usually browse & smell all the beautiful soaps/products; it's a feast for the senses. i am leaving this review because of Kim, she is an asset to your team, Lush! she was attentive, energetic & understanding. i had my daughter with me who is three. instead of dismissing her she noticed she was smelling the soaps & had her big eyes on all the colorful items. she asked her if she wanted to wash her hands & play with some bubbles at the little hand washing station by the door & proceeded to give her "bubble high fives" & gave us both some hand lotion samples on the way out. she seemed very knowledgeable regarding the many products but her customer service & warm, kind & encouraging demeanor was refreshing and made my experience memorable thank you so much for making my daughter smile, Kim! you are a gem. the other staff were friendly as well. i like the "sea vegetable" soap bar, it smells like a sexy starfish if you could fathom such a scent. their products are displayed nicely & the store is enjoyable to walk through as well. read more

This was a quick stop for me. I just came for a gift card. The employee was great. I was there less than five minutes.

The employee Empress was AMAZING!! She went above and beyond to help us find the best scents and the best combinations. She was so patient aswell as being hilarious and kind!! she MADE our experience! read more

Maddie helped us out and she was the best! Will definitely be returning to Lush. Hoping Maddie will be there next time we come!

My first time ever visiting this store with to look for Christmas gifts and I ended up staying over an hour admiring all the products and enjoying the scents! I was helped by Joy and Elizabeth who are amazing and provided me with great service. Elizabeth is incredibly knowledgeable with each item in the store and so patient to listen to what I was looking for while offering her guidance to help me. I ended up purchasing gifts for 7 people with her help! Super grateful for her and wanted to acknowledge all her hard work!! Thank you again, I'm so grateful and couldn't have been happier with my experience and great find for my lover ones. Thank you for also welcoming my pup in the store too! read more

This is a smaller Lush store but they fit the bath bomb bill lol plus I wanted that hair growing soap that some of my Yelp friends have reviewed so I bought 2 and will lyk the results after a few dreaded hair washing's. read more

Michelle and Gigi are the real ones. They're the Homies and I would buy anything from the store and they hook it up like always they keep it 100 all seven days of the week. read more

You walk into a mall, even an outdoor one, and you smell a whiff of aromas dancing into your nostrils. Maybe, more like an explosion, from a bath bomb. Lush is a unisex, beauty store with the mission to have planet-friendly products. They make bath bombs, hair care products, skin care, lips, teeth, deodorant, you name it. People who go here are usually mindful of what they use and eat and want what they use in the bathroom to reflect it. Not to mention they smell good and do a good job in aiding your bodily needs. They offer samples in and out of store so that's great and the service is always nice. Also lgbt friendly read more

Customer service was lacking. I came in on 1/13/24 at around noon. There were 3 workers standing around a semi empty store preoccupied with their lil convo, there was another guy standing towards the front acting like he was doing something. No hello, no welcome, no can I help you find something. You're not DOING anyone a favor by standing around getting paid hourly and acting like customers have entered your home and inconvenienced you. Get a grip and better training. I walked out without buying anything because the vibe was super off. You'd think they would have better training since this store is located at a tourist spot. read more

Covid-19 review! I've been using Lush on and off for years. It is pricey but the products are fun! Lush is located by the Ferris wheel, Nordstrom, and Wahoo's. Shopping during the pandemic means you can't just walk in and out.. you must be allowed in and I'm sure only a few shoppers are allowed at a time. My last visit was not busy at all so there was no long wait or rush to get out. You are asked if you'd like hand sanitizer or use a tiny piece of soap to wash your hands. I used the tiny piece of soap which you can take home. I visited because I had 5 empty fresh face mask containers which you can turn in for 1 free mask! I love their masks! You keep them in the fridge and there are expirations dates. I definitely feel like they are fresh and helps keep my face feeling rejuvenated after wearing a mask for so many hours in a day! One of the little tubs is supposed to be enough for 4 uses. You can never go wrong with bath bombs and bubble bars! I try to make bath bombs last for 2 baths by breaking them in half. There are currently so many cute seasonal items for Christmas which make great gifts! Unfortunately, you are not permitted to take your mask off to smell products which makes it a little harder to choose items. The staff said I could smell thru my mask but I honestly could not. The staff also don't open the face masks to show you what it looks like anymore. It's best to do your homework prior to coming if you're not familiar with the products. All staff members I encountered were helpful in describing products. They were all definitely knowledgeable in ingredients and scents! read more

amazing experience at this location! beck was super help they showed us all the awesome bath bombs and soaps. i got a shower bomb and it smells heavenly, cant wait to test it out! read more

I came in here on May 5 around 12pm and I was helped out by a wonderful lady. I was looking for a bath bomb for my daughter who enjoys them. She referred me to a rainbow bath bomb and the rainbow fun soap. I picked up the Question Cube from the Mario collab before I checked out. The cube smelled amazing and was super cool, once the cube dissolved there was gold coin soap inside. My daughter loved the rainbow fizzy as well. It didn't stain her hands nor the bathtub! That's a big plus. read more

I walked in tonight excited to grab a fresh face mask. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Jose. I inquired about the face masks and unfortunately there were none in stock (besides a few) due to them not being delivered and held in customs. Instead, Jose gave me plenty alternatives and recommendations and was very well versed in all things Lush. I decided not to get any of the products because my heart was set on getting Rosy Cheeks. When Jose heard that's what I was looking for he immediately made me a sample so I could take home. Jose was sweet, knowledgeable, and just so friendly and helpful. Thanks for making my night. I may not have gotten a full product of Rosy Cheeks but I left more than satisfied and happy with the service I received today. Thank you thank you thank you!!! read more

LOU was amazing!! She made my shopping experience so wonderful i didn't feel overwhelmed with usual bombarding questions in the beginning like most stores. She made me try samples and was listening attentively to what i needed, she then let me do my own thing and walk around the store and was always there when i had more questions. Will definitely be coming back! :) read more

What an amazing store! Thank you so much to Kit, who approached me, and helped me build a mini skincare routine. She put so much time and effort into our interaction, and was so knowledgeable about the products she was helping me find. I can't wait to come back to this location. read more

We had my daughter's birthday party here earlier this month and everyone had a great time! Maddie and Jessie were our party hosts and they were both so sweet, helpful, really made things fun for the girls and kept the party flowing at a nice pace. They got to make a bath bar together and all took home some fun goodies. A back table was already set up for me to put food and drinks on and I also like how the second half of the store was blocked off for only our group. Overall I would highly recommend having a birthday party here. Thanks again to all the staff at Lush! read more

Let me preface this review by saying that the staff at this location, Lush at Irvine Spectrum, are very friendly and helpful. Their review is not about the staff but about their return policy. Clearly on their receipt, it states that if you're not happy with their product they will exchange it for something else or give you a full refund with the receipt, within 90 days. Well I came with a receipt for a body butter that contained chips of some thing that probably hardened from one of the ingredients. I got this body butter as an exchange for a gift box that I received as a birthday present LAST WEEK. Even though the young lady said that that is a part of that product, I clearly don't agree. I don't want to put body butter or lotion that has chips of whatever it is that hardened up, whether it be Shea butter, etc. So I found something to exchange it with, however it didn't quite add up to the original amount. I requested for a store credit, which lady said they don't do. I have never had this problem with the Newport Beach store. So basically they're forcing you to buy more than you want to buy even though I was clearly stating I would buy products just not right now. So I ended up buying stuff that I didn't even want because they wouldn't give me a store credit. I think that is so deceitful. Why don't you just state that on the receipt. Every single retail store I've been to clearly states their return or refund policy on the receipt. Apparently Lush, or this particular one, does things differently. read more

Came to the grand opening event for this LUSH location and it was fantastic! There was music and plenty of people waiting in line for free bath bombs. They have a limited quantity of molds for the free bath bombs and I got the dragon mold. The line went by relatively quick and there was complimentary cake pops while I waited. I think the service was great as everyone was very friendly and I saw many employees making samples and demonstrating how to use their products. As a regular LUSH customer, I love the fact that they have opened a location in the Irvine Spectrum because it is so conveniently located! Parking can be difficult at the mall but plenty of great stores to shop at! read more

This is my happy place. I have a large bath tub and I take a couple baths a week as part of my self care. This place is pricey, but I find it worth the splurge. The bath bombs and bubble bars are top quality. I prefer the bubble bars as they can be used over multiple baths whereas the bath bombs are a one time option. I enjoy the variety of scents and colors. They have even more products available that I haven't tried yet. There's something for everyone here. read more

great customer service and wonderful scents dreamy vanilla and rustic scents can't wait to try and return for more

i haven't been inside a LUSH in so long but for whatever reason decided to stop in today in the middle of running errands and i am SO beyond happy i did. i did not plan on picking anything up, just wanted to see what was new in store and smell some soap but i did not leave empty handed. i was greeted by lauren who is the sweetest person ever (it honestly felt more like i was shopping with a close friend) and we chatted and laughed for almost an hour as she took me around the store showing me all her favorite scents and new products. she was so helpful in recommending products that leaned into what scents i liked and would be easy on any skin irritations i had. i eventually decided on their popular King of Skin body butter bar and Scrubee exfoliating bar both of which she tested on my hands and i LOVED how nourishing they were. i also got their Home Sweet Pineapple body balm spongebob collab which smelled so incredible and also left me super hydrated. she even threw in a sample of the super milk hair conditioner so i could try it out at home :) i cant wait to try all my products out - will definitely be back and ask for lauren again next time im in-store! LUSH has always provided amazing customer service wherever i go but this location at the spectrum in particular is the best! thanks so much to lauren and the entire crew at lush irvine for a great shopping experience! read more

I've visited this location more than I can count and I've faced a good customer service every time. All the staff are very friendly and do their best to help you find the product that works for you. Last time I was helped by Jessie who made my day! read more

So happy about this LUSH store being located in Irvine Spectrum! The store has lots of inventory and the staff here are super sweet and friendly. Like all LUSH stores, you can ask for samples before you try. Please don't feel hesitant about asking for samples! The staff are so friendly and is so generous with the samples. Literally perfect way to try before committing. LUSH has an awesome recycling program as well, so make sure you save 5 black containers to redeem for a FREE fresh face mask! If you're unsure about LUSH products, the staff will help guide you through their products and make the appropriate recommendation for you to try out. read more

So first off this review is for Mars or Margs? I'm sorry but I didn't fully catch the name right but he did have pink/purplish hair. Came in earlier today for the first time in any Lush store to figure out a birthday gift for my friend. He spent a great deal of time helping me out and giving me suggestions/tips on what to get; we finalized on fruity scented theme. Great customer service and was very helpful since I know absolutely nothing about skin-care and stuff. Thank you once again! read more

This location recently opened at the Irvine Spectrum. I appreciate how the Irvine Co. listens to the visitors feedback and has added all these new cool stores that you can find at South Coast or at your favorite outdoor mall like the Grove in LA. I had a gift card and decided to visit this location to redeem. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by a nice staff who is more then willing to help you find the appropriate product based on your needs. I was looking for a bath bomb that would help with my aching muscles from yoga and they recommended a few products that would help with this and they were not kidding. They were bomb.com I also like the popsicle idea they have now instead of just bath bombs. There is a lot of variety in their selection depending on what you're looking for. The staff is accommodating and ready to help with suggestions and samples. read more

Amazing service here! Love the vibe and the people here! Shoutout to Carly and Jose! They're the sweetest people out there! Love it here! Would come back again! :) read more

Last night I went to buy soap bar for my hair at lush.. I mention to kat that the new bar shampoo makes my hair grow super fast. I had donated about a foot of hair for the kids at Saint Jude hospital back in March, and she was so sweet she gave me several samples of a new shampoo.. love the brand lush and there staff at the Irvine spectrum read more

I would not go into the store right now during COVID. I understand the need for limited capacity and keeping masks on and all that, but to expect customers to pay high prices for items based on their smell and not allow them to smell it without the mask off is ridiculous. I was not told this while standing in line for 20 minutes. Am I supposed to eat in restaurants without removing my mask as well? The sales associates were very polite about it but it's also not fair to ask them to police ridiculous policies, because they're the ones that have to deal with unhappy customers. read more

Hands down best location with the most rad staff. Everyone is super nice and helpful. I was lucky enough to be checked out by Brittany and she was honestly an angel. Will be back because of her and the other wonderful staff working with her tonight! Lush is always great but the staff here is A+++ read more

This place is so wonderful! I've been here multiple times but what caused me to write a review was this employee named Lou. She is so wonderful and lovely and helped curate things specific to my needs. This store is really great and the customer service is amazing! Their bath bombs are wonderful but I started using their shampoo and conditioner bars and it has really done wonders for my hair. I definitely feel much better using more sustainable products like Lush! read more

Today I had the best experience at this location! Seriously just so much love I appreciate all the help from Maddie, Lou & Kats-especially you Kats! You made my whole day feel super special because of your kindness! I hope I spelled all your names right Thanks so much for everything! I will drive the distance to come to this location for the service alone. They helped me pick out gifts for family and friends as well as treats for me They also were super enthusiastic and said to let them know if I wanted to try anything and sat me down to experience a hand scrub. So sweet! The store is also larger than the one closer to me (mission viejo mall) and very well organized. Highly recommend. read more

Jake was SO helpful and sweet. Great customer service and I'm soooo glad that this location opened up at The Spectrum!

This is probably the biggest lush I've ever been to! I love the layout, very welcoming! Today I probably had the best experience, thanks to the assistant manager Jake! He was very knowledgeable and took the time to assist me in all my needs. I cannot wait to go back for more ocean salt! read more

Big thanks to Mars for the stellar customer service today!
