I like Lush, but it seems to polarise opinion. If someone brought me something from here I would be happy (although not the bath bombs, I can't see the point of them). But If I brought something here for my grandma she wouldn't invite me round for tea ever again.
I just really like the big slabs of soap in their big cheese wheels displays. One day, when I am rich beyond my wildest dreams, I will come in here, and instead of buying the smallest slice of Honey I Washed The Kids, I will buy the whole damn slab. (dream big kids, dream big). I do find the there is a lot of stuff here that I just skip past, like I said, what is the point of the bath bombs? They just leave a messy rim around the bath. Also, I can't get my head around the solid shampoo and conditioner bars - I once rubbed it over my head for about 10 minutes and still had greasy hair at the end of the shower.
But there are things in here that I will always come into pick up. One is The Yummy One, a massage bar that I use in the shower which pumps so much moisture into my dry skin. The other is the BabyFace cleansing bar which takes your makeup off but doesn't strip your skin off at the same time, it leaves it really soft.
