Lush is my favorite as well as so many people. I was surfing the web and these are the comments I found.

First of all, it smells good. Duh. But I remember going into Bath and Bodyworks or something when I was in high school for my girlfriend (champ that I was) and being nauseated, blasted, sickened and beaten up the nose by the thick, assaulting chemical smell. Lush smells just as much, but you don't swoon or have flashbacks to your time in New Jersey. The sales associates immediately said hi, and then left me alone when I said I was just checking it out. When I asked for help later, one of them walked around and showed me every single product I wanted to see, one on one. She demonstrated them and let me smell, smear, stir, whatever. She explained every product, made suggestions, and was understanding to my concerns about cost. She was patient even when I fanned a few of her recommendations due to having sensitive skin on my face.Honestly, smelling like fruits, berries and nonsense doesn't interest me greatly. Using the highest quality bath products does, because it makes a difference you can actually feel. Well worth the money for their products, and a positively enjoyable sales experience.

Lush has been my favorite soap indulgence store for a very long time. I got hooked on it when I spent a lot of time in Toronto, and my at the time boyfriend would get me bath bombs and melts and shampoos and smelly nice things. I can understand that some people get totally overwhelmed by the scent and the products when they go in there, but I adore the products. The only thing I haven't loved that I've used from there are the face lotions. Try the salt scrub if you need some facial exfoliation, and it's great on the rest of the body as well. My favorite soaps are Big Blue, Demon in the Dark, and Figs and Leaves. Lush is my favorite.

I'm such a Lush addict. I came by to stock up on Happy Hippy (a grapefruit shower gel that can also be used as shampoo, and one of the few scented products that doesn't give my sensitive bf a headache). I went all out and bought the biggest bottle they have, because it's so groovy, man. While I was there, the cheery sales clerk asked me if I wanted to try a free hand treatment -- rub Lemony Flutter cuticle butter on rough patches, then exfoliate with sea salt scrub, and moisturize with Dream Cream. Oh my god, my hands felt SO GOOD afterward. And then she told me about a hand cream they make especially for doctors and nurses (and other people who do frequent handwashing) called "Helping Hands" which is designed to keep moisturizing after several washes. I work in a biology lab so I also do lots of handwashing and wear gloves, which makes my hands feel icky. I have about 4358072 kinds of hand lotion now, but once I use some up I'll be back to try Lush's version, because the sample I tried at the store was great.
