Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics

Have been coming here since Lush opened at the mall and I frequent here at least once a month– my fiancé comes here even more than I do! Typically we have a great experience with the products and staff. I just left there after one of your consultants was inconsiderate and rude– do not know her name but she was tall, blonde and had black-​rimmed glasses. This review does not reflect the store itself, rather the employee who decided to act this way toward me. All of your other consultants have always been fantastic! Don’t know how this person made it through the interview process. Needless to say I will not be spending any more money at this location.

Love love the Products!!! Hate hate the staff!!!
I haven’t hated a product I’ve bought there.
There are some really nice or really rude staff. Dislike the red head manager. Mix feelings on the staff…

I’m a huge fan of lush and lush products. This store smells heavenly whenever you walk past. Their products are mostly all natural and handmade and some are actually vegan. I love their bath bombs. (the sex bomb is my favorite). The people there are very knowledgeable about the product and are super friendly. I’ve never had a bad experience when stopping in. The products are a bit pricey, but are worth the splurge to do something good for your body.

During a random trip to Annapolis Mall I followed my nose to the wonderful scents permeating from Lush. I am a huge fan of handmade, organic/​natural products and this place did not disappoint in terms of the variety and quality of products. My friend and I walked in and were greeted warmly by the staff and even taken on a «Scent Tour» (I made this term up, I’m not even sure if it is regular practice but it was an amazing experience.) I was shown and allowed to test all of the products which were similar to my favorite smells and textures. I tried many delicious smelling soaps and settled on two chunks of soap and a lovely textured solid lotion which made my skin feel tingly and soft. My favorite was the Magnificent Soap, which is pretty much self-​explanatory. Delightful scents of citrus and mango pressed into the perfect soapy package. Makes a very good lather and is made with coconut oil instead of soybean oil. I have a soy allergy so this was a crucial point for me. I also purchased the «Sexy Peal» chunk, which had a lovely lemony fresh smell. I nearly purchased «Honey I Washed the Kids» soap. It smells just like caramel. Yum! The «Hottie» Massage Bar was the favorite of all of my purchases. It is a solid bar of lotion with massaging ridges on one side. Smells like Ginger and is supposed to be for sore muscles but I use it as a daily moisturizer.
You could easily walk in here and spend upwards of $ 100, so the products aren’t want I would label as «bargain.» However, the quality is superior and there are different price points for the soaps. I purchased a $ 20 and $ 15 chunk of soap, but you can purchase it according to weight also (you tell them how much you want and they will weigh it, cut it and wrap it for you.)
I think this is a fun place to stop by if you have a little time (and money) to kill while in Annapolis mall. I certainly hope they will put a Lush somewhere in D.C. or in the National Harbor so that it is right in my backyard. Annapolis Mall and their other locations are pretty far from where I live.

Love Lush. Hate their new location in the mall. It’s so small and narrow, moving around/​browsing is next to impossible. I always feel like some one is in my «bubble» or I’m in theirs. The employees are very nice and are always helpful here, but every time I shop here I leave on the verge of a panic attack. Now I frequent to the Columbia mall location.

I LOVE this place! I’m a huge fan of handmade soaps, and this is my go-​to place for them. In fact, I ONLY use handmade soaps in the shower, so this place is rather convenient. The bad points are only A) The company’s logo is unappealing, I’d miss the store if I didn’t know what it was because the sign reminds me of an As Seen on TV logo. That, and everything here is very expensive.
That said, everything they sell smells amazing. I haven’t used the highly-​touted bath bombs; they market them well, often in neat little shapes you can’t help but look at and touch, but I don’t take many baths (shower person here), so I can’t bring myself to spend $ 5-​$ 10 on a bath bomb. The soap costs me about $ 15 for 5oz, and lasts about a month. I also use a facial moisturizer I bought there for about $ 35. It works pretty well. :)

4 stars because of price. Solid 5 star experience every time I go. Staff always greets me with a warm welcome qnd they can have all of my money. I loooooove their stuff. Try the ‘sex bomb’ bath bomb or mmmm the Sultana of Soap.

Plug your nose if you’re within a 5 mile radius and walk really fast passed the Lush store! If this is you… I know exactly how you feel. But then my world was turned upside down and my friend gave me a gift box from Lush. I cringed as I opened the cute cardboard packaging because my nose knew where it was from before I saw any resemblance of Lush markings.
If my friend gave it to me then it can’t be all that bad, right? Right! It’s all natural. Who knew. When I threw one of those bubble bath fizz balls in the bathtub I had the most luxurious water with moisturizing beads to make my skin all soft. It had fun colors and no strong overwhelming scent. I was in Lush heaven. I was so sad when my box of fun ran out and had to head to the store to see if I could get more.
The soaps run on the pricier side compared to a boring 1000 year old ivory bar but Lush is no ivory. This is the kind of stuff that you love to receive as a present but can’t really justify spend the money for daily use. But I do splurge on bath fizz balls and the raw face masks. Seaweed calming balancing masks only last 3 weeks in the fridge and make me use them regularly because I don’t want to throw any away. I love it. Totally relaxing.
So I realize that I may not be able to work in Lush with 8 hours worth of scents but I can definitely handle the natural smells to grab a few pieces of Lush.
