Lush

My 11 year old talked about a visit to Lush for six months before I caved in. Apparently bath bombs are the craze in her jet set. The store is small-​you can smell it before you see it (in a good way-​not the nauseating Abercrombie & Fitch way). The staff is über helpful and a chunk of their proceeds are donated to charity (which makes the price of the products s bit easier to swallow). FYI– try their lip scrub– delish and effective way to keep chapped lips at bay.

I love soap making. So to see a place like this is so awesome. It will make any soap maker want to shoot for this as their goal. It’s a small place but it’s quite impactful. It’s a vegan establishment. That means, all natural items used in their products, and no animal testing. Many of their items are in small portions since they have a short shelf life. Therefore their expectation is that you will be using their products quickly. Their product comes with intense quality. They do have samples that you can try at the store. They have awesome sales associates that are very knowledgeable to how everything works. My only warning is the smell. To me, the store smells wonderful. The overall smell of the store is overpowering. But as a soap maker, it’s what you want to make your product to sell. This store/​company is very conscience to the environment. Therefore they have lotion that is called «charity pot.» Proceeds will go to the charity on the label. A collaborative aspect of Lush that on the labels, there is a sticker of the maker. It gives the product life. Even the containers are made of recycled good. Even though it’s a little pricey, the love used to make the products is truly noted.

Amanda was amazingly helpful, knowledgeable, and fun! One of my favorite Lush visits!

My daughter recently treated me to a visit to Lush, located in «The Playground» shopping area in Caesar’s Casino. As we approached the store, the delightful scents filled the air. Once inside, it was a potential overload of the senses of sight, smell, touch, and hearing. It was like being in a heavenly garden! The sales personnel were quite inviting and the products quite enticing. You can sample anything you want, from soap to scrub, spray, bath bombs, face masks, and body sprays.
I purchased a bar of citrusy dry deodorant and although a bit messy to use, it works great!
Drawback to this store– we had to pay $ 10 to park in Caesar’s self parking lot!

First time in a Lush Cosmetics store (I know I’m late lol). I’ve heard so much about their natural products so I was excited to check them out. I’m happy I went in there with a goal, I didn’t want to get overwhelmed and end up purchase everything in sight. The store is pretty small but they had a wide array of products on display; large bath salts, different bar soaps, lotions, oils, shampoos etc.
The employee that greeted me was helpful and super excited that it was my first time in the store. She tried to show me around but I made sure to let her know I only wanted a small hand lotion. She took me right over to that section and ran down an ingredients listing for the product; Moringa oil (nutritious to the skin and body), Jojoba oil, Olive oil, Shea Butter, Ylang Ylang oil (subtle fragrant oil) among other things. The ingredients were familar and all natural, just like I like it. She also gave me a mini hand massage that I appreciated; the smell is light and it left my hands nicely moisturized. She also explained that a percentage of my purchase would be donated to a charity, which I thought was a plus. I picked a bottle that had charity I resonated with and I felt good about spending my money.
Ill definitely be checking out their NY stores

Definitely «the bomb». I love Lush, and the first time I went here, I was worried that because it is in a tourist town, that there would be no samples, and the prices would be much higher, I was wrong!
First of all, the employees:
Since Lush is a very popular store among many teenage girls and such, it gets VERY crowded, as you can imagine. But, the Lush employees here can handle it. In the small store, they have about half a dozen employees helping customers! There isn’t a huge wait to talk to someone, which is great if you’re in a hurry. The employees are all very kind, and helpful.
Products:
Lush is an amazing store to buy soaps, shampoo, etc. Most of the ingredients are natural, and the synthetics used are very safe. They carry all vegetarian products (I believe), and vegan products as well. Plus, they do not test on animals! I am always satisfied with everything I buy here, especially the «Big shampoo», and bath bombs.
Charity aspect:
Lush donates a lot of money to charity, and they had the charity pot. The charity pot is a nice lotion for specific causes, if you buy it, they donate. At the moment, they have soap right now, and on the soap is printed, «Gay Is Okay». Lush is always helping out with causes in need!
Price:
The only thing I dislike about Lush, is the price. Some products, to me, are a little over priced. $ 25 for a tub of shampoo??? But, they are good quality, so, it’s not that big a deal.
Samples:
Lush employees are willing to give a ton of samples for any shampoos, non bar soaps, etc. Yipee! Samples for days.
Overall, I love Lush, and especially this location. I wish I could give 6 stars. Will be back, again and again.

Four stars for Lush products, as they are wonderful and fun, but one star for this particular store. I felt like I was being attacked by hungry vultures so needless to say I ran from the store silently screaming pretty quickly.
There were a few other people in the tiny store when I went in fully intending to purchase some bath bombs and anything else that caught my eye. A sales associate greeted me and asked if I had ever been to a Lush before. I stated that I had and went back to looking. My body language said I’m not interested in chatting, I’ll let you know if I need help, but apparently they are taught to be pushy, not to read their customers body language at this store. She immediately launched into a diatribe about The products, so I curtly told her thank you, but I was just looking for now. In other words, I like to shop in peace, thank you very much. As I was checking out a product ingredient list (I have a lot of allergies), she began telling me all about the product, without me asking or even giving any indication that I wanted her to do this. Again, I said thank you, this time without looking at her and adding that I was just looking. Unfortunately, this happened three more times within three minutes. Since it seemed body language, politely declining help, and eventually being rude about it did not seem to get them to just let me browse to select what I wanted in peace, I gave up and left empty handed.
To sum it up, enter only if you are the type of shopper that doesn’t mind overbearing sales people desperate to make a sale. If you are like me, you will feel like road kill being circled by vultures and won’t enjoy the shopping experience at all (which I always thought that Lush was supposed to be a fun shopping trip, and it usually is).

Stopped in here on a whim while visiting Atlantic City on New Years Eve hoping to pick up some sale treats from the B1G1 (holiday end sale). Staff was WONDERFUL. Some of the nicest people I encountered in AC! Though this shop is small the ladies inside (and of course, the Lush) made it absolutely fantastic.

Went to lush with the girlfriend to look at soap bombs for the bathtub and ended up staying 25 mins talking to the employees and watching them make the soaps. The employees themselves are some of the nicest people i have ever met and we left with a bath bomb and tons of free samples of things. Its a bit expensive but worth it for the atmosphere and staff who actually care about their store compared to mindless drones who dont know shampoo from conditioner at other local soap shops.

Nice store and they seemed to have every product in stock. I went in to purchase a face mask on sunday that I have been excited for about a week to purchase since I knew I would be in an area with a lush store and my skin has been needing it. I specifically asked for the brazened honey mask and when I got home and pulled my items out of the bag I realized that the employee gave me the completely wrong mask. She instead gave me the sacred truth which honestly sucks and has done nothing for my skin, so that’s super disappointing. The place wasn’t even crowded so there was no reason for her mistake. Maybe the employee wasn’t concentrating which sucks because when you ask for a specific product it’s nice to be able to trust that they will give you the right thing.

I have always been a huge fan of lush, but the closest store is 3 hours from me! I went into this lush my first day of a long weekend in Atlantic City. The customer service here was fantastic! I had been faithfully using many lush products for years, and while I always thought they worked well, I guess I never really knew my skin and hairs potential. An associate spent a lot of time with me (I wish I could remember her name). And talked to me about a lot of products I would have never thought to try. She gave me a ton of free samples! Face wash, toner, moisturiser, shampoo, and a leave in hair treatment. She purposely gave me enough that I would be able to use them for the whole weekend and see how I liked them. Needless to say at the end of the weekend I purchased all of the products I sampled! One thing I will say about lush, the products should last a VERY long time, if you need a lot of product, it is likely you are not using the correct one for your skin and hair type. (Something I found during my stop at lush atlantic city).

One of my favorite stores! Discovered Lush my summer in London 2001. So glad they are here in the States! Catastrophe face mask is fantastic. Actually all the fresh face masks are good, and if you bring back 5 clean pots you get a free face mask! Love the face spray refreshers, especially the green tea one. I got one of my friends hooked on the sea salt scrub and the green tea face mist. The bath bars and fizzies are luxurious and the massage bars smell incredible and melt into your skin. This place is great, I absolutely love treating myself to one of their products once in a while.

Oddly enough, this was the first time I experienced a Lush SA who seemed uncomfortable doing her job. I’ve been here once before. I only stopped in to introduce a friend to the products. She left with a Buffy body butter and a tin for $ 17. Standard Lush prices. I’m sure the newbie SA will learn their scare tactics soon enough.

I used to love this Lush for it’s boutique size and equally attentive service. However the service we received this time was inconsistent but mostly overbearing.
They did have a sale going on with their holiday products (buy one, get one free), so that was a plus.

I’ve been to Lush at Scottsdale Fashion Square in Scottsdale, AZ, and what a surprise to find a location here in Atlantic City (and at The Pier Shops at Caesar’s, no less)! I actually detected the scents of Lush before actually seeing the store… A few whiffs and I thought, «Nah… it couldn’t be???» And there it was!
Lush offers all-​natural bath and beauty products, such as massage (oil) bars, bath bombs (dissolving rounds of deliciously-​scented bath salts), hair-​dye bars (shave a piece into water, dissolve, and apply– I’ve read enough reviews to deem this a pass), soap bars, etc. Your wallet will take a hit if you shop here, but the products are made in small batches and are of high-​quality, so I think it’s a small price to pay for great products!
I think it was the pleasant surprise of finding another location, hundreds of miles away from Scottsdale, that made me finally buy a couple of massage bars: an «Each Peach (and Two’s a Pair!)» and a «Mange Too!»
The customer service was friendly and very helpful, as well! The boutique is very tiny, though jam-​packed w/​products. (I’d say the Scottsdale boutique is slightly bigger and even-​more filled w/​goodies.)

(I brought the «Each Peach» bar for my massage therapist to try on me yesterday, and she raved about how great it felt gliding over the skin, and yet at the same time, it offered enough friction to work out the knots w/​out it being too greasy that she’d worry about my clothes getting ruined from oil absorption. Of equal importance, we both liked the scent!)

Awesome Lush shop and if you have AAA, go to the desk in the Pier Shops to get a coupon book. You get a coupon for Lush! To that I said, woohoo!!!
The employees at this Lush are so nice, they aren’t snobby or pushy or anything else annoying sales people can be. They are helpful but let you shop on your own. You feel very welcome. I found everything I wanted quickly, cashed out without problem and they were happy to see that I had a coupon.
You can’t miss a Lush store as they all emanate that certain Lush smell. It can be overwhelming but you find the scents inside that you love and it makes you happy. I think almost anyone can find something they like here. I am most fond of the bath melts, bubble bath bars and now the lip scrubs.

I love the way lush smells. It’s a pretty distinctive smell and you always know if there’s a lush store int he vicinity because you can smell it a mile away. Okay, maybe not a mile, but at least a few stores down. I totally sniffed my way to the lush store in the Eaton Centre in Toronto.
This lush is cute and cozy, one of the smaller lush stores I’ve been in but they still have all the products I like. Most of the products are made with natural ingredients, but all of their products are not 100% natural, so if this is a concern for you, just read the label :)
I like their (pricey) handmade soaps. I love the karma and honey i washed the kids scents. I also like the one that smells like fresh lemons — I love citrus smells. The soaps are priced by the pound and sold in small chunks. They’re kinda pricey for what they are, but I buy it more for the smell than anything else, and they hold up pretty well once you get them home.
They also have solid shampoo bars, which seem like a great idea for me. They’d be really good if you’re the outdoorsy camping/​hiking type or for traveling, or if you live in a dorm and have to lug all your stuff down the hall to the shower. I wanted to buy some to travel with, but 1. kinda expensive and 2. the main ingredient in most of them is sodium laureth sulfate, and i prefer a gentler cleanser. That stuff is fine if you really want to get the gunk out of your hair.
I’ve also tried their solid massage bars. They’re basically a chunk of cocoa butter that, again, smells yummy.
I think what first drew me to lush, before they were even in the US, were their bath bombs. Now, a lot of companies make their own version of a bath bomb, but back then it was new news to me! They’re these balls of baking soda basically that look and smell awesome, and some even have flower petals or glitter inside, and when you drop em in your bath they fizz until they dissolve. Fun!
Lush also has this bath jelly stuff, its basically like a solid shower gel that looks like jell-​o. I have yet to master the use of this product. I usually end up with a couple of suds in my hands and most of the jell-​o on the shower floor. Not the most practical product, but definitely fun. I hear you can stick it in the freezer too.
I use the aqua marina cleanser. I have pretty fair skin that tends to be pretty red so an associate recommended this. It made the redness on my hand go away the second I tested it in the store, but it came back a few minutes later… still though I bought the product. It works pretty well, better than most drug store stuff, but it’s not amazing. Unlike most other lush products this does NOT smell yummy. It has seaweed in it, and it took me a while to get past the smell. The herbalism cleanser is also great for cranky skin.
Associates are very helpful, sometimes a little overwhelming, but are happy to recommend products for you, and just about everything there has a tester, so you can go in and experiment. :)
