I was IN a Lush two days ago and they totally encouraged me to make my own sugar lip scrub, and happily told me what was in theirs (not that it isn't disclosed on the site and/or packaging anyway). Isn't that funny and a little bit perverse? ;)<br /><br />I definitely think Lush products can be hit or miss and very much a matter of personal taste, but I ridiculously prefer what products I like of theirs to anything I've been able to make on my own and FAR above anything else I've bought from a large company. And there aren't exactly a ton of local independent handmade-stuff businesses in my area selling sea salt cream shampoo and spicy-smelling bar deodorant, or I would probably be buying from them instead ... ;)<br /><br />I do appreciate that everything Lush sells appears to actually be a form of handmade, and that they do put far more effort into their company ethics than most large bath and body companies, they recycle, they use minimal packaging, etc. And I've heard from their employees that they're a good company to work for (at least here).<br /><br />Then again, Lush where you are is probably a little bit different from Lush where I am, since you actually have Lush factories there and the closest one to me is in Canada. The Lush factoris are so much closer to you than they are to me that "local" looks somewhat reasonable from way over here in the land of Ridiculously Huge States. ;)Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14866575966072871002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-9556750694356453792010-09-15T12:51:32.963-07:002010-09-15T12:51:32.963-07:00Thanks so much for the mention - very kind :)Thanks so much for the mention - very kind :)Viviannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03478973141660495485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-19106462359952415822010-09-15T03:04:04.157-07:002010-09-15T03:04:04.157-07:00Pictures of buns Matter Deeply to us all - my man ...Pictures of buns Matter Deeply to us all - my man understands this (he has a very sweet tooth, as do I) and your man obviously doesn't. But they can be trained! Make sure he buys you the most photogenic (and therefore tastiest and most elaborately iced) ones. Make it a competition! (I've never looked back... probably just as well as the derriere is expanding in consequence).<br /><br />I love the sound of your sugar stuff! And sourced from a health shop! Yaaay....<br /><br />RE Lush - it isn't really. I'm allergic to a lot of their stuff although a friend loves it. And I used their 'pure' kajal in a handcarved wood container (from India I think) which has caused blepharitis - I'm still undergoing treatment for this at Moorfields Eye Hospital. Shame I didn't save the container & the receipt - maybe I could have sued if I'd kept the proof.Susie Jeffersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02402749518914063770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-31237481100745904832010-09-14T04:05:45.079-07:002010-09-14T04:05:45.079-07:00Yep, pictures of buns all good here too.lol.xxxYep, pictures of buns all good here too.lol.xxxMumma Trollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680473479136949422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-6793609513153060102010-09-13T15:08:03.861-07:002010-09-13T15:08:03.861-07:00Huzzah for someone ranting about Lush for once.

I braved it once to try some of their samples as I have super sensitive skin and can only use a tiny number of products without shedding/itching/rash/etc. I tried 3 Lush products on the back of my hand, left the shop with 3 new spots of rash that had come up instantly!Kezzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06417584466098954250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971721308549315776.post-72384845609993978042010-09-13T11:52:20.370-07:002010-09-13T11:52:20.370-07:00I told him people would care about my bun.
