Lusting Over Lush

By chance, I wandered into  a Lush Cosmetics store on my break the other day.  I'm not sure why, mostly because I had time to kill and I had never been in there, and I was, well, curious.  I poked around a little when the sales associate found me and talked my ear off.

Typically, I hate being talked to while I shop, and I tried to give this woman the same message, but she didn't pick up. The more she talked to me, though, the more intrigued I got.  First of all, the home made products they had in the store looked super delicious. I'm not sure if they're edible or  not, but I kind of wanted to try them.

Second of all, they have tons of beauty products, which I didn't realize.  I assumed it was mostly soaps and lotions, but it turns out they have makeup, hand creme, split end wax, hair masks, shampoo, deodorant.... You get the picture.

Little known fact, I'm obsessed with my hair and keeping it healthy and unsuccessfully growing it long. So when I found the hair products, she started talking to me about a hair mask to stimulate hair growth. She showed me her roots (lol) and after she had been using it a month and a half, her hair had grown at least an inch and a half. Sold. Unfortunately, I had neither money nor time to spend, but I'm seriously contemplating going back. I mean, not for nothing, but the products are eco friendly and basically chemical free. While they're a little pricier than I'd like to pay, they certainly fit in more with my clean, preservative-free lifestyle.

Nevertheless, I'm just wondering if any of my readers (I'm hoping some of you really exist) have used any Lush products? And what did you think??

 

On a side note, right after I wrote this, I encountered (on a separate Pinterest endeavor) peoples' high ratings for the Silk Stockings Skin tint.  And since I'm unfortunately of mostly eastern European descent, I'm awkwardly pale and will be adding this to my list of "to buy" next time I'm home.
