WANNA EAT THIS LIKE FINE CUISINE “first and foremost i gotta emphasize how delectable this smells. scrumptious, even. opened the jar and my eyeballs almost fell outta my head bugs bunny cartoon style at the scent. when i actually bit the bullet and washed my face with it my worldview changed. i caused world peace. ended world hunger. i forgave those who have wronged me and kissed them on the cheek. if you have skin (most of you i hope) please buy.” -Grace
BOOTYLICIOUS!!! “Made all of me feel amazing, in every crack and crevice, might have to indulge in another one of these bad bois again,
Q. What’s your earliest Lush memory? A. My first experience was a shower jelly way back in the day and it was probably the weirdest shower experience I had up until that point...and I ended up loving it! Q. What’s your ritual for a good night’s sleep? A. I am an evening showerer, so once I’ve sat down in my pyjamas, I use a massage bar, serum bar, and lip mask to prepare myself for bed and it’s amazing. I feel so silky and clean! Q. What would you like us to invent next? A. Pimple patches or even headbands for skincare.
Q. What’s your favourite Lush story? A. Ghost scent was created for a segment on the Paul O’Grady show, when they made Lily Savon soap. The scent went on to feature in way more products and became a fan favourite. Considering we have recently lost Paul, it’s nice to think that he and Lily Savage (Paul O’Grady’s stage character) influenced Lush, even just a little bit. Q. What’s your favourite thing about the Lush community? A. Meeting amazing people who share the same passions as you. “I’ve made really good friends through Lush.”
Q. What’s your favourite Lush story? A. One of my favourite things is that Lush and music go together. So many products are named after or inspired by music. It’s a way for all your senses to come together. Q. What’s your ritual for a good night’s sleep? A. A small spritz of Twilight body spray on my pillow and embrace the calming scents into dreamland. Q. What product would you like to see us invent next? A. Bath bomb inspired nail polishes or reed diffusers of iconic Lush scents to scent our living spaces.

“
My favourite Lush scent is Tramp. A s soon as I smell it, I am taken away to a swampy wooded area. It really helps me to feel grounded and calm. My inspiration for the painting was exactly this – walking through soggy grasslands approaching a forest, with the damp mossy smell increasing as you get closer.”
