Flight Attendant Shopping: Lush

by Mary Jo Manzanares on May 20th, 2006

Lush was a layover discovery, having first visited the store while on a layover in Vancouver, B.C.

From the minute I walked in the door, I was mesmerized with its display of yummy smelling, hand-made bath products.  From sweet smelling soaps to spicy bath bars, it was all so overwhelming.  The products are all natural, and there is no animal testing.  This is truly a business with a social conscious.

On my first visit I purchased a few items.  When I used them at home, I was hooked.  I loved the products so much that I picked up trips with Vancouver layovers specifically so that I could go shopping at Lush.  I would stock up on products to last several months, and when they ran out, I’d find another Vancouver layover to stock up once again.

Since that time, fortunately, Lush has opened stores in the United States, including one more geographically suited to regular visits.  Products can also be purchased online.

I continued to enjoy the products, especially the bath bombs, butter creams, bubble bars, and bath melts. These items would all make a great gift, alone, or in a nice gift basket. 

In fact, here are some personal recommendations:

Bath Bombs:  butterball, Karma, or honeybee.
Butter Creams:  heavenly bodies, almond dip.
Bubble Bars:  creamy candy, Karma, French kiss.
Bath melts:  creamy candy, you’ve been mangoed, melting marshmallow moments

    “If you were rescued from the sea by a passing pirate ship, scrubbed down with lemons then invited into the pirate king’s personal hothouse (where he houses his exotic plant collection), then you’d smell just like this. (Unlikely, we know, but pleasant to imagine.”

    I know, aren’t those descriptions marvelous! The copy writers must have so much fun coming up with something creative.

    I like their fresh face masks but those don’t keep for longer than a few days or a week tops.

    I have tried the fresh products, but given my lifestyle (and never knowing where I’m going to be), they haven’t worked out as well for me. They are wonderful products, though!
