I mean it's not 100% confirmed yet. So I wouldn't take my word for it. This is just what's been said. It's to make room for Oxford street stuff which I'm happy about!

After reading this last night I broke out one of my mini-soap samples to try in the shower, I forget the name but it was really lemony and made me feel SUPER clean! Way cleaner than when I use regular body wash or bar soap.

Ordered a new shampoo bar today.
I decided to try squeaky green for my oily hair. Hah. Montolbano just didn't do it for me.

I have a store near me and I went inside to check it out.
Their bathbombs are quite cute and quality, but after using one , I felt like it dried out my skin alot.
Also I've heard alot of my friends said it tends to easily clog their drains for some reason.
I've yet to try their other products

A lot of their products smell amazing but they are an absolute disaster on my skin and hair. My skin gets really dry and the soaps always leave a film. I also don't like how much colouring they use - every time I've stepped out of the bath after using a bath bomb I'm some strange shade of pink or blue. Anyways I'm a fan of the scents but the products are really low quality, especially for the prices.
I did like one scrub that was full of salt...ocean something? I forget the name. That one actually did good things for my skin, but nothing that just rubbing some table salt on my face wouldn't do.

It depends on what bomb you use. Some of them such as big blue are packed with stuff. Big Blue has tons of sea weed in it for your skin. So I could see that being an issue. I usually just use my drain strainer thingy. You just lay it inside and it catches everything while draining.
Also in terms of drying your skin out, you could have just been using something not made for your skin. Every lush cleanser is made for a different skin type.

The film could be from the cream soaps. If you use a glycerine based soap they don't leave that lotion feel on your skin. I prefer the glycerin ones because I don't care much for the creamy ones. I don't like lotion or oily feeling skin.
And as said to the other person the cleaners are all made for different skin types, as the shampoos are also made for different hair types. It's trial and error. Right now I'm trying out different shampoo bars, but the veganese conditioner and the dry shampoo have done my oily hair wonders! They have shampoo for oily, dry, curly, damaged, you name it! Same for conditioner.
If you have a dry face there are specific cleansers made for dry skin. Also moisturizing your face is a must. So if you cleanse and don't moisturize that could be why!
And ocean salt.
That's an exfoliating face and body scrub. That's something I have a sample of right now. It's a once or twice a week thing, cause you don't wanna dry your face out. But it's very intensive and has lime infused vodka in it. It's cleared my skin up and makes it feel so soft after using it!
I'm sorry you had such a bad time with lush. But if you have any questions on what might work for your hair or skin you can always feel free to ask me if you'd like to give them another try.
Also, for bath bombs I would suggest lighter colored ones. I've never heard of skin staining. I have heard of tub staining but that's dependent upon what your tub is made of usually. People with porcelain tubs usually have problems. Mines not like that. But they have bombs like butter ball which is white, tisty tosty which is white with a few rose petals in it, ickle baby bot is an extememly light colored blue as well!

Yeah that's the one, it did have vodka in it! It was really nice. I don't know, I have really sensitive skin so lately I've only been using baby soap which works for me. And I'm a huge face moisturizer addict so that's not really an issue. Thanks for the recommendations though!
Is the dry shampoo that you use the lemon-scented one? Just curious because I found that it didn't work great for me, but I totally use it on my cat when she gets a little greasy XD

It's actually supposed to be grapefruit scented haha. I think it just has a subtle sweet smell.
But it just takes more time to work it in since it's a powder and not in a can. XD

Because this is a forum where you can post and talk about anything you want. Also, some people consider Lush a lifestyle considering it is free of animal cruelty, and is vegan/vegetarian. It's also very popular in almost every country.

Honestly, when you look at the ingredients they use, and the fact that they don't test on animals. The products aren't as expensive as you'd think. Most companies can afford to sell stuff a lot cheaper because they test on animals, they can't afford to pay people to test on. Lush has employees and family who will gladly test things for free! Plus, it's organic so some of the materials are extremely hard to find.
I am a little cheap when it comes to it sometimes though. I cut my large bath bombs (as long as they aren't layered ones) in half to get to baths out of them. I also cut my large bubble bars, like ultraviolet and the comforter into 10 pieces. If you swish that around it actually gives you a small decent amount of bubbles. I don't usually need the bubbles, I like the scent and they feeling it gives my skin! Also, the bigger bottle of shampoo/conditioner you buy the cheaper it actually is!
I love Lush. I'm not a bath person so the bath bombs aren't really my thing, but I love everything else. Today I received Curly Wurly shampoo, American Cream conditioner, Sympathy for the Skin lotion, a Strawberry Feels Forever massage bar, and a same of Dirty soap. A month or two ago, I got the Celebrate gift box which came with Happy Hippy shampoo, Lemony Flutter cuticle butter, Buffy body butter, Ocean Salt scrub, Dream Cream lotion, Sea Vegetable lotion, and a Fig and Leaves soap sample. I'll probably buy the Splash!, Rosie, All the Best, Honey, and Lushious gift sets eventually. I wish they had more gift sets without bath bombs.

See I like the bath bombs and bubble bars and such, it makes me want to take baths more often rather than showers, but my tub is so small! It makes it uncomfortable for me to take a bath any longer than like 30minutes. Which I kind of see as a waste when I know if I had a big tub I could lay for an hour or more.
I absolutely hated lotion before trying Lush lotion. I hated the greasy feeling. But lush lotion is so thick it doesn't leave that feeling and I've fallen in love with it. I found a small pot of the limited edition Celebrate lotion on eBay for super cheap, still within date. It's one of my favorite scents. It smells like lemon starbursts to me. I also recently got the Buffy body butter as well, my boyfriend thought it was a bar of soap and used it to wash his hands. He was really confused why his hands felt so crazy soft afterwords haha.

They don't sell acne creams. They have cleaners. And you must cleanse tone and moisturize for it to really be affective. They're cleansers are more of a solid dough like consistency and you add water to them to make it like paste.
They have some cleaners that are in a solid bar form though.

I'm honestly a huge fan of Lush. I have tried nearly all of their products and having nothing but great things to say about them! I absolutely love their shampoo bars and shower gels. Their soaps are great too. And of course, bath bombs and bubble bars are essentials in my house. Granny Takes a Dip is probably my favorite bathbomb, and Brightside is my favorite bubblebar.
the good thing is that with the lack of conservatives they dont last super long, or atleast not as long as normal products. so you cant buy more than you can actually use up in the coming weeks ^^
although people seem to still manage to spend large amount on this (just look on youtube for "lush haul" videos... really scary.. some spend like 300 or so)
bought 2 facemasks the other day.. gonna try one later ^^

there's also a german online shop. incase you havent seen. but i guess it's better to actually be in a store and look around anyway.
have fun there.
oh and they do have some products that help with acne .. forgot the names, but if you search "lush acne" on youtube there are a few videos that list some products.
(i think grease lightning and the cupcake facemask for example)
