Why do you buy/use Lush?

I think I buy Lush because the products are unique. There aren't many other companies I buy products from, period. I often buy from 'green' or enviromentally friendly companies and Lush right there with them. I like Lush because the variety of soaps I can choose from, the unique bath products (they were the first to do bath bombs and no one else does bubble bars) and I like scents (yummy Karma and HIWTK). I think I pay the high prices because I can't get dupes of the products, so they are worth it to me.

Oh, a lot of posters have already beat me to the punch with this one, but I'll list my reasons for loving LUSH anyway. 1) the scents - Really, I can't think of a company that has scents like LUSH. The scents just seem more real. I remember that after I started using LUSH, I went back to an old Body Shop product to use up the bottle. My boyfriend got one wiff of me and informed me that he liked the other stuff I was using a whole lot better. It seems that this one smelled too strong and too fake to him. 2) Less irritation - I never really considered myself to be someone with sensative skin, but once you realize how much a better a milder product works on you, you can realize that you were abusing your poor skin for years. For instance, I can't use products from Bath and Body Works. Their heavy perfumes make me sneeze and dried out my skin something awful. And yet, everyone I knew just loved the stuff. I found a few items from the Body Shop that worked a bit better, but then I found LUSH. I never thought that I would be able to skip my usual regiment of covering my entire body with lotion after a shower...but LUSH products can let me do just that sometimes. Amazing! 3) Skincare - Fresh Farmacy had done such amazing things for my acne that I could cry. Seriously, not even the dermatologist did as good of a job. I will never use anything else as long as LUSH keeps making this miracle product!

I first discovered Lush when I dropped off a resume to work there one xmas. When I got the job, I quickly learned all about the company and the products! I was attracted to them because of their environmental policies, reduced packaging and preservatives, and absolutely no animal testing. Now I have my staples, which are mostly skincare items I have to have, because they simply work better for me than anything else I've ever tried (and I've tried out a LOT of different brands).

I would have to agree with all the reasons listed above. I buy LUSH becuase it's more environmentally friendly .The Body Shop used to recycle, but they don't any longer, in fact the last time I brought some clean empty bottle by for recycling, the SA looked at me like I had 3 heads. I also love the fragrences from LUSH, and like 5000ml I have been spoiled by them! Now when I smell other products, I can smell the chemicals...and the fake "fruit" or "flower" fragrance. But most importantly I love the results I get from LUSH products. Most especially the skin care. Fresh Farmacy and Aquamarina have really changed my skin for the better. I also really like the sold shampoos' They last MUCH longer and my hair (which is cury/frizzy) has much better results. All that said...there is a limite to the money I can and will spend on LUSH. Right now I am definately picking and choosing "must have" products, as opposed to buying for treats.

I buy Lush because their skincare products work well for me. I used to buy Lush bath bombs exclusively until the price hike. I have found that I really like a lot of Fantasy Bath bombs and it doesn't hurt that they are much cheaper than Lush. I will probably still buy Lush bombs and bubble bars occasionally though.
