omg as a linguist love the map with country names written in their native languages

I actually like some of their stuff, but I refuse to pay the prices.

I am a home based soap maker and to me their products were garbage. I was horrified by the “fresh” products they were selling. They are real lucky nobody died from bacterial contamination.

I really love Lush products but still use small business skincare too. Lush is just a treat every few months.

I can't get past the door: the smell gives me a headache.

I like both of your ideas for longer videos.

I used to love lush I stopped buying from them after they did an anti-police window campaign

Soon as they stopped selling Jungle I was outta there lol.Love to support Canadian co,pansies but the aggressive sales pounce and push to buy more things I didn’t want made me hate the company

I never looked very deeply into the Lush/Body Shop stuff. I always assumed they were owned by the same parent company to milk both sides of the ensuing consumer war, because they were so incredibly similar...

I remember when I used to work in retail one of there hr aproched to hire for lush when I read the contract was just slavery to get 2,days off you were obliged to work 60 hour a week no lunch break I was on the spot no thank you bye since then never steped to this day in any lush shop

Chemist here who focuses on science communication and cosmetic chemistry. 👉🏼 I think part of their downfall could also be growth of science education and higher education among consumers about greenwashing - and the understanding that natural is not better, but actually often times worse for the environment (synthesising vitamin C or menthol in the lab is much "cleaner" and more eco green than growing and watering plants, harvesting them, transporting them in cars that use fuel to factories, extracting them etc). We are not feeding everyone on the planet. We don't have space to grow all cosmetic ingredients.

If you need insider tea dm me

I like their Grass stuff.

I spent way to much money in the past but in my opinion The skin care never worked for me and the shampoos and conditioner smell good but hella way toooo over priced! And the bath bombs are just a waste of money lol The only thing i ever buy from lush now is the lord of misrule perfume…thats it….

I worked for Lush and it was horrible! Forced to annoy all customers for little pay

Ngl Selena and her stans are so stupid and fake I don't think they would actually care. She'll just take another 20 minute social media break and her stans will victimize her for being "bullied" Elton and Miley aren't grifters like she is.

Worked at my local lush for two seasonal years, they taught us such predatory selling practices and would constantly keep an eye on you to give you 'feedback'. 0/10 job if you don't like harassing people

Haven't set foot in Lush since a sales assistant swiped lotion up my arm without asking first. To make matters worse, when I complained online I was told "Oh, they're trained to do that!" as if it was a reason why I was being unreasonable. I'm allergic to lemon grass; if it had been a different lotion she could have put me in the hospital.

I don’t think people really understand how expensive the raw ingredients are and how much MORE expensive the ethical raw ingredients are. I’m seeing a theme in the comments and no it is not going to be the “standard” to be ethical bc that requires the whole word to be ethical and the reality is that is not possible. What is possible is to find the few and far between that choose to do the right thing. Also palm oil is not all bad and there is very so ethical fair trade palm oil

I remember I worked at a DavidsTea (canadian here!) (was another culty brand selling loose leaf tea on a country level and took a lot of marketing and product inspo from companies like Lush, Lululemon, Starbucks, and The Body Shop). While I was working there part-time, I'd been approached and harrassed by one of the Lush managers in the same mall to come and work for her. I was flattered at first, but I was also a student, so I really only had time for the one job and I told her that, but she just WOULD NOT STOP. If I wanted to shop at Lush, I had to buy online or go to another mall just so I wouldn't have to deal with her. Another time, I went into another Lush that I wasn't familiar with, and within 30 seconds of talking this worker GRABS my arm and starts scrubbing shit on it. Without asking. I was super taken aback. Thankfully, I didn't have any allergies! I left super quickly.

Fabulous video!

I was SOOO WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO 🤍👀

I stopped buying from Lush because of their spy cops campaign. Whilst I agreed with them on the issue itself the execution was atrocious and made it appear that uniformed police were problematic. Also hated shopping in store due to the aggressive helpfulness staff were trained to provide.

I love lush bath bombs and shower jellys and even their bubble bars but other then those items I feel I can get similar stuff from elsewhere.

I’m still the ‘victim’ of Lush…. I can’t stop myself buying their stuffs especially when I step inside their flagship in Oxford Street…. Although I know the price point is ridiculous but the experience using their products bring me back to my childhood 😢😢😢😢

I remember loving the different shapes and colours and smells of Lush. I loved their philosophy behind the brand, but somehow over the years they disappeared from my radar, so to say. I think they are still getting sales because I’ve saw a full store in Barcelona when I visited the city (I didn’t enter the store though). Sad to hear all negative things workers have to say about it. I never bought a lot of things from lush (maybe a body cream, a couple bath bombs and a lip scrub - I do remember loving the lip scrub - it was pink and smelled like candy😊). I remember once having a solid shampoo in a bar and I hated using it! I got my hair stuck all over it. 😤 lol

I'm a Casuals employee meaning i work only a few hours a month. I'm a Realtor full-time but it's ao sad the experiences people have had working in other shops. 😕 I love it but it's also my hobby job and not my main source of income.

Go woke go broke%!

I remember being a young kid during the rise of lifestyle/beauty UA-camrs with massive hauls of Lush and Bath and Body Works among other brands. Lush was definitely a status symbol because preteens certainly couldn’t spend much there. Now that I’m an adult, the products are fun for a gimmick but too expensive for daily use and not high performing enough for what they are.

I hate Lush. Whenever I pass by the Lush shop, I immediately get terrible headache. So whenever I smell Lush I run away.

Oof way too boring bye

Their prices make it so that their products are out of reach for me personally but the last time i did splurge for them was their spongebob collab and honestly i would buy it again it smelt so good and left my skin so soft. Great video once again!

All those smells are ridiculously strong. I couldn’t even go in those stores

I love Lush....

I love their Eau Roma Water toner and a bottle last like a year so I buy once a year. Recently we went into one being wanted to finally buy that one ridiculously expensive cream they sell. Tested it and it felt different. So nah. It was supposed to be part of my 35 th bday gift. I got a bath bomb and a massage bar because those are amazing. I was going to get more of the Sleepy cream but the prices on everything sky rocketed and I was just like I’ll find a better one that last. Like I know this sounds horrible but I have silky underwear powder I’ve had for a longggg time along with foot powder and it’s still fine 🤷🏻‍♀️. But I can’t pay $12.50 for a bath bomb. I got the sex bomb just as a bday treat and the last time I bought a perfume from them it stained my clothes (yes I applied it properly etc) so I don’t trust their sprays. But also do they order in now?? When I used to go employees would be making them etc and I watched an employee grab a bubble bar out of a box for a customer. I’ll get my toner and I do like their soap but nothing there is special enough for that much money. Also it’s gives me and my husband headaches being in there 😖

There was a knocking shop in Leicester called the Booty Shop

Just walking past a Lush shop used to break out my skin and give me headaches I couldn’t believe people thought it was “natural” 🤣🤣🤣

I have worked for Lush, and I have to say that I had a phenomenal experience out of all of the retail shops I’ve worked at. It’s extremely dependent on the shop manager and team. Sometimes there was micromanaging but at the end of the day, my job was to sell. The complaints about this is true, but you must remember this is how capitalism works. Lush as a company, their prices, their sourcing, is all justified in my opinion for the quality that you receive. It is still a luxury sustainable brand, not everything is for everyone.

I’m in the lush Reddit and EVERYONE in there is getting pretty fed up with the product quality as of late…something’s gotta give.

Ah, lush. I didn't really find that the whole activism side of it was ever for me even tho I did find it a good thing if more companies support good causes small or big. I just genuinely loved the natural vibe and smell of the products but hated getting jumped by workers. Im very sensitive and socially anxious and being in such a sensory overloaded place I just want to browse and dissapear in my own thoughts and daydream before buying anything so getting disturbed and followed made me really uncomfortable. I also got the sense that the workers were forced to by this particular manager figure that always had this evil sadistic aura about them looming from the back of the store. After a while I noticed I had to mentally prepare to go there and try deal with it and that combined with the ridiculous rapid increasing prices made me realise its something I can miss altho I still occasionally wish I could go in when walking by 😂 kinda sucky if they go down cause the products are nice. But I do feel like they might need to change it up a bit.

Also a former Lush employee here. I remember one of the first training videos straight up telling us ‘Lush is a cult’, I thought it was just a cute joke but no. I am definitely not the same person I was when I first applied and I had started talking in my sleep trying to upsell products to my boyfriend. The kicker is winning a best seller competition but still being fired a few weeks later because I’m not forcing myself onto customers enough 🤘🏽

Ten years ago I worked at The body shop in the Netherlands and honestly: the work was pretty boring but my co-workers were lovely. I had such a great time, a lot of good memories.

Liz Bennett. Hm? Jane Austen, I see you.

I don't really notice pricing at Lush because it's treat I only get once or twice a year when I visit an upscale mall. I'm always happy with what I get, but they can't stay open on customers like me.

I worked for Lush for a year. The manager sexually harrassed me constantly. Asked me to send him naked videos of my workouts, told me I must be like a cat in heat with my boyfriend being gone for work etc. when I shut him down, he stopped giving me hours. Other girls were getting more and I brought up what he did to me. They went silent and red. So the girls felt the need to send this man their nudes to get hours. I got in contact with HR, got an email back, and nothing came of it. I quit. Later the girls came to me and said they also sent emails to HR, and we all went unanswered. This company is shit.

I just had the strangest experience trying to apply for a job with them. Been with many companies in the beauty world, never had such a strange hiring experience in my 20 professional years…

What a great video! It reminds me of Rituals Cosmetics. They sell home and body products using ancient and Asian rituals as a selling point. They're popular in Europe with stores in many cities. However, they're also controversial. They complained about a large pride flag across from their Amsterdam office, despite participating in Amsterdam Pride. They faced criticism for strict makeup rules for women and requiring employees to cover tattoos (the first even got to the Dutch human rights council). They also often use cultural appropriation to sell their products. Despite this, they do very well financially for now.

I’m not a fan. Very disappointing 🐍

Your deep dives would be great series on Netflix. I wish they tapped youtube for content creators/producers instead of half the stuff they put out. I love these so much!

Lush has a hold on me to this day I’ve never used a better bath bomb 🥰
