Lush Sale starts 27 December

I was told in the covent garden store it was only certain gift boxes (eg the Christmas ones), so it wasn't necessarily a great deal.

I got the Candy Christmas box for free though, worth £16.95 for free, and it has alot of my yearly faves in there, so Im quite happy!

The actual terms of the store offer are that you spend £15 and you can pick anything that was made in 2005 (except for the normal gift boxes) for free.

Christmas gift boxes are included which is why people take those I think.

The skin care products are generally the most expensive, the two fragrances they do are about £25 too, you can ask them to cut you 250g of any of the soaps as your free gift, the big bottles of shampoo and conditioner also retail at about £10.

Hope that helps with the confusion :rudolf:

I wouldn't save lush stuff for twelve months. Because it's made fresh from real ingredients a lot of it doen't last very long. Anyway it's too gorgeous not to use.

I've never bought anything from Lush. When I go in to look I'm always overwhelmed by the amount of "stuff" and the fragrance of everything is a bit too much to spend any time in there! I'd get a headache if I had to be in there for any length of time I think...lol. Anyhow, what products would you recommend and why? I'd love to buy some stuff so a few pointers would be much appreciated.

Hello Petal
I always felt the same as you I used to hate going in the shop because the smell was so strong it made me feel sick. However one year one of my friends brought me a gift bag for xmas which I promptly put in a dark cupboard because of the smell! About a year later I had run out of bubble bath and thought what the heck I would try it and it was wonderful! I have only really tried the soaps and fizz balls but my fav is the bath slices, they are so so relaxing.....sometimes i treat myself. I would be interested as well to hear what other people recomend.

i know what you mean about the overpowering smell, i find that i can't shop for long in lush which is good cos i would end up spending too much money!

I love their products and would recommend especially:

- the bath bombs - I like to buy the ones with dried flowers in them as it make the bath water look so pretty - it is a pain to clean the bath afterwards though so I usually save these ones to be used when I'm staying in a hotel!

- the face masks - cupcake, which smells like chocolate muffins is great for oily skin, and these is a seaweed one as well which leaves the skin feeling lovely

- Big - its a seasalt shampoo that gives my hair lots of shine and body

- the facial moisturisers - shangri-la is the only moisturiser that stops my very dry skin from peeling in the winter - beats any of the expensive skincare brands hands down - I know cos I have tried them all

- the body creams - dream cream is brilliant and very gentle on the skin.

- finally - the massage bars - they are solid blocks of massage oil that melt when you rub them onto skin, they smell heavenly and are lovely to use. i also use mine as a body moisturiser when my skin is feeling really dry - just rub the bar over your body when you get out of the bath/shower

Don't know if it's the same everywhere but i spent £31 & got 2 free gift sets both of which had 10% off vouchers valid to June 30th 2006.Worth keeping if you're a regular Lush shopper

Thanks Yenners and Notakid - I may just go and treat myself now I know what to look for! The moisturisers and massage bars sound really good...I have really dry skin. Do the products last long as they're made with fresh ingredients? Expensive?
