LUSH - is it worth it?

I love Lush stuff for my adult acne. I've tried harsh chemicals and stuff from the doctor but natural products from Lush seem to have done the trick for me. I LOVE Fresh Farmacy cleanser - I swear this has sorted out my spots. I put Grease Lightning on my whole face at night if I have a bad breakout and my skin is so much better in the morning. I also use Breath of Fresh Air toner after cleansing and as a freshening spritz. Cosmetic Warrior mask was the only hicupp I had - my skin broke out so badly like never before but I took it back and exchanged it for Catastrophe Cosmetic (with blueberries) and that was fantastic, it totally calmed down my skin and got rid of the redness. Ocean Salt is lovely but quite harsh so I wouldn't use it too often. I also recommend the Colour Supplements, they mix really nicely with moisturiser to make it tinted and you can put it straight onto blemishes as a cover up. Vanishing Cream is great as a day cream if your skin is oily. Always ask for samples, as long as you don't take the p*** the staff are normally really good and you can return products that you haven't got on with even if they've been used.

As you canprobably tell I'm a bit of a fan

Many thanks to the resident LUSH devotees/addicts for your advice. Hubby arrived with the Lush goodies for DD, privately telling me one of the products he bought he worked out costs E 196 per kilo. (men!) It's only been 48 hours but already DD's skin has cleared up 30-40%! Which is more than all the other potions, lotions and scrubs did - so looks very good. I'm very impressed and so is she, great to see a smile on her face - I think her skin was really getting her down. Expensive, a bit but not overpriced and we probably spent the same amount anyway on trying everything else and in looking at the ingredients I think some of the recipes I could replicate at home. Now planning to use some of the C'mas stocking money for LUSH goodies for the other DD's as well. In case I gave some the wrong idea - it wasn't her only birthday present. I didn't want people to think I'm a mean mum!

Does anyone know if Lush will send samples to someone who has never bought from there before? I really want to try a couple of things but it's expensive if they don't work or are too harsh for my skin.
