Also, the staff practically leapt on me the moment I walked in and that's one of my biggest bug bears when shopping so I didn't want to buy anything after that. :rotfl:

Oh I'm exactly the same UK0106! It's the one thing that I don't like about Lush. One pounces, you say you're ok browsing and they move on, 2 seconds later another arrives... I know they're probably told to do it, but honestly I find it so frustrating!

My first UU of my PP today...Lush Cup O'Coffee face scrub. I really like this, so once I've cleared out some more exfoliators, it's a WDBA. If the staff don't harass me too much

Another UU today my two hot oil treatments. Can't believe as they have been on my PP list since I started these challenges and this month I did not put them on as I thought 'never going to use these up so what's the point' :rotfl:- typical !!!! Never mind they are gone.

I have a few ins and outs I am not counting. I went mad last night and just put a fistful of nail varnish's in the bin. Then today a lot of Garnier freebies to review came through the post so I don't feel I can count the nail varnish!

I haven't been in my local Lush for two years and actually told them why! They probably think I am a whiny hag, but I know so many people who avoid the store, but don't tell them why. The thing that sent me over the edge was I went in to buy a few things and I was approached 7 times in 5 minutes. The last person actually just followed me around the store and made endless comments about every item I picked up. I told every one of the them that I didn't need help and did know all about the products I was looking at and they wouldn't leave me alone. Arg!

What's also weird about Lush is if they ask you if you're looking for something and you say yes, they take you to the product and then take you to the till. I don't understand that. If they'd let people wander then maybe they'd buy more. I don't like going in. It's the same with The Body Shop.

Another few ins to report, Which were a couple of Christmas present.

Lacoste touch of pink perfume, body lotion and shower gel

Baylis and Harding pomegranate and fig bath salt, body lotion and body wash.

My bomb cosmetics order has also how dispatched. Excited only in my excitement I forgot to add a massage bar and lip scrub I wanted, but never mind I have a shop nearby that stocks lots of bomb so hopefully I can get them there instead next time I'm in that town.

So much for my other lush order being dispatched today... They promised people they would dispatch remaining orders today. Mines still processing and many many other people's too.

I haven't had a response to my email from Customer Services either!

They have over 4000 emails to answer. You can either wait or phone. I ended up phoning last night to sort out the broken bath bombs I had received.


I hate being hassled in any shop. I don't get it in my local lush as they know me but other shops I find they don't know when to leave you alone.

18 nature republic sheet mask WNBA nice enough but a bit sticky, I will have lots of these as I am going to target this brand of sheet mask to get rid of them and since I have over 20 I am trying to work my way through them and am trying to use up one a day.

Ooo I like the 6 by Spring challenge.

I'm going to choose:
Benefit Foamingly Clean Facial Wash
Benefit Dallas
Benefit longwear powder shadow in call my buff
Benefit longwear powder shadow in kiss me, I'm tipsy/it's complicated
Benefit longwear powder shadow in gilt-y pleasure
Maybelline chunky kohl pencil

I know I have 7 but I alternate kiss me, I'm tipsy and it's complicated so I'm counting them as one.

I have a couple of uu's

Rituals Himalaya Wisdom Salt Scrub 265g - WNBA. I enjoyed using this overall, it has a basil and mint scent which is lovely but I dropped a lot of it in the shower which is not so good, it does the job but it is expensive and the most annoying thing is the outside of the pot is twice the size of the inside - why?? When I google this product the pots are 450g so I'm not sure why this pot was smaller.

Morocconoil 2 x 25ml & 1 x 10ml - these were all poured into one bigger pump bottle (a hair oil I had previously finished), it is nice but I would prefer something cheaper. I have a full size bottle of the light version in the stash to try soon.

Glad to see I'm not alone!

I like to browse in my own time, swatch items and I don't make decisions about products quickly so I feel under pressure when the staff start following me around commenting on everything.

OT but It's actually the main reason I chose Sofaworks when I was looking for a new sofa because they wait for you to approach them instead of following you around the store like a stalker. I get enough of that at home with the dog!

I'm on the naughty step today. Despite declaring a "no buy" yesterday, I popped into Boots to pick up a click and collect parcel, buy an eyebrow pencil and under eye concealer and ended up also putting two Revlon foundations into my basket too. Somebody needs to take guardianship of my debit card.:rotfl:
