hive mind: Lush?

[anotheranon]

Over the years I've heard a lot of good things about Lush bath/body products - as in, people positively raving about them, collecting them, trading with friends.

And while I love good bath products and am charmed by their witty product names (Buffy the Backside Slayer), my only experience with Lush has been negative - I got some bath gel that smelled divine but that made me itch. For all I know the bath bombs that came with it are still lurking somewhere in my linen closet, but I'm reluctant to bother looking for them.

However, I'm not in love with my shampoo or conditioner and am looking for other options. Any reason I might give Lush a second look, or would that just be poking the stick in my eye again?

Actually, it's one of those British things. I first found LUSH in London at Covent Garden and was really peeved that they weren't in North America. Well, now they are! As a matter of fact, they are in Calgary!

Happy sniffing!
(The stores ARE very strong smelling so be aware if you are sensitive to smells.)

Thank you for the rapid research. :-) And, ah, that address explains why I've never seen Lush ... Market Mall is sorta the back of beyond in this city, and as the NW is primarily suburbs and strip malls, I never have any reason to go up there (I live in the SE quadrant).

There's supposed to be some little shops selling sari fabrics up in the NW someplace, so mebbe one day I'll mount an expedition (Calgary traffic planners are dedicated to making it as difficult as possible to travel from one city quadrant to another, so expedition is the correct term for it) ... however, as I loathe being bombarded with strong scents, I'll have to be sure to make it a day when my sinuses are stuffed up. :p
