Lush products are not worth the hype and incredibly overpriced. I have tried many of the body soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and deodorants. I have received rashes from some products. You can read reviews on their own website - folks complain about this all the time. They do a great job of letting you know what they don't test on - animals. That's great, but I'm not sure they fully test their products. I think it's basic soap and they focus on the scents, which often cause irritation. My other issue with this company is their website. They list items on sale, but then these items are never available. Interestingly, the items that are in stock are not on sale. This applies to a single product where the size in stock is not on sale, but the size that's out of stock is on sale. It's just an illusion. You can find natural products at Walmart for an 1/8th of the price. read more

Located on the lower level of the mall right across from VS. First time in the store! They have soaps, bath bombs, scrubs, face care and other skin care. Typical price of a piece of soap would run you around $8-10. When you enter they make you hand sanitize with some sanitizer. This is to ensure your hands are clean for touching the items in the store since they are not wrapped. It was a bit confusing when we went to buy a soap as there wasn't any direction on how to pack it or what exactly the side should be. So I walked to the front and asked the only worker I saw. He explained to grab a bag and place the piece of soap in it that we are wanting to purchase. The store smells wonderful!! Nicely laid out store but on the rather expensive side for soaps. read more

I first came into this store about a month ago and the girl working was terribly rude. I didn't get her name unfortunately, but she didn't even say hello before asking me to wash my hands. There was practically no product on the left side of the store so I'm not sure exactly what she thought I was going to handle. She also did not apologize for the lack of products available. In fact it was another customer who offered her recommendations instead. Any time I receive poor customer service I pretty much leave immediately and so didn't spend money this time around. I went back to the store more recently to see if they had any bath bombs in and they did (yay!). This time around, a different girl was working and asked me to sanitize my hands after welcoming me to Lush. Already a vast improvement on my previous experience. She was the only person working and was clearly working hard, so I was patient to check out with a couple of people in front of me. When it was my turn, she didn't rush and still took the time to give me a sample and recommendations. Fantastic customer service for someone who was working alone on a weekend morning! I think she said her name was Martha (sorry if that's wrong!). I highly recommend the Ro's Argan body conditioner. The scent is amazing! 1 star for my first experience at this store but 5 stars for the customer service during my second! read more

4 stars cuz the greeter made only me wash my hands. Everybody else walked in without drama. Now Product n store wise i give it 4.5 honestly a lot of it is overpriced n u can get better deal elsewhere. Store clerks were hanging out by the corner chitchatting n the greeter was sitting on the table like he was at his house. "Wash your hands!" O_o ok...? Other than the bored employees. The products are great quality but the size vs price is a little off. I still gave them my business because I needed a hair conditioner bar n the shampoo bar smelled amazing paired up with the conditioner one. read more

LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics - Shower scrub and body butter - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Tampa, Florida

While walking through the mall in Tampa; a coworker pointed out the eggplant in the window display which got our attention and made us want to check the store out. I had never been to LUSH before. Zach was amazing! Upon entering the store he greeted us immediately. He was so friendly and informative about all their products and the company. He was very encouraging about trying samples of different stuff. He was also honest about what products were good for certain skin types. He never made us feel pushed to buy anything. I purchased a lotion bar and a massage bar. I haven't used the massage bar (saving for Vday with the hubby). But the lotion is amazing! My coworker purchased a few different things. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Here is why...after leaving the store we went to shop at other places. One coworker decided to sit on a bench and take a phone call. Fast forward about 30 minutes when my coworker came into the new store we were at I noticed her LUSH bag not in her hands. After looking for it we realized someone had stolen it. She immediately called the store and they were happy to replace all of her items. TALK ABOUT GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! read more

I've been a LUSH addict for years! The store at the International mall moved into a larger space in a busier location. With the expansion came an increase of foot traffic, and boy does it get crowded in there! I remember the days I was offered free scrubs and little massages left and right. Nowadays I can barely reach for my products. When the store is calmer the staff is ridiculously helpful. Hands down my favorite shopping experience at International based on customer service alone. Lush associates have a vast product knowledge and listen to your concerns before giving recommendations. They'll let you try almost everything you want in the store and generously give take home samples. My favorite skincare products are the exfoliating soaps like Coal Face and Fresh Pharm, Breath of Fresh Air toner spray, Imperialis moisturizer, and Catastrophe fresh face mask. Masks are made fresh with nutrient-packed ingredients and are refrigerated with a shelf life of about a week or two. Several to choose from for every skin type, scented deliciously enough to want to taste. Lush is environmentally friendly and very much against animal testing. The boxing bunnies logo says it all! They'll gladly recycle your empty product containers. Bring five cleaned pots at once and they'll give you a free face mask in exchange. The charity pots are themed in a variety of campaigns that your hand lotion purchase proceeds go toward. The pricing is reasonable considering the jacked cost of most effective skincare lines. Some items are expensive for the quantity but you can't go wrong with having soaps cut into sizes with pricing you're comfortable with. If you'd like to celebrate a special occasion they take Sunday night appointments after the mall closes to pamper you with their amazing products. Get living the Lush life! read more

I have been a huge fan of Lush for nearly a decade, especially when I had even more disposable income. Now, I see it at a place to treat myself whenever I can for my go to self care headquarter. Lush reminds me of a Farmer's Market, but instead of fruits and vegetables, it's for soaps, perfumes, face creams, perfumes, etc, and I believe Lush intended it to be that way. The moment you walk in the store, all your senses are awakened to the sweet smell of the different soaps and the vibrant color of all the products neatly on display sans packaging. One thing I loved about Lush besides the fact that they make great products that are all natural is that they are eco conscious, and you can bring five clean pots in exchange for a FREE fresh face mask (at least it used to be like that). The smells here are incredible, taking you into a heady space of nirvana that I can spend all day in. My top pick is their enzymion moisturizer that I dont go without because it is HANDS DOWN the BEST skin primer I've ever used for mineral makeup. Very little go a very long way and it lasts for several months, practically balancing out the high price tag. Another product I just used and am now in love with with is their sleepy time face mask. I've always loved their face masks, but i stopped buying them because of the short shelf life and needing to be refrigerated. However, that's luckily not the case for their Sleepy time mask. The smell is incredible, and relaxes me right away as I shower and eventually rinse off leaving behind soft, smooth skin. They also have a coffee mask thats equally great, but that's best for use in the morning when you wanna wake up. Both are exfoliating and are great wats to treat myself. Eventually i'll get around to buying their bath bombs again as luxury item. read more

Love the new items that are being shared, especially the Knowledge bath bomb that helps with educational improvements with each purchase. My go to Ultrabland facial cleanser does wonders for my skin & I'm so thankful to have discovered it. I'm also obsessed with the massage bars; trying out two new ones with my most recent purchase. My boyfriend also has severe sensitivity to artificial fragrances, so whenever he & I travel together I get the Big shampoo and a conditioning bar since neither of those set him off. Love this location too; the employees are always incredibly helpful & kind, plus their knowledge about each product is so vast! read more

I'm late to the Lush party. I thought this just opened, and realized it's been at the mall for years. The best thing about Lush is its seasonal items. What perfect gifts! This year they have such cute Halloween products out. From glittery pumpkin bath bombs to black & orange marble soap. According to an associate, the Christmas items are going to be incredible this year too (2017). The associates were enjoyable here; they were friendly, but not pushy. They left me alone to browse, which I appreciated. I'm kicking myself for not asking for samples, because I was very conservative with my purchase - I don't want to spend $$$ for things I'm not sure I'll like. Once I come back, I'll be a little more assertive. And I will be back. read more

LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics - Lush Halloween Bath Bombs - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Tampa, Florida

My friend said these bath bomb will "change your life" and she was overselling it, but I bought an expensive bath bomb and I can see that it's kind of cool to do once in a while. It turned the water blue and sparkly, and I was relieved when it didn't also turn my skin that. There were a few employees there and they all seemed very welcoming and able to answer questions. They even offered to give a sample of something if I saw something that captured my eye (I was distracted because I couldn't find my credit card, but now kicking myself I didn't try something). I love good customer service and interesting products. They are on the expensive side but they seem like they have better quality items than you can get a drug store if you are seeking that. It's not a place I would shop a lot, but I really enjoyed it as a shopping experience. read more

Amazing Amazing Amazing Elsie catered to the Bday gift I purchased and left me with giveaways.

Always amazing customer service. Love the selection of products. Each staff member is very knowledgeable of the items in store. They make you feel very comfortable with making a selection. From the bath bombs to the lotions and body butter I would recommend this location! read more

I stopped by to grab the largest bottle of Snow Fairy body wash that I could possibly get. I missed out on it last year. And apparently, I missed it in the store this time as well. But...luckily, Zach was able to help me out. HHe let me know that it could be ordered online and sent to my home. He was awesome! He took his time and explained everything and was able to take my order and get me in and out of there very expeditiously. He made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. I appreciated that a lot! Charlie was also very personable and helpful. She introduced us to a new jelly-type product that was really cool! My hubby, whom hardly ever shops with me was in the store and he requested I buys him some for Christmas so I guess we know what he's getting...lol I truly LOVE when you walk into a store and they make you feel as if they truly want to assist you . Not turning their nose up at you or acting as if you aren't there. But instead...actually try their best to help you. And point you the right direction for the products you are seeking. As well as explain new things that you may not know about. Now that's "GREAT" customer service! Thanks Zach and Charlie! We will definitely return!!! read more

This Lush is lame. It is too small. Service is not good. What's the point of saying good bye to me when I leave the store when you didn't even help me when I needed help. The display of facial masks looked messy and nasty. I know they are pre-packaged and in the fridge, but they should look inviting, and refreshing, and not all gross like it's been sitting there forever. I wanted to buy them at Mall of Millenia when I was there last week, but I wasn't going straight home. They looked way better there, and the store is bigger and neater, and service was nicer. Maybe I will go to Brandon Mall one of these days and get it there. Thats the closest Lush other than International. read more

I absolutely love the bath soaps at LUSH! Located on the lower level of International Plaza, near Neiman Marcus (aka: Needless Markup), LUSH offers a variety of handmade, cruelty-free bath and beauty products. All of the soaps and bath bombs at LUSH come in bright, fun colors and cute shapes and smell absolutely heavenly! My favorite item at LUSH is their bubble bar because it creates big, frothy bubbles and they come in such unique scents. If bubbles aren't your thing they also sell bath bombs that contain fragrant oils. Besides bath products LUSH carries a variety of skin products such as lotions, lip balm, face scrubs and masks, perfumes, and makeup. The products are a little on the expensive side (the soaps and bath bombs range from $5-$10) so I don't indulge often. Usually I just buy the shower gels since they last longer, but I do love it when my husband spoils me with bath soaps from this store! read more

Do you like things that smell delicious? Do you like things that can make YOU smell delicious? Would you love it if these products were all handmade and not tested on animals? Then it's settled. You'll love it at LUSH. Hair care, shower gels, bath bombs, perfumes, a full skin care line... They've got it all. And the people here are fabulous! They are so nice and knowledgeable that I NEVER get nervous about asking for help. Most times I don't even have to ask. They come right to me, and make sure to help me find everything I need (and things I didn't know I needed). Try LUSH the next time you want to treat yourself. read more

LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics - I smell amazing thanks to this little wonder right here - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I like Lush. They make cruelty free bath bombs and bath wash, and everyone who works there is super enthusiastic about their product. This is a great place to buy a nice gift for someone, and usually the salesperson will give you a free sample of something to take home for yourself too. I have heard that people with sensitive skin sometimes react badly to their products, but I haven't had a problem. read more

LUSH!! This is by far my personal splurge! I love their bath stuff. Their bombs and fizzies and everything in between. Anything and everything that can go in water to make it smell nice and make my skin soft that's hand made and not tested on animals? Yep, that's Lush and I buy it. I just picked up 3 of the new, but limited ones for the spring season, and I'll be sad when their gone. *sad face* but I'll have fun using them. So if you're a bath fanatic, come try Lush. read more

If 0 stars were possible I would give that for service. Blonde girl working Christmas Eve was rude, had an attitude, and not professional in the slightest. Her green hair co-worker was no far behind. Both rude to me and my husband. For customers who spent over $100 I'm not happy. I have been there many times and they have always been pleasant experiences. read more

This is a delightful store to walk into if you enjoy smells that are relaxing and tantalizing. I did not find it over powering but honestly drawing me in. The store is small and quaint with combinations of items for the shower and bath that benefit your skin as well as your mood. I was warmly greeted being welcomed to the store with inquiries about what I was looking for and what could they show me. I was not disappointed. From the moment I entered the store I started to relax and that is what I explained to the lady that greeted me; that I was looking for something earthy and very relaxing like a bath salts, with scents similar to a patchouli or sandalwood. She prepared a demonstration a small pale of water to possibly assist in the choosing processes. Taking in the different aromas up close was unique, satisfying, and made it difficult to choose. The first one she showed me was the Honey Bee Bath Bomb that had a delightful earth smell that I really could not part with. A couple of others were nice but not what I was looking for: one was very citrusy and another smelled like clean linen. Both would have been delightful given a compatible mood. We ended the sale with a brief discussion about soap making and the different processes; it was pleasant to end a purchase with a discussion embedded with knowledge. I really appreciated my visit. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I have been in the store several times and purchased an item here and there, and I always love the products. I cant commit full-time though because while amazing, they are a tad pricey. The sales girls are wonderful and will glady demonstrate any product on you, which is usually accompanied with a hand/arm massage. They make it so hard to not buy something...good sales tactics :) some of my favorite products are 1) Bath melts...a little different than a bath (fizzing) bomb. It literally melts in the bathtub and the water becomes fragrant and super moisturizing for your skin. I also got a couple goodies for christmas which I love-an avocado bath bomb, a garlic and witch hazel face mask, and a wonderful lemon-y body exfoliating bar. All products are natural, no added crap and smell amazing. SO, so highly recommend! read more

I had been introduced to Lush by a friend who loved it and I was excited to try some fun new products. One of the wonderful sales associates suggested a few products that I did end up buying. One I was looking forward to was a powder-like bar of dry deodorant. I had been curious about natural deodorants and gave it a shot. After a few days of use a friend points out my armpits looked weird. The white deodorant had discolored my skin, giving it a red discoloration that lasted for months. I had to wear long sleeved shirts and sweaters so people didn't think I had a rash. So unfortunate, if the products were a little bit better quality and didn't discolor my skin it would be worth the price tag. read more

Let me tell you how this place turned around my whole day! Everyone here is so amazing amd happy and I want whatever they're on! I had an awful day at work and they whisked me in and took care of me so well! The manager Megan was so amazing and helpful (even hugged me - I'm gonna cry) and then Chauncey (sp?) was so helpful and informative! And last time I came in was my first time and John was so helpful in finding me the perfect skin care. Love this place and everyone who works here!! read more

I love this Lush location. Once or twice a year I'll go in and treat myself to a bunch of goodies, they're expensive but worth it. Everyone who works here seems to love their job, it's the only retail store I can honestly say I've never had one bad experience at(regardless of location). Not sure what they're doing, but they must be doing something right to have such happy employees. I have issues using bath stuff you might find at Sephora or Ulta, either my skin goes crazy or the smell overwhelms me and gives me a headache. The girls and guys at Lush are always willing to let me try anything out in the little basins they have set up in the store, and have never steered me wrong with their recommendations. They even give out free samples or will cut you a small piece of the bar products so you can try them out cheaply. If you love pampering yourself now and then you really can't go wrong with lush. The only drawback is when you're walking through the mall to get there and the people who work in the various booths/stalls attack you. I had one guy actually put a skincare product all over my hand as I was walking by! Washed it off as soon as I walked into Lush, crisis averted. read more

For years, I've heard of this brand but never got around to trying it, figuring it was another pricey Sephora-like brand. Was I wrong. This store has the best personalized service. I walked out with a ton of stuff. Got 2 bath bombs (rose & dragon), the charity pot, their serum (surprised me that it was a smallish bar, but you swipe it on your face), the sea & salt scrub, and the Godiva hair bar, which I used this morning & made my hair smell like a midnight garden. The gold here is the service. I absolutely adored the woman who served me (and its killing me that I can't remember her name), but she was so knowledgeable about all of the products that it spurred me to enthusiastically buy. I remember her saying she was from Largo. read more

Lush is definitely a must during any visit to International Plaza. Love their everything~ (all they're missing is the spa!) read more

I've had been a long time fan of LUSH and my Mom used to bring me their bath fizzies and bath bombs home from trips to the UK long before we had many stores here in the States. I still love their bath products and they have a fabulous range of scents with all sorts of cool inclusions like rose petals. Unlike some other bath and beauty product stores, LUSH always smells good to me - not overwhelming with scent and not headache-inducing because of the strong, fake scents. I had seen LUSH's unique face and body products - whipped up in store and some refrigerated for freshness - at stores overseas and in other cities, but I'd never had a chance to try them until I discovered this hometown location. I was on the hunt for an oil-based cleanser for winter, as my combination skin manages to be oily in spots and flaky in spots during the cold, dry months. A very helpful staff member pointed me towards Ultrabland, did a demo on my hand, and provided some great usage tips. Oil-based cleansers can be counter-intuitive as they work best massaged in dry and then wiped away with a warm, wet cloth. Wet your face first and you can have a lot of trouble getting them to work into your skin. While $30 for a small pot seemed like a lot, it lasted me over 6 months of occasional use since I rotate between a few cleansers. Also did wonders for my occasional winter dryness. I totally love this product. While I was there I also checked out their shampoo bars. I ended up going home with Trichomania and I loved the fact this bar is cut off a huge block. Most of the pre-cut product was in much larger sizes than I wanted and again, great help from the staff, as my helper happily cut a smaller sample wedge for me that lasted about 10-12 shampoos. It was great to get to try this product, even if I don't think solid shampoo is a great choice for me as my hair demands the extra moisture of major conditioning too. Overall, great location with an easy-to-browse layout and super helpful staff. read more

I had been to a LUSH store before (in WA) but quickly ran off due to pushy sales ladies and pricey items. I was still really interested in the products though, so I decided to try again at this store. The store set-up is very appealing. The items are arranged by section- shampoos in one area, bath bombs in another, you get the idea. For each item there is a tester and a little description of what each procuct is good for. The sales lady I spoke with was very informative and helpful. She was more than willing to let me test several items. She massaged my hand with the massage bar, tried some facial cleanse on the top of my hand over a little bowl of warm water, let me try some lip scrub-etc. Unlike many other sales ladies at other LUSH stores I've been to, she suggested items to me based upon my interests but did not make me feel under overwhelming pressure. The help is great, but at some point I like to be left alone to just browse in peace. As other customers came in she worked her way over to them and I had the opportunity to browse. I call that the best of both worlds. read more

Slowest checkout ever. They had 6 employees and only one on the register. I counted 13 people waiting in line to check out. Unacceptable. I left my items there because I didn't want to wait to check out. read more

I visit lush locations frequently, I just wanted to mention how great the service was. Jessica helped me at this location and she leaded me in all the right directions and even recommended better products. Looking forward to trying them! (Coal cleanser, mask of magnaminty) I have to go back and get the butter bar, which is their shower lotion. read more

I love my Lush bombs especially Ups A Daisy. I have been here 3 or so times, and every time I have gotten wonderful service. The first time I came was just before Christmas and it was PACKED. Everything is made with the freshest ingredients that somehow work together to give you great products not to mention not tested on animals, huge plus for me! I also recommend Vanishing Cream and Mask of Magnanimity, purchased them both last time and been loving them ever since. read more

So this week has been so rough at work. I was making sure my daughter had fun bath after recieving honor roll and decided I needed one too. I had my friend run with me to the mall so i could run in and out- I rushed in and was grabbing the things I wanted to use my gift card on and Chauncie was there making sure I was taken care of. She told me about the new facial products (amazing and I did end up purchasing the Sleepy Face) and doing it so in a quick but caring and informative manner. After she made sure I got everything I needed Bernard checked me out and was just the best. He chatted with me but got me through quickly and Zach made sure that I felt appreciated and welcome the entire time. On my way out- Mia made sure she thanked me for coming in and routed me on through my run to the car. This all sounds so silly but its the little things (that are actually huge) that make all the difference. Of course LUSH has top products but this store has the BEST employees. I feel like I have a mega jump on my weekend and dont even care that I have to drive 30 minutes to work tomorrow. Like- lets freakin go. read more

Lush has amazing, unique, and great smelling natural bath-bombs, bubble bars, shampoo bars, facial cream, and much more! (Visit them to see what else they have!) I don't really buy bath-bombs or really anything special for myself, but I made the exception for Lush products! I am so happy with their products and I wish I lived closer to purchase them more often! Their products will cost you more than the average Walmart product, but you are paying for quality and natural products that go beyond Walmart or other cheap products! It is a must try!! P.s. Honey Bee is my favorite bath-bomb from them but it is being discontinued!! Hurry up and go to Lush and try this amazing bath bomb before it runs out!! read more

Today was my first time at Lush and Joe made sure I was informed of everything & was open to any questions I had. He was extremely helpful and kind. I ended up buying a face scrub, moisturizer serum, and many different samples. Thanks joe for everything! read more

I love, love Lush!!! From their bath bombs to their cosmetics..everything is just amazing. Each of their products are environmentally friendly as well as being free from animal testing and they are all 100 percent vegan. I am trying to change my beauty products to be animal testing free and I love the fact that everything in this place is free from animal testing. Every one of their employees are incredibly friendly and are never pushy and they are incredibly knowledgeable about the products and what is the best suited product for your needs. On my most recent visit, I checked out their shampoo and conditioner. The Blousey shampoo and the American cream. I requested samples to try them out before I spend money on them and the people at lush gave it to me without being pushy. Can't wait to try it out!!!! Granted, you will be spending some money but for the quality and being ethically right, you will be getting your monies worth!!! read more
