The soap doesn't clean the skin. Come on, how can mashed up bananas and dried fruit really cleanse and remove dirt? They can't. The shampoo is debatable; some actually work pretty well - but here's why, they contain SLS, Sodium chloride and other sulfates. The same stuff that's in regalar, store bought shampoo. Bathbombs - again, come on! They are like 6-7$ and up, and last one bath, maybe 2 if your lucky. Cheif ingredient is sodium bicarbonate - google and see just how cheap soduim bicarbonate is. Why are they charging so much? I don't paying high dollar for a good product, and Lush has one or two items that I like to keep around, Jungle and body butter bars. Stuff that lasts. Otherwise I stay away from Lush, they are ripping us off with a big smile on thier Lushy facesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590156564811390540.post-10840770559556254442010-01-14T18:18:06.423+11:002010-01-14T18:18:06.423+11:00I agree with Ashwini...U feel like u belong to an ...I agree with Ashwini...U feel like u belong to an exclusive grp which common and 'lesser' average ppl cannot afford-like u've raised ur ranks!Simranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351447903795004052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590156564811390540.post-52350032537801742912010-01-05T23:06:53.059+11:002010-01-05T23:06:53.059+11:00@ Cynthia: I agree with you ...

She retails them too at certain select stores. & I know from her that each bar of soap that she makes doesn't cost her more than 50 to 70 Rs, depending on the mix of essential oils that she uses. <br /><br />Even with Lush's imported ingredients & all, I doubt it would cost them more than 150 Rs. per soap. They manufacture in bulk and as a result get more discount on ingredients than my friend does. & to retail the same soap for 800 Rs. is just a indicator of their marketing strategy and not of the goodness or the quality..Tanveerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816048020201421679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590156564811390540.post-56970202451694398242010-01-05T18:57:11.520+11:002010-01-05T18:57:11.520+11:00I totally agree T.

But maybe people wouldn't find it so appealing if it was cheap :P I swear... sometimes I'm in the store holding up a weirdly shaped soap @Rs 700-800 while looking at those globs they call bath jellies @ about the same price or more n think "WTH!!!"<br />Bottomline ~ Overpriced no matter how good the products are, IMO.<br />♥XX♥Cynthia Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09119795827982633341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590156564811390540.post-70537259088360413742010-01-05T17:32:34.158+11:002010-01-05T17:32:34.158+11:00@ Rima, Ashwini & Marce: Totally agree with al...@ Rima, Ashwini & Marce: Totally agree with all 3 of you.. :D<br /><br />Lush is trying to become an experience, so you go to their store, smell the lovely scents, feel warm & fuzzy all over, the products are a visual delight, I guess they are charging for all of this as well..Tanveerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816048020201421679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590156564811390540.post-55633038747251453272010-01-05T17:30:15.382+11:002010-01-05T17:30:15.382+11:00@ Divija: Come on Divs!

Sometimes a high price tag is worth it, and in other cases you can do your own scrub or cleanser. I think it's about what makes you feel good, even if you have been drawn in due to all the hype!Marcehttp://eltrendebelleza.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590156564811390540.post-15978557916021966672010-01-05T06:55:24.423+11:002010-01-05T06:55:24.423+11:00Lush is all about making you feel good for the sim...Lush is all about making you feel good for the simple sake that you bought from Lush.
