And no, before anyone asks I didn't wear a false beard,big hat & sunglasses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Fab.....How did you get chosen to be a mystery shopper? I'd love to do that! Funny story about Lush coming up. You know how they sell Skinny Dip in flatish plastic boxes.....well.....I bought some recently and absent mindedly left it it on the kitchen table. Him Indoors came in, pottered around in the kitchen and then shouted up the stairs "I don't reckon much to that new cheese you bought.....it tastes of soap!"

The Dogmother Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 That made me laugh Egluntine.. what's Skinny Dip then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 So what did you wear then?!?! Crocs,of course Nice story Egluntine I got to do this via the Lush forum (Yes, there are other forums you know!) I don't post there much but go there to keep an eye out for new products & offers, & this came up I would love to do more mystery shopping - its right up my street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 That made me laugh Egluntine.. what's Skinny Dip then? The box says " a soft creamy cake of vegetable soap mixed with vertivert, cocoa butter, coconut cream and aloe" Smells absolutely heavenly. I love it. I imagine it would taste of soap though!

Couperwife Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I love the bath bombs from lush. I buy them as christmas and birthday presents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner.girl Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Have never been a mystery shopper but i am a lush addict! Butterballs and and the pink marshmallow bath floats... Mmmmmm I buy way too much....Even OH quite likes their mens range of shaving creams - though refuses to share a bath if i put in a particuarly girlie (read glittery!) bath bomb! I love Lush... Must go and browse forum - do they need any more mystery shoppers Sarah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 They have a list Helen & call people up when they need them - you can register via the forum. The Lush in Reading is situated right by the door of the main shopping centre,so I have to brace myself to try & walk past it every time. Its the smell that gets you first,right at the top of the escalators....you can almost see peoples noses twitching. I don't think I have ever made it past the shop without popping in, & once I am in there, well thats just fatal The new Champagne bath bomb is to die for, & if anyone has curls like me theres a great new shampoo called Curly Wurly with coconut in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I have a confession................ I have never yet been inside a Lush shop (maybe I'll have a go next weekend) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Nor have I Laura... I hate shopping, as does OH and every time we walk near one, he complains about the **** awful stink. I've never dared to venture in. It IS rather overpowering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner.girl Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I have a confession................ I have never yet been inside a Lush shop (maybe I'll have a go next weekend) Laura! Theres one in Crawley! You should go! I have to travel half an hour to get to my nearest Lush (Carwley or Brighton!) You've got it on your doorstep - lucky girl! The smell is overpowering but the individual things smell so nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I do walk past the one in Crawley Helen but as Annie says it's the overpowering smell that puts me off! but then everyone here talks about the lovely things to buy so I'm going to be brave , hold my breath and go for it!!

Guest Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Disappointingly the soaps are all full of SLS and SLeS, so I don't buy them. DD1 enjoys them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 The smell does me in too - I always start sneezing. SLS's... hmmmm. Will avoid that then; I've just got rid of most of my eczema by avoiding them, so I'm not about to start again if I can help it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 My favourite Lush goodies are Dream Cream, I love all the Karma fragranced stuff ( the perfume is gorgeous ), I like rock star soap and I adore the bubble bars ( I buy the blue & white one that looks like swiss roll ) - is it blue skies or something...it smells of Patchouli! The shower jelly is good fun too - but I don't like those shower ice cube bags that you feeze. Far too shocking first thing in the morning. The curly wurly shampoo bar sounds scrummy. Only got wavy hair - but I love coconut smelly things. mmmm Mystery shopper eh? Ooo I'd love that. I remember when me & my sister were little, my mum had a fridge full of white wrapper mini milky ways labelled A, B, C, D & E. Us children had to eat them then tell our mum all about the texture, taste etc. We had strawberry milky ways, banana milky ways etc. Free chocolate. God knowa how she got involved in that??? But our mum was popular with the other children in the street due to her milky way store! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
