#i can't believe i ranted about lush lol

[feralseraph]

Lately I've been watching a lot of videos about Lush because YouTube recommends them to me. Watching videos where people complain is weird because some of the deal breakers that led them to never even glance at another lush product are silly while some are legitimate.

A lot of stuff at lush is expensive, that is very true. I mainly buy soaps that last for a while or jelly masks which have a longer shelf life than he fresh ones. They justify their high prices bu saying everything is handmade with high quality ingredients, which is probably mostly nonsense but idk how business works. Like, I personally wouldn't buy a $7 bath bomb bc I dont like taking baths.

Things being discontinued is always sad, but that happens with most companies? Idk just seems like an odd reason to be upset.

Treatment of employees is definitely a concern. I feel like people think lush is some cutesy little business where everyone is a family, but that's not how multinational corporations operate. It really sucks and I feel bad for employees tbh.

Not liking newer products makes sense, some of their new things seem really silly. But, if you try it out in store like just don't buy it?

Also, I've bought bath and body products from actual small businesses and that shit is still expensive. You're not gonna get that kind of product for Walmart brand body wash prices. That's just not how it works.

Idk also maybe its just who I am as a person, but most of the things at lush I would never buy because I can't justify spending that amount of money on something like that. I only go to lush every couple of months and I never let myself spend more than $25 and i try things out, ask a lot of questions, and get samples.

I can't believe I ranted about this, but yeah idk lush is a big business like any other its fucked up that they treat their employees unfairly but its not surprising based on what kind of business they are. And handmade bath and body products are always gonna be expensive ime so. Also don't spend all your money? Just don't?
