Most of the time, even when we don't realize it, we're actually sold on packaging more than the product. And no body-care store has packaging as beautiful as LUSH. The store looks like a farmers' market and actually smells fresh—not like the fake sweetness of Bath & Body Works. Or maybe it's the fact that they “cook” all their soaps in baking dishes, giving them a slightly imperfect, homemade look. Then there's the colors; the bath bombs sparkle, the face masques are a rich garden, and the creamy soaps contain toasty nuts and dried flowers. It makes it all the more wonderful that the products themselves are nearly perfect—most items are made with organic ingredients and anything with synthetics or preservatives is clearly labeled. Whether you have oily skin, dried out hair, enjoy honey scents or want to smell like patchouli, LUSH has everything. The best part? Associates are just waiting to rub your hands with any and all products you want to try, and then you get to take home free samples.
