Lush

So I have been thinking of trying LUSH lately, but man it isn't cheap. I wanted to try their shampoo, conditioner and sleep balm, but I am to chicken to fork over that sort of cash and not like it. Can any of you all give me your thoughts on their products? I wanted to go to a better for my hair shampoo if I could.

I think their stuff is utter crap, but I make my own soap and scrubs. I HATED the way my skin felt after using their bath bombs. So drying. Also, I haven't researched it myself but everyone on the soap boards say that there is NOTHING organic about LUSH. Like I said, I haven't look at their list of ingredients but this I know:
A) soap is not organic. There is no lye tree. Lye is made, therefore no soap can be organic. It can be homemade from the very best ingredients but it's not legally organic. Speaking of legal, the FDA has rules about what can legally be called, "soap," and I really have no idea if LUSH is making soap or, "beauty/bath bars."
B) very few scents in soaps are organic essential oils because, well, they're very very basic. Mint, chamomile, eucalyptus--BORING. Nothing I've smelled at LUSH has been one of those scents. Besides, "fragrance oils," are cheaper and big companies are all about the cheap.
