A LUSH noob's underwhelming experience.

Dec 20, 2009 23:33

On my trip to Las Vegas earlier this summer, one of the main things on my to do list was to try out LUSH products. I stumbled onto the website years before and agonized over how I couldn't smell the products in person, but luckily I remembered they have a store in Mandalay Bay.

When I was picking out my bath bombs (I wanted to take advantage of my hotel room's jacuzzi), I was dismayed at their weak scent but chalked it up to a nose overwhelmed by casino cigarette smoke.

Then I used them, the whole bath bomb in one go. The smell was just as weak as before and in the water, it was even more of a disappointment. :( My question: is this typical of LUSH bath bombs, or was I unlucky enough to get a stale product? The LUSH store was in the middle of a huge shopping mall and was right across a restaurant, so I figured that they had to keep the scent level down and had low product turnover because of less demand.

Going on that rationale, I have a feeling I should give LUSH a second chance. Any shopping tips for choosing a bath bomb next time? I'm probably going to buy products with longer use the next time I go there, like a massage bar or dusting powder, but the information is good to have anyway. :]

Thanks for reading!

EDIT: I should add that I got Big Blue and Avobath.
