Oh my goodness, it's the most wonderful thing in the world! Being logical, I decided to tackle the store strategically and started in the basement which is home to the spa and therapy room as well as massage bars and candles. Although I've wished for Lush candles forever, I found the scent of these seemed a bit underwhelming and they were pretty pricey so I didn't get one. Pro tip: Since the candles are encased in bamboo, every one is a different size. Keep an eye out for the largest ones!
The ground floor is home to skincare, haircare and make up. I will call this the Floor of Wonders because everything is huge! Tubs of shampoo and shower scrubs the size of my head, 1 litre bottles of shower gel fragranced with the likes of The Comforter, Lord of Misrule and Yuzu & Cocoa. (Imagine what it will be like at Christmas! A litre of Snow Fairy? Yes please!) The make up range includes solid eyeshadows and lipsticks that I cannot wait to go back and try out! Then there are the truly innovative new products such as showder (a shower powder) and washable postcards!
Up the stairs to the first floor reveals the bath products. Brand new bath bombs and bubble bars as well as classics reinvented, such as this gorgeous new take on my favourite Green Bubbleroon, and pick and mix bath oils in a range of sweet, musky and fruity scents. To one side is an area dedicated to gift sets and, beside the floor-to-ceiling windows, an area to sit down and play with Fun to your heart's content!
I came out with a bag stuffed to the brim with brand new products that I cannot wait to try out and review. Of course it wasn't enough though, so I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
A litre of snow fairy?! I will faint with joy. I didn't know this was opening, so would have gone down Oxford Street to check it out, alas I am clearly out of the loop hehe.

This looks AMAZING! Those big bottles have may name all over them!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to go there, I could just imagine me falling in love with Lush all over again :D You look like you had a good time too ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that might have the melomint bubble bar because I've been trying to get it but it's been out of stock for ages so finger's crossed hehe!

Looks amazing, ive never owned lush, im afraid it might bring me out in a rash as i have very sensitive skin.

Wow, it looks absolutely amazing! I so hope the new make up products will be available everywhere. *Runs off to check the website.* I was a huge fan of the make up their sister company B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful made, but they folded and God, I miss their make up! I love that some of it's back in Lush form now, but I wish all of it was! Definitely need a trip to London to check the new things out. :)
ReplyDeleteI need to go here so bad. Alas I'm in Australia right now. Back home I live on the border of Wales but would so go to London purely for this shop.
ReplyDeleteOh this place sounds amazing. What did the candles smell like? Have they got many different scents? I'm a sucker for candles.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your review of their new products. I'm going to Wembley in a few weeks to see the Foo Fighters, so I'm hoping I can make a day of it and go via the new LUSH store.
They've only got the one type of candle and it's a very, very subtle scent. Quite fresh but hard to really pinpoint.
DeleteThe shop looks like a magical wonderland I can't believe how huge it is! Xx
