Lush Gorilla Perfume: The Smell Of Freedom
A delicious take on the traditional colognes except it has more depth, more character and is hugely more intricate. Think Acqua di Parma on creatine and steroids. As with all Gorilla Perfumes, this is also based on another wonderful adventure of Mark Constantine. The Smell of Freedom is a combination of three unique perfumes born…

LUSH Gorilla Perfumes Pop-Up Shop
Last week I was lucky enough to be able to visit the LUSH Pop-Up Shop in London’s trendy Shoreditch. The gallery is open until summer and features the entire LUSH fragrance wardrobe set in the most fabulously designed gallery, filled with intrigue, quirks, history and inspiration. I’d been meaning to get down to visit for…

An Interview with Simon Constantine at LUSH
You may have read my interview with LUSH technologist Jack, just before Christmas. Well now I’ve been lucky enough to get an interview with one half of the LUSH Gorilla perfuming pair, Simon Constantine, Mark’s son and asking him questions about their incredible new collection (you can read more about them here). Anyway, enough from…

LUSH New Gorilla Perfumes
A new discovery to me and I’ll say it now, these are true fine fragrances. Whatever your preconceptions of LUSH are, these are something else, the weirdest, most bizarre and incessantly addictive scents I’ve ever owned. They stand out as shining examples of true freedom of innovation, breaking all the rules. I cannot stress the…

Lush Grease Lightning Spot Treatment
A fantastic anti-blemish gel that can be used either as a spot-on treatment, or as a lightweight, bacteria killing serum. I’ve been using this since it’s launch a couple of years ago. I’ve always been highly blemish prone and instead of either denying it or just letting it happen, I’ve been able to effectively manage…

All The Best Lush Christmas Gift
Another fabulous gift from the house of Lush: All The Best. A luxury gift with a little bit of everything from the best of Lush. It contains the Sandy Santa body scrub, a smiling Karma soap and a heart-shaped Soft Coeur massage bar that looks and smells to die for. Then there’s Olive Branch shower…

An Interview with Jack Constantine at LUSH
Some of LUSH’s most successful product launches over the last few years, including the wildly innovative FUN, have been down to Jack Constantine, the son of Mark who started the company way back when. The LUSH family represents a rare quality in the cosmetics industry, weaving together passion, ethics, innovation, technology and excitement, they are…

The Good Hour at LUSH Ltd Spa Leeds
I have been a lover of Lush from a very young age. I honestly believe that no-one does bath and body quite like they do – innovative, fun, creative and beautifully thought out. We’ve seen the company develop and grow over the last 5 years, becoming a real force to be reckoned with in all…

Lush Ltd Fun 洗隊レンジャー
洗隊レンジャー, plastered on the front of all Lush Ltd’s FUN packaging translates as ‘Ranger Squadron’, so there you have it, it’s nice to put my University education to some real use. Ranger actually transliterates into Japanese so is pronounced ‘RENJYAA’; they do a lot of this particularly with English, French and German words. The best…

Lush Fair Trade Honey Shampoo
Now if you read my review of Laura Mercier Ambre Vanillé Honey Bath, then you may know what an obsession I have with honey and LUSH Fair Trade Honey Soap has only fanned the flames. This shampoo is part of LUSH’s beautiful new range of hair care, but this has to be my favourite —…
