I was so heartbroken when I heard Lush had this massive store full of exclusive products opening, and I was far too pregnant to travel to see it! So after my visit to Gorilla perfumes for their 1st Birthday, I thought I would take the opportunity to pop in to Lush Oxford Street and finally see what everyone has been talking about!

Though I was rather disappointed not to have made the opening day and get the chance to meet the creators, the store its self was never the less magical. Like a child in a sweet shop I found it very hard to ground myself and not fly from shelf to shelf. Three floors of bright colours, old favourites and new wonders to explore.

Once arriving, my eldest Son (who you might have seen in previous blogs and videos) who is a big Lush fan, darted to the 'Fun' area, while I started on the ground floor and was drawn to Lush's new make-up range. I was fascinated with all the unique creations, so treated myself to some brilliant coloured eye jewels and a stunning lip stain called Bamboozled. On the ground floor you can also find shelves mountain high with: shower gels, shower Jellies, showders and smoothie roulades. There is a whole counter displaying stunningly designed soaps and products to treat the face, hands, feet and hair.
The top floor is dedicated to bathing. I was so excited as my basket became full of beautiful new Bath Bombs, Bubble Bars and Bath Melts. It was at this point that I met the lovely lush employee Emma. She really understood my love of Lush and in particular the fragrances. She showed me around, and quickly came to recognise what products would appeal to me. In the centre of the room there are a number of little sinks where products are demonstrated, and towards the end walls, fabulously designed gift sets and Knot-wraps are stocked.
I went to check on my little man to find that he had already tested out lots of products before me! He went around smelling everything and showed me the items he had loved. He was thrilled that the staff members had taken the time to show him around and acknowledged his interest. It was so lovely to see him so confidently talking to the Lush staff, leading them around by the hand and asking what everything did. They had great patience with him and never made him or me feel like he wasn't welcome.
Another section that really delighted us was the 'Fun' area. It is a colourful, bright and spacious zone, stacked with a variety of exclusive Fun bars and tables where you can sit and play with them. We had a great time making lots of 'Fun' creations and chose the Mermaid Fun and the Aliens and Monsters Fun to take home.
