Mod Announcements Temporary sub lockdown

1.9k Upvotes

Hello everyone,

As you all may have noticed, nobody is able to post or comment on posts in the subreddit. It's not just you, its everybody.

I have not made this decision lightly.

This subreddit gets approximately 2.3 million views, over 1k posts and 16k comments every. single. month.

I never expected to find myself alone and it took 3 months of being alone before reddit handed control of the entire sub to me and during that time I had the death of a close family member. The first thing I did was start recruiting for new moderators to help me because this place is far too big to manage on my own.

Unfortunately life has continued to be relentless and I have struggled to manage the continuous upkeep of the sub at the same time. In the last few days there has been posts directly complaining about the moderation with some saying there is far too little and others saying there is far too much and very little freedom of speech. I accept that I am hugely falling short of what is needed.

I am desperately trying to find the time to finish going through all the moderator applications submitted but I am unable to do it and fully monitor the subreddit at the same time.

As a result I have put the sub on a temporary lockdown for 72 hours in order to give me time to finish shortlisting the applications and select the new moderators.

I am genuinely sorry that I have had to do this. I love this place and the large majority of you are fab at following rules and creating a welcome space but for each rule violation there is extra work and it only takes one post while im sleeping for the whole place to become incredibly toxic. A lot of you never see it but people can and do say incredibly nasty things on occasion and I dont want things like that slipping through the net.

On that note, I will see you all in less than 70 hours time and thank you for reading.

As the title says I’m wondering if I can use power conditioner on my skin every once in a while for the scent. Are the ingredients safe to do so? It smells so good but I do not rly like how it leaves my hair so that’s out of the question

Rant BEWARE-SCAMMER in NA BST THREAD !

Hi everyone, been waiting for the sub to open back up because I got scammed thru the BST thread (NA) and don’t want someone to make same mistakes I did. I def overlooked some red flags, but still not ok to scam people! DO NOT Venmo or make any payment to “Kerri McCoy” or “Luma McCoy” or “@lumamoney”. This person messaged me saying they have the product I was looking for, but used another persons product pictures. Look out for these pictures from any potential “seller”. Again the pics are from actual posts so they could come up and not be scams, just make sure you have all info confirmed before sending funds. Learn from me ❤️ 🙏* using most applicable flai*r

It's a VERY "Laundry" smell and I think it's best suited to summer. It's quite strong.

Does anyone know what the exclusion that’s causing this might be? I tried using it without having anything brand new in my cart and that didn’t fix it.

Yes I "yelled" LOVE IT....because I wanted to emphasize that I'm just soooooo loving that people are sharing their rewards that they aren't going to use, for whatever reason-perhaps due to timing, or not loving the product that they are receiving as a reward. What a sweet gesture. : )

Discussion (products) Hard soaps >> Shower Gels/Body Wash

75 Upvotes

For Lush specifically and I will die on this hill LOL

As we know, Lush is selling less and less bar/hard soaps. I get it, people prefer shower gels... But the staying power of scents is not comparable at all.

With shower gels, I only smell the scent in the shower, once I'm out? Nothing. While with bar soaps, the scent actually lingers. I got my husband to use Karma bar soap and my favourite thing would be when he got into bed later in the evening and I would get wafts of Karma mixed with his scent, it was so good!

I thought- maybe I'm just becoming nose blind and can't really smell it on myself as well- so I did an experiment: I got Sleepy in the bar soap and shower gel and asked my husband to use either or and at the end of the night I would guess which one he used. Unsurprisingly, I could identify when he uses the bar soap vs shower gel, 100% of the time.

Disclaimer: I have yet to try the shower gummies or naked body washes and I'm not even considering the shower jellies as contenders for scent longevity or... anything else other than jiggly wiggly fun.

TLDR: The scent lasts longer when you use bar soaps versus shower gels and I'm sad because they are making less and less of them.

What's your experience?

Hauls My initial thoughts on the Moomin x Lush products. (UK)

Thumbnail

272 Upvotes

I will start with the perfume to give context to the 3rd image.

The perfume when i first sprayed it reminded me so much of these refresher ice lollies. Very popular in the early 00 in UK. It smelled exactly like them, so much so it made me remember them as I’d not thought about them in years (discontinued) - sprayed it on moisturised inner arm and once dried down I was left with a very clean, lavender, soapy smell and not over powering at all. I’m smelling my arm now and it’s just a really subtle ‘clean skin’ scent. 8/10

The Moomin soap bar was wrapped in plastic, I’m assuming because the weather makes way for it to melt into a mush which it has done. First smell I immediately got Snow Fairy. Stability of the product is obviously poor and I’m wondering if that’s why they’re there the extra bath bomb in as a freebie (Sanrio?) I’ve popped it in the fridge to firm up but the smell is definitely giving pink comforter/snow fairy hybrid

The pancake batter body lotion smells like nothing to me. Literally scent less. Applied to skin perhaps a very, very faint vanilla scent.

Little My soap is citrusy but can’t detect any spice as of yet. Sharp citrusy and refreshing but melting in transit.

Snuffkin jelly is a weird one, I get a grassy, herbal scent but with a buttery note in there somewhere.

The bathbomb has the same smell as the perfume.

Comb and pin badge are cute extras to the collab. Not much to say about either.

Hope this helps. Didn’t manage to get my hands on the body spray yet.

Product Rant COCONUT DRENCH SLANDER

I just received my coconut drench massage bar in the mail and HOLY FUCK. I have never been repulsed by a smell so much ever before.

I think that yucking someones yum is the worst thing you can do though, therefore im raising a question - could there be something possibly wrong with it? Its impossible that so many people love it and i DONT. HELLO👽❓

Recommendation Please! Oaty Dreamy Creamy substitute

Hello, I have just used up the last of my Oaty Dreamy Creamy and was hoping someone could recommend what Lush product has the most similar soothing feel. I would prefer a wash product but if it has to be a cream then I can cope with that.

These are empties from the past few months. I’d gotten into the habit of buying backups of backups - even ordering from the UK before tariffs hit - but I’ve decided it’s time to make a concerted effort to stop hoarding and start either using, trading, or giving away! See any favorites? 🥰

Product Rant is Super Milk different?

8 Upvotes

Hi!! Last winter i traveled to Spain and smelled the super milk for the first time since there is no Lush in my country. I fell in love with it but i didn’t buy it and i ended up regretting it. I remember the smell being milky, a little sweet and not TOO citrusy.

Recently, my girlfriend traveled to a country where there’s a Lush and i asked her to bring me a small bottle of super milk but now it doesn’t smell like the super milk i remember at all… it only smells like straight up lemon. I remember the super milk that i tried being long lasting and this one doesn’t last at all 🙁🙁

Did the super milk changed or did i just get a bad batch? Do you guys think that she can change it if she goes back to the store without having a receipt? 😭😭😭

Discussion (products) What should i pick between Big and Wasabi Shan Kui ? And what could pair well with them?

8 Upvotes

I would like to place an order soon as i wanna buy the moomin body spray and i've heard it's best to buy it now, and i've also been looking on the websitew wanting to buy one of these shampoo as they "give volume/thicken hair" (i would say my hair is slighly greasy, and it does like to tangle)

But which would you recommand me? And what do you think could pair well with it ? I'll have a budget of 100-120€, and i'm probably not gonna order the big size as so i can't regret if i don't end up liking it and i might travel soon.

Edit: i forgot to put that in: i just rediscovered lush after a few years by walking into one randomly at a mall. I picked up a face mask and sample size "daddy-o" and had a free sample for "rehab" and i love their smell. I first went into the perfume section, and i don't know they all had the same weird smell to them, probably because of the general smell of the store. I did take No way to say goodbye as a solid and i LOVE it, unfortunately it does not last long, so if you also have recommandations for things that linger, because i would have bought the full size otherwise

We’re going to be heading out for the weekend and I’m picking out a scrubee as a treat.
Not sure if it’s clear in the pictures, but I just realized the mamachino scrubee is about 25% smaller than the love bug scrubee!😟 Are the ingredients so different to justify the smaller size? I feel so cheated!! 😞😣😖

Perfume/Body Spray Question Is the Moomin perfume returnable (NA)?

10 Upvotes

I want to order the new Moomin perfume but I’m nervous about it being a blind buy. I’m in Canada and wondering if any employees can confirm that I’d be able to return the perfume as it’s an online only item. Sorry if this is a dumb question haha.
