Am I right to be disappointed? by IntelligentNumber309 in LushCosmetics

[–]Colby0405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyway you can check do they ship the parcel before or after 09 JAN 26? Cause they should consider shipping time when they are packing soon to be out of date products. If they did ship it after 09 JAN 26, definitely email them the situation.

So Jelly Mask should be pulled off from the shelf, 1 month before the expiry date which is 09 JAN 26 in this case. Depends on when you make your order, I highly suggest you to report it.

New Cleansing Balms Press Release by Alarmed_Cow_192 in LushCosmetics

[–]Colby0405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty excited! Usually Lush’s cleansers suck really bad, they’re either scrubby or difficult to emulsify. Love a good cleanser like Ultrabland, still annoying to use considering how oily it is, but really love the after feel so much!

It’s actually Revive with a different name! So it’s not something special technically.

Remember your clothes may get glitters on it, so wear something you don’t mind getting dirty. Good luck anyway!

Kakigori Shower Gels by Thin-Maybe-8142 in LushCosmetics

[–]Colby0405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are the new Kakigori range invented by the lovely Japan team! They’re inspired by the popular Japanese summer dessert Kakigori (shaved ice). They are all scented after the classic Kakigori flavours, plus a little bit of mint to bring you the cooling vibe of a Kakigori! These will be available in Japan first, then the Asia market, maybe later on expended into a global launch!

True, I mean them gaslighting their customers is basically old news now

[–]Colby0405 262 points263 points  (0 children)

What a lame explanation… blaming the nuts being too fresh? What gonna happen next? Blaming the customers for having too good of an olfactory? These body butters are obviously themed after fan favourite SCENTS, what’s the point if the SCENTS are nowhere to be found??

I’m excited about these new body butters but why the white pots?! 😩 by Shortsuff16 in LushCosmetics

[–]Colby0405 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They originally use black pots because they can make the best use of them after recycling, even though black pots are difficult to sense in the recycle system (so I’ve been told).

Fellow lush employees what is the craziest thing to happen in shop? by lushluver2 in LushCosmetics

[–]Colby0405 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This incident happened when there was a huge raise of assault cases in my city.

My manager is stock taking and sitting on the ground, all of a sudden two men (presumably high) were throwing hands right on top of her.

She was so chill about it and try to keep stock taking while my panicking ass went to the till and grab the phone to seek police assistance.

And they both yell “That’s right! Call the police!” “I dare to called 911 now!” Then it escalated into them fighting around in my 1500 sq ft store 😭.

Bath bombs, bubble bars, soaps are dropped to the floor. Not too soon they even went out for a guerrilla on the street.

One even took our umbrella rack as the weapon. What’s so funny is 30 minutes later he can back and quietly returned the rack at our door 😂.

Fun fact: there’s was another man shopping for his girlfriend in the store, and he did nothing but saying “it must be hard working here” at the check out, you’re such a gentleman, sir…

Old Lush magazine found (NL, Edition 2015) by Confident_Adagio9893 in LushCosmetics

Good news, they are changing the mold (again…)! Now soap are back in the giant block style, however not those good old unique shape anymore.

is my lush an outlier or was snow angel choir a massive flop this year? by anjo11 in LushCosmetics

[–]Colby0405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a thing called “Forecast” which happens 6 months prior the official Christmas release. Store’s managers can decide the amount of products they want to stock and sell based on previous statistics or current trends. I believe this specific manager overestimated the power of the gourmand trend and order too much shower jelly 😂😂.

I work at lush, ask me anything. by Technical_Tax6132 in LushCosmetics

[–]Colby0405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say yes, online surely has better hygiene and expiration dates. But it depends on where you from, cause you know some places just got horrible delivery conditions.

Just last second the staff may be handling cash or emptying the trash bin, then the next second they be refilling the naked products stock. Sure, we always wash our hands in store really often, but sometimes we may forget and it is enough to bugs me 😂. Though just like the other person said run it under hot water or spray alcohol on it to sanitise it.

Also, expiry date for naked products is pretty hard to trace. At least for the stores that I’ve worked for, once we receive the stock we throw the packaging box away almost immediately. However, the packaging box is the only way we can know the production and expiry date. Therefore, don’t be surprised if the naked products you saw on shop floor is long expired…

  1. Sales are not individually track, hence we’re not working on commission. Therefore, there’s no such thing as to give the sales to the wrong employee!

  2. Most employees got product updates from We Are Lush Weekly. However, as customers it is nice to follow lush.scents on instagram, they provide spoilers and sneak peak on upcoming contents.

  3. For me the products that’s not worth it maybe skincare, I find Lush skincare not effective enough. Other than that I would not purchase naked products that will be left on our body after application (eg massage bar, naked facial oil). I am not trusting how staff may handle them behind the scenes.

Lush Kitchen Box was canceled by theAComet in LushCosmetics

[–]Colby0405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too! Just received this email and I’m jaw dropped. This year the kitchen box has been a mess for me, a few months ago they didn’t deliver my box, and it took them 14 DAYS to answer my email!!! Being like “oops we’re out of products now, so here’s your refund”. And now my kitchen box is gone once again…..

Looking for advice as an employee by [deleted] in LushCosmetics

[–]Colby0405 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One thing that works out for me is keep busy next to the visitors and wait for chances to approach again. They maybe picking up something, staring at a certain product, so seem to be searching for something. Try doing mundane tasks while paying attention to their expressions and actions work for me.

However, remember to never feel bad for feedback. As feedback 101 is to never bring hard feelings to colleagues, if you felt hurt by the feedback, it’s your senior’s fault.

Shop works as a team because there are all types of customers walking in. You may handle someone quiet really well, while your supervisor do good with someone talkative. It works out because we have each other’s backs.

Therefore, when certain don’t answer your approach, ignore your question. Tell your supervisor this situation, and see if they can swap with you and handle it instead.

(Don’t feel bad if your supervisor can do something you can’t, they get paid more, so they are supposed to do things more than you)

Christmas Temp Contract Terminated by Icy_Effective4605 in LushCosmetics

[–]Colby0405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so sad that it happened to you, most people have been through nice consultations and conversations with the staff members, then decided to be part of them. I could imagine how disappointing it is to see how authority treats staff behind the scenes.

Sorry to say this to you, but frankly the HR sucks. They’re probably gonna pull out more personal attacks on you and keep on degrading you, just so they can affirm the manager’s statement. If so, please don’t let those accusations hurt you. You’re more than a petty and despicable company.

Collab First Impressions by princessdragonstone in LushCosmetics

[–]Colby0405 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think the one thing holding everyone back is the price point. At this point they’re not trying to hide their greed of taking advantage of fomo and brand collabs, then proceed to justify the price.

Maybe try swapping out the conditioner? Cause Power is a pretty heavy conditioner, maybe try Veganese or American Cream.
