It's really unfortunate when, as a beauty company, you give the opportunity to demonstrate products that are meant to be relaxing for customers and one of your sales people has warts covering both of their hands. How am I supposed to react to a hand massage from them as a first-time customer who's told that Lush had amazing skin care and body products? Uncomfortable? Yes. Disappointed? Absolutely.
Even so, a friend convinced me to go back with her after I had decided not to shop there. After using one of their bath bombs I was really happy with how my skin felt and how I felt, but to be honest I don't even want to go back in the store to buy another because of my first experience there.
