Easter has officially arrived in Lush with bunny bath bombs & eggs on legs, but gutted shoppers bash ‘ridiculous’ prices
BEAUTY fans have been left raging as a well-loved high street store launches it’s Easter range, with some calling the prices “mental”.
Lush is one of the UK’s favourite beauty stores, with its natural ingredients and themed products making it stand out from many other businesses.
However, it is not the cheapest brand on the high street, and it’s latest product launch has left shoppers questioning whether it will be the next business to close its doors for good.
Included in the new range is the Easter Bunny bath bomb, which is priced at £10.
The 240g bath bomb is made from lemon, bergamot and grapefruit oils and promises to bring “juicy freshness”, to your bath.
However, the bath bomb is only a one time use product, which has led some shoppers to deem it far too expensive.
Also included in the collection is the Eggs on Legs bath bomb, which is the shape of an egg cup, and is priced at £12.
One shopper, clearly impressed by the range, recently shared a picture of some of the products to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group.
Captioning the post, she said: “Easter has arrived at Lush!” alongside a heart eyes emoji.
The post soon grabbed the attention of Facebook group members and racked up hundreds of comments.
One person said: “I love Lush but the prices are getting absolutely mental
“I mean £10-13 for a bath bomb that you use once, wow.”
A second person said: “Who is paying a tenner for a bath bomb.”
A third added: “I can see them being the next ones off the high street with those prices.”
A fourth chimed in: “How are they even still in business these days with those prices?
“It used to cost a bit more than other shops but that’s ridiculous.”
Are Lush bath bombs worth the mess?
Lush superfan, beauty blogger, and freelance digital writer Beth Mahoney revealed her thoughts on the lavender Lush bath bomb. She explained:
“There’s no arguing with how fresh the Lush products are, and how many natural ingredients, like swathes of dried lavender, are packed into their products.
“It’s also important to understand that the Lush bath bomb range is designed to create an immersive bath time experience.
“Instead of being just another basic bath fizzer, the Lush bath bombs are made with quirky, unique and unexpected features, from dissolvable eco-friendly glitter and wheels that actually roll to hidden centres and lashings of dried flowers.
“I’ve tried out a lot of Lush bath bombs and the Lavender Deep Sleep bath bomb is one of my absolute favourites. Yes, it makes a little bit of a mess when it spurts lavender throughout your bathtub, but it smells totally divine and leaves you feeling relaxed and calm.
“For removing bath bomb remnants from my bathtub I either wash them down the drain – after all, everything used in these products is drain-friendly – or allow larger items (like petals) to be caught in my drain catcher, ready to be disposed of.
“If you’re not a fan of the mess that bath bombs can sometimes create, a really great hack for preventing bath bombs that expel ingredients into the bathtub from making a mess or clogging the drain is to pop them in a mess bag before dropping them in the water.”
However, the range does still include plenty of cheaper items, such as the Cheep Cheep bath bomb, which is £3.50, and the Follow the White Rabbit bath bomb, which costs £4.50.
Sharing their love for the Lush products, one person said: “I need a trip to Lush.”
Tagging a friend, a second person said: “We need to go look!”
A third added: “How cute are these!”
