WTF Wednesday: Lush versus Us - Are you judging your bath bombs too harshly?

Today we give some Lush bath bombs a try! Do they stand up to the hype or do they fall short? If anything I hope they make you feel better about your bath bombs! Whether you're doubting your bath art (or lack of it), frustrated with the dreaded poof (when your bath bomb hits the water and puffs up), or concerned about your bath bombs being dusty, dented, cracked or chipped, I think this WTF Wednesday will put your mind at ease!
(Also... let's all take a moment to realize how important customer feedback is to your brand and DO BETTER than what we see here!) 😉
HAPPY MAKING! 🤗

    Sad thing about that bath bomb, people have been leaving comments that it feels like GLASS from over 2 years ago, and they still continue to use the same glitter, you can't tell me that someone has not complained enough about that to the powers that be and they still continue to make the same "nightmare" of a bath bomb!!!! Great customer relations LUSH!!!!

    Lol I got out of that water so fast 😂… after a week of using Lush BB my coochie might never forgive me 🤣… I do hope they change it though because I have so many people who tell me they can’t use BB’s at all because they can’t use THOSE… it’s just not good all around when the result ends up having people think all bath bombs are created equal

So glad I bought your low humidity BB recipe, felt fantastic on the skin, so much better than this total rip-off!

    Haha! I mean I think Lush has some really good products, but at the end of the day they are a corporation and have to protect their bottom line. As small makers we should also do that-and one of the best ways is to approach customers complaints with an open mind! If people keep saying something is a problem then it needs to change! Which is where we can change the game and say “hold my beer, here’s a black bath bomb that won’t stain!” 😉

    OMG your BB was the most beautiful!! that black with the rainbow embed was like WOW! I think Lush is not the 'handmade' they used to be able to brand. They aren't being truthful and they are slapping them together. They are being wasteful. More isn't better. That's such a capitalist POV. I've seen the tours at lush.... it is a fun place with all of the huge vats of stuff.

    Well it is handmade, it’s just made in much bigger batches than ours with several people working on a batch at a time. I personally have nothing against them. They made bath bombs popular and now bath bombs pay my billls… I do think it’s extremely important for companies (big or small) to pay attention to customer feedback though! If people are consistently having issues then they really should fix it! Also thanks for the compliment! I love black bath bombs!

    They only stain because there are moisturizing ingredients in the bath bomb which I love! It doesn’t stain your tub permanently. Just rub it down with a soft sponge and use a shower hose to rinse it off. People are being to fussy about that particular “problem”.

    Ah! Mo Constantine invented and patented bath bombs in 1989 with her company, Cosmetics To Go! When that company went into bankruptcy she lost the patent. Later she went on to found Lush in 1995! So while Lush didn’t exactly invent bath bombs, the founder of Lush *did*… and Lush is arguably responsible for making bath bombs a household name, although it is possible that DIYers were playing with them before Lush came on the scene.
