I have only been to one Lush party - at the Pasadena Lush. I won a Love to Love You gift set in the raffle and it really made my whole vacation. In the goodie bag we got Large sample tubs of Bare Naked Ladies, Big, Karma Kream, American Cream, and Volcano. Small sample tubs of Imperialis and Roma Water. A 3.3 ounce bottle of Old Blue Skies And not in the good bag - just given we got Angels Delight, Jingle Spells and Christmas party.

I went to the regents street party, and i got an eggsnog, about 100g of champagne snow showers, a sample of sultana of soap, a big chunk of angel delight soap, a sample of sea vegatable soap and a bling crosby. Quite alot really, but i don't like some of it, but it was very generous.

I've been to one VIP evening last December, but it was pathetic compared to what other stores do :( All they offered was a free Eggsnog lipbalm if you bought 75 euros (about 100 dollars) worth of giftboxes :/ There was no goodie bag and the only contest they had was a Christmas quiz that was far too difficult. I think it was their first VIP evening ever (the store is pretty new) and even though I did enjoy myself (I got free drinks and snacks!), it was still disappointing.

That would be disappointing to me too.

I've only been to one lush party, it was the grand opening for the Troy (Detroit) store. it was super busy, i actually had to wait in line to get into the store for about 45+ minutes. I got a goody bag with Ol' Blue Skies is Back shower gel, happy talk and butterball. I also won a couple of bath bombs for answering trivia questions. I didn't bother asking for samples, nor did they offer any, probably because it was mad house in there.

Wow! 45 minutes is a really long time to wait. I don't know if I would have done it. I probably wouldn't have stayed in a mad house either... crowds make me uncomfortable. That's really cool their were full size products in your bag.

The best goodie bags are the ones with full size products. Let's see, once I got an full container of Karma Kreme for the grand opening of a store around where I live. I can't remember what else was in the bag though, but I was so excited to have it. Other great things that I've gotten are a full Comforter, small bottles of Olive Branch and Flying Fox, and the occasional full bath bomb. The last one I got wasn't that great though, and due to the increased prices and minimum perchase for a goodie bag (from $30-$45), I don't go to that many parties anymore. When it's time to stock up on staple products, I'm sure I'll go then.

What were the mininum purchase prices before?

In the beginning it was a $30 minimum purchase for a goodie bag, now it's $45. I know that the store loses a lot of product when they give out the goodie bags, but it just seemed like quite an increase. I suppose I shouldn't complain though. A lot of people never get to go to the parties.

I have never been to a Boston party but I always notice they have a $50 minimum purchase to get the goodie bag.

I went to a Lush party while i was in York, and a got some samples of soap in a goody bag. I also went to Hull Lush a while ago, and they had a sort of all day party going on and i got a bag with all sorts in it, i think there was a butter cream, a shower jelly, plus a fair few other things too that i can't remember. Full sizes too! I've been given all sorts of freebies over the years just when buying stuf from Lush, i think it helps if you talk to the SA's and happen to mention you're a forumite! Most recently i got a free soap in the free soap offer!

Since I don't live near a Lush and only get to go when I'm on a vacation, I email and let them know I'm coming ahead of time, and ask the best time to come in and things like that. They usually are generous with the samples because they know I don't have a Lush close by.

I've only ever been to one part too, and then I got Angels delight (quite a big slab maybe 150g or so) a karma bbs, eggsnog, tiny samples of sea vegetable and sultana soap. Not too bad!

Wow, you lucky girl. I have never been to one, or even heard of it. It sounds so great though. Enjoy all your goodies. I'm jealous. :)

Oh wow! i Never knew Lush parties existed.When i go to Covent Garden i sometimes buy there stuff. One of my favourites is a bath fish with rose petals and as it dissolves in the water the bath is full of roses. One day when we have a home of our own with my hubby i will definately be lavishing him with this stuff. It is well worth it.

I went to a Birthday Party for the Herald Square store's 3rd birthday... with my purchase, I got a "Be My Valentine" box with a Titsy Totsy and a heart-shaped I Should Coco. I was hoping for Christmas stuff like a Holiday bar, but oh well!

Sadly, I have never been to a Lush party. I can't wait for the Providence, RI shop to open up though. Since Providence is only 20 minutes away.. I will finally get to go to a party!!

I've never been to a Lush Party. I onlt recently discovered this store and I'm totally hooked! I find it to be a little on the expensive side, but after being given some free samples of skincare and seeing how fast it cleared my skin up, I have NO qualms about spending my money there. Next week I get to replace the sample tubs of Breath Of Fresh Air Toner, and Imperialis Moisturizer with the full size bottles and I'm ridiculously excited about it LOL. If and when I hear of a Lush Party going on, I'll be sure to make sure I go. I've heard they're a LOT of fun!

I wasn't sure what to expect - but it really was a lot of fun... and even though the people are strangers they are still kind of like family so it's pretty cool.

I'm going to TWO, count it, TWO Lush Parties this week. One in my Halls of Residence at uni and one at the store. I helped organise the party at my halls so I get a nice present for that which I am very much looking forward to! And on Sunday they will have discons for sale, so will be maxing out my credit card! I really am going to have a Lushtastic week. I just wish I had more money.
