LUSH Officially Opens at Ross Park Mall in Pittsburgh! (pic heavy)

April 21, 2013

Last month I posted about LUSH coming to Ross Park Mall in Pittsburgh (which had me CRAZY excited because the other locations were impossible to get to easily), and on April 12th they officially opened the doors directly across from the food court.

LUSH stores are always fun to be in.  You can sniff, touch and play with everything in the store, and it’s always very open and welcoming.  I’ve never had a negative experience at LUSH, but this store… this store it beyond amazing.  TOP NOTCH in every single aspect.

The store manager and other employees really go above and beyond to make your time inside the LUSH store an actual experience.  Within 30 seconds you can tell each of them was hand picked because they’re passionate about the brand and what the brand represents.

As you walk into the store you’re immediately greeted with the amazing smells of fresh soaps and a cheerful, friendly atmosphere.  Employees are on hand to introduce you to the product and answer all of your questions, and are able to easily educate you on every single item in the store, all of which have a story (oh you didn’t think soap this awesome just happens did you?)

LUSHbathmelts LUSHbomb LUSHbubbleLUSH isn’t just for your bath tub, you’ll find Face Masks, Hair Products, Cosmetics, even Bronzer!  It’s really a one stop shop for pampering!

As some employees entice you by playing with bubbles, others will show you around and help to tailor your purchases for what is best suited for towards your wants and needs

LushcuttLUSHcutPerhaps the absolute coolest thing I’ve ever experienced is the color wheel shown in the first pic below… They basically use this to tell your fortune.  You sit there with your eyes closed as they spin the wheel and talk to you all soothing… when you open your eyes you’re supposed to pick the first three colors your eyes are drawn to.  Each pick tells a different story about how you appear, what you want more of and what your hidden talent is… mine were calm, glamorous and motivation (in the same order)!  It’s LUSH TAROT y’all!!!!

lushkarma LUSHlist lushpink LUSHporridge lushshampoo lushsultanahoneyiwashed LUSH2 lushballs lushdemonAnd, clearly, I can’t leave the place without buying stuff, so I purchased a Lip Tint and my favorite soap – Porridge (shown in a pic above)!  The lip tint I got was in Latte and is swatched below.  From top to bottom – Latte, It Started With a Kiss, A Million Kisses.

LUSHliptintswatchOf course, if you follow me on Instagram you got to see some shots in advance 😉 But I hope you’ll go out and experience your local LUSH store for yourself and check out everything they have to offer.  You’ve never shopped quite like this and I promise you that you will LOVE it.  If you can’t visit a store, you can easily pick these goodies up online and pamper yourself at home 😉

Also, while I was there I was also joined by a reporter at the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, who also had lovely things to say about the store!

***Some product was received gratis at this visit.  Some product was also purchased by me. This is not a paid or sponsored post in any way and any product received has no bearing on the honest review of this brand or store.

      I went back yesterday and took my friend! Our girls played with the FUN soaps and they had my daughter all up in a basin of water making bubbles LMAO they do that with all the kids, they are SO amazing! Of course I bought more FUN and we made soaps last night lol. The store is addicting! They told me that a new LUSH store is opened every single Thursday, so you never know 😉

Instagram post 2181515729102509553_48458351 #ad The top of my daughter's Christmas wish list every single year? @AmericanGirlBrand. She's wanted Julie for years and she's so excited to finally own her! Julie's accessories include a REAL (though sized for the littles) pinball machine, Christmas Fireplace and more. (LINK IN BIO to see the blog post!) I loved this shot of them hanging by my aunt's VW. Though it's not from the 70's I think Julie still appreciates the nod to her favorite decade.

Instagram post 2180806987968962630_48458351 #ad 🎄Holiday shopping for kids never gets any easier. In fact, it seems like every year it gets more difficult to find the perfect gifts for my kids. They can be extremely picky without actually being picky and that means that my husband and I need to come up with some foolproof ideas for under the Christmas tree (so as not to be shown up by the big guy!). ⠀

Instagram post 2180076725802939170_48458351 Every year I love how our family Christmas cards turn out. So much so that I always end up ordering them super early so I can hold them in my hands as soon as possible. It's taken everything in me to not send them out immediately but I'm over here trying to respect Thanksgiving 😅.⠀
• ⠀
@Minted is always the top choice for us because of the quality of the cards we get + I love the shine of the foil pressed look. Every year I'm more and more impressed! Visit my blog post (#LinkInBio) for more details & a discount code.⠀

Remember your #MintedHoliday cards are COMPLETELY customizable with greetings, fonts, colors and more. ⠀
