Here is a video with information about the Cosmetics Directive and why we’re still Fighting Animal Testing.

Window Display of the Day: Jacqueline Traide, a 24-year-old performance artist, recently volunteered for a starring role she won’t soon forget: 10 hours of torture — cosmetics testing — in a Lush Cosmetics window display. The shocking performance, during which thousands of London passersby witnessed Jacqueline being roughly manhandled and administered to by a “lab technician,” was meant to draw attention to the pain and cruelty inflicted on animals during lab tests for beauty products.
Dressed in nothing but a flesh-colored body stocking, Jacqueline and her counterpartre-enacted widely used tests. She was given injections and had her skin abraded and smothered in lotions and potions, then endured eye irritants and having a strip of her hair shaved off on one of Britain’s busiest streets.
“I hope it will plant the seed of a new awareness in people to really start thinking about what they go out and buy and what goes into producing it,” Jacqueline said.

Tomorrow, Tamsin will be talking on BBC Breakfast at 7.20am with Jacqui, the brave performance artist from Regent Street. See some of the graphic scenes from the London event here.
LUSH recently had a performance artist reenact what animals go through daily because of animal testing for beauty products. You should all watch this and sign the petition and while you’re at LUSH, take a look at their products and let your mind be ensnared by their brilliance.
lush valentines giveaway!
hiya. i’m lois & i’m a wee bit lush obsessed! since it’s valentines in a few weeks, i thought it’d be nice to do a wee lush giveaway! i love giving people presents & making up a personalized lush valentines day gift set sounds like fun! ^_^
this giveaway will include:
lush - a million kisses lip tint;
This year’s most fashionable and romantic lips are most definitely going to be rosy! A Million Kisses is our special Valentine’s lip tint for kissable lips that smell divinely of roses.
The main ingredient in this luxurious balm is organic rose hip oil, which not only tastes delicious but works beautifully on dry skin. - Moisturising and rehydrating your lips to make them kissably soft. For the colour we’ve chosen a seductive deep ruby red; wear it with your “come hither” eyes for instant attraction.
lush - chou chou i love you toothy tabs;
The one thing you absolutely have to have on Valentine’s day is lovely sweet-smelling breath for all the kissing you’re going to be doing. These brand new Toothy Tabs are scented and flavoured with rose, so they taste like Turkish Delight and make sure you’ve got the sweetest smooches around during this, the season of romance.
lush - magic mushroom bubble bar;
Some like to say it with flowers, but if you really want to make an impression on your beloved then you can’t do better than a bunch of mushrooms! Our Magic Mushroom is possibly the cutest bubble bar we’ve ever made, and he’s back by popular demand for another shot with Cupid’s arrow.
Magic Mushroom’s bright red top is scented with our famous Vanillary fragrance, while his white stem smells of strawberries, making a yummy strawberries and cream combo that’ll give piles of fruity bathtime bubbles.
lush - love potion massage bar;
In days of yore, a young maiden with her eyes on a likely lad would ask the village wise woman for a love potion. These days a girl needs to take a more hands-on approach, so we’ve created this modern alternative which is sure to get you plenty of amorous attention from your special someone.
Love Potion is a massage bar with a difference. As well as the soft, melty cocoa and shea butters we’ve added some cornflour to the mix, which absorbs excess oils. So when the massage is over, you’ll be left with skin that feels soft and touchable, but not greasy.
Love Potion is perfumed with our best-selling Love fragrance; a light, sexy apple scent with citrusy top notes to inspire devotion.
lush - leap frog bath ballistic.
What could be more romantic than a fizzy amphibian with big red lips? Though Miss Piggy might find him attractive to look at, his true beauty only becomes apparent when he hits the water. He’ll fragrance your bath with a sexy perfume of jasmine, sandalwood and rose that’s sure to send you toadily wild for his froggy charms.
As 2012 is a leap year and according to an ancient tradition, February 29th is when the girls get to propose! So, in honour of this event, we decided to rename our famous Frog Prince Bath Bomb and bring him out to celebrate. And, if you’re wondering whether to pop the question, he might just help you make up your mind…

As one of the most sensual soap creations to ever emerge from the Lush labs, Sweetheart is a real stunner. It looks sweet and innocent in white and pale pink, but it lathers into creamy gorgeousness.
