Beauty Lush’s Get Naked Party

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Tue, Aug 21 at 9:21 AM

Lush (803 NW 23rd), is gearing up for a Get Naked Party this Saturday. But wait, keep your britches on. The deal is that to draw attention to their “naked” products, as in those that come in bulk and don’t involve a lot of wasteful packaging, this Saturday, from 1-5 pm, the employees in the store will be naked (probably wearing underwear), and hosting games, trivia, a catwalk, and more. Visitors and shoppers can win prizes by playing the games, and everyone gets a free bath bomb with a purchase over $40. My experiences with Lush have been hit-or-miss: I’m not fond of the soaps, but I love the bath bombs, especially the ones that come in cool colors—my favorite made the whole bath a really striking bright pink. I also keep a tub of their Helping Hands hand lotion at my desk, and I’m a fan of the Veganese lemon-scented conditioner. On the other hand, shower jellies? Not too sure about that one. But a naked sales staff is just as good a reason as any to check out the store and the products and find out what your own Lush preferences are—worth doing to support a line of products that doesn’t do any animal testing, emphasizes natural ingredients, and—lo and behold—doesn’t overpackage their product.
