LUSH is famed for its bath bombs with the shelves piled high with every shape, size and colour you could possibly wish for.

However, a former employee of the brand says that they are the one product you shouldn’t bother buying.

Melody Collis, from Wiltshire, worked in the popular cosmetics shop for years and often shares her insider knowledge with her YouTube followers.

And she recently revealed what you should be buying instead of the popular bath bombs.

Speaking in a recent video, she explained: “Bubble bars are made for ‘one use’ but I actually cut mine into about six pieces so I pay about £5-£6 for six baths which is much better value for money than putting a whole bath bomb in.

“You can cut bath bombs up but it’s very messy compared to a bubble bar.

“Also try putting your bubble bar in a sieve before you put it under a tap because you will get so many more bubbles.”

When it comes to picking up products in store, Melody says you shouldn’t be reaching for the top of the pile.

She says: “The freshest products are always kept at the bottom or the back of the shelves. This is somewhat common sense, a lot of people would know this because of stock rotation 

“Always go for the back ones because they have an extra week or so expiry to them (sic).”

Equally Melody says you shouldn’t be restricted by product descriptions and says that Lush products have multiple uses.

“You can use shampoo bars to wash your body and the shower gel probably to wash your hair,” she says.

“I tend to use bubble bars to freshen up my drawers, my wardrobe that kind of vibe.”
