Lush Redeem'd

That's more like it.

Just after Christmas, I had an unpleasant experience with a Lush product. It was Coalface soap, and it had sharp bits in it, and I ended up with a long scratch on my face.

I went into the Covent Garden branch to complain, and they weren't very helpful: gave me a tiny sliver of a different product -- "we can't really give you more, as you're returning such a small bit of the soap" -- and told me I shouldn't have used it directly on my face. Well, duh, I'd worked that out very quickly post-scratch: but it is a facial product. (Apparently the sharp bits were slivers of charcoal. I did suggest that they might put a warning to this effect on the product description.)

However, they did (after I refused to let it drop) give me a complaint form to fill in, and I have just received a fulsome letter of apology, and a voucher for £5. More Blue Skies, I think.

Sorry, but I find the idea of coalface soap to be intrinsically funny.
Is it like Coal Tar soap with bits of charcoal in it?

Hi there--

I found you from [livejournal.com profile] fastfwd and have taken the liberty of adding you to the FL.

I hope that's OK!

Yay for Lush, and especially yay for Blue Skies. Remind me tomorrow, I need some more.
