Lush launches limited edition freshers essentials student starter pack
Fresh handmade cosmetics company Lush is launching a new £20 routine box aimed at people returning to school, college or university this month.
In stores, customers will work with shop staff to curate a custom box containing their choice of face mask (45g), balm cleanser (10g), fresh cleanser (50g), moisturiser (10g), soap (50g) and shampoo bar (full size).
A full day and night routine at a discounted price (worth up to £36), the boxes aim to give cash-strapped students a head start this academic year with fresh, handmade cosmetics that are good for skin, and good for the planet.
Choose a full-sized soap from some of Lush’s most popular ranges, including Outback Mate, Honey I Washed The Kids and Sleepy, and plastic-free solid shampoo bars such as New, Seanik and Jumping Juniper.
Lush’s best-selling Ultrabland or vegan alternative Ultraplant will also be included in the box, as well as the customer’s choice of full-sized fresh cleanser Herbalism, Angels on Bare Skin or the deliciously-scented Let The Good Times Roll complete with chunks of exfoliating real popcorn!
Add Beauty Sleep, Cosmetic Warrior or acne saviour Mask of Magnaminty face mask to the box, and a sample of facial moisturiser (Peace, Cosmetic Lad, Vanishing Cream etc) to finish a routine that will help even the weariest of freshers week complexions.
Online shoppers will be able to choose from three prepared routine boxes: Calming, Balancing or Invigorating.
Kasey Swithenbank, head of retail for UK&I at Lush commented: “Lush originally launched freshers boxes back in 2009 when I was at university – I popped along to my local store in Cardiff, picked one up and to this day I still use our Angels on Bare Skin fresh cleanser every single morning.
“I now head up our 104 UK and Ireland shops so it feels really special to be bringing these back for a new generation of Lushies who want fantastic, effective skincare that uses no new plastic, regenerates ecosystems and has raised £100 million for grassroots charities across the globe over the last 17 years!”
Although aimed at students, anyone is welcome to purchase their own £20 routine box in any UK or Ireland store from Monday 16th September – Monday 14th October. Find your nearest Lush shop here.
