Throwback Tuesday and first times: my first visit at Lush Napoli store

It’s “Throwback Tuesday and a lot of memories comes to my mind: I still remember my first visit to Lush Napoli store.
I wasn’t new at Lush Cosmetics since I’ve been using its products way before summer 2015 and previously I went to the, now shut down, Lush Salerno, a very tiny shop, probably too much for my taste. Not my cup of coffee!

It was my sister’s fault: she said it was worth a visit! I remember taking a day off from my old job, going to the university for my thesis and then wandering looking for this shop: it was so easy to reach. In the heart of Naples, the city centre, literally at two steps from the Toledo art metro station!

The welcoming and rich scent from the shop wasn’t new, obviously, but the space inside was and is huge, it surprised me: 3 rooms in a row with the typical Lush wooden furniture, black and white logo and slogans. Even tourists pop there!

The staff, I remember it very well: it wasn’t that pushy, despite it shown me loads of stuff.
Thank God, the Lush girls gave me the ad hoc advice for my hair with the perfect shampoo.. you know what happened in Salerno, right
As you can guess I bought it, and that was my first Lush Naples haul!

Throwback Tuesday, my first visit at Lush Naples store: the sales team
Rub Rub Rub, kinda suggested from the staff, Trichomania and two samples: the menthol foot cream, Pink Peppermint, was a little surprise!
One of the girls gave me it when I told her I was a sales girl, thus I knew what means standing and walking for hours no stop! How sweet?!


Lush Naples team was jolly and happy: that’s part of the British company politics, but it’s nice to see and have happy people around you!
A place I visit always with pleasure, not just for the empty sake of shopping, but for the warmth and fun you can breathe and feel there (read good vibes).
