New mods and new rules! r/lushcosmetics turns over a new leaf

Hello lovely Lushies,

I hope you are all having a great day wherever you are in the world.

Some of you may have noticed that the mod team has finally expanded! That's right, I am no longer the only mod on the block 🥳 and I hope you will all join me in wishing them a warm welcome.

Most of you know me and I have been here for quite a while but for those who don't: I am Billybobjimmyjames or BBJJ for short! My pronouns are she/her and I am in the GMT timezone. I have been a Mod here for about 6 years until this year where I became the lead mod due to being the only active one. I am looking forward to watching this sub blossom under some very capable and extremely lovely smelling hands of the new LushCosmetics mod team.

In no particular order here are the rest of the team:

u/vexkuraa

A few fun facts about me: I’m a chemist by day and, outside of work, I’m a huge fragrance enthusiast and animal lover. My favourite Lush scent is Vanillary, my local Lush is the Cork store.

Now onto the rule changes

Lush has massively grown in popularity and this subreddit is bigger than ever. Over time the tone has shifted and what once was a place known for attacting more eccentric types, is now part of main stream pop culture. The rules were old and so were no longer really reflecting how we want to run this community but more importantly they were not reflective of the values Lush holds. We are all drawn to Lush for different reasons but the thing that sets us apart is our community and our love for each other and the planet.
In order to keep that atmosphere, we spent some time putting together these new rules in the hopes of making this place better than ever. Im aware that not every choice we make will be popular and I don't expect everyone will immediately understand or love these new rules but I do hope with time, we will see a better side of the community. In the last couple of years we have had an uptick in people messaging or feeding back that the community is becoming snarky and negative. We do not want to stop any kind of valid critique of Lush here. We do not work for Lush and this should be a safe place to complain. We do, however, want to crack down on the negativity aimed at each other. By far the most broken rule was haul shaming and I think people would be shocked at how awful some of the comments truly can get. This should be a place where people can share their enthuasism for LUSH without getting roasted into oblivion or called 'Lush apologists'.
There are also some extra bits that I never thought we would need to write out like not posting NSFW pictures (yes that has really happens) and things like a ban on AI usage. It also lays out the rules that come into force every year around boxing day onwards so it is easier to familiarise yourself with it.

Please thoroughly read and familiarise yourself with these new rules as they come into force with immediate effect.

These new rules are:

Rule 1: RESPECT - No name calling or general rudeness

This community does not tolerate name calling, bashing, or any general rudeness. Lush is a global and inclusive company, and so are we! Be kind to your fellow Lushies. The list above is not exclusive and we will take into account the overall tone of what you are saying. It is okay to be critical of Lush but it is not okay to direct that at fellow Lushies. This includes any mentions on tastes and preferences in scents, products etc. This is not a snark sub so jokes at other expense will not be tolerated in any form. Disagreements with others can be had in a calm and repectful way. When your comment is removed you will receive a warning and 3 warnings will result in a ban. You may be banned outright at mod discretion if any of your comments are deemed to be particularly egregious.

Rule 2: Scamming and Dishonest trades

Before engaging in B/S/T please view the Community Scam Prevention post. Do not engage in any type of scamming or dishonest trading behaviour. Users found to not be holding up their end of a trade will be banned until the trade is completed. If something about the way another user is interacting with others is unusual then please reach out to the mod team.

Rule 3: Giveaways including QR codes and Contests

Please keep all QR codes and small giveaways to the monthly megathread. Make sure you follow the thread rules properly or your comment/post will be removed. Large giveaways require mod approval to be posted on the main page so that we can verify they are real and monitor post comments. Contests always require Mod approval at any time.

Rule 4: Self Promotion

All self promotion must be contained to the monthly megathread at all times. Self promotion includes friends of Lush links, Tiktok videos, blogs, youtube channels and videos, Surveys and reviews that link outside of the subreddit. Mods will expect to see equal or greater participation in discussion threads as your own self-posts.

If you post outside of the megathread then a warning will be issued via the removal reason attached to the remaoval. Further rule breaks will result in a ban.

Rule 5: Spoilers, Kitchen box and Lush training material

Lush official training material is given to employees early and often ends up on the internet before the official announcement of products. Official Lush confidential training material is not allowed to be posted. If an unofficial source releases information but it isn't the actual pages Lush puts out, those can be shared but they must be spoiler tagged. If you see an untagged spoiler please report it as we can add the tag retroactively.

Kitchen boxes are no longer required to be spoiler tagged. The original kitchen boxes featured a menu that people voted on, making the products you receive a surprise. The boxes no longer operate this way and so they no longer need to be spoiler tagged.

Rule 6: Megathreads

Please check the top of the sub for the megathread directory and use it. We have monthly buy/sell/trade threads for multiple regions, Lush alternatives megathread, a Self-promotion megathread and a Rewards and Giveaway megathread. All posts regarding any of this content must be kept in their respective threads. Please make sure you are checking regularly as we also add event related threads like the Discon megathread from time to time.

Rule 7: Haul or finance shaming

Please do not comment about the amount of products someone has or the money they have spent on their purchases or collections. You don't know them or their situation and this is a subreddit dedicated to a luxury product and people should be able to share their collections and interest without judgement. This includes asking how much money they have spent, asking about their job or how they earn their money, any kind of comment about use by dates, comments about how strong they must smell, comments about using too much product at once, comments about others not being able to get any of the products posted, comments about hoarding or the OP's mental health and comments about consumerism.

You CAN post about your own problems with lush collecting or hoarding, going on a no buy etc but you must create your own post and it must focus on you and not comment on others. Breaking this rule will result in a ban of varying length from 3 days upwards to permanent.

Rule 8: AMAs

AMAs are encouraged, but need to be discussed with the mod team in advance so that we can verify you and monitor the thread. We ask that AMAs be unique in nature and not just be 'I work for Lush'. All AMAs will have a comment from the mod team showing that we're in the loop and it has been approved; if you do not see that comment, please report it. If you would like to host an AMA, please reach out to the mod team in advance for approval.

Rule 9: Recommendations

When asking for recommendations please include some details. What is your skin like? What are some of your favorite products? What have you not liked? Providing details makes it easier for people to respond with helpful suggestions. Posts lacking in detail may be removed.

Rule 10: AI usage

The use of AI is strictly banned in this sub. Do not post AI generated text, descriptions, comments or photos at any time. If you do you risk being banned. Bots will be banned immediately.

Rule 11: Safety

Please do not post any personal details or identifiable information about yourself or anyone else! Also please do not post pictures of yourself or children here. Always ask before DMing another user and if you receive unsolicted messages from anyone please send us a modmail with screenshots and a username.

Rule 12: No NSFW posts or Accounts

Please keep all posts PG. Lush is inclusive of all ages and so are we! Try to keep swearing or profanity to an absolute minimum. Post from accounts advertising NSFW content on their profile will be banned immediately. If you are a sex worker and would like to engage with the sub please use a SFW alt account to do so.

Rule 13: Spam

All posts must relate to Lush. Please do not post about other brands here. Please limit your posts to a maximum of two per day.

Rule 14: Flairs

Please flair your posts to help keep things organised and to help other find your posts! Mods may change your post flair if necessary.

Rule 15: Ban evasion

We use Reddit's ban evasion tool to identify users who have created another account in order to get around a ban. Medium or low level will receive a warning but a ping for high confidence is an immediate ban. If you believe this to be incorrect please reach out to reddit admin and not the mod team as the mod team is unable to assist you. We can only go off of information provided by reddit.

Rule 16: Boxing day rules

The boxing day sales are the busiest time for the sub and due to the amount of posts we employ a few different rules that run from the 26th of December and end on March 1st. Firstly we introduce specific megathreads for different regions to talk about the sales including updates. DO NOT post on the main wall things along the lines of 'X is in stock on the website again go go go' as this belongs in the megathread.

We also introduce a shipping questions and woes megathread as every year their shipping is absolutely diabolical and the feed gets filled with 'Has anyone else not received their parcel yet?'. The only boxing day posts allowed on the main wall during this time period are haul photos. They must be a photo of the actual products in your possession. Checkout screen pictures are not allowed but may be shared in the discussion megathreads.

These rules will be posted alongside the megathreads as they go up each year.

Rule 17: Mod abuse

Mod abuse of any kind is not accepted and will result in an immediate, permanent ban. We are here to help you and to keep this place fun and engaging. We are not affiliated with Lush and are not paid to do this, we do it because we love the community and want to give back. We do not deserve abusive modmail message or DMs. If you feel we have made a mistake in our moderation or want to discuss further then please send us a modmail. We are happy to explain our decisions to you.

Congrats on reading this far! I know that was a lot (I really do its taken me months to pull all this together) and I hope that the nicest smelling corner of reddit can really flourish from here on out.

And with all of that said, I appreciate you all and thank you for being so patient.

Temporary sub lockdown

Hello everyone,

As you all may have noticed, nobody is able to post or comment on posts in the subreddit. It's not just you, its everybody.

I have not made this decision lightly.

This subreddit gets approximately 2.3 million views, over 1k posts and 16k comments every. single. month.

I never expected to find myself alone and it took 3 months of being alone before reddit handed control of the entire sub to me and during that time I had the death of a close family member. The first thing I did was start recruiting for new moderators to help me because this place is far too big to manage on my own.

Unfortunately life has continued to be relentless and I have struggled to manage the continuous upkeep of the sub at the same time. In the last few days there has been posts directly complaining about the moderation with some saying there is far too little and others saying there is far too much and very little freedom of speech. I accept that I am hugely falling short of what is needed.

I am desperately trying to find the time to finish going through all the moderator applications submitted but I am unable to do it and fully monitor the subreddit at the same time.

As a result I have put the sub on a temporary lockdown for 72 hours in order to give me time to finish shortlisting the applications and select the new moderators.

I am genuinely sorry that I have had to do this. I love this place and the large majority of you are fab at following rules and creating a welcome space but for each rule violation there is extra work and it only takes one post while im sleeping for the whole place to become incredibly toxic. A lot of you never see it but people can and do say incredibly nasty things on occasion and I dont want things like that slipping through the net.

On that note, I will see you all in less than 70 hours time and thank you for reading.

July 2026 Canadian Buy/Sell/Trade Thread

Similar to the UK B/S/T thread, this is a thread is for Canadian Lushies who are only offering selling/buying/shipping within Canada due to shipping costs/restrictions/conversion rates being quite uncertain/difficult between the US/Canada.

If you are looking for a different area please refer back to the original megathread for the month which can be found here and follow the link for your area.

But before you post please give the following rules a read:

  • If either searching for or selling products from the current month’s kitchen box, please make sure to spoiler tag the product names.
  • Do not offer any products if you do not have all materials you would need to dispense it in your possession at time of posting. Lots of generous Lushies are offering to decant things before they even receive the product. It's not wise to make that offer until you have the product. If you plan on splitting a product (looking at you, giant kitchen items that I'll never get through) with someone, please be very careful - We cannot help if one member of the party does not hold up their part of the bargain.
  • Respect each other! Show the same kindness you would expect to receive. Personal attacks are NOT cool!
  • If you are buying a product, don't use PayPal friends and family, pay the fee and request an invoice. This is going to protect you!
  • Moderators are not responsible for chasing down lost swaps. You are responsible for creating the terms and follow through of your own swaps.
  • This thread is for Lush products only.
  • Swap at your own risk and always protect yourself. We strongly encourage you, even if you are doing a swap, to invoice each other through PayPal goods & services or eBay. This will protect both the buyer and seller.
  • Failure to hold up your end of a deal may result in a ban from the r/LushCosmetics community until such time that the deal is complete.

Moderator search update

Hey bathers!

Just an update :)

We received a fantastic amount of applications for the open moderator positions. So many that it is taking me a while to get through them all!

I am reading each application thoroughly and adding names to a shortlist ready. Some of you will have already received rejections, and I still sadly have a a lot more to go because I can only take on so many moderators. To those who didn't make it, I would still really like to thank you for your submissions.

Some of you can expect to receive a message from me offering you a position soon!

I will do an announcement once all positions are filled introducing the new team and the big rules update I have in the works. The update aims to tackle the toxicity problem a lot of people are experiencing in this sub. We can't stop people from downvoting, but we can certainly tighten up the rules in a few areas to help encourage more positive engagement. We don't want to quieten voices who have genuine concerns nor do we want to force rules that prevent negativity entirely but we do want to make this place a little brighter for those who want to share the upbeat moments.

All in all, im sorry it's taking me so long. I want to get this right and I still have to keep up with all my other moderator duties in the meantime (looking at you late megathreads 👀). I thank you all for your continued patience.

Happy bathing 🩷

Edited for typos lmao im tired

Recruiting sub moderators

Hello everyone!

​

Its Billybobjimmyjames here ✨️

​

So some of you may already be aware of this, but for those that aren't, I am currently the only active moderator for the community.

​

For over 6 years, this place has been run by u/divingsiren and I together with the occasional other moderator here or there helping us out and keeping this sub a fun and engaging place to be.

Unfortunately, as time went on, we became more and more strained with the size of the sub and the amount of work required and so we set up the moderator recruitment tool ready to search for other moderators. During this time period I had a family member die and was absent briefly whilst I dealt with it and at some point u/DivingSiren's real life must have caught up with them as I have not been able to get in contact since January.

​

Whilst I waited for them to come back, I have struggled to keep on top of everything alone. Standards have slipped and it has taken me too long to get to important tasks especially as I am in the UK and we get a lot of posts from other timezones.

Then in the last couple of days, u/DivingSiren's account was eventually listed as inactive and so I became the lead moderator by default.

​

I am truly gutted to have lost my fellow moderator under such circumstances. I am hoping that they will eventually return but in the meantime, I wish to bring in some new moderators ready for the upcoming rules refresh to help run the subreddit properly and take some of the pressure off of me.

​

​

If you are interested then please follow the link below to apply. I will be closing applications on the 21st of June.

​

https://www.reddit.com/r/LushCosmetics/application/

​

In the meantime, I want to thank you all for your patience over the last few months while I waited this time out and held down the fort. Its been super tough on me mentally but hopefully now everyone will start to see positive changes taking place over the next few months.

​

Peace ✌️

If you plan on splitting a product (looking at you, giant kitchen items that I'll never get through) with someone, please be very careful - We cannot help if one member of the party does not hold up their part of the bargain.
  • Respect each other! Show the same kindness you would expect to receive. Personal attacks are NOT cool!
  • If you are buying a product, don't use PayPal friends and family, pay the fee and request an invoice. This is going to protect you!
  • Moderators are not responsible for chasing down lost swaps. You are responsible for creating the terms and follow through of your own swaps.
  • This thread is for Lush products only.
  • Swap at your own risk and always protect yourself. We strongly encourage you, even if you are doing a swap, to invoice each other through PayPal goods & services or eBay. This will protect both the buyer and seller.
  • Failure to hold up your end of a deal may result in a ban from the r/LushCosmetics community until such time that the deal is complete.

June 2026 Canadian Buy/Sell/Trade Thread

Similar to the UK B/S/T thread, this is a thread is for Canadian Lushies who are only offering selling/buying/shipping within Canada due to shipping costs/restrictions/conversion rates being quite uncertain/difficult between the US/Canada.

If you are looking for a different area please refer back to the original megathread for the month which can be found here and follow the link for your area.

But before you post please give the following rules a read:

  • If either searching for or selling products from the current month’s kitchen box, please make sure to spoiler tag the product names.
  • Do not offer any products if you do not have all materials you would need to dispense it in your possession at time of posting. Lots of generous Lushies are offering to decant things before they even receive the product. It's not wise to make that offer until you have the product. If you plan on splitting a product (looking at you, giant kitchen items that I'll never get through) with someone, please be very careful - We cannot help if one member of the party does not hold up their part of the bargain.

June 2026 Self-Promotion Thread Self-Promo

We ask that all self-promo content (Surveys, YouTube videos, basically any off-site content) be shared here.

To clarify, any review posts contained within the subreddit are totally okay! Anything that links to another platform will be considered self-promotion and should be contained to this thread.

We do also ask that any self-promo content be related to Lush somehow. Whether that be dupes of products that Lush sells, makeup looks using Lush products, or videos of bath bomb art. It just has to be related to Lush!

Sooooo, get sharing Lushies! Hype each other up! Share your Instagram and your YouTube channels!

Hello, I am hoping I can get a serious response to my request. I reached out via inbox about my issue and received a really unhelpful response.

I wrote 'Hello Admin,

I am a moderator on (my subreddit) and as you can see it is a fairly large subreddit. Over time all of the other moderators have become inactive except myself and [other mod]. I have been keeping in contact with [other mod] for years but recently they have stopped responding and stopped moderating for several months. Their last response to me was in January and their last mod action was in March. For some reason despite no longer taking on any mod duties, they are not listed as inactive and because they are above me in the mod order list I can't remove any of the inactive mods above me.

Now that I am on my own I am looking to recruit a few new moderators to help me control the sub properly and revamp the rules but I would like to be made the lead moderator now so I have better control. I do not intend to remove [other mod] in case they do return but the others have been gone over a year and I would really like them gone.

I cant attatch photos but I have proof that i have repeatedly reached out to [other mod] and received no response.'

The response I received was 'Hi there,

You have everything permissions, but there's another top mod that's active in the list. You would need to reach out to them for this. Thanks'

This response is totally unhelpful to me right now! I am currently on my own and I don't know why the other mod is still showing them as active when the mod log shows they have been inactive for over 2 months! I am on my own here and if I give up there will be nobody on a sub that gets 2million visitors a month! I need some help but more importantly I need a genuine response from Admin and that isnt what i received.
