My Lush Interview Experience 2015! Part 2 (Trial Shift)

Hello there! 

So this is the 2nd half of my Lush interview experience, and today i will be chatting to you about the trail shift element of the process. So when Lush rang me to tell me about my trial shift all they really told me is to wear anything black and white which is their uniform, so i decided to wear a black skater shirt with a black & white striped boho top with a pair of black flats. 

So when i arrived at the store i was taken into the staff room were there was a couple of others who also had a trail shift, they were all lovely and we chatted whilst we waited for the trial to begin. 

To start with we were shown the basement were all the stock is kept (so cool!), and then we had a little chat with one of the trainee managers and introduced ourselves (Tip- Always have some fun and interesting facts about yourself that they will remember you for!). We then went on to talk about what we are were going to be doing for our trial shift and she told us how to approach customers. 

Then we went on to the shop floor and was given a tour of the store and taken round each section, then after this we were all set free into the store to interact with customers.

There was a slight panic moment but after the first customer i was absolutely fine and really started to enjoy myself and the staff there were so lovely to speak to and helpful if i didn't know something. We were on the floor for around 40 minutes and was great to demo products, give customers a little hand massage i think one of my favourite moments was helping two young lads find a gift for there mum!. So when the trial was over we all went in the back and was told to wait for a phone call later that day around 6pm, and then we were given a little lush bag with their catalogue and product inside (mine was Think Pink bath bomb!).

Here are my tips during your trial shift!-

-Be as confident as possible (hard i know when your nervous)

-Just have fun and think how many people would want to work in Lush even for 40 minutes

-Read up on some product knowledge beforehand

-Offer customers baskets as they walk in or around the store

-Always smile and welcome customers into the store

-Instead of asking 'how are you?' try more open questions like 'What brings you to the store today?

-Really get to know your customer and engage in what they are saying

I do hope this was helpful for anyone applying for a position in Lush! And i am very happy to announce that i am now a Christmas Sales Assistant for Lush! I'm so excited and cant wait to work with such a lovely team! So be expecting a lot more Lush on here! And i cant wait to see all the season products coming in! 

Thanks for visiting 

Pop along again soon! 

Love

Hair Hearts & Dilemmas!

Hey Lovelies, 

So for a while now i have been wanted to do something new with my hair, but have never really been too daring when it comes to hair colour and have only had a couple of highlights here and there, i think the most drastic iv gone is when i went blonde (by accident but really liked it in the end). Now my hair is a mousy brown colour with blonde parts throughout, iv actually had comments of friends and hairdressers asking if i have dip dyed it because it has naturally gone like that. 

I have had my eye on one particular style lately and that is the ombre look, now i know over the past few years this has been very popular so I'm kind of late of the band wagon but like i said it takes me a while to choose a hair style that i like. 

     Here are some hairstyles i pinned on my 'Hair Hearts' board on pinterest

Like many people by biggest inspiration for hair (and in life ) is Zoella, i absolutely love her hair and have always wanted my had to be like hers! and i also love Lauren Conrad's hair as it always looks amazing no matter what colour or style it is.

A couple of years ago my hair was in a bob and since then i have tried growing it because i wanted my long locks back! and recently it hasn't been in the best condition so before i get anything some to it i want to get it in good condition! so any products or tricks you can recommend please enlighten me! 

I think i am going to treat myself maybe early december to a new look and I'm defiantly leaning toward the Zoella look! ill be sure to post any pictures if i do get it done!

Please let me know in the comment 

what you think of the ombre style

The Body Shops- Wild Argan Oil Solid Lip Balm

Hello lovely's, 

by now I'm sure a lot of you would have seen The Body Shops new Wild Argan Oil range, i first came across after watching Fleur De Force's video where she went to Morocco where the Argan Oil is produced and i was able what the BodyShop do for those making the products. So when i went into my local Body Shop i decided to pick something up from the range so i decided to go for the Solid Oil lip balm as i had heard some great reviews about this product.

So what do i think?

I tested a bit of the lip balm when i was in the store and instantly loved it and when i bought it home with me i was not disappointed! The solid oil starts to melt when it comes in contact with you finger and when you apply it to your lips to glides on smoothly and leaves them feeling so soft! and it also has a lovely smell which isn't too over powering. 

So i would defiantly recommend picking one up for yourself as it is quite the bargain at £4 in comparison to some higher end lip treatments, and can be found here where you can also watch Fleur's vlog in Morocco. There are some lovely products within the range that i really want to try like the body scrub and the miracle solid oil. 

*Student Discount! The Body Shop don't offer student discount but they do give students a free membership card which allows you to get 10% each shop plus lots of extra deals throughout the year including a free gift when its your birthday!
