Hi! My name is Witold (pronounced "vee-told") and I am the founder of BlackerFriday.com. After many years working in corporate america, I decided it was time to take a break to pursue my real passion — helping people save money. Ever since I was a little boy selling pencils in the playground to my kindergarden friends, later collecting aluminum cans from all my neighbors in elementary school to support my baseball card addiction, eventually becoming an eBay Power Seller in my older years to support my college education, I had an eye for spotting deals. I’ve taken what I have learned over the years and built Blacker Friday to bring you the best Black Friday rumors, predictions, and news website. Fortunately I'm not alone in this - We have a great team of dedicated folks helping make this site possible.

Lush Cosmetics Memorial Day 2024 Sale

May 13, 2024 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Monday May 13, 2024: The long holiday weekend is quickly coming upon us and what better way to take a well deserved break than a long hot bath with one of Lush’s bath bombs following by a chocolatey face mask. But if you’re looking a discount this Memorial Day then unfortunately you won’t find them at Lush.

Why no Memorial Day sale at Lush Cosmetics?

Lush is unlike most other stores… they don’t jump from one sale to the next; there’s no Black Friday sale, no Cyber Monday sale, no Labor Day sale and, you’ve guessed it, no Memorial day sale either. Regular discounting is simply not part of their marketing strategy. That’s why when they run their single, one-day-only sale of the year, it’s a special event that shouldn’t be missed.

When does Lush go on sale?

Lush Cosmetics’ only sale of the year occurs the day after Christmas (aka their Boxing Day sale). That’s when you’ll find around 200 items on sale for a whopping 50% off. That often includes various bath bombs, body conditioners, soaps, bubble bars, face cleansers and lotions. You’ll also be able to pick up some leftover Christmas sets as well. But as you can expect, some of the most popular items are known to sell out quickly, sometimes even within minutes of the sale going live.

Here’s a few screenshots from last year’s sale — You can expect similar types of items to return again this year:
