All 15 rules of r/LushCosmetics
- RESPECT - No name calling or general rudeness
No name calling, bashing, or any general rudeness. 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 others expense will not be tolerated in any form. Disagreements with others can be had in a calm and repectful way. - 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. - 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. - 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.

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

Please make sure you are checking regularly as we also add event related threads like the Discon megathread from time to time. - 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. The word count here is limited so please see this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/LushCosmetics/comments/1vrzgdp/new_mods_and_new_rules_rlushcosmetics_turns_over/ - 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. - 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. We also ask you refrain from influence/de-influence me style posts and stick to the above format. Posts lacking in detail may be removed. - AI usage and Bots
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. - Safety

All posts must relate to Lush. Please do not post about other brands here. We request that all photos be products in your actual possession and not be pictures of online order or checkout screens. If you are posting a haul please try and add some info about the products. For example, are they new or old? What is your fave and what did you not rate? Low effort post with very little content or information may be removed. Please limit your posts to a maximum of two per day. - 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. - 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.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
