Lush
At LUSH we believe in buying ingredients only from companies that do not commission tests on animals and in testing our products on humans. We invent our own products and fragrances and make them fresh, by hand, using little or no preservatives or packaging, using only vegetarian ingredients. We also believe in happy people making happy soap, putting their faces on their products and making mums proud. We want our customers to enjoy long candlelit baths, share showers, treat themselves to a massage, and to fill the world with perfume! We believe in the right to make mistakes, lose everything and start again. With consistent support from loyal customers and consistent 5* reviews on Google, why not pop into the LUSH Southampton Store to experience a live demonstration/consultation of our products - let us pamper you, and thank you for supporting us! See you soon!

Purplelily Design
Purplelily Design is the creation of an established freelance Graphic Designer with professional nature and an eye for detail. They work with ethical and environmentally aware businesses to help promote what they are doing, by designing logos, brands for new businesses, beautiful brochures, and marvellous banners. Their designs will make your business stand out and help you flourish!
"Having been in marketing for more than 26 years, I have dealt with countless design agencies and regard Purplelily as a bit of a gem. Tracy took a challenging brief and turned it around quickly, providing a solution that did exactly what we wanted. She understood our objectives, without any need for lengthy explanation, and the thinking behind them. The resulting material was impactful, but not so impactful that it detracted from what we were trying to say, as can often happen. In fact, the design just amplified our messages. Tracy was also unfailingly good humoured. If only all design agencies were like this." – Review by Mark, Bishopstoke
