I was super interested in Lush... until I read the ingredients that were exactly the same as the soap at the dollar tree smh! But they speak up on social issues so that is super cool.
Great finds!! And.. She was obviously doing the same thing. (She didn’t want you to get the “good” stuff..😂🤣) Good for you to stand up for yourself!! Keep doing it! Love it!
It isn’t illegal tho- “Dumpster diving is technically legal in all 50 states. In 1988, there was a Supreme Court case (the State of California vs. Greenwood) that ruled searching trash is legal as long as it does not conflict with any city, county, or state ordinances.”
It's amazing that you're saving these items from the landfill! It is so crazy how much stores waste. Also! If you find any empty lush containers, if you bring back I think 5, you get a free face mask!
Put the candles in the freezer for a couple hours then the candle should just pop out. Then either put the candle in a new glass candle holder or cut it up and use as wax melts!
Also I’m so surprised that lush threw all that out. I used to work there and we would take all of the broken bath bombs (the break so easily in shipping) and products that were about to expire. Or we would save the broken stuff for demos in store.
I love all of the candles. Just wrap them in a towel and gently tap with a hammer to remove the remainder of the glass, rinse off any glass bits with cool water and pat them dry. That way you can get decorative plates and dishes to set them on. You can get dishes and plates at yard sales or thrift stores for as low as 10 cents, 25 cents etc. Just an idea, they would make cute gifts or you could resell. Hell yes... go mark your territory at Lush !!
@@alanaseifert6235 all you do is take the glass off and melt the candles to make new ones .Its super easy and new wicks are really cheap on Wal-Mart.com
How often are there things in Ulta dumpsters? I did my first dumpster snag Sunday and scored like HUGE, gaming chair with all parts looks excellent never used in a box selling for 230$ and tons of computer programs in the $50-$99 price range. Your awesome girl!
I say I get lucky atleast 3 times a week, you just have to figure out the right times to go, also ulta employees love to grab things they hide in the dumpster i have video proof lol
Definitely wanna see more Lush dumpster diving. It’s best to go dumpster diving with someone. And always stand your ground with mean people, film them if they act threatening. Btw, Lemony Flutter is a great hand cream, it’s really moisturizing.
I love how you had huge balls and just went back to grab your Lush bag! I think only if you are comfortable going back then have at er. But you ha e a lot of good content already. I have two questions. Do you sell your “stock”. Or are you still keeping some and donating the rest? And I would love too see how you store your dumpster goods almost like a room or house tour but just showing your goods. Much love from Canada. Xo
Omgosh! I started video w/o reading any comments first. I seriously was scared for you. Was so glad when I heard Gonzilla’s voice, that he was there to help out. You totally handled the situation like a pro GDD. Good for you. ✊👊💪❤️
Quick tip for the broken candles melt them by setting them in boiling water the glass can be carefully fished out and the wax separates from the water once cooled you can remelt in to ice cube trays and use them as wax melts
I swear, people in my area are so territorial too. I was a BBW the other day and someone posing as an employee tried to run me out. But they were in a car. eye rollll
People are jerks. I agree with the comments that say to bring your boyfriend with you, especially at night. Things are just getting too crazy out there. Great finds, especially the candles! Stay safe!
I went to look into a dumpster 1x to get a box to ship an order and found candles. It was a tj maxx dumpster. I took the candle but omg I was so scared that I was going to get arrested or something It felt wrong. I envy people who have the guts to dumpster dive. I think it is great for the environment.
Trouble with Lush is the use of organic ingredients like fruit and flower petals can limit the shelf life. So some products have a sell by date for safety. A bit like food use by dates. If the shop can't sell the product in time it gets dumped. I know because I asked. Probably best you stick to using the dry stuff and chuch anything moist.
So glad you're here in Texas! I'm up around the Dallas area.😀 I'm afraid if that woman had done that to me, she'd have a face full of pepper spray! Don't let her get to you! Let me know if you live near me and ever need backup!
How do you pick what stores to go to ? And how do you find the dumpsters ? I’m so looking forward to doing this. Also good luck with these haters trying to stop u from getting your bag 😤🌹👌🏽 Hopefully I have luck I might try and go tonight to a Macy’s and a Sephora
Thank you so much beautiful , I'm going to try going with someone tonight and see if I get lucky. If you ever come to LA I would so do this with you & fight anyone for u ..or just scare them away 😈😂❤️
Do you usually go during the day? And have you noticed any patterns with places ? Or talked to employees ? I’d love a video on little tips I love dumpster diving and usually go to good wills thrifty shoppers and pet stores
Certain black pots from Lush can be returned for a free face mask so I would definitely keep checking that dumpster! All the Lush locations nearby are in malls or else I'd be checking mine weekly for some of their bubble bars and soaps.
I’m surprised they wouldn’t donate or even give them to the employees. If the glass is taken off perfectly good candles. They are giving you problems for helping to reuse the trash. That was intense. So much respect for u helping to eliminate waste. Crazy how the other people were pretending not to be dumpster diving out of shame.
In England, lush donate their unwanted products to refuges and psychriatric units as well as homeless charities. I don't think they'd be pleased that they are throwing them away in America.
Hi. GlamourDDive. List to me, I do not want anything to happen to you. Please be careful when you go dumpster diving. Don't let people scare you. You need to stand up for what is yours. God Bless you, and your boy friend. Keep him closer, so you are safe from hurm.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I want to start dumpster diving! But I’m nervous. Of course worries about what people think (I shouldn’t) and also getting in trouble ☹️ but there is SO MUCH just being thrown away. So many things I’d want & to give away
Man girl just make sure you always have somebody with you I'm so happy that you had your friend with you or whoever Godzilla because there is people out there that are like that they just don't want other people to get what they got you no good for you go back make sure you always have somebody with you though
Hi Ella! New subscriber here. I am really intrigued with all your diving. I am super glad you're able to find things to donate or reused. I would love to dumpster dive but most of the garbage are not open so I can never get anything. Awesome finds! I can't believe the palettes were in great shape! Hope you're having a great day! 💕
If the makeup has been opened and there are signs of it being used, get rid of it! You need to wear gloves and carry something to protect yourself. Just some advise from a fellow diver😊Great job! Stay safe!
After I watched the video you posted of all the books in the dumpster this morning I went out bin diving after lunch and found a whole lot of books that I rescued
Maybe you didn’t want them, but I was surprised you didn’t take the caps to the Ralph Lauren cologne. You should definitely go back to the Lush dumpster.
So many candlessss 😭😍😍 I've been seeing these videos for so long and I still haven't had the chance to smell them. We don't have them here in spain. Love from the Canary islands
If you feel unsafe you might want to pick up some pepper spray though you might only use it for fear of bodily harm and you could be detained for using it it could prevent a physical attack. If you can't find any insecticide would work though it is only as a last resort in your defense. Also good gloves, long sleeves, flashlights, and a pair of boots would improve your safety and security level. Security at stores is likely concerned about the possibility of dumpster diving folks who are creating additional security risks like that they might fear damage to their store as a result of someone taking the dive into somewhere they shouldn't go. Always remember that everything you do is likely captured on store security cam and could be used as evidence if ever something does happen to their store. Dumpsters are public and your not commiting any crime but you do pose a security threat if ever it goes beyond the dumpster.😃
So happy for you when you find something good! ❤️ also, when you get a good score at pet stores! that encounter...umgh...I don’t get why people are like this...it was like bullying.
Watching your videos gives me hope and excitement in what I might find when I go bin diving so far the most expensive item I have found was a diamond and garnet 18 carat gold ring worth $2500 to $3000 New Zealand dollars
Great Video. As for going back to lush. If it was worth it to you, then go. Just be careful and prepared for those nasty people. Sad that they have to be so immature. Just be safe Ella ♥️
That little Ulta bag is one of their sales. U get it for free if u spend so much. I get them all the time at my Ulta. I buy them never find them good job girl and plz go back to lush
