The Pumpkin Patch Bath Bomb is a brand-new product that (at the time of writing this review) was only available as an exclusive item in October 2023’s Lush Kitchen Subscription Box. Whether or not it will be available in the future elsewhere is a question you’ll have to ask Lush.
The Pumpkin Patch bath bomb is an orange pumpkin that has been designed to look like the typical carved-Halloween-pumpkin but with a pirate twist, one eye is covered by a patch. Its name, the fact it is a pumpkin, and the eye patch are a (typical of Lush) very clever pun.
This year’s Halloween line is incredible, I could see this bath bomb selling extremely well alongside all of the other 2023 Halloween stock.
The Pumpkin Patch bath bomb contains grapefruit oil, juniper berry oil, lime oil and organic pumpkin seed oil and shares its scent with several best-selling Halloween Lush products such as the Sparkly Pumpkin bubble bar and 2 products that are available from this year’s Halloween line (2023) the Sparkly Pumpkin shower slime and Pumpkin Crumble bubble bar.
Before now, the Sparkly Pumpkin Lush-scent-family had only ever featured in a soap and body spray format (as well as the above-mentioned bubble bar and shower slimes) so getting it in a bath bomb format was a dream come true for some.
To look at, the Pumpkin Patch bath bomb has a very similar finish to the likes of the Gold Rabbit, Rose Gold, Partridge in a Pear Tree, and Lucky Tiger bath bombs, covered in an orangey golden shimmer.
The Pumpkin Patch bath bomb’s scent is delicious. It has a slightly spicy element to it as well as a kick of citrus from the grapefruit oil. Each of the bath bomb’s ingredients mixes with each other perfectly, softening one aspect of it while strengthening another.
Although I do not drink anything with caffeine in, I have been told by someone who does, that the Pumpkin Patch bath bomb smells very similar to the spices used in a pumpkin spiced latte.
Pumpkin Patch is a good-sized bath bomb, it’s similar in size to the standard Lush bath bombs, fitting snuggly in my hand.
As soon as the Pumpkin Patch bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a burst of bright orange foam.
The Pumpkin Patch bath bomb’s orangey golden shimmer also starts to glide into your bath water almost immediately too.
I know I say this in almost every bath bomb review but the photos in this review do the Pumpkin Patch bath bomb no justice at all.
Its bath art is very similar to the bath art created by both the Orange Pop and Christmas Sweater bath bomb. The orange and red swirls seem to go on forever.
The Pumpkin Patch bath bomb takes approximately 15 minutes to fully dissolve, leaving you with plenty of time to sit back and enjoy the pretty red and orange show that it puts on.
I found the bright orange waters left behind by the Pumpkin Patch bath bomb exceptionally hydrating and smooth to the touch. The amount of shimmer in it also left me mesmerised.
Its scent although subtle, can still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath. My skin was also still silky smooth for the whole rest of the next day too.
I adore the Pumpkin Patch bath bomb, why it wasn’t a part of the in-store Lush Halloween line is a mystery to me as it really makes for the perfect, pumpkin-spiced Halloween bath!
