The Brain Freeze Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited edition product from Lush’s 2024 Halloween line.
As you can see, the Brain Freeze bath bomb has been created to look like a cartoon-version of a human skull. It is mostly white but has two dark blue, deep set eye sockets.
If this isn’t your first Lush Halloween, you may recognise the shape of the Brain Freeze bath bomb. This is because it is hand-pressed in the exact same mould as the Bonehead bubble bar from the 2023 Halloween line.
Each Brain Freeze bath bomb is approximately 130g fitting snuggly in my hand.
Some of the ingredients included in the Brain Freeze bath bomb are peppermint oil, cypress oil, spearmint oil, fine sea salt and a pinch of popping candy. You’ll recognise the bath bombs scent if you’re familiar with the past Lush product, the Melomint bubble bar.
The mixture of peppermint and spearmint oils makes for a cool and refreshing bathing experience, making the ‘Brain Freeze’ name perfect for this bath bomb…
The Brain Freeze’s scent is best described as soft yet fresh, crisp and a little woody too.
I feel as if the cypress oil in it stops the peppermint from being as sharp as it could be. Which isn’t a bad thing at all, I quite enjoy the more subtle and sweeter notes that the Brain Freeze bath bomb offers.
As an incredibly sleepy person, I love a minty product that blasts you awake but at this time of year I don’t want a product to cool me down in the same way as I would in the Summer months. The subtle minty freshness of the Brain Freeze bath bomb is perfect for the cooler Autumn months as it doesn’t leave your teeth chattering but still has a little kick.
As soon as the Brain Freeze bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of dark blue foam at its top, and a lighter, sky blue foam at its bottom. The soft and gently refreshing scent slowly fills your bathroom as the water takes hold of the bath bomb.
Being honest, I did expect more bath art from the Brain Freeze bath bomb, and I also wouldn’t have known it had popping candy in it at all, had I not read the ingredients.
I have however seen other customers upload photos of bath art from this bath bomb to Instagram, they were lucky to get purple and various shades of blue swirls out of their Brain Freeze bath bomb!
The Brain Freeze bath bomb took just over six minutes to fully dissolve, leaving you with plenty of time to lay back and relax in its warm, sea-salt enriched, skin-softening, dark blue water.
The cool fresh scent is more subtle nearer the end of your bath but can still be detected on your skin for a few hours after getting out of the bath.
My skin felt like silk once I was dry and out of the bath, there was no need to moisturise with a body lotion afterwards.
I thoroughly enjoyed using the Brain Freeze bath bomb, I’d have maybe liked a bit more bath art but other than that it was a very enjoyable Halloween bath bomb!
