Dancing Skeleton Bath Bomb from Lush

The Dancing Skeleton Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited edition product from Lush’s 2024 Halloween line.

As you can see, the Dancing Skeleton bath bomb is ready to have the time of its afterlife at the Halloween party of the year, the location? YOUR BATH!

This ivory coloured bath bomb is created in the shape of an energetic looking and super smiley skeleton. Its arms are stretched upwards, and it has one leg up and one leg down just like it is in the middle of a very well-practiced Hokey Cokey dance routine…

Each Dancing Skeleton bath bomb is approximately 85g each making it one of the smaller and more affordable bath bombs in the Halloween collection.


Dancing Skeleton’s fragrance shares its scent with a past Christmas product, the Angels Delight bath bomb. Some of the ingredients included in the Dancing Skeleton bath bomb are both tangerine, and orange oils; It also has plenty of skin softening agar agar.

The most magical thing about the Dancing Skeleton bath bomb is that it is just like the Iconic Door bath bomb; Once it gets wet, it turns the water a beautiful shade of turquoise blue.

Something you wouldn’t expect from a plain, ivory coloured bath bomb. I’m not sure of the exact science behind it but it’s a new Lush innovation that Lush seem to be experimenting with in more and more bath bombs.

The Dancing Skeleton’s scent is best described as a creamy tangerine fragrance, It’s the perfect product to reach for if you’re in need of a quick pick-me-up. Its scent is cheery, uplifting and combined with the hot bath water, warms your bones and lifts your spirits.

As soon as the Dancing Skeleton bath bomb touches the water it begins to sizzle away. The scent fills your bathroom as the water takes hold of the bath bomb.

Dancing Skeleton isn’t a bath bomb that spits out colourful bath art, it’s fun and inviting scent is its number one redeeming quality, that and the fact it’s ivory coloured but still produces turquoise water?!?!!

The Dancing Skeleton bath bomb takes only a couple of minutes to fully dissolve, leaving you with plenty of time to lay back and relax in its skin-softening, turquoise water.

The creamy tangerine fragrance hangs in the air right up until the last drop of water goes down the plug hole.

Its scent can also still be detected on your skin (albeit very subtly) for a few hours after using this bath bomb too.

I thoroughly enjoyed using the Dancing Skeleton bath bomb, it’s fun, one of the cheaper Halloween bath bombs and smells incredible. I am excited to see more colour changing products in Lush’s future… What will they come up with next?

Cherry Pop Shower Gel from Lush

At the time of writing this review, the Cherry Pop Shower Gel has only ever been available in September 2024’s Lush Kitchen subscription box.

It was my favourite item from subscription box 52 and it seems a lot of customers feel the same way. It has proven very popular within the Lush community, so popular that I think Lush are starting to regret not making it a part of their 2024 Halloween line.

Spoiler alert… I LOVE the Cherry Pop shower gel; I have my fingers crossed that it one day becomes a main line shower gel, or at the very least, that Lush release it in a limited edition drop. It’s a crime that I only have one bottle. 🙁


We’ve had a lot of brand new shower gels this year, Super Milk, Posh Chocolate and Fiona being the ones that first come to mind, BUT none of them have been quite as irresistible as the Cherry Pop shower gel!

The Cherry Pop shower gels fragrance is a brand new Lush scent. To me, the scent of Cherry Pop is the truest to the actual scent of cherries that Lush has ever created.

Some of the ingredients contained in the Cherry Pop shower gel are, cherry infusion, organic agave syrup, balsamic vinegar, labdanum resinoid, cinnamon leaf oil, lime oil and almond essential oil.

Earlier I said that the Cherry Pop shower gel is the truest to the actual scent of cherries that Lush has ever created. It doesn’t however smell of just cherries. It’s sweet with a tarty undertone, it smells just like the taste of those sugar coated, sour cherry sweets.

The best thing about the Cherry Pop shower gel is its unique colour, or should I say colours? – In the bottle the Cherry Pop shower gel looks dark green but as you pour the shower gel out, it becomes a shade of dark, cherry red.

I’m not 100% on the science behind it, it could very well just be an optical illusion but the unique way it appears to change colour had me very excited. Some people get excited over cars, others bird watching; Me? I get excited about Lush products! 😋

Consistency wise the Cherry Pop shower gel is quite thick but still very easy to get out of the bottle.

It lathers up easily and is super hydrating on your skin, it turns into a white almost foam-like-paste that when mixed with water, cleanses my body effortlessly.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really takes over your bathroom, it’s delicious. I hope Lush not only make this shower gel available in stores but also bring out other products that share its same cherry based scent. The idea of a body spray equivalent is making me salivate!

Once out of the shower the Cherry Pop scent remains on your skin for a good few hours, Overall, I am obsessed with this shower gel. It’s one of my favourite products to come out of not just 2024 but all 52 of the Lush Kitchen Subscription boxes so far!

Batcurrant Lip Scrub from Lush

The Batcurrant Lip Scrub is one of two brand-new lip scrubs from Lush’s colossal 2024 Halloween line.

The main ingredient in all of Lush’s lip scrubs is caster sugar. To this day I am still lost for words that such a simple and natural mix of ingredients can do such a great job at exfoliating. It really does make me question why other cosmetic companies ever actively chose to use micro-plastics in their exfoliation products.

Lush’s lip scrubs are ridiculously underrated, if you’re on the fence about giving them a go I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

I use Lush lip scrubs almost every day so whenever a new one comes out, I always make sure I grab a pot.Using Lush lip scrubs requires a minimum amount of effort, and they cover everything your lips need to always look and feel their best.

They are the perfect product to exfoliate dry or chapped lips, and most are also very good at softening and hydrating them at the same time. Exfoliating your lips has so many benefits and thanks to Lush, it has never been easier to do.


As well as caster sugar, the Batcurrant lip scrub also contains some of the following ingredients: Organic jojoba oil, fairtrade shea butter, organic cold pressed grapeseed oil, blackcurrant absolute, coriander seed oil and davana oil.

Batcurrant has a brand new Lush scent that is delicious, both scent and taste wise. The blackcurrant absolute is probably the ingredient that comes through the strongest, it’s very fruity but has a really strong sourness to it too.

To use, simply scoop out a pea sized amount of the lip scrub with your finger then buff it on your lips. Once you’ve buffed them to your desired amount simply lick off any excess product.

Lush’s lip scrubs are obviously not meant to be eaten; BUT if a little amount of the lip scrub does accidently end up in your mouth while you are scrubbing your lips, you don’t need to worry!

The Batcurrant lip scrub is a bold shade of Cadbury purple. It has a mixture of fine and slightly chunkier grains of caster sugar.

When it comes to lip scrubs, I tend to favour the lighter (or more natural to actual lip-colour) ones, over the brightly coloured ones.

This is because once a very long time ago, I used a little too much of the bright blue, Galaxy lip scrub. It left a very slight blue tinge on my lips. Since, I have been wary and now only use a pea sized amount each time I use a lip scrub.

I am pleased to report that during use, I haven’t had any purple colour transfer from the Batcurrant lip scrub at all. As for its juicy sourness, again, I think it is comparable to the lip scrub I just mentioned, Galaxy. Yummy!

After using the lip scrub my lips feel smoother and I also find the formula very hydrating, its scent/taste fits right into the candy theme of Halloween.

Overall, I love the Batcurrant lip scrub, it’s probably my favourite lip scrub that Lush have produced this year. I’d love to see an expansion on this Lush scent. A lip balm, body scrub or body spray would be delightful!
