I Want My Mummy Bath Bomb from Lush (2024)

The original I Want My Mummy bath bomb was a part of Lush’s Halloween line back in 2022; Fast forward to 2024 and the I Want My Mummy Bath Bomb has come back but with some strikingly new features.

The most obvious difference in this year’s version is the addition of the colour pink. 2022’s was all white and this years is a mixture of white and pink.

Lush have also decided to give this version of the bath bomb a completely different scent, altering the scent of a product that was already well-loved is always a gamble. Lush took the same chance with the Magic Potion Bath Bomb (2024) this year and unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan, I however kept an open mind for the new version of I Want My Mummy…

Playing up to the theme of Halloween, the I Want My Mummy bath bomb is designed to look like a mummy (and not the motherly-figure type) this mummy is the zombie wrapped in bandages type. Considering it’s replicating a resurrected dead body covered in bandages, it’s actually quite cute!

Another thing that’s very different about the 2024 version of the I Want My Mummy bath bomb is that it glows in the dark. Just like the Glow In The Dark shower gel, simply charge the bath bomb under some light before switching the light off to see it glow.

I am guessing this is why Lush decided to add the colour pink to this bath bomb, this way the white bits of the bath bomb really pop when made to glow in the dark!

This years I Want My Mummy bath bomb shares its scent with the Never Mind the Ballistics bath bomb, its scent is sharp and zesty with a subtle woody undertone. It’s a lively and refreshing fragrance, which fits right into the whole theme of being brought back from the dead… 

Some of the ingredients included in this bath bomb are lime oil, sweet wild orange oil, olibanum resinoid and the magical ingredient that makes it glow in the dark once charged, luminescent zinc-sulfide!

As soon as the I Want My Mummy bath bomb touches the water there is an explosion of pink spreading outwards from the bath bomb in foamy waves. The pink foam slowly thins out as the bath bomb slowly dissolves.

The I Want My Mummy bath bomb takes about 10 minutes to completely dissolve. The water left behind is a cloudy pink; To look at, it reminds me of the pink, fruit-and-barley, summer fruits squash that I used to drink when I was a kid.

The scent of the I Want My Mummy bath bomb lasts throughout your entire bath and remains on your skin for a good few hours after you get out too. My skin felt hydrated and appeared brighter after a long soak in its waters as well.

Overall, I did really enjoy the new-style, I Want My Mummy bath bomb. Like I said earlier, changing a previously released product (even a little bit) is always a gamble but I feel the I Want My Mummy bath bomb was different enough to its older version that I could see past all of the changes and appreciate it as if it’s a whole new bath bomb.

Pumpkin Patch Bath Bomb from Lush

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!

Bonehead Bubble Bar from Lush

The Bonehead Bubble Bar is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Halloween line. Designed to look like a playful and not-at-all-scary skull with googly, rattling around eyes, it is described on Lush’s website as a ‘numbskull bringing foolish fun’ to bath time.

If you’ve been a Lush customer for a while, you are more than likely to recognise the Bonehead bubble bars scent as it also features in the past Lush products the Snowman Bomb Bomb and Polar Bear Plunge bubble bar.

Each Bonehead bubble bar weighs in at approximately 160g which is just 10g lighter than the Pumpkin Crumble bubble bar (another bubble bar from the 2023 Halloween line) it’s a good-sized bubble bar that fits snuggly in my hand.

The Bonehead bubble bar contains a generous amount of cooling spearmint oil and hidden inside of it is loose, blue-tinted fine sea salt.

The Bonehead’s scent is incredibly refreshing, it’s so minty-fresh that it awakens all of my senses. Giving it a good sniff makes my nose tingle!

Minty products rarely feature in the Lush Halloween lines, so I was very excited to see Boneheads list of ingredients.

To use the Bonehead bubble bar, I put broken up pieces of it into a sieve and let the running bath-water trickle over it. I find this the most effective way to use Lush’s single use bubble bars.

This method is also the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted and through trial and error, I have found that this method makes the most bubbles.

The one thing that I love about Lush’s bubble bars over their bath bombs is that they can be easily spread out over several baths. With Bonehead being quite a big bubble bar, you can easily get 2 (possibly 3) heavily bubbled bubble baths out of it.

It’s very good value for money as a very small amount goes an incredibly long way, I’ve not seen a bubble bar from Lush with this much bubble potential for quite some time!

Splitting the Bonehead bubble bar into several different baths didn’t compromise on its scent-quality at all and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the blanket of fluffy white bubbles started to form while running my bath. Underneath the blanket of fluffy, white bubbles the water turns a milky white.

A Bonehead bubble-bar-bath leaves your skin feeling silky-smooth and perfectly hydrated. A lot of the thanks for this is down its sea-salt addition. Its minty scent lasts on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day after bathing in it too, something that minty scented products don’t always manage to achieve.

Overall, I am glad Lush released this. It’s nice to try something a little different from the spicy and pumpkin based products that you ordinarily associate this time of year with.
