Jason’s Mummy Bath Bomb from Lush

The Jason’s Mummy Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Halloween line.

It’s a new product but not a completely new design. If you’ve been a Lush customer for quite some time you may recognise its shape as Lush have used the same bath-bomb-mould to make it as the mould used for the long-discontinued, Ginger Ninja and Black Ninja bath bombs.

Designed to look just like a stereotypical, scary mummy wrapped in bandages with only its bright red eyes visible, Jason’s Mummy fits right into the theme of Halloween.

Weighing in at approximately 130g the Jason’s Mummy bath bomb fits snuggly in my hand.

The Jason’s Mummy bath bomb contains tangerine oil, grapefruit oil and litsea cubeba oil.

It shares its scent with the past Halloween products, Ectoplasm shower cream and Ectoplasm jelly bomb.

The Ectoplasm scent is a much-loved Halloween Lush-scent-family, the Lush website describes the Jason’s Mummy bath bomb as having ‘citrusy scents of tangerine and grapefruit oils.’ It’s a very gentle and zesty fragrance that isn’t unlike a soft yet bitter marmalade.

One of the more interesting facts about the Jason’s Mummy bath bomb is that like the Bubble Lugosi bubble bar, some of it glows in the dark! If you hold the bath bomb under a light and then put the bath bomb into the dark, you can see that the back of its eyes glow a light yellowy-green.


Although the glow-in-the-dark aspect of this bath bomb doesn’t show once in the bath, it did add a level of novelty to the product.

As soon as the Jason’s Mummy bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of milky-white but clear bubbles.

The Jason’s Mummy bath bomb is not fantastic bath-art-wise as it doesn’t have any colour, it’s actually a very gentle bath bomb which may be a good choice for someone who isn’t into all-things bright, bold and loud.

Most people who would bother to read this review will be more into the more colourful products but sometimes less, really is more!

The Jason’s Mummy bath bomb takes only 3 and a half minutes to fully dissolve. The water left behind is clear with a milky like tinge. Its scent, although subtle can still be smelt throughout your time in the bath right up until the last drop gurgles down your plug hole.

I found the water that the Jason’s Mummy bath bomb left behind to be silky smooth and incredibly refreshing. Its zingy scent can still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath which surprised me as the citrus-led Lush products often don’t have much staying power.

My skin still felt soft and hydrated for the whole of the next day after using it too.

I did really enjoy the Jason’s Mummy bath bomb, no, it wasn’t big on bath art but as I said earlier, sometimes less really is more. It’s a very simple bath bomb and I think that’s why I liked it so much.

Screaming Banshee Bath Bomb from Lush

The Screaming Banshee Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Halloween line.

It is inspired by the banshee from Irish folklore; The banshee is said to be a fairy-like-woman or female spirit whose mouth is permanently open and screaming the most grief-stricken of screams, the scream is said to mark someone’s impending death.

If the thought of a banshee doesn’t make your blood run a little colder than normal, you’re a braver person than me. I don’t think there’s ever been a scarier Halloween product…Weighing in at only 85g the Screaming Banshee is one of the smaller and therefore cheaper bath bombs from the 2023 Halloween line.

The Screaming Banshee bath bomb contains plenty of popping candy as well as sea salt, apple powder, bergamot oil, grapefruit oil and almond essential oil.

It shares its scent with the Space Girl bath bomb, the most recently released products that also share the same scent as the Screaming Banshee bath bomb are Halloween 2020’s, Very Very Frightening shower gel as well as the Asteroid bath bomb and Asteroid City shower gel.

The ‘Space Girl’ scent family is a much-loved Lush fragrance that I’m always happy to see make an appearance in any product format.

The scent of the Screaming Banshee bath bomb is not an easy one to describe, it reminds me of a pot of raspberry yogurt, it’s sherbet-sweet and mouth-wateringly good. Lush have previously described the scent as a ‘nostalgic scent of blackcurrant’ although, as I said earlier, it reminds me of raspberries more than it does blackcurrants.

It is not an overpowering fragrance like some Lush scents often are. It would be a very good choice if you prefer the softer Lush scent-families.

As soon as the Screaming Banshee bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a burst of light and dark blue colour.

The Screaming Banshee bath bomb is not fantastic bath-art-wise BUT does turn the bath water an inviting shade of chamomile blue. It doesn’t take long for the popping candy to make an appearance either; Crackling and popping as the bath bomb fizzes away. After just under 10 minutes, the bath bomb fully dissolves.

I found the chamomile blue waters left behind by the Screaming Banshee bath bomb silky smooth and incredibly refreshing. It’s raspberry-like-scent can also still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath which surprised me as it is a very small bath bomb.

My skin still felt soft and hydrated for the whole of the next day after using it too.

I really enjoyed the Screaming Banshee bath bomb, I like that it is one of the more affordable bath bombs from this year’s Halloween collection and that it has such a great scent, I’d have maybe liked a bit more bath art out of it but other than that I think it’s a fantastic addition to the Halloween line.

Magic Potion Bath Bomb from Lush

The first brand-new-product from Lush’s 2023 Halloween line that I wanted to try was the Magic Potion Bath Bomb AND it did not disappoint! 

This year’s Halloween line is absolutely incredible and dare I say it… Much better than the Christmas line. 

The only thing that could have made this year’s Halloween line any better was if Lush had brought back the Calacas scented, Monsters’ Ball bath bomb. That or the Big Foot bath bomb (also Calacas scented).

The Halloween line is never truly complete if a Calacas scented product isn’t included but the Magic Potion bath bomb impressed me enough to look the other way about it.

The Magic Potion bath bomb contains plenty of popping candy, bergamot oil, jasmine absolute, ylang ylang oil and powders of nettle and dragon fruit.

It shares its scent with the Northern Lights bath bomb and Christmas Eve bubble bar, both of these happen to be favourites of mine.

I still haven’t forgiven Lush for not re-releasing the Northern Lights bath bomb after its last run in the Christmas 2016 line but finally, with Magic Potion, we have a bath bomb with the same fragrance at least!

The Magic Potion’s scent is a musky, floral scent. It’s a beautiful and refreshing fragrance that has a lot of depth and layers, the more you focus on its scent, the more your nose seems to pick up on.

It’s not a particularly strong scent although some may say it is because it is quite a unique blend of ingredients.

Each Magic Potion bath bomb is approximately 100g each, the only negative point I can find to say about them is that all of the ones I ordered online arrived rather worse-for-wear.

It is a bath bomb I will be grabbing a few more of before Halloween is over BUT I’ll be picking them up in store so that I can pick them out myself.


As soon as the Magic Potion bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a burst of pink, blue, purple and turquoise foam, as well as snap, crackle and pops from the popping candy.

The Magic Potion bath bomb is also lightly decorated with golden shimmer, and it isn’t long until that golden shimmer starts to glide into your bath water too.

I know I say this in almost every bath bomb review but the bath art photos in this review do the Magic Potion bath bomb no justice at all.

Once I am able to pop into a Lush store to pick a non-crumbly version of Magic Potion up, I may update the photos in this review the bath art potential is so much better than I show here.

The Magic Potion bath bomb takes approximately 7 to 8 minutes to fully dissolve, leaving you with plenty of time to sit back and enjoy the show that it puts on.

I found the purple waters left behind by the Magic Potion bath bomb so smooth.

Its scent can still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath, in fact, I could still smell traces of it on my skin long into the following morning after using it. My skin still felt silky smooth for the whole of the next day too.

I really LOVE this bath bomb, as I said earlier those ordered by post could do with a more thorough level of quality control but other than that, it’s a dream product. I pray that the Magic Potion bath bomb isn’t a one-year, one-hit wonder as it really is bath bomb perfection!
