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?

Bob Bath Bomb from Lush

Alongside the recent release of the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice film, Lush have created a limited edition collection that’s as bold and quirky as the film itself; Enter the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice X Lush collaboration!

Today I am reviewing, The Bob Bath Bomb, I was lucky enough to receive one in the post from Lush a few weeks ago.

The Bob bath bomb is based on a character with a bright blue shrunken head, he isn’t in the first film very much at all. I admit, I haven’t had a chance to watch the new film yet so my only knowledge of him is as the very memorable extra from the franchise’s first film.

Bob is probably the strangest looking bath bomb that I’ve ever seen from Lush. Its design screams Tim Burton, with its slightly distressed looking, huge and very round white eyes. It also has a caved-in nose with two slits for nostrils, a small patch of black on its top, representing Bob’s sparse hair and a row of black teeth that are set in a way that makes him look like he’s grimacing.

Each of the, The Bob bath bombs are approximately 190g each fitting snuggly in my hand.

If you remember and liked the Flamingo Egg bath bomb, you’ll be pleased to know that Bob shares that bath bombs scent.

I can understand why people who haven’t seen either of the Bettlejuice films may think that the Bob bath bomb is the scariest and most peculiar character they have ever seen. Some may even question why Lush made a bath bomb of its head over so many other Bettlejuice things.

While I haven’t seen the new film YET, I have heard that Bob is a very lovable character that becomes very significant in the telling of the Bettlejuice universes story.

The Bob bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients, labdanum resinoid, Sicilian lemon oil and vetivert oil.

Its scent is best described as one of Lush’s tamer Lush-scent-families, it’s powdery, sweet and has an earthy, warm undertone to it. The Sicilian lemon oil adds a zesty lightness to the overall scent that leaves you feeling uplifted and refreshed. Some describe it as being quite similar to banana foam sweets which ties in with the films Banana Boat song.

As soon as the Bob bath bomb touches your bath water, you are greeted with an explosion of bright blue foam. It doesn’t take very long at all for the water to completely take over the bath bomb as it slowly spins around your bath sending its blue fizz all over.

What I wasn’t expecting after about two minutes of the bath bomb being in the water was an explosion of bright pink foam in amongst all of the blue!

My photos in this review do not showcase the Bob bath bombs true bath art potential at all. Where I wasn’t really expecting any bath art, it made using it that little bit more exciting, especially when you factor in that pink is my all-time favourite colour.

It took about four minutes for The Bob bath bomb to fully dissolve, and the water left behind is a blueish shade of purple.

The scent remains on your skin for a good few hours after exiting the bath and it leaves your skin soft too. Overall, I am very impressed with this bath bomb, it has reminded me of the important lesson of never judging a book by its cover.

The Afterlife Bath Bomb from Lush

Alongside the recent release of the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice film, Lush have created a limited edition collection that’s as bold and quirky as the film itself; Enter the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice X Lush collaboration! 

Today I am reviewing, The Afterlife Bath Bomb after Lush kindly sent me it to try out.

The Afterlife bath bomb looks very similar to the Intergalactic bath bomb but instead of blue, pink and yellow it is black, green and purple.

I admit, I haven’t had a chance to watch the new film yet, but I am hopefully seeing it next week as I am eager to see what’s been going on in the Beetlejuice universe since the first film came out a few years before I was born!

Each of the, The Afterlife bath bombs are approximately 185g each fitting snuggly in my hand.

Any fans of the Grape Soda body spray will be pleased to hear that the, The Afterlife bath bomb shares the same scent.

The Afterlife bath bomb isn’t the only bath bomb that has been released with the Grape Soda Lush-scent-family this year either; Back at the very start of 2024, the UK version of the Big Squeeze bath bomb also shared the Grape Soda scent

The Afterlife bath bomb contains some of the following ingredients, juniperberry oil, sweet wild orange oil and plenty of popping candy.

The Grape Soda Lush-scent-family is best described as smelling like candied sour grape. It’s quite an artificial scent but not at all unpleasant.

When I reviewed the body spray equivalent, I did a little research on actual Grape Soda (which is the drink that inspired the Lush fragrance).

It’s a very popular drink in the USA but not as popular here in the UK, however, the body spray and this bath bomb seem to be flying off of the shelves everywhere it has been released so this may just change!

As soon as the, The Afterlife bath bomb touches your bath water, you are greeted with an explosion of black, green and purple foam. I couldn’t quite believe just how pigmented all of the colours were even in the water.

The foam is so vivid and bright throughout; The spooky, clashing colours really drags you into the world of Bettlejuice.

Once in the bath, the popping candy in the, The Afterlife bath bomb doesn’t take long to make its presence known.

In fact, the popping candy continued its show, popping away right until the last drop of water disappeared down the plug hole. I don’t think I’ve ever used a bath bomb with this much popping candy before.

The bath art from the, The Afterlife bath bomb is similar to the bath art created by the Intergalactic bath bomb that I mentioned earlier, just with the, The Afterlife bath bombs colours instead.

It took about seven minutes for The Afterlife bath bomb to fully dissolve. The water left behind looks black but is actually just an incredibly dark shade of purple.

The scent is intense but softens somewhat on your skin. I think I prefer the scent of it on my skin once I am out of the bath over the bold scent it is while floating in your bath water.

Overall, I am very impressed with this bath bomb, it left my skin bright, soft and hydrated. The only aspect of it that I have found disappointing is the fact it’s a collaboration product so once it’s gone, it’s gone. I’m going to miss it very much!
