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.

Bubble Lugosi Bubble Bar from Lush


The Bubble Lugosi Bubble Bar is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2022 Halloween line. Designed to look just like a vampire, this glow-in-the-dark bubble bar was one of the first of this year’s Halloween products to catch my attention.

You may recognise the Bubble Lugosi bubble bars scent as it also features in one of Lush’s all-year-round products the Blackberry bath bomb. Bubble Lugosi is also not the first Halloween bubble bar to share its scent with the Blackberry bath bomb as it can also be found in the now-retired, Bewitched bubble bar from past Halloween lines.

The Bubble Lugosi bubble bar is approximately 100g so small in comparison to other bubble bars in its price range such as The Comforter – The Comforter is twice its size and the same price.

The Bubble Lugosi bubble bar contains bergamot and olibanum oils, a combination that has to be one of the most relaxing blends Lush have ever come up with. Anything with this bubble bars scent is a hit in my house. It’s fruity yet warm, to me, it is completely irresistible!

It brightens your mood while lulling you into a more relaxed state of mind, I find it particularly effective before bed, using it always helps me drift off to sleep much quicker. If you favour the products with a less-complicated scent, then Bubble Lugosi would be a great choice for you to try out.

As mentioned above, Bubble Lugosi glows in the dark – See above photo. While this doesn’t really make much difference in use; The bubbles glow very faintly but not enough for me to really notice it (this may differ depending on where your bathtub and bathroom lighting is) it does make bath time a little more interesting.

To use the Bubble Lugosi 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 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.

One of my favourite things about Lush’s bubble bars is that unlike bath bombs, bubble bars can be spread out over several baths. You could get at least 3 adequately bubbled bubble baths out of just the one Bubble Lugosi bubble bar without it hindering the quality of it at all, making it good value for money.

It doesn’t take long for the blanket of fluffy white bubbles to form. Underneath the blanket of fluffy, white bubbles the water turns a blue-like-purple, the photo above does the colour of the water no justice at all.

A Bubble Lugosi bubble bath leaves your skin silky-smooth and well nourished. Its scent lasts on your skin for several hours after getting out of the bath too.

Overall, I am glad Lush released this. At first I wondered what the point was considering we’d already had a bubble bar with the same fragrance in past Halloween lines BUT it was actually really fun revisiting the scent in a slightly different way. I can see this bubble bar selling very well, especially with it being glow-in-the-dark!

Ghost in the Dark Soap from Lush

Ghost in the Dark Soap

When I found out that Lush were bringing out a Halloween soap that not only glows in the dark (see below photo) but also shares its scent with the Avobath bath bomb, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.

When the Ghost in the Dark Soap arrived on my doorstep I was pleasantly surprised at how big it was, it fits more than snuggly in my hand. I was also very pleased with how much it mirrored the aforementioned bath bombs scent, Avobath. With my eyes closed I’m not sure I could tell them apart in a sniff test!

As Lush products go, I know the soaps aren’t always the most interesting items that Lush have to offer. With the Ghost in the Dark soap having the ability to glow in the dark, a whole new level of fun has come to a no-longer-simple bar of soap. The first question everyone asks when they realise that this bar of soap actually really does glow in the dark is, ‘HOW?!!’

The magic ingredient is called luminescent zinc sulfide. I was going to do a whole paragraph on it but then I remembered who I was and how bad I was at Chemistry at school, I have therefore linked up to Lush’s website (here) as I think it would be better all round to let the experts explain the science behind it.

Rich with mood and energy boosting ingredients such as lemongrass and bergamot oils, a quick wash with a bar of Ghost in the Dark will banish away any early morning fatigue you may be feeling; Sharpening your senses and leaving you alert and ready to face the day.

Although I have only used this soap on my hands so far, (I don’t normally use bars of soap anywhere else as my skin is notoriously fussy) it does lather very quickly and it’s really hydrating too, something I never expect from a bar of soap as they normally dry my skin out.

Overall I think the Ghost in the Dark soap is a fantastic addition to Lush’s Halloween line. It has certainly helped me get through the darker Winter mornings, I have also used it several times now and although it has shrunk a tiny bit, I can see it’s going to last for quite some time making it excellent value for money.

The fact it glows in the dark adds a novelty factor to it too,  I imagine this has helped it sell as it’s quite the unique selling point!

I have very much enjoyed exploring the Avobath scent in the soap format. I have my fingers crossed that Lush use this scent again very soon as it really is a life saver in the mornings when you’re feeling groggy.
