Invaders From Mars Bubble Bar from Lush

The Invaders From Mars Bubble Bar is a brand-new, limited edition product from Lush’s 2024 Halloween line.

This quirky bubble bar has been created in the shape of a Martians head. Its dark pink brain is visible, and it has a bright green face with two huge circular eyes. Alongside its eyes it also has two large slits for nostrils and a prominent dimple on its chin. 

It’s actually quite skeletal to look at and has a cheeky but somewhat bewildered smile on its face. It doesn’t have the prettiest of faces but I’m guessing that all Martians think the same about human faces!

With it being pink and green it has a similar colour palette to the Lord of Misrule bath bomb (although its colouring is all that the Invaders From Mars bubble bar has in common with the Lord of Misrule bath bomb).


At approximately 120g each the Invaders From Mars bubble bar fits perfectly in my hand.

The Invaders From Mars bubble bar contains some of the following ingredients: lime oil, sweet wild orange oil and olibanum resinoid.

It shares its scent with the Never Mind The Ballistics bath bomb.

Some of the products that share its scent are the 2024 version of the I Want My Mummy bath bomb, the Out Of This World bath bomb, the Tunnel Of Love soap and Fun For All The Family bubble spinner.

The Invaders From Mars bubble bars scent is best described as zesty, fruity and oh so vibrant… It is bold, a little sharp and also has a slightly woody undertone in it that never fails to lighten my mood whenever I am around it.

To use the non-reusable bubble bars like Invaders From Mars, I break them up then stick the bubble bar pieces into a sieve and let the running-tap spill over it.

This method is the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted and through trial and error, I have worked out that it is the best way to get the most out of your bubble bar, bubble wise.

One of the best thing about the Invaders From Mars bubble bar is just how far such a small amount of it goes.

You can get (at the very least) two baths out of just the one bubble bar without compromising on its scent quality and bubble amount. If you did however feel like you wanted to use more of it per bath, you can always add more, you are in charge after all!

A blanket of fluffy white bubbles starts to form as soon as you place the broken-up pieces of the Invaders From Mars bubble bar under the running tap.

Underneath the blanket of fluffy white bubbles, the water takes on a slightly lighter shade of what mulled wine usually looks like.

The bath water created by the Invaders From Mars bubble bar is incredibly soft and has such an uplifting and powerful fragrance. Using the Invaders From Mars bubble bar also really made a difference to the softness of my skin.

Overall, I loved using the Invaders From Mars bubble bar, you can still smell its fruity scent on you for several hours after and I also like that it isn’t your typical, bog-standard spooky Halloween product too, I adore its fun and quirky design!

Hocus Pocus Soakus Bubble Bar from Lush

The Hocus Pocus Soakus Bubble Bar is a brand-new, limited edition product from Lush’s 2024 Halloween line. I was lucky enough to be gifted a bar by Lush.

Design wise, the Hocus Pocus Soakus bubble bar looks and is made in the exact same way as the year round best-selling bubble bars, Brightside, The Comforter and Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds.

Lush get two different coloured bits of bubble-bar-dough then roll them together. The miniature sized ones are then squished from the top, a bit like you would do when laying cookies out on their baking tray. The larger sized bubbles are made a little differently, they are rolled into a big sausage shape and then chopped into slices (See above photo)

Each of these methods is how Lush get the beautiful bubble bar to look so perfectly swirled!

You can only buy the full sized Hocus Pocus Soakus bubble bars individually, but the smaller sized ones are available in some of the Halloween giftsets.

The Hocus Pocus Soakus bubble bar has two colours, a bright yellowish-green and white. It is also no ordinary bubble bar as it glows in the dark.

At approximately 200g each the full sized Hocus Pocus Soakus bubble bars are one of Lush’s biggest bubble bars currently available (if you don’t include the supersized ones anyway!).

The Hocus Pocus Soakus bubble bar contains some of the following ingredients: lemongrass oil, bergamot oil and luminescent zinc sulfide – (the magical ingredient that makes the bubble bar glow in the dark!)

It shares its scent with the Avobath bath bomb and Glow In The Dark shower gel that is also a part of this year’s Halloween line.

The Hocus Pocus Soakus bubble bars scent is best described as a bright and uplifting, citrusy scent. Products that share its fragrance are often described as clean, energising, sharp and zesty, it’s the perfect scent to get you relaxed and revitalised all at the same time.

To use the non-reusable bubble bars like Hocus Pocus Soakus, I break them up then stick the bubble bar pieces into a sieve and let the running-tap spill over it.

This method is the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted and through trial and error, I have worked out that it is the best way to get the most out of your bubble bar, bubble wise.

The best thing about the Hocus Pocus Soakus bubble bar (apart from it glowing in the dark) is just how far such a small amount of it goes.

You can get (at the very least) three baths out of just the one bubble bar without compromising on its scent quality and bubble amount. If you did however feel like you wanted to use more of it per bath, you can always add more, you are in charge after all!

The blanket of fluffy white bubbles starts to grow as soon as you place the broken-up pieces of the Hocus Pocus Soakus Bubble Bar under the running tap.

Underneath the fast-building blanket of fluffy, white bubbles the water is turning a neon yellow colour, I didn’t get to test out this theory but apparently if you charge the bubble bar in light before running the bath, the bubbles glow faintly if you turn off the light.

The water underneath the bubbles is incredibly soft, I don’t think there’s been a bubble bar this hydrating on the skin for a long time. I felt almost like I had to rinse myself off! The scent lasted throughout the bath and lingered in the bathroom’s air and on my skin long after pulling the plug.

Overall, I really enjoyed the Hocus Pocus Soakus bubble bar, it really helped blast away any tiredness I had been feeling as well as lifting my mood.

Brain Freeze Bath Bomb from Lush

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

As you can see, the Brain Freeze bath bomb has been created to look like a cartoon-version of a human skull. It is mostly white but has two dark blue, deep set eye sockets.

If this isn’t your first Lush Halloween, you may recognise the shape of the Brain Freeze bath bomb. This is because it is hand-pressed in the exact same mould as the Bonehead bubble bar from the 2023 Halloween line.

Each Brain Freeze bath bomb is approximately 130g fitting snuggly in my hand.

Some of the ingredients included in the Brain Freeze bath bomb are peppermint oil, cypress oil, spearmint oil, fine sea salt and a pinch of popping candy. You’ll recognise the bath bombs scent if you’re familiar with the past Lush product, the Melomint bubble bar.

The mixture of peppermint and spearmint oils makes for a cool and refreshing bathing experience, making the ‘Brain Freeze’ name perfect for this bath bomb…

The Brain Freeze’s scent is best described as soft yet fresh, crisp and a little woody too.

I feel as if the cypress oil in it stops the peppermint from being as sharp as it could be. Which isn’t a bad thing at all, I quite enjoy the more subtle and sweeter notes that the Brain Freeze bath bomb offers.

As an incredibly sleepy person, I love a minty product that blasts you awake but at this time of year I don’t want a product to cool me down in the same way as I would in the Summer months. The subtle minty freshness of the Brain Freeze bath bomb is perfect for the cooler Autumn months as it doesn’t leave your teeth chattering but still has a little kick.

As soon as the Brain Freeze bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of dark blue foam at its top, and a lighter, sky blue foam at its bottom. The soft and gently refreshing scent slowly fills your bathroom as the water takes hold of the bath bomb.

Being honest, I did expect more bath art from the Brain Freeze bath bomb, and I also wouldn’t have known it had popping candy in it at all, had I not read the ingredients.

I have however seen other customers upload photos of bath art from this bath bomb to Instagram, they were lucky to get purple and various shades of blue swirls out of their Brain Freeze bath bomb!

The Brain Freeze bath bomb took just over six minutes to fully dissolve, leaving you with plenty of time to lay back and relax in its warm, sea-salt enriched, skin-softening, dark blue water.

The cool fresh scent is more subtle nearer the end of your bath but can still be detected on your skin for a few hours after getting out of the bath.

My skin felt like silk once I was dry and out of the bath, there was no need to moisturise with a body lotion afterwards.

I thoroughly enjoyed using the Brain Freeze bath bomb, I’d have maybe liked a bit more bath art but other than that it was a very enjoyable Halloween bath bomb!
