Zesty Body Spray from Lush

Previously known as the Calacas body spray, the Zesty Body Spray’s scent happens to be one of my most favourite Lush scents of all time. My first experience with a Zesty/Calacas scented product was when I ordered the Calacas shower gel back when Lush was all shiny and new to me.

I fell hopelessly in love after just one use and just like that, my Lush-life’s mission became trying anything and everything Lush brought out with the same fragrance.

Before the body spray’s release, I had been putting in weekly requests to Lush for a Calacas perfume for what felt like an eternity, it had been my most wanted product for well over 5 years. On the 1st of December 2018 Lush finally came through. The Lush Kitchen made a Calacas Body Spray! Since then, it has not only had a name change but has also been made into a mainline product thanks to it being so popular.

The Zesty body spray was inspired by the Day of the Dead. The Day of the Dead is celebrated throughout Mexico during the last week of October and first few days of November. It is a celebration in honour of the family and friends who are no longer with them.

Zesty contains lime, frankincense and neroli oils, the Zesty scent is sweet, sharp and thanks to the neroli oil an instant mood booster. Lush have joked that it’s so zingy it could wake the dead.

The Zesty scent is hugely popular within the Lush community and Lush have made it into many different product formats, my favourites that share its scent (other than the body spray and shower gel) are the Monsters’ Ball bath bomb, Man in the Moon bubble bar, The Enchanter bath bomb and Calacas body lotion.

Zesty is a beautiful, citrus body spray. Another thing I really like about it is that it isn’t super-duper in your face strong like some other citrusy scents. One quick spray on to my clothes leaves me smelling of it all day.  I can often still smell it on my top if I wear it the next day too.

I love wearing it on special occasions so that whenever I do get a whiff of it, I feel special.

Another thing I like to do with it is spritz it on the ends of my hair. Several people have asked me what shampoo I use as my hair smells so lovely. Overall, I am over the moon with this body spray. It has pride of place on top of my dresser next to my Celebrate and Once Upon a Time body sprays.

Mean Green Mother from Outerspace Bubble Bar from Lush

The Mean Green Mother from Outerspace Bubble Bar was an exclusive product included in the October 2022’s Lush Kitchen subscription box. Inspired by the man-eating plant in the Little Shop of Horrors, the Mean Green Mother from Outerspace bubble bar fits right into the boxes chilling-Halloween-theme.

Going forward, I am now going to refer to the Mean Green Mother from Outerspace bubble bar as just Mean Green to save us both sometime. I do wonder if Lush give their products long names to not only make them stand out but to get on our nerves a little bit too. 😉

The Mean Green bubble bar is approximately 100g, for comparison purposes the bestselling Brightside bubble bar is 200g – twice its size. Yes, the Mean Green bubble bar may be on the smaller side but if I have learnt anything from the hundreds of Lush bubble bars that I have tried before now, size doesn’t dictate a bubble bars true bubble-potential…

The Mean Green bubble bar contains the following essential oils: lime, olibanum resinoid and neroli. It shares its scent with the Calacas shower gel, Monsters’ Ball bath bomb and from this year’s Halloween line (2022) the Big Foot bath bomb.

Lush’s Calacas scent family is one of my all-time favourites, I can never get enough of it. Its lime led scent is both uplifting and zingy. Lush have combined oil of lime, neroli and olibanum to make the perfect pick-me-up scent. Bathing in a Mean Green bath will reinvigorate your mind, body and soul.

Some describe the Calacas scent as being very similar to the sweets, fruit pastilles. I adore its scent, Lush have yet to use it in a product I haven’t loved!

To use the Mean Green bubble bar, I put broken up pieces of it into a small 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.

One of my favourite things about Lush’s bubble bars is that unlike their bath bombs, bubble bars can be spread out over several baths.

I got 2 adequately bubbled bubble baths out of just the one Mean Green bubble bar without it hindering the quality of it at all. HOWEVER, I think I could have easily spread the bubble bar out over 3 baths. It may be a small bubble bar but a little amount of it certainly goes a very long way!

Once the bubble bar pieces are put under the running tap, it doesn’t take very long at all for the blanket of fluffy white bubble to form. Underneath the blanket of bubbles the water turns a glorious bright green.

A Mean Green bubble bath leaves your skin feeling as soft as silk. After getting out of the bath its beautiful lime and neroli fragrance also lasts on your skin for the rest of the day. There’s no need to lotion up once you’re out of the bath either as it leaves your skin super-hydrated.

Overall, I am clearly head over heels in love with the Mean Green Mother from Outerspace bubble bar. I am a little confused as to why it didn’t make it into the actual Halloween range this year, it’s a crime that it was only available in the Lush Kitchen Subscription Box!

Cobweb Bath Bomb from Lush

The main reason that I subscribe to the Lush Kitchen’s monthly subscription box is because sometimes it makes it possible for customers to get their hands on long-gone, discontinued products from Lush’s past.

I was therefore over the moon to see that the Cobweb Bath Bomb had made it into the Lush Kitchen’s 2022 Halloween box. Before this, I believe it had only ever been available as an online exclusive several years ago.

This smoky-grey, shimmery cobweb shaped bath bomb really stood out amongst the other treats in the 2022 Halloween box, I couldn’t help but buy another on eBay as soon as my box arrived. The Cobweb bath bomb shares its scent with the Black Pearl shower gel, (a product I promise to review soon).

The Cobweb bath bomb contains black sugar, chamomile blue oil, lavender absolute, olibanum oil and myrrh resinoid. It has one of Lush’s most relaxing scent families and is a good alternative if you’re getting a little bored of the heavily featured, Sleepy scent.

Like the Sleepy scent found in the likes of the Twilight and Sleepy bath bombs, the Cobweb bath bombs scent is rich with lavender, the Cobweb bath bomb however smells more herbal and has a generous helping of calming chamomile in it too.

If each word in the dictionary had its own fragrance, I’d like to believe that the word ‘relax’ would smell just like the Cobweb bath bomb.

At 110g the Cobweb bath bomb sits in my hand snuggly, it’s a little bit bigger than the I Want My Mummy bath bomb and a little bit smaller than the Ghostie bath bomb. It’s definitely too small to be a cobweb created by the huge Tarantula shower jelly from this year’s Halloween range! 😉

While it’s quite a plain bath bomb, the etched-in cobweb design makes it truly unique to any other bath bomb ever released by Lush. I love that the Cobweb bath bomb also has a slight shimmer to it. It’s just like a cobweb with drops of morning dew decorating it.

The photos I have included in this review do the Cobweb bath bomb no justice at all. While it doesn’t create bath art it does create the most mesmerising cloudy grey water, it reminds me of a water colour painting of a stormy or cloudy day. The Cobweb bath bomb is an incredibly quick fizzer and has completely dissolved within about 2 minutes of it being placed into the bath water. The water it leaves behind is so very sparkly. Like a star-spangled dusky nights sky.

As I said earlier, the Cobweb bath bomb’s scent is one of (if not the) most relaxing scent-family created by Lush. Laying back in its waters leaves me ready for a deep-sleep marathon. Lush really need to bring this scent back to life and throw it in to other product formats.

Lush, please bring back more old school products like this in the Lush Kitchen subscription boxes, getting to try such incredible Lush treasures is a real treat that makes my soul so very happy!

Toil and Trouble Shower Scrub from Lush

The Toil and Trouble Shower Scrub is yet another product from Lush’s huge 2022 Halloween line. Toil and Trouble isn’t just a shower scrub either; Inside the pot, sat right on top of the shower scrub you will also find 2 mini bat-shaped shower jellies too! See the series of photos below.

The Toil and Trouble scrub with jelly bats is the first of its kind so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a pot. Toil and Troubles consistency is very similar to something in between the Magic Crystals and Mamma Mia shower scrub.

Its ingredients include lavender, peppermint, orris, patchouli, sage and plenty of fine sea salt. The sea salt is the magic ingredient that makes this scrub scrubby, it is the perfect go-to product to use when you’re in need of a full-body exfoliation.

At the time of writing this review, Toil and Trouble doesn’t share a scent with any other Lush products as it’s a brand new scent. It’s rich with lavender with a sage and peppermint twist, the patchouli in it adds an autumnal aspect to the scent, in some ways it reminds me of the Lord of Misrule bath bomb and in others like the Magic bath bomb.

To use, all you must do is scoop out a small amount of scrub from the pot followed by then working it into your skin just like you would a shower gel.

A small amount of the scrub goes a very long way but please feel free to overindulge! With any exfoliator, I recommend that you pay a particular amount of special attention to any dry patches of skin that you may have, such as your knees and elbows.

What’s different about the Toil and Trouble shower scrub in comparison to the other shower scrubs by Lush is the added extras, the mini bat jellies. Lush’s website states that the jelly bats are better to use over the scrub if you are looking for a more ‘gentle cleanse’.

The shower jellies lather up well and each have lasted me about 3 showers. I decided to use them after giving myself a full-body scrub, the skin on my arms, legs and chest have never felt smoother or cleaner.

Toil and Trouble is an excellent exfoliator, not only does it buff away all of your dead, dry skin it also leaves the skin that’s left behind super hydrated too. This is a huge bonus as exfoliating can be a little harsh on your skin.

For me personally, the scrubbier a shower scrub is, the better but I know super-scrubby isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Toil and Trouble is the perfect balance of scrubby and soothing in my opinion.

I will admit, I’m a little disappointed that Lush still haven’t made a shower scrub that shares its scent with the Calacas shower gel. Calacas is not just one of my most favourite Halloween scents it is one of my most favourite Lush scents of all time.

I am mentioning the Calacas scent because there is a similarly named, Calacas scented bubble bar from Lush called Bubble Bubble Toil and Trouble. Sadly, the name is the only similarity between the 2 products. Both products have completely different scents.

While I am still hoping that Lush release a Calacas scented shower scrub I did really enjoy Toil and Trouble.

The extra mini shower jellies really added to the scrub and I can see Toil and Trouble being quite popular to Lush customers that don’t have bath tubs. Not everyone would have tried shower jellies before so adding them to this scrub is a good way to introduce them to shower-jelly-reluctant customers!

UFO Bath Bomb from Lush

The UFO Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2022 Halloween line. 

UFO is not the average type of bath bomb either, it has been specifically designed so that it can be used over 3 baths, although most people (including myself) use it all as one as it makes one truly epic Halloween bath!

The UFO bath bomb is 3 different products in 1, the photo above is all of the bath bomb pieced together. The photo below is the bath bomb with its lid off, inside of it are green bath salts. Photo 3 in this post is the bath bombs lid which can be used as a bath bomb on its own too.

As I said earlier, I used all 3 parts of this product in one bath starting with tipping the green bath salt into the bath water as the bath was filling up.

I was really surprised at how quickly the green bath salt changed the colour of the water, to be honest I was surprised it changed the colour of the water at all!

The bath water was a glorious neon green before I’d even finished running the bath, the bath salt also left the bath water so incredibly soft.

I then put the lid in the photo above on top of the yellow piece, placing it back together again before putting the UFO bath bomb into the water.

Upon putting it in to the water you are greeted with a gentle hiss as yellow foam bursts out of the bomb. As the yellow part of the UFO bath bomb is hollow it doesn’t take long for the blue lid-part of the bath bomb to come into contact with the water too.

Blue and yellow foam slowly starts to create swirling patterns on the water’s surface, the colours and bath art it created remind me of the now retired, Fizzbanger bath bomb.

After about 5 minutes, all of the UFO bath bomb has fully dissolved, and you are left with a darker green (but still neon green) bath water.

Now that I have talked through how I personally used the UFO bath bomb let’s get into its scent.

The UFO bath bomb has a brand new Lush scent, on Lush’s website they describe the UFO bath bomb as ‘lemonade-scented’. When I sniff it, I don’t get reminded of lemonade at all, I get a slightly more complicated scent. It’s a tart and almost smoky, lemon and blackcurrant like fragrance.

The UFO bath bomb contains coarse sea salt, blackcurrant absolute and Sicilian lemon and lemongrass oils.

Lush’s website also says that the UFO bath bomb contains popping candy which I believe is in amongst the green bath salt, although, my UFO bath bomb didn’t seem to contain any popping candy. There were no snaps, crackles, or pops for me.

As I said earlier, the UFO bath bomb takes approximately 5 minutes to fully dissolve, some other bath bombs that include sea salt such as the Geo Phyzz bath bomb have bigger chunks of salt so can scratch your bottom a little, UFO’s salt is however a lot finer and seems to dissolve very quickly!

Laying back in the bath water left behind by the UFO bath bomb is a true escape from the stresses of real life. I find UFO both uplifting and calming.

The bath water is silky smooth, and my skin laps it up, upon getting out of the bath my skin feels and looks brighter too. The scent doesn’t last on my skin very long.

UFO also isn’t the most hydrating of bath bombs, but it doesn’t leave my skin any dryer than normal.

This year’s Halloween range was Lush’s biggest yet and sadly I did overlook the UFO bath bomb over the likes of the Big Foot, Screamo and I Want My Mummy bath bombs, this wasn’t intentional, I guess one of them had to be the last one I used…

I think I left it until last as it’s so different from the standard bath bomb. We’ve had similar products such as the Snow Fairy Lights bath bomb but nothing like this for Halloween.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the UFO bath bomb, I hope Lush introduce us to more products with colourful bath salts in, in the future. I think they really do help soften the water and make bath time a lot more fun. 😊

Cyclops Bubble Bar from Lush

The Cyclops Bubble Bar is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2022 Halloween line.

Living up to its name it of course has just one eye; This and its peculiar cone-shape make it a stand-out Halloween product that fits perfectly into Lush’s weird yet wonderful Halloween line!

The Cyclops bubble bar is approximately 100g, for comparison purposes the bestselling The Comforter bubble bar is 200g – twice its size. Yes, the Cyclops bubble bar may be on the smaller side, BUT if I’ve learnt anything from the hundreds of Lush products that I have tried, size doesn’t dictate the products quality.

The Cyclops bubble bar contains the following essential oils: buchu, litsea cubeba and sweet wild orange. Its scent is fairly new to Lush and is described as a ‘passion fruit’ fragrance.

It is delicious, one sniff leaves me craving a tropical cocktail.

The fruitiness of it really lifts my mood and helps me relax – holiday mode activated! It is quite a powerful fragrance in comparison to the more gentle scent of Bubble Lugosi (this years other new Halloween bubble bar) but it’s a good powerful, I always struggle to describe scents but Cyclops literally makes my mouth water.

To use the Cyclops bubble bar, I put broken up pieces of it and its single candy eye, 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 their bath bombs, bubble bars can be spread out over several baths. I got 2 adequately bubbled bubble baths out of just the one Cyclops bubble bar, using less didn’t hinder the quality of it at all. Thinking back I could have easily spread it out over 3 baths. It may be a small bubble bar but a little amount of it goes a very long way.

It doesn’t take long for the blanket of fluffy white bubble to form once you run Cyclops under the tap. Underneath the blanket of fluffy, white bubbles the water turns a bright and super vibrant pink.

A Cyclops bubble bath leaves your skin feeling like silk. Its captivatingly-fruity-scent also lasts on your skin for the rest of the day once you’ve got out of the bath.

Overall, I am so pleased that Lush released the Cyclops bubble bar, I’d go as far as to say it’s one of my favourites of the new bubble bars from this year.

I can see this bubble bar selling very well and I’d love to see the same scent carried out in other product formats in the not-so-distant future. Hint, hint Lush; I’d be over the moon with a bath bomb or shower gel equivalent!

Screamo Bath Bomb from Lush

The Screamo Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product first released as a part of Lush’s 2022 Halloween line. Any horror-movie-buff can see that it is clearly inspired by the film, Scream.

It’s a bright-white screaming face with dark blue holes for its eyes and mouth and a slight imprint of a nose too.

While I was sad that the Monsters’ Ball bath bomb didn’t make a return for Halloween this year I was happy to see a much bigger Halloween line with several new bath bombs thrown in, Screamo being one of them.

Last year Lush actually released a reusable bubble bar equivalent of the Screamo bath bomb but it didn’t sell as well due to it falling apart immediately after first use, sometimes even before you’d had a chance to use it like mine did, (the reason why I never got round to reviewing it).

Even with this at the back of my mind I was still keen to give the Screamo bath bomb a go.

The Screamo bath bomb contains a long list of ingredients, some of them include; benzoin resinoid, ylang ylang and almond essential oils. It has a rich and incredibly sharp, cherry-almond scent. It’s mouth-wateringly yummy!

At 120g the Screamo bath bomb fits snuggly in my hand it’s a little bit bigger than the Butterbear bath bomb and a little bit smaller than the Ghostie bath bomb.

With Screamo’s contrasting white and royal-blue colours I knew that the bath art it would create would be dramatic to say the least.

As soon as the Screamo bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of royal-blue foam. Blue bubbles slowly fizzle out of it as the bath bomb floats upon the surface of the water.

The photos I have included in this review do the Screamo bath bomb no justice at all. While the bath art it creates is mainly blue with small streaks of white and not a rainbow of different colours, it was still incredibly mesmerising to watch as it slowly spun around, swirling gently in the water.

Underneath the blue foam, the water turns a deeply inviting, royal-blue.

As the bath bomb slowly dissolves away the bath water becomes softer and softer, almost silky like. Screamo takes a good 10 minutes to fully dissolve taking a lot longer than the other new Halloween bath bomb, Big Foot.

As I said earlier, the Screamo bath bomb creates the most incredibly soft bathwater and I found that it left my skin feeling hydrated and silky-smooth too.

The bath bombs delicious cherry-almond scent is what really wins it for me though. That moreish scent can still be smelt on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day once you’re out of the bath too.

Overall, I really enjoyed the Screamo bath bomb, the bath art wasn’t a rainbow of colours but sometimes, less really is more!

Blood Orange Shower Gel from Lush

The Blood Orange Shower Gel is a brand-new release from Lush; It is a limited-edition product that is a part of Lush’s 2022 Halloween line.

Blood Orange is a clear orange shower gel and has a thick but easy to get out of the bottle consistency. Consistency and visually wise, it is very similar to the discontinued Bubbly shower gel from past Winter lines.

Blood Orange contains a long list of ingredients; fresh orange juice and the following essential oils, organic blood orange, bergamot, davana and geranium oils. It’s a new Lush scent that I feel is fairly similar to the likes of the recently released, Mimosa shower gel.

I’m always honest in my reviews and in my opinion, the fact that the Blood Orange shower gel is so close in scent to the aforementioned Mimosa shower gel, has left me struggling to get excited about it. However, if I had to choose a favourite between Mimosa and Blood Orange, I’d pick Blood Orange because I prefer its less complicated scent.

If you enjoy Lush’s citrusy scents then I’d recommend Blood Orange, from the bottle it smells just like a freshly peeled orange but once mixed with the shower steam and hot water the blood orange ingredients’ bitterness really comes through, it’s sharp, energising and oh-so-fruity. If you’re a fan of the less in-your-face, more basic-scented-products, Blood Orange would be a good choice to go for.

Blood Orange is by no means an unpleasant shower gel but I will admit to preferring past Halloween shower gels a lot more. To me, its scent doesn’t scream Halloween in quite the same way as the Calacas and Very Very Frightening shower gels did and still do.

When it comes down to their newly released shower gels, Lush have really outdone themselves this year. As I have said in my previous 2022 shower gel reviews, Lush’s shower gel selection was in desperate need of new life and 2022 has been a brilliant year for Lush shower gels. Blood Orange isn’t my favourite from this year’s new releases,BUT I liked it enough to get a bottle of it straight after trying a sample of it from my local Lush store.

The Blood Orange shower gel lathers up easily and a very small amount of it goes a long way. As I touched upon earlier, once you start to lather it up and it mixes with the hot water and steam of the shower its scent becomes a punchy and bitter citrus-fruit-cocktail, it is zesty enough to awaken the weariest of souls! Once out of the shower its scent remains on your skin for the next few hours and it does a really good job of cleansing your skin too.

Overall, I do really like the Blood Orange shower gel, but I feel like Lush have released much better Halloween shower gels before. I’d go as far to say that I think Blood Orange would work better as a Spring-time-scent.

I Want My Mummy Bath Bomb from Lush

The I Want My Mummy Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2022 Halloween line. Its sweet-honey fragrance is very similar to the scent family found in the Shoot for the Stars bath bomb HOWEVER there’s an extra element to its scent; My nose also detects something that smells like lashings of sticky caramel in it too.

It’s mouth-wateringly good and leaves me craving biscuits. Just writing this introduction is making me hungry…

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 ridiculously cute!

The I Want My Mummy bath bomb contains Brazilian orange and bergamot oils. To look at, it doesn’t stand out as much as the likes of the bold and brightly coloured Big Foot or Bat Art bath bombs but I’ll say it now and I’ll say it again, never judge a bath bomb until you’ve given it a whirl in a bath tub.

Like the Butterball bath bomb, I Want My Mummy is very plain to look at and has very few ingredients in, you won’t get bath art from it but sometimes bath art isn’t all bath bombs are good for.

No, the I Want My Mummy bath bomb doesn’t spout a kaleidoscope of colours once placed into the water BUT its scent and skin soothing ingredients make it a bath bomb you need to try at least once.

I recommend using the I Want My Mummy bath bomb in a hot-as-you-can-stand-it bath, this really helps the cupuaçu butter in it melt into the water, ready for your skin to soak up.

It’s perfect for soothing tired, dry skin. If you’re like me and need an extra splash of hydration on your skin this time of year, it’s well worth giving the I Want My Mummy bath bomb a try.

I usually use the aforementioned Butterball bath bomb at this time of year for the same skin-hydration reasons; Both the Butterball and I Want My Mummy bath bombs are very good at keeping your skin moisturised without having to slather yourself with a body lotion. It’s a quick and easy way to ensure your skin is in tip-top condition while also saving you time as you do not need to lotion up after getting out of the bath.

As soon as the I Want My Mummy bath bomb comes into contact with the water you are greeted with a gentle hiss of soft white bubbles. It’s a fairly quick fizzer so it doesn’t take long for it to fully dissolve leaving you with soft, milky-like, luxuriously-smooth bath water to lay back in and enjoy.

My skin adores an I Want My Mummy bath and its delicious scent remains on your skin for the best part of the day after using it too.

Overall I love the I Want My Mummy bath bomb, it may not win any prizes for bath art but its scent and how it leaves my skin feeling makes it a firm favourite. It is very similar to the Butterball bath bomb, but I think I may just like it more. It’s nice to have a bath bomb to use that’s just as moisturising as Butterball but with a different scent.

Lush, consider yourself warned; I’ll be very disappointed if this bath bomb didn’t come back for Halloween next year!

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!
