Batcurrant Lip Scrub from Lush

The Batcurrant Lip Scrub is one of two brand-new lip scrubs from Lush’s colossal 2024 Halloween line.

The main ingredient in all of Lush’s lip scrubs is caster sugar. To this day I am still lost for words that such a simple and natural mix of ingredients can do such a great job at exfoliating. It really does make me question why other cosmetic companies ever actively chose to use micro-plastics in their exfoliation products.

Lush’s lip scrubs are ridiculously underrated, if you’re on the fence about giving them a go I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

I use Lush lip scrubs almost every day so whenever a new one comes out, I always make sure I grab a pot.Using Lush lip scrubs requires a minimum amount of effort, and they cover everything your lips need to always look and feel their best.

They are the perfect product to exfoliate dry or chapped lips, and most are also very good at softening and hydrating them at the same time. Exfoliating your lips has so many benefits and thanks to Lush, it has never been easier to do.


As well as caster sugar, the Batcurrant lip scrub also contains some of the following ingredients: Organic jojoba oil, fairtrade shea butter, organic cold pressed grapeseed oil, blackcurrant absolute, coriander seed oil and davana oil.

Batcurrant has a brand new Lush scent that is delicious, both scent and taste wise. The blackcurrant absolute is probably the ingredient that comes through the strongest, it’s very fruity but has a really strong sourness to it too.

To use, simply scoop out a pea sized amount of the lip scrub with your finger then buff it on your lips. Once you’ve buffed them to your desired amount simply lick off any excess product.

Lush’s lip scrubs are obviously not meant to be eaten; BUT if a little amount of the lip scrub does accidently end up in your mouth while you are scrubbing your lips, you don’t need to worry!

The Batcurrant lip scrub is a bold shade of Cadbury purple. It has a mixture of fine and slightly chunkier grains of caster sugar.

When it comes to lip scrubs, I tend to favour the lighter (or more natural to actual lip-colour) ones, over the brightly coloured ones.

This is because once a very long time ago, I used a little too much of the bright blue, Galaxy lip scrub. It left a very slight blue tinge on my lips. Since, I have been wary and now only use a pea sized amount each time I use a lip scrub.

I am pleased to report that during use, I haven’t had any purple colour transfer from the Batcurrant lip scrub at all. As for its juicy sourness, again, I think it is comparable to the lip scrub I just mentioned, Galaxy. Yummy!

After using the lip scrub my lips feel smoother and I also find the formula very hydrating, its scent/taste fits right into the candy theme of Halloween.

Overall, I love the Batcurrant lip scrub, it’s probably my favourite lip scrub that Lush have produced this year. I’d love to see an expansion on this Lush scent. A lip balm, body scrub or body spray would be delightful!

I Want My Mummy Bath Bomb from Lush (2024)

The original I Want My Mummy bath bomb was a part of Lush’s Halloween line back in 2022; Fast forward to 2024 and the I Want My Mummy Bath Bomb has come back but with some strikingly new features.

The most obvious difference in this year’s version is the addition of the colour pink. 2022’s was all white and this years is a mixture of white and pink.

Lush have also decided to give this version of the bath bomb a completely different scent, altering the scent of a product that was already well-loved is always a gamble. Lush took the same chance with the Magic Potion Bath Bomb (2024) this year and unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan, I however kept an open mind for the new version of I Want My Mummy…

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 quite cute!

Another thing that’s very different about the 2024 version of the I Want My Mummy bath bomb is that it glows in the dark. Just like the Glow In The Dark shower gel, simply charge the bath bomb under some light before switching the light off to see it glow.

I am guessing this is why Lush decided to add the colour pink to this bath bomb, this way the white bits of the bath bomb really pop when made to glow in the dark!

This years I Want My Mummy bath bomb shares its scent with the Never Mind the Ballistics bath bomb, its scent is sharp and zesty with a subtle woody undertone. It’s a lively and refreshing fragrance, which fits right into the whole theme of being brought back from the dead… 

Some of the ingredients included in this bath bomb are lime oil, sweet wild orange oil, olibanum resinoid and the magical ingredient that makes it glow in the dark once charged, luminescent zinc-sulfide!

As soon as the I Want My Mummy bath bomb touches the water there is an explosion of pink spreading outwards from the bath bomb in foamy waves. The pink foam slowly thins out as the bath bomb slowly dissolves.

The I Want My Mummy bath bomb takes about 10 minutes to completely dissolve. The water left behind is a cloudy pink; To look at, it reminds me of the pink, fruit-and-barley, summer fruits squash that I used to drink when I was a kid.

The scent of the I Want My Mummy bath bomb lasts throughout your entire bath and remains on your skin for a good few hours after you get out too. My skin felt hydrated and appeared brighter after a long soak in its waters as well.

Overall, I did really enjoy the new-style, I Want My Mummy bath bomb. Like I said earlier, changing a previously released product (even a little bit) is always a gamble but I feel the I Want My Mummy bath bomb was different enough to its older version that I could see past all of the changes and appreciate it as if it’s a whole new bath bomb.

Glow In The Dark Shower Gel from Lush

The Glow In The Dark Shower Gel is yet another brand new Lush shower gel and comes from Lush’s Halloween 2024 collection.

I am now going to answer the very first question that everyone asks when they hear about/see this shower gel. The answer is yes, it really does glow in the dark.

The Glow In The Dark shower gel is an extension of and inspired by Lush’s Halloween soap favourite (that also glows in the dark) – the Ghost In The Dark soap.


I was lucky enough to be gifted a bottle of Glow In The Dark shower gel by Lush but have bought another bottle since. A very clear indication that I do really like it…

Lush have released so many amazing new shower gels this year and Glow In The Dark is up near the very top of my list of favourites for 2024.

We’ve actually had shower gels that share the same scent as Glow In The Dark before; The Glitch shower gel being the most recent.

Other readily available products that share this shower gels scent are the Avobath bath bomb and at the time of writing this review the Ghostie bath bomb too.

The Glow In The Dark shower gel is bright white, to get it to glow in the dark all you need to do is charge it under some light then turn the light off!

Consistency wise the Glow In The Dark shower gel is quite thick but still very easy to get out of the bottle.

Some of the ingredients included in Glow In The Dark shower gel are lemongrass infusion, fine sea salt, a phosphorescent powder (the magic that makes it glow in the dark), fresh lemon juice, lemongrass oil and bergamot oil.

Glow In The Dark’s scent is a bright and uplifting, citrusy scent. The scent is not quite as sharp in the shower gel form as it is in the Avobath bath bomb; There’s an almost muskiness to it but all in all, it’s definitely a member of the Avobath scent family.

The Glow In The Dark shower gel lathers up easily and because it’s quite thick I imagined you’d have to use more to get the most out of it but a small amount of it seems to go a very long way.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really takes over your bathroom although again, it’s not as strongly scented as the bath bomb equivalent.

Once out of the shower the Glow In The Dark scent remains on your skin for a good few hours, although it is subtle, it is still detectable. Overall, I have enjoyed using the Glow In The Dark shower gel, the glow in the dark aspect of it, makes it fun to use too!
