Scan Me For Scares Shower Gel from Lush

The Scan Me For Scares Shower Gel is yet another brand new Lush product that comes from Lush’s Halloween 2024 collection. I was lucky enough to be gifted a bottle of it by Lush but have bought a bottle of it too.

I can’t quite believe how many new shower gels Lush have treated us to in 2024.

This year’s Halloween range not only includes the brand new Scan Me For Scares shower gel but also the brand new, Glow In The Dark shower gel too.

The Scan Me For Scares shower gel is a dark shade of autumnal red and is shimmery throughout.


Past Lush-shower-gels with any shimmer in them would often separate, the shimmer collecting at the bottom of the bottle of shower gel. This left them needing a good shake to get the shower gels back to looking how they did when first bottled up; Something that wasn’t always possible to do.

Over the last 18 or so months Lush seem to have however mastered the art of making sure the sparkly aspect of their shower gels now no longer separate. The Scan Me For Scares shower gel is a perfect example of this innovation.

The shimmer in Scan Me For Scares is a similar dark red to the shower gel giving it an almost cat eye reflection effect when the light hits it.

Consistency wise the Scan Me For Scares shower gel is quite thick but still very easy to get out of the bottle.

Some of the ingredients included in the Scan Me For Scares shower gel are an infusion of cranberry, fine sea salt, corn syrup, cedarwood oil, vetivert oil and almond essential oil.

Scent wise, I’d describe the Scan Me For Scares shower gel as almond led and woody. It’s a rich, creamy marzipan-sweet-scent that has a subtle tartness to it too thanks to the cranberry infusion.

The Scan Me For Scares shower gel lathers up easily. With it being a little thicker, 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 long way. It lathers up into a lighter red foam too which is different to most other shower gels that foam up white.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really takes over your bathroom. If you’re a fan of eating anything marzipan based, you’ll really enjoy using this shower gel.

The most unique part of this shower gel is however what is on its bottle. There is a QR code above the name of the shower gel that you can scan with your phone’s camera. This QR code takes you to a playlist of Spotify songs that will help you slip right into the theme of Halloween.

Once out of the shower the Scan Me For Scares scent remains on your skin for a good few hours; Although it is subtle, it is still very much detectable.

Overall, I have enjoyed using the Scan Me For Scares shower gel, I think its scent is more suited to Christmas than Halloween BUT I loved the idea of the playlist that comes with it!

Cherry Pop Shower Gel from Lush

At the time of writing this review, the Cherry Pop Shower Gel has only ever been available in September 2024’s Lush Kitchen subscription box.

It was my favourite item from subscription box 52 and it seems a lot of customers feel the same way. It has proven very popular within the Lush community, so popular that I think Lush are starting to regret not making it a part of their 2024 Halloween line.

Spoiler alert… I LOVE the Cherry Pop shower gel; I have my fingers crossed that it one day becomes a main line shower gel, or at the very least, that Lush release it in a limited edition drop. It’s a crime that I only have one bottle. 🙁


We’ve had a lot of brand new shower gels this year, Super Milk, Posh Chocolate and Fiona being the ones that first come to mind, BUT none of them have been quite as irresistible as the Cherry Pop shower gel!

The Cherry Pop shower gels fragrance is a brand new Lush scent. To me, the scent of Cherry Pop is the truest to the actual scent of cherries that Lush has ever created.

Some of the ingredients contained in the Cherry Pop shower gel are, cherry infusion, organic agave syrup, balsamic vinegar, labdanum resinoid, cinnamon leaf oil, lime oil and almond essential oil.

Earlier I said that the Cherry Pop shower gel is the truest to the actual scent of cherries that Lush has ever created. It doesn’t however smell of just cherries. It’s sweet with a tarty undertone, it smells just like the taste of those sugar coated, sour cherry sweets.

The best thing about the Cherry Pop shower gel is its unique colour, or should I say colours? – In the bottle the Cherry Pop shower gel looks dark green but as you pour the shower gel out, it becomes a shade of dark, cherry red.

I’m not 100% on the science behind it, it could very well just be an optical illusion but the unique way it appears to change colour had me very excited. Some people get excited over cars, others bird watching; Me? I get excited about Lush products! 😋

Consistency wise the Cherry Pop shower gel is quite thick but still very easy to get out of the bottle.

It lathers up easily and is super hydrating on your skin, it turns into a white almost foam-like-paste that when mixed with water, cleanses my body effortlessly.

Mixed in with the steam and hot-shower-water the scent really takes over your bathroom, it’s delicious. I hope Lush not only make this shower gel available in stores but also bring out other products that share its same cherry based scent. The idea of a body spray equivalent is making me salivate!

Once out of the shower the Cherry Pop scent remains on your skin for a good few hours, Overall, I am obsessed with this shower gel. It’s one of my favourite products to come out of not just 2024 but all 52 of the Lush Kitchen Subscription boxes so far!

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!
