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.
