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.
