Brain Freeze Bath Bomb from Lush

The Brain Freeze Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited edition product from Lush’s 2024 Halloween line.

As you can see, the Brain Freeze bath bomb has been created to look like a cartoon-version of a human skull. It is mostly white but has two dark blue, deep set eye sockets.

If this isn’t your first Lush Halloween, you may recognise the shape of the Brain Freeze bath bomb. This is because it is hand-pressed in the exact same mould as the Bonehead bubble bar from the 2023 Halloween line.

Each Brain Freeze bath bomb is approximately 130g fitting snuggly in my hand.

Some of the ingredients included in the Brain Freeze bath bomb are peppermint oil, cypress oil, spearmint oil, fine sea salt and a pinch of popping candy. You’ll recognise the bath bombs scent if you’re familiar with the past Lush product, the Melomint bubble bar.

The mixture of peppermint and spearmint oils makes for a cool and refreshing bathing experience, making the ‘Brain Freeze’ name perfect for this bath bomb…

The Brain Freeze’s scent is best described as soft yet fresh, crisp and a little woody too.

I feel as if the cypress oil in it stops the peppermint from being as sharp as it could be. Which isn’t a bad thing at all, I quite enjoy the more subtle and sweeter notes that the Brain Freeze bath bomb offers.

As an incredibly sleepy person, I love a minty product that blasts you awake but at this time of year I don’t want a product to cool me down in the same way as I would in the Summer months. The subtle minty freshness of the Brain Freeze bath bomb is perfect for the cooler Autumn months as it doesn’t leave your teeth chattering but still has a little kick.

As soon as the Brain Freeze bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of dark blue foam at its top, and a lighter, sky blue foam at its bottom. The soft and gently refreshing scent slowly fills your bathroom as the water takes hold of the bath bomb.

Being honest, I did expect more bath art from the Brain Freeze bath bomb, and I also wouldn’t have known it had popping candy in it at all, had I not read the ingredients.

I have however seen other customers upload photos of bath art from this bath bomb to Instagram, they were lucky to get purple and various shades of blue swirls out of their Brain Freeze bath bomb!

The Brain Freeze bath bomb took just over six minutes to fully dissolve, leaving you with plenty of time to lay back and relax in its warm, sea-salt enriched, skin-softening, dark blue water.

The cool fresh scent is more subtle nearer the end of your bath but can still be detected on your skin for a few hours after getting out of the bath.

My skin felt like silk once I was dry and out of the bath, there was no need to moisturise with a body lotion afterwards.

I thoroughly enjoyed using the Brain Freeze bath bomb, I’d have maybe liked a bit more bath art but other than that it was a very enjoyable Halloween bath bomb!

The Sleeping Giant Bath Bomb from Lush

There have been several giant-sized bath bombs released by Lush over the last few years but none of them have been quite like the Sleeping Giant Bath Bomb. What sets this giant bath bomb apart from all of the rest is the inclusion of the reusable glow in the dark wax stars and moon.

The Sleeping Giant shares its scent with the Sleepy/Twilight range, it’s a massively bestselling Lush-scent, you are most likely to recognise it from the Twilight bath bomb and Sleepy body lotion. There are however many, many more products with the same scent currently available to try as well.

Inside the hollow Sleeping Giant bath bomb are lots of dry flowers. There’s sprigs of dry lavender, dry rose petals, dried pink delphinium petals, dried blue mallow flowers and my favourite, chamomile flowers too.

Being honest as always I don’t ordinarily go for the bath bombs with loose flowers in just because of the clean up afterwards, sometimes they are however worth using as a special treat. I only used all of my Sleeping Giant bath bomb together, petals-and-all as I wanted to get some good photos and also wanted to see it in all of its glory so that I could give you guys a fair review on it. 😊

Pushing the dry flowers to one side, the bath bomb part of the, The Sleeping Giant contains lavender, brenzoin resinoid, tonka absolute and ylang ylang oils. Anything including the, The Sleeping Giant bath bomb from the Sleepy range is perfect to use just before bed. The lavender and tonka absolute are the perfect ingredient to help you wind down after a long, hard day.

After using the Sleeping Giant bath bomb its scent stays with you throughout the evening and even lasts on your skin for most of the next day. Not only do you benefit from its beautifully subtle scent hours and hours after using it, you also get soft, smooth and gloriously hydrated skin too.

The glow in the dark reusable wax stars and moon shapes are a very welcome extra from this bath bomb. We’ve had a glow in the dark soap (the Ghost in the Dark soap) before now but nothing like this that is completely reusable! To activate the glow in the dark moon and stars simply have them sat in natural light so that they can charge, before using them.

The photo below is of one of them broken away from the bath bomb, I sadly couldn’t get a photo of them that showed just how bright they do glow. Like many other Lush products the, The Sleeping Giant bath bomb is one of those products you have to experience for yourself to really get a taste of how it is to use. Photos do not do it justice at all.

Overall I did really enjoy using the, The Sleeping Giant bath bomb. As it is a giant bath bomb it is a little expensive but I am glad I tried it once as a treat. Would I purchase it again? No but only because I can now add the glow in the dark moon and stars to my bath with any Lush product I want now. I love that they are reusable!

The only issue I really had with the, The Sleeping Giant bath bomb is the clear up afterwards. Those dry petals get everywhere! Luckily I have a gadget that goes over the plug so none get stuck, blocking my bathroom pipes up. Scooping them up is easy enough at the end but not something I’d want to be doing after every bath.

I am always first to roll my eyes when people moan that bath bombs are messy so when I say the clear up was a little frustrating it really was. I am however glad I tried this bath bomb as a treat to myself. If I did have the opportunity to use it again I’d probably either take all of the dried petals out or only allow a few into the water.
