Jason’s Mummy Bath Bomb from Lush

The Jason’s Mummy Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Halloween line.

It’s a new product but not a completely new design. If you’ve been a Lush customer for quite some time you may recognise its shape as Lush have used the same bath-bomb-mould to make it as the mould used for the long-discontinued, Ginger Ninja and Black Ninja bath bombs.

Designed to look just like a stereotypical, scary mummy wrapped in bandages with only its bright red eyes visible, Jason’s Mummy fits right into the theme of Halloween.

Weighing in at approximately 130g the Jason’s Mummy bath bomb fits snuggly in my hand.

The Jason’s Mummy bath bomb contains tangerine oil, grapefruit oil and litsea cubeba oil.

It shares its scent with the past Halloween products, Ectoplasm shower cream and Ectoplasm jelly bomb.

The Ectoplasm scent is a much-loved Halloween Lush-scent-family, the Lush website describes the Jason’s Mummy bath bomb as having ‘citrusy scents of tangerine and grapefruit oils.’ It’s a very gentle and zesty fragrance that isn’t unlike a soft yet bitter marmalade.

One of the more interesting facts about the Jason’s Mummy bath bomb is that like the Bubble Lugosi bubble bar, some of it glows in the dark! If you hold the bath bomb under a light and then put the bath bomb into the dark, you can see that the back of its eyes glow a light yellowy-green.


Although the glow-in-the-dark aspect of this bath bomb doesn’t show once in the bath, it did add a level of novelty to the product.

As soon as the Jason’s Mummy bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of milky-white but clear bubbles.

The Jason’s Mummy bath bomb is not fantastic bath-art-wise as it doesn’t have any colour, it’s actually a very gentle bath bomb which may be a good choice for someone who isn’t into all-things bright, bold and loud.

Most people who would bother to read this review will be more into the more colourful products but sometimes less, really is more!

The Jason’s Mummy bath bomb takes only 3 and a half minutes to fully dissolve. The water left behind is clear with a milky like tinge. Its scent, although subtle can still be smelt throughout your time in the bath right up until the last drop gurgles down your plug hole.

I found the water that the Jason’s Mummy bath bomb left behind to be silky smooth and incredibly refreshing. Its zingy scent can still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath which surprised me as the citrus-led Lush products often don’t have much staying power.

My skin still felt soft and hydrated for the whole of the next day after using it too.

I did really enjoy the Jason’s Mummy bath bomb, no, it wasn’t big on bath art but as I said earlier, sometimes less really is more. It’s a very simple bath bomb and I think that’s why I liked it so much.

Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe Lip Scrub from Lush

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. It really does make me question why other cosmetic companies ever actively chose to use (the now illegal) 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 (which ever one you choose to go with) Luckily for us, Lush have released not 1, but 2 new lip scrubs for Halloween 2023!

Today I am going to be reviewing the Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe Lip Scrub. 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 great. They are the perfect product to exfoliate dry or chapped lips and are also very good at softening and hydrating them at the same time. Exfoliating your lips has so many benefits and with all thanks to Lush, it has never been easier to do, anytime, anywhere.

As well as caster sugar, the Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe lip scrub also contains organic jojoba oil, fair trade shea butter, organic cold pressed grapeseed oil and sweet wild orange oil. If you’ve been a Lush customer for a while, you may be hit by a wave of déjà vu when using the Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe lip scrub as before now, Lush released a purple version of it called the Sugar Plum Fairy lip scrub.

You aren’t wrong if you also recognise the lip scrubs scent from another popular Lush product as it’s the same scent as the, The Comforter bubble bar too! Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe tastes just as good as it smells; It’s obviously not meant to be eaten but if a little does end up in your mouth while you are scrubbing your lips with it you don’t need to worry.

The Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe lip scrub is bright blue. Ordinarily, I tend to favour the lighter or more natural to actual lip-colour lip scrubs over the brightly coloured ones because I find that the highly pigmented scrubs can sometimes (after use) leave your lips with a slight tinge of whatever colour the lip scrub is.

The biggest culprit of lip-scrub-colour-transfer in my opinion is Lush’s Galaxy lip scrub which happens to be very similar in colour to Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe. I am however pleased to report that during use, I haven’t had any colour transfer from Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe AT ALL.

The only negative thing about the Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe lip scrub is that it’s not as hydrating as I have found other Lush lip scrubs. This minor inconvenience is however soon solved with a quick dab of lip balm.

Overall, I really like the Wednesday’s Child is Full of Woe lip scrub, although… I’d have preferred it to have been made into a brand-new scent entirely. After the Sugar Plum Fairy lip scrub (as nice as Wednesday’s Child is) we didn’t really need another lip scrub with the same scent.

Screaming Banshee Bath Bomb from Lush

The Screaming Banshee Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Halloween line.

It is inspired by the banshee from Irish folklore; The banshee is said to be a fairy-like-woman or female spirit whose mouth is permanently open and screaming the most grief-stricken of screams, the scream is said to mark someone’s impending death.

If the thought of a banshee doesn’t make your blood run a little colder than normal, you’re a braver person than me. I don’t think there’s ever been a scarier Halloween product…Weighing in at only 85g the Screaming Banshee is one of the smaller and therefore cheaper bath bombs from the 2023 Halloween line.

The Screaming Banshee bath bomb contains plenty of popping candy as well as sea salt, apple powder, bergamot oil, grapefruit oil and almond essential oil.

It shares its scent with the Space Girl bath bomb, the most recently released products that also share the same scent as the Screaming Banshee bath bomb are Halloween 2020’s, Very Very Frightening shower gel as well as the Asteroid bath bomb and Asteroid City shower gel.

The ‘Space Girl’ scent family is a much-loved Lush fragrance that I’m always happy to see make an appearance in any product format.

The scent of the Screaming Banshee bath bomb is not an easy one to describe, it reminds me of a pot of raspberry yogurt, it’s sherbet-sweet and mouth-wateringly good. Lush have previously described the scent as a ‘nostalgic scent of blackcurrant’ although, as I said earlier, it reminds me of raspberries more than it does blackcurrants.

It is not an overpowering fragrance like some Lush scents often are. It would be a very good choice if you prefer the softer Lush scent-families.

As soon as the Screaming Banshee bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a burst of light and dark blue colour.

The Screaming Banshee bath bomb is not fantastic bath-art-wise BUT does turn the bath water an inviting shade of chamomile blue. It doesn’t take long for the popping candy to make an appearance either; Crackling and popping as the bath bomb fizzes away. After just under 10 minutes, the bath bomb fully dissolves.

I found the chamomile blue waters left behind by the Screaming Banshee bath bomb silky smooth and incredibly refreshing. It’s raspberry-like-scent can also still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath which surprised me as it is a very small bath bomb.

My skin still felt soft and hydrated for the whole of the next day after using it too.

I really enjoyed the Screaming Banshee bath bomb, I like that it is one of the more affordable bath bombs from this year’s Halloween collection and that it has such a great scent, I’d have maybe liked a bit more bath art out of it but other than that I think it’s a fantastic addition to the Halloween line.
