NEW Screamo Bath Bomb from Lush

The Screamo Bath Bomb was a brand-new, limited-edition product that was first released as a part of Lush’s 2022 Halloween line. This year (2023) Lush decided to bring it back BUT with a slightly different appearance.

Any horror-movie-buff could see that last years version of the bath bomb was clearly inspired by the film, Scream. A very little change has made the bath bomb now look more like the scared face in The Scream painting by Edvard Munch.

The Screamo bath bomb now has a bright-white screaming face with 3 dark blue egg-shaped holes for its eyes and mouth.

Before the Screamo bath bombs first release, Lush had actually released a reusable bubble bar equivalent of it back in 2021. It however didn’t sell well due to it falling apart immediately after first use, sometimes even before you’d had a chance to use it like mine did, the reason why I never got round to reviewing it.

With the Screamo bath bomb making a return for yet another Halloween, it seems Lush were wise to reimagine the Screamo reusable bubble bar into a bath bomb.

The Screamo bath bomb contains a long list of ingredients, some of them include; benzoin resinoid, ylang ylang and almond essential oils. It has a rich and incredibly sharp, cherry-almond scent. It’s mouth-wateringly yummy!

At 100g the 2023 version of the Screamo bath bomb is a whole 20g lighter than its predecessor. It fits snuggly in my hand it’s a little bit bigger than the Butterbear bath bomb and a little bit smaller than the Ghostie bath bomb.

With Screamo’s contrasting white and royal-blue colours I knew that the bath art it would create would be dramatic to say the least.

As soon as the Screamo bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of royal-blue foam. Blue bubbles slowly fizzle out of it as the bath bomb floats upon the surface of the water.

The photos I have included in this review do the Screamo bath bomb no justice at all. While the bath art it creates is mainly blue with small streaks of white it was still incredibly mesmerising to watch in action.

Underneath the blue foam, the water turns a deeply inviting and very sparkly, royal-blue.

As the bath bomb slowly dissolves away the bath water becomes softer and softer, almost silky like. Screamo takes a good 10 to 12 minutes to fully dissolve.

As I said earlier, the Screamo bath bomb creates the most incredibly soft bathwater and I found that it left my skin feeling hydrated and silky-smooth too.

The bath bombs delicious cherry-almond scent is what really sells this bath bomb to me though. Its moreish scent can still be smelt on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day once you’re out of the bath too.

Overall, I really do enjoy using the Screamo bath bomb BUT I’d have much preferred for the Big Foot bath bomb from the 2022 Halloween line to have made a return instead.

Pumpkin Crumble Bubble Bar from Lush

The Pumpkin Crumble Bubble Bar is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Halloween line. Designed like a macaroon, this bubble bar has 2 pieces of bubble bar sandwiched together with a generous dollop of organic cocoa butter.

It has been designed to look like your typical Halloween carved pumpkin, it has triangle shaped eyes and plenty of sharp teeth showing as it sinisterly smiles away.

If you’ve been a Lush customer for a while, you are more than likely to recognise the Pumpkin Crumble’s scent as it is the same as the Sparkly Pumpkin shower slime and Sparkly Pumpkin bubble bar. 

The Pumpkin Crumble bubble bars are approximately a whopping 170g each making them just a little bit smaller than the bestselling larger Lush bubbles bars the, The Comforter and Brightside.

The Pumpkin Crumble bubble bar contains pumpkin puree, shea and organic cocoa butter and the following essential oils, grapefruit, juniper berry and lime. Lush’s website describes it as the ‘perfect pumpkin-spiced Halloween bubble bath.’

The spicy juniper berry in Pumpkin Crumble warms you up while the grapefruit in it uplifts and brightens your mood. Its scent is incredibly moreish. I do not drink caffeine, but I have been told that the Pumpkin Crumble bubble bar smells just like the pumpkin spice used in the autumn classic hot drink, the pumpkin spiced latte.

To use the Pumpkin Crumble bubble bar, I put broken up pieces of it into a sieve and let the running bath-water trickle over it. I find this the most effective way to use Lush’s single use bubble bars.

This method is also the best way to ensure none of the bubble bar gets accidentally wasted and through trial and error, I have found that this method makes the most bubbles.

The one thing that I love about Lush’s bubble bars over their bath bombs is that they can easily be spread out over several baths. With Pumpkin Crumble being like a macaroon it’s really easy to split in half.

You can get 2 heavily bubbled bubble baths out of each side of the Pumpkin Crumble bubble bar making it excellent value for money. Even splitting it 4 ways doesn’t compromise on its scent-quality which is often the case if you try to spread a bubble bar out a little too much.

It doesn’t take long for the blanket of fluffy white bubble to form.

Underneath the blanket of fluffy, white bubbles the water turns a bright-pumpkin- orange, if you’re looking for autumnal bath water, Pumpkin Crumble is the bath product you need to try!

A Pumpkin Crumble bubble-bar-bath leaves your skin feeling silky and perfectly hydrated. Its scent lasts on your skin for the best part of the rest of the day too.

I always write this in all of my product reviews of products that share a scent with the Pumpkin Crumble bubble bar, and I won’t stop now, Lush, we need a body lotion in this scent!

Overall, I am glad Lush released this. It’s nice to try something a little different from the Sparkly Pumpkin bubble bar and Pumpkin Crumble is so much more hydrating on your skin. I adore it.

I hope Lush bring out more Sparkly Pumpkin/Pumpkin Crumble scented products soon, as I said earlier, we need a body lotion equivalent, and a shower gel would sell brilliantly too!

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.
