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.
