On Tuesday I was in Solihull and couldn't resist going into Lush, especially since I knew their Halloween products were available! 🎃 I spoke to a lovely shop assistant, Yas, who spent at least 20-30 minutes going through all the Halloween and Christmas products with me, giving me some demonstrations along the way too!
I'm only going to give a brief first impression of each item, as there are so many fantastic products, and do a proper review of the two items I bought once I get the chance to use them!
🐱 Bewitched Bubble Bar 🐱

This is my favourite design of the Halloween items this year! This isn't just pleasing on the eye, the blackberry scent is a treat for the nose too! Just when you couldn't think this could get any more Halloween-y you put it in the water and it gives you the mystical combination of grey water with shimmers of sliver throughout it!
🌹 Black Rose Lip Tint 🌹

When I first saw this lip tint I was a little apprehensive...black lips really don't do me any favours! Then Yas did a swatch on her hand and I loved the dark pink colour that was before me. I absolutely love this, it's so pigmented and the results from so little makes this definitely worth the money as it will last for a long time - my only recommendation would be not to apply with your hands! It also comes in a stick form but I am in love with Lush's naked initiative!
It also comes in a lip scrub which I'd have loved to have tried out but I'd just had a go with the bubblegum lip scrub (amazing!) so didn't give it a go. The smell was the same but with a slightly sweeter air to it, which is to be expected with the addition of caster sugar. I'd expect the same pigment but couldn't give a 100% confirmation of that. One to try next time!

👻 Ectoplasm Jelly Bomb 👻

So this is one of the products I bought on Tuesday and I'm honestly so excited to use it! I love the citrus smell - orange & grapefruit is certainly a win for me! The second thing I love is the size of the jelly bomb! I got a demonstration of this in the shop and I love the green colour (totally unexpected!) that this produces and that jelly layer on the top is something I really like about it! Excited to try it out but a little nervous as I know some people have had issues with it dissolving/the jelly layer not working properly - stay tuned for a full review!
💜 Goth Fairy Shimmer Bar 💜
Picture taken by me
I've never tried a shimmer bar before but this is too cute to pass up - and the blackcurrent smell is to die for! It's so silky smooth to the touch as I love the design. A like sweep across your skin leave a beautiful shimmer, totally worth the money and definitely something that will last a while! The only thing I'm worried about is it melting in my hand as it's so delicate - stay tuned for a full review!
🍁 Hedgewitch Soap 🍁

I saw this soap and was expecting a woody smell but was pleasantly surprised at the smell of berries that hit me. I think it looks well suited to Halloween with it autumnal colours and absolutely love the smell - I wasn't too sure at first but was won over after smelling it a couple of times.

I'm definitely on the fence with this one...the smell of vanilla and black pepper was both strange and amazing to me. I was also excited to hear the similarities to Fizzbanger (I miss you!) with the multicoloured and popping candy centre! I think to be 100% on the scent of this one I'd have to try it out.
It also comes in a shower cream and the smell is just the same, I think it's a bit stronger in the shower cream than the bath bomb. It felt very smooth and silky against the skin and I think you wouldn't need to use a lot of it to get that fragrant lather so definitely worth the money!

✨ Magic Wand Soap ✨

The first thing I want to say about this product is that the online picture doesn't do it justice! The colours in the centre of this soap are mesmerising - a beautiful swirl of oranges and yellows that works so well with the dark outer coating. It's another citrus scent and which I love and the design is wonderful, something I think could last all year round and doesn't need to be saved for Halloween!
👾 Monster's Ball Bath Bomb 👾

I love the design of this little guy, it's so cute and I really think it appeals to the inner-child (and probably actual children!) I loved the citrus smell and nearly ended up taking him home but I had to draw the line on my spending - Christmas is too close to spend the savings in Lush unfortunately! I love the combination of pink and blue that should result in some gorgeous purple water.
💕 Pink Pumpkin Bubble Bar 💕

This screamed more Christmas at me than Halloween and if it wasn't paired with it's sparkly twin (see below) and the name, I probably wouldn't have clocked that it was a pumpkin straight away. I think this has a more floral scent which isn't really to my taste but the colour is definitely me!
🎃 Pumpkin Bath Bomb 🎃

First thing that strikes me about this bath bomb - it is PERFECT for Halloween! Second thing - it reminds me so much of Jack Skellington! I wasn't a massive fan of the scent as it was very much a cinnamon scent, with a slight undertone of vanilla.

I don't think this was available in the shop on Tuesday, but when I asked about it after being told about the Bewitched set that it's included in I was told it's very similar to Bewitched in terms of the affect on the water - grey water with silver shimmer throughout. Like Ectoplasm, it will produce a jelly layer on top of the bath. I think I'd like to try it but am slightly apprehensive as I've seen a few reviews stating that it's stained the skin and the bath!
🎃 Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar 🎃

Can you think of anything better to sum up Lush's Halloween range than a gold pumpkin? No? Me neither! With it's citrus scent and gold glitter sparkly pumpkin stole my heart and it's definitely on the list for my next visit! The only thing I'm not looking forward to is cleaning the bath!
That's all for this post, I know there are a lot of products that I've spoken about and that wouldn't have been possible without the help of the lovely Yas (thank you again if you see this!) Keep your eyes peeled for the full reviews of Ectoplasm and Goth Fairy in the not too distant future!
Thanks for reading and Happy Halloween! x
