Everything you need to try from the new Lush Halloween collection

The start of October can mean only one thing: the hotly anticipated Lush collection has returned for another year of spooky products to transform your autumn self-care routine. Whether you’re looking to treat yourself or surprise a loved one, you won’t be short of gorgeous goodies as the limited-edition collection is back and bigger than ever. From luxurious bubble bars to glow-in-the-dark soaps, we’ve rounded up the top picks to enjoy this Halloween. 

For the bath

If there’s nothing you love more than a relaxing bath in the evening, then there’s a whole host of bath bombs and bubble bars to pick from this year. The Witchy Woo bubble bar is just one standout product, filled with uplifting and mood-boosting scents of lime, neroli oil and frankincense fragrance. While Bubble Lugosi adds drama to your bathtime routine, so turn off the lights, lie back and enjoy its blackberry-scented bubbles and eerie neon glow.

It wouldn’t be Halloween without pumpkin-inspired treats, and the Pumpkin Crumble bubble bar is filled with Fair Trade shea butter to soften and moisturise the skin, while an uplifting blend of essential citrus oils fills the room with the comforting, cosy scent of pumpkin. 

When it comes to bath bombs, Lush is never short of options. I Want My Mummy transforms your bath into a mesmerising visual treat, fizzing away to release swirls of vibrant pinks and creamy whites. As it foams, expect citrus scents like wild orange and lime oils to uplift your spirits. 

Taking inspiration from Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival celebrated when the veil separating the physical and spiritual world was at its thinnest and fairies could cross between the two, is the Enchanted Fairy House bath bomb. Pop off the top of the house and pour the pink fairy dust into the bath for a zesty grapefruit and floral petitgrain aroma. 

For the shower

Available in two sizes, the Lush shower jellies aptly named Monster Octopus and Octopus Prime, add a touch of fun to your daily shower routine. Shaped like an adorable octopus and infused with passion fruit, vanilla and blackcurrant, its wobbly tentacles will envelop you in its sweet, refreshing scent to cleanse your skin and brighten your mood.

On the lookout for a gorgeous shower gel to add to your collection? Glow In The Dark shares the same irresistible zesty fragrance as their bestselling soap, Ghost In The Dark. Refreshing lemongrass oil and fresh lemon juice seamlessly blend together to cleanse and refresh the skin, setting you up perfectly for the day ahead. 

For your body

A fan favourite for years, Lord of Misrule has captivated Lush lovers with its one-of-a-kind sweet and spicy fragrance. Opening with earthy patchouli before sweet vanilla and a stimulating kick of black pepper take over, mellowing the scent and giving it its trademark spice. With a body spray, shower gel, massage bar and scented four-wick candle to choose from, there’s no shortage of ways to get your fix.

For skin that’s in need of some TLC as the seasons change, the Mr Pumpkin Face Mask does just the trick. Beautifully soft skin is guaranteed as the mask is packed full of vitamin-rich pumpkin purée and pumpkin seed butter to nourish and moisturise the skin, while the added touch of ground pumpkin seeds help to gently exfoliate. Meanwhile, Lush’s famous lip scrub comes in two delicious scents this Halloween, blood orange and blackcurrant – perfect for buffing away flaky skin and keeping your lips silky smooth.
