It's finally got to that time of year when Lush have released their Halloween products and FINALLY have released a spherical jack-o-lantern bath bomb.
Like the Sparkly Pumpkin bubble bar, I assumed that this would have a different scent, in this instance, perhaps a pumpkin spice kind of scent due to the popularity of Pumpkin Spice drinks. However, it smells to me like a sugary spicy mix of perfection. However, when I first smelt this beauty, I got a bit sherbet sweet scent, yet when I smelt it again, I could detect spicy and creamy notes within the mix. Overall, you could say that this bath bomb has a slight 'foody' scent to it.
One of the main ingredients within the mix of Pumpkin is pimento berries which are known as the 'clove pepper' and is said to smell like cinnamon, clove and nutmeg; like mixed spice you may say. It is an antioxidant and antiseptic which makes this bath bomb cleansing. Pimento berries gives the bomb a spicy kick along with the vanilla absolute. Vanilla takes away the edge of the spiciness whilst making sure the skin stays moisturised whilst adding a creamy side to the ballistic.
The bath bomb is a fast fizzer with orange and yellow colours and leaves the water with a beautiful orange coloured water. Although my bath bomb was fresh, it did sink and I have heard that other people's have done the same thing. So if you're looking for a bath bomb that puts a show on in the bath, this may not be the one for you. However, do not let this put you off as this ballistic is wonderful and leaves a very strong scent in the bath which stays with you for a few hours after the bath.
The water itself wasn't exactly softening and didn't leave the skin too soft and I did need to use a moisturiser afterwards. Saying this, my skin did feel very cleansed after this bath.
If you're looking for a bath bomb that is highly scented and stays with you, this is the one. However, if you're looking for something that shows itself off in the water from the Halloween range, I would suggest a bath bomb such as Lord of Misrule which puts a great show on. This product is a great one for Autumn and would be a great bath for perhaps getting ready on Halloween night for perhaps a party or even to just get in the spirit.
