LUSH Halloween 2012 collection review

-->

          LUSH has a spook-tacular lineup of items for Halloween 2012 that I’m so excited to share with you today. These fizzy, bubbly, sparkly, and jiggly bath products are bound to bring out the trick-or-treat spirit in both young and old spirits alike. The in-store Halloween collection consists of LUSH Twilight Shower Gel, LUSH Calacas Shower Jelly, LUSH Enchanter Bath Bomb, and LUSH Pumpkin soap.


          LUSH Twilight Shower Gel is lavender scented shimmery purple shower gel. The sparkly purple seems to reflect the dimmed color of dusk when twinkling stars start to make themselves known. LUSH Shower gels are very sudsy with natural scents that are amplified upon use in hot water. LUSH Twilight has a full-on herbal lavender scent that is supplemented with a slight sweetness from Tonka. It's is a relaxing scent that is perfect for bedtime showers. LUSH Twilight is a nice addition to the lush lineup, which already has a sweet vanilla and heady jasmine. I'm happy to add it to the five other LUSH shower gels that already populate my shower! Unlike last Halloween’s single size Ghost shower gel, Twilight will be available in three different sizes. Twilight is a part of both the Halloween and Holiday 2012 collections and is the only item here that will be available throughout the winter season.


          While Twilight may be the perfect sleepytime scent, LUSH Calacas Shower Jelly is the perfect pick-me-upper for cold winter mornings. LUSH Calacas is a green jiggly jelly soap molded into the shape of a Day of the Dead sugar skull ('calacas' means skeleton in Spanish).  This shower jelly has a zingy lime gummy candy scent. Though I’m a serious LUSHie, this is the first time I’ve tried a shower jelly. They're essentially bars of soap in jello form. Like most LUSH shower products, they’re quite sudsy. You can also freeze these jellies for a really cool hot-cold experience in the shower.

           If you love the lime scent of LUSH Calacas, LUSH Enchanter Bath Bomb might be up your alley as well. It’s a festive bath bomb with a citrusy lime scent that mirrors that of LUSH Calacas. When in water, the bath bomb fizzes into a citrus orange, followed by bursts of bright pink. The Lime and Neroli oil are toning and brightening for skin, not to mention uplifting for tired spirits.

          LUSH Pumpkin Soap is a molded Jack-O-Lantern shaped soap from Halloweens past. This creamy limited edition soap smells like an aromatic slice of pumpkin pie. The cinnamon, clove, cardamom, spearmint, and fresh pumpkin scent epitomizes the season and adds fragrance to your bathroom as well as your hands. The size is slightly larger than my palm and roughly equivalent to your typical bar soap. LUSH Pumpkin Soap looks fun, smells delicious, and is a practical to boot.


           LUSH Twilight Shower Gel ($9.95 - $27.95 for 3.3oz - 16.1 oz.), LUSH Pumpkin Soap ($6.95), LUSH Calacas Shower Jelly ($4.95 for 3.5oz.), and LUSH Enchanter Bath Bomb ($4.95) have just become available in LUSH stores. The bright colors and delicious scents are fun pick-me-ups for the fall season. Be sure to scoop up these spooks soon; they’ll be gone in a ‘bat’ an eyelash! Thanks for reading! Have you seen LUSH Halloween in stores? Which product sounds the most up your alley? How are you getting ready for Halloween?

Love, Dovey.

    1. Hi Jessica, thanks! I'm glad you've started to explore LUSH too. The Halloween collection this year really tickles my fancy, even more than last year's (if I'm allowed to say that).

  2. That pumpkin soap looks and sounds delicious! so cute, I have to check out the soap. LUSH collections seem to improve (at least to my taste), I am not so sure about the shimmer in the body wash but as long as it won't leave shimmer on my bobdy, why not? / Claire

    1. Hi Claire, I thought this collection was well done too, with different choices and scents that could cater to many. I think the soap will be a favorite (probably why they brought it back from last year). It's easy for people to use at their sinks, plus makes a nice gift!

  6. You've managed to make me want all of them! I'll try the Enchanted bomb at the very least. It's been a while since I've had a bath bomb. :D

    1. Hi Liz, I've been taking more baths recently and love it. I liked how Enchanted was a bit different from their current permanent selection
