Lush - Mumkin Review

I adored the little pumpkin that was brought out over Halloween in Lush so I was super excited to see a pink version called Mumkin, it was part of the spring mothers day range and cost £2.95 which is a great little bargain for Lush!



The scent is raspberries which is a nice fruity uplifting scent which reminds me of spring, it turned my bath water a nice pink and had quite a few bubbles. There was also some adorable chocolate drop eyes and a candy leaf, which is a nice extra.



This bubble bar is just adorable and if you gave it to your mother on mother's day she was very lucky, I'll be very happy if they bring back Pumpkin and Mumkin next year!


Happy Halloween!

My favorite holiday and season is Halloween and October, I always love being cold and snuggly just before it gets to cold to function and I adore the scents, fashion and food in October. This Halloween I had the day of work and was able to go all out! Well make cakes, carve a pumpkin and watch horror films.

Carving the Pumpkin
I was joined by my little brother to carve this year's rather large pumpkin, we did cats eye's and a traditional mouth and nose. My favorite smell ever is fresh pumpkin I love the scent but can never find any candles that have the same scent!



Spooky Cupcakes!
I love to bake and making cupcakes is easy and fun to do, I made chocolate ones as I had some cocoa I needed to use up and then I added some spooky faces using icing sugar and red coloring, I added to much colouring though so I ended up getting a really rich looking red which looked a lot like blood!



Halloween films
Of course I watched the original Halloween, as well as the Rob Zombie remake's. I then watched IT, The Inn Keepers and Trick or Treat. I'm a massive horror fan and on Halloween I tend to watch as many horror films as possible.  There's nothing better then snuggling down and watching some spooky films!


Watch out for tomorrow's post all about going out and dressing up!

Lush Halloween Goodies!

I could not resist the Halloween Bath products in Lush and brought Pumpkin, Soot Ball and Lord Of Misrule which were all around the £3 mark. The three products were available in store and online but are currently out of stock =[ boo! But here is my review!

Pumpkin
This little Bubble Bar was adorable and I almost felt bad crumbling him under the hot water but he turned out to be a fantastic buy. The scent was my favorite ever scent orange but it wasn't to citrusy and it also had added ylang ylang oil which I think made it a nice mild orange scent. The bath turned a lovely orange colour and there were loads of bubbles! I adored this bubble bar and can't wait till next Halloween to buy a few more.


Soot Ball
This product was a little odd, I knew it was covered in black but underneath it looked like orange was coming through but once placed into my bath I had a tub full of black water and a little shimmer of orange. It also had quite a nice scent to it and left me covered in glitter after. So atm I'm abit hit and miss with this bath bomb!



Lord of Misrule 
My favorite of the three I picked out! It looked a little odd like it wasn't meant to be apart of the Halloween range as it had an impressive aqua colour to it but once placed into my bath is started to fizz out a dark deep red, it fizzed for around 3 minutes before I started to hear the wonderful sounds of popping candy! The scent is an odd one at first it just smelt of soap and the usual Lush scent but then I could smell a citrus scent to it. I love this bath bomb and wish it wasn't just a Halloween special!




So that's its for Halloween bath treats but watch out for tomorrows spooktastic going out post!
