I tried Lush’s new Halloween bath melt – it actually has two purposes & homeowners will love it
LUSH is famous for its luxurious skincare and haircare products as well as its incredible bath bombs.
When it comes to making baths and showers an indulgent experience, the high street beauty definitely comes out on top.
But to really put it to the test, I tried out the beloved chain’s new Halloween bath melt.
The new Roasting Chestnuts Melt is a limited edition, spicy yet sweet seasonal treat that has a mouth-watering scent.
Its ingredients include pumpkin seed oil, almond oil, jojoba oil and cocoa butter which all blend to create a smokey, sweet smell.
The melt comes in a large bar with eight squares – four of which are a golden colour and the rest are velvety red.
What I loved about it though is that the whole bar had a glittery, golden shimmer to it that glows on the skin.
Once I popped a few squares into a hot bath I was instantly relaxed, with the sweet cassia and almond oils being so warm and comforting.
The smoky vetivert and woody cedarwood added the perfect touch as it wrapped me in their warmth.
And the organic butters and pumpkin seed oil leave the skin feeling soft and moisturised as it melts in the water.
But it doesn’t just work as a bath melt – this luxurious product actually has two purposes.
And it’s secondary use is set to send homeowners into a frenzy.
One of the many incredible things about Lush is the fact that all of the chain’s products are made fresh by hand and only use natural, vegetarian ingredients.
Because of this, the melt can also be used as a wax melt to add incredible fragrance to your home.
All you need to do to make your home smell of this sweet and smokey scent is add one or two squares to your burner.
Each square has an approximate burn time of around six hours, but the smell lasts much longer even when the candle is out or the burner is off.
I tried it on my pumpkin wax burner to see how well it worked in the home and it is a must-have for those who love a festive scent.
The melts last for days in the burner and within minutes the whole room is full of its mouth-watering fragrance.
Just light the burner for a few hours in the evening and put it out when you go to bed and the smell lingers in the room right through until the following morning.
It’s the ideal seasonal scent for both autumn and winter, so it’s perfect for lovers of both Halloween and Christmas.
The smokey chestnut tones are reminiscent of being warm around a bonfire roasting nuts as leaves fall in October and November.
'SECRET MESSAGES'
A WOMAN has revealed she was left stunned when she discovered a 'secret message' on her Lush hair conditioner.
Brooke splashed out on the Super Milk spray from the much-loved store after hearing about its lasting smell on social media.
But she then made another discovery, after learning that the stickers on Lush products – which say which employee made them – have messages underneath.
Admitting in a TikTok video that she must have been “living under a rock”, Brooke said she “never knew that”, so wanted to see if it was true.
Peeling back the sticker on the Super Milk spray, she saw it said “Got plant-based milk?”
Brooke then went to find another Lush product to see what was under the sticker on that one.
She found a shower gel from the Shrek range, and underneath the sticker it said “there’s an arrow in your butt”.
According to Lush themselves, the secret messages are for the person who places the stickers on the pot or bottle – so they know “exactly where to pop it”.
But it also brings back memories of being cosy with the family in front of a fireplace sipping on a hot drink at Christmas.
And I’m not the only one who loved Lush’s latest melt – shoppers have flocked to social media to praise the team for their newest creation.
One person said: “I can’t get over the smell. It’s my new obsession”.
Another added: “I’m really enjoying this now the weather is getting cooler. I want to get another one to see me through to Christmas.”
Someone else wrote: “This little beauty is smokey, cosy and comforting. It’s everything I want from a melt.”
And a fourth commented: “It’s an absolutely beautiful product and I’d love to have this scent in more products!”
While a fifth chimed in: “This was a lovely blend of fruity, Spicy and citrus scents that gets me in the mood for Christmas! (I know Halloween hasn’t passed yet but I was a bit excited)”.
