Advent Calendars are becoming increasingly elaborate each year, turning the countdown to Christmas into a grand event. However, a new event has emerged that demands attention – Halloween. The spooky holiday, celebrated on October 31, has witnessed a surge in popularity, with brands embracing its essence through various themed products like pumpkin carvings, bat string lights, and Halloween-inspired door mats. Among these offerings is the Lush Countdown to Halloween.

Priced at £55, this Halloween countdown comprises seven eerie treats designed to enhance your bathing experience. From bath bombs to soap and hand cream, this set promises to add a special touch of excitement to the month of October, catering to individuals of all ages.

Let’s explore what lies behind doors one to seven, shall we?

According to Lush’s description on their website, the bath bomb in the set promises to transform your bath into a mesmerizing concoction of marigold-infused waters, enriched with sea salt and invigorating turmeric powder. The hand cream boasts nourishing shea butter, soothing rosewater, and beautifying koji paste, leaving a luxurious floral and woody scent. In addition, the bubble bar offers a bewitching blend of blackberry-scented bubbles with grounding olibanum and uplifting bergamot oils.

Furthermore, the glow-in-the-dark soap features refreshing peppermint, apple juice, and clove bud oil scents. The skeleton key bath bomb contains oat milk powder for a creamy, skin-soothing bath, accompanied by the relaxing aroma of ylang ylang. The shower gel presents a decadent mix of coffee, vanilla, clove, and cinnamon scents. Lastly, the Ghostie bath bomb releases lemongrass, lemon, and lime oils, along with popping candy, creating a fresh citrus experience in the bath.

Individually, these items would cost £45.50, hence the countdown set offers a bundled deal at £55. The added value of the packaging and the excitement of unwrapping each item justify the slight price difference. While it’s possible to create a DIY Halloween countdown to save money, the thrill of unboxing pre-selected treats is incomparable.
