I was initially worried that this bubble bar would have the scent that it's name suggests but thankfully this is not the case and instead it is a sophisticated citrus smell that is a pleasant change from the wide range of overly sweet and Cinammon relates that are predominate in lush's winter selection this year. 

What stops this from becoming the generic citrus scent of just lemons and limes, the Juniperberry oil adds a refreshing and a slightly smokey, woody aroma dimension to Sparkly Pumpkin creating an extremely pleasing aroma that is perfect for the dark autumnal nights.

This is a product that couldn't be overlooked whilst on show, as it is a bright orange mini pumpkin covered with a generous helping of gold glimmer and a decorative piece of a cinnamon stick, which is a welcome change to the array of pink and white bath products that are on offer.

This is a bubble bar that could certainly be broken into 2 so that you could make the bubble bars last longer and still get a decent amount of bubbles in the bath and turn the water an attractive shade of orange that mimics the autumnal leaves. 

There are quite a few ways that you can use bubble bars to get the maximum amount of bubbles. The way I use is to place the bar in a sieve and hold it under the tap which I find produces the most bubbles for my bath, another way is to crumble it under the taps but I find that you often loose chunks through this process and another way is to crumble the bar onto the surface of the bath and then let the water run over the crumbs, I've not tried this method but it does seem to work quite well. 

For any glitter phones, the glitter is mainly there for decoration and barely makes an impact in the water and doesn't leave any mess at the bottom of the tub. I found that it didn't produce the softest water or the most moisturising but the fragrance lasts for a very long time which I was pleased about and I imagine if you put a butterball/ butter bear in, that would be a good companion to provide moisturising and add another layer to the fragrance.
