What Lush have to say about this product: 'If you’re wondering just what sort of creature a Mumkin is then it’s no use asking us, because we don’t know either! All you need to know is that she’s cute, very friendly and loves to be crumbled under the tap to bring you mountains of fruity bubbles.'
The Mumkin is a limited edition bubble bar that was released as part of their Mother's Day range 2013. With chocolate drops for eyes and a candy stalk stick as a head piece, this bubble bar might well be considered one of their most endearing bubble bars to date.
Lush have once again constructed a product that contains a variety of different ingredients, each included because of the properties they boast. Sicilian lemon oil smells clean and refreshing and helps to lift your mood; Bergamot Oil adds a fruity floral scent that helps to calm and reduce stress; Violet Leaf encourages your body to relax and helps to soothe those achey muscles.
The host of ingredients all come together to offer a well-rounded bubble bar that smells of sweet raspberries with a mild but gorgeous floral undertone. These scents permeate your bath tub when crumbled under running water and linger on your skin for a while after use.
These bars were priced up under the £3 mark, making this one of the cheapest bubble bars on offer. What makes it even more better value is that you could probably use this for up to three separate baths, making it incredible value for money. Me being the greedy bugger that I am, I tend to throw the whole bar in and indulge in a mountain of bubbles.
What I loved about this product was the fact that it produced so many bubbles and turned the bath water into a haven of oily water to soften, hydrate and moisturise skin. And If you're not keen on super-strong smelling cosmetics, this bar has a much gentler smell.
However, I was a little disappointed with the scent. I was hoping for a sweet, sugary raspberry smell, reminiscent of raspberry jam or raspberry ripple ice-cream. What I found however, is that the raspberry scent from very subtle and it was the violet and bergamot that shone through. That's not to say that Mumkin smells bad - but I was expecting a much sweeter 'Comforter-Snow Fairyesque' type scent.
Another problem I found with this bubble bar is that the smell fades quite quickly, so it's not really a product you can store for a long period of time.
Overall I quite liked this bar as it was quirky and cute and was very gentle on the skin. The bath water feels lovely and soft and creamy and there are ample bubbles to enjoy. If Lush bring them out during their Mother's Day range next year I will most likely buy another one to sample. However, it's not a product I am in any rush to buy again.
