If you ask me, spooky season starts *now* and, thankfully, Lush agrees. The beauty brand known for its irresistible bath bombs just launched a whole collection filled with new seasonal products, like this gold-specked Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice bubble bar, and returning faves like the Lord of Misrule shower gel. Not to mention, you can snag themed boxes like this fun Countdown to Halloween set if you want to treat yourself to more than one at-home spa day ahead of the holiday (and, trust me, you do). But as an avid Lush shopper myself, let me tell you, these limited-edition products practically always sell out fast, so I'd suggest picking up your own favorites sooner rather than later. Here are six to start with.

If you want to try a little bit of everything this season, run right over to this fun Countdown to Halloween set—essentially, an Advent calendar for spooky season. It's designed with seven doors that each contain a product, which you can open all at once or as a week-long countdown to Halloween. If you want to know what's in it before you buy, though, you'll find a Ghostie bath bomb, Skeleton bath bomb, The Alchemist bath bomb, Bewitched bubble bar, Pumpkin Spice Latte shower gel, Palm Reader solid hand cream and Demon in the Dark soap. I'd say it's well worth it.

Lush keeps bringing this Lord of Misrule scent back year after year during spooky season—and with good reason. This sweet and spicy scent is a favorite among Lush shoppers, including this one who shared, "Me and my teenagers (boy and girl) love this so much. I bought it last year when it came out and I just couldn't get over this wonderful smell. I waited all year for it to come out again!...I can’t even begin to explain how great this smells." The shower gel (which also comes in a body spray that other reviewers mention earns them tons of compliments) has a scent that's a blend of black peppercorn, vanilla absolute and warm patchouli. Yeah, go ahead and stock up while you can.

Lush's lip scrubs are always a go-to product for me, so I won't be skipping this blood orange one while it's available. Besides its delicious flavor (which comes from organic blood orange oil), the scrub is made with castor sugar to scrub away dry skin and jojoba oil to rehydrate it. But don't just take it from me—take a look at what this reviewer shared: "It smells SO fresh; like someone just hand-squeezed a glass of orange juice right in front of me. My lips haven't felt this healthy in a while; I think it's definitely helping keep away any dry skin build-up."

Is there anything better than curling up with a good read, a cozy blanket and the perfect pumpkin spice candle come fall? If you ask me, the answer is definitely not, which is exactly while I'll be snagging this candle before it inevitably sells out. It features notes of clove, ginger, carob and, of course, pumpkin spice, and has a burn time of 35 hours, so you'll get plenty of use out of it.

If you're as big of a fan of Lush's bath bombs as we are around here, you aren't gonna want to miss this adorable haunted house set. It comes complete with a Bewitched bubble bar, Ghostie bath bomb, Punkin Pumpkin bath bomb, Witch bath bomb and a coloring page (which I'd highly recommend doing after a soak while listening to your fave witchy audiobook for a perfectly relaxing night).

Lush's crumbly bubble bars can either be used all at once to add some suds to your tub, or broken up to make the scented bubbles last, so you've got options with this one. It features a festive blend of pumpkin, cinnamon leaf, clove oil, patchouli and more, and those gold flecks on top are sure to make your bath feel all the more luxurious. You might just want to take this reviewer's word for it and start stocking up: "I LOVE how balanced the scent is on this. It’s so cinnamon-y, but the citrus oil punches through to brighten it up, and the creamy root vegetable notes anchor everything in a base that makes it a delight to sink into the stunning gold and orange waters. This is going to be a balm for cold winter days to come, I’m definitely going to stock up on this one."
