Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel Review

My lush addiction started after Christmas so I had heard lots and lots about this shower gel but couldn't try it because it was limited edition. Until up popped the mid winter limited edition release, oh the excitement waiting for this to arrive it actually felt like waiting for Christmas as a kid.

My very first order from lush included the godmother soap and I swear this shower gel and the godmother soap are identical in scent, it's ridiculously good it's sweet like cherries and candy floss, It is like a big sweet lolly shop in a bottle.

The bottle is clear and the same as the other Lush products but the label is white, pink and yellow, much different to the standard black label.

The pretty pink shower gel has blue lustre in it making it even more special not only does it smell so good it also looks so pretty. It lathers up quite a bit, it feels moisturising on my skin and doesn't dry it out. The scent lasts for only a couple of hours, I really wished it would last longer only because it smells so good. I now know why everyone raves about this shower gel and I too love it and will buy it every time it is released.

I love this limited edition Snow Fairy shower gel, can't wait for Christmas to roll around so I can get some more. I would have given this a perfect score if it weren't for the rather high price tag for a shower gel and the fact the scent doesn't linger for very long after your shower.

The bottle is OK - I have purchased the large bottle in the past and it ends up looking a bit worse for wear from being squeezed and doesn't hold it's shape but that's a minor gripe. It looks very pretty in the shower until the bottle gets all dented.

You don't need copious amounts of product as it does lather really well, one decent sized squirt is all it takes.

The glitter contained within doesn't cling to your skin, thank goodness. I probably wouldn't use it if it did as I feel glitter is for young people.

The scent is so hard to describe - I wouldn't call it Christmasy. It's very very sweet with an aroma of pear mixed in somewhere there.

It definitely makes showering pleasurable, but for the price I limit myself to one bottle a year.

Lush's environmentally friendly ingredients and packaging start this shower gel ahead of the rest. I also love the combination of handmade yet professional that is offered in all of Lush's products. The Snow Fairy shower gel is only offered during the Christmas period, sells out quickly and has a cult following among the Youtube and Blogger community. Everything about the Snow Fairy shower gel had to me sold in store - from the glitter to the sweet scent of icing on a cake. I thought that this was exactly what I wanted in a shower gel. Upon actually using it in my morning shower routine, I realised that waking up to the sickly sweet scent of bubblegum, vanilla and cotton candy isn't as appealing as it seemed in the store. During my second week of using the Snow Fairy shower gel, I felt like a kid who has overdosed on pink icing at a birthday party. Alas, I had the massive (for Lush sizes) 16.9 ounce bottle to get through.

If you do love the scent (and even if you think you do, I recommend the smaller size), the formula is nice. A little goes a long way, particularly if you use it with a loofah. The formula is a little jelly like, and clumps together a lot more than The Body Shop shower gel formula. The scent lingers on the skin, and chances are it will mix well with your vanilla based perfume. The glitter is a nice touch, although it isn't visible on the skin. And again, no store can beat the ethical qualities of Lush. Snow Fairy either entered my bathroom as my preferences were beginning to shift away from sweet vanilla, or it pushed me forward towards fruity and woody preferences.

This, could possibly be the most hyped up product when it comes to Lush. Its a big call, but i think i am right, because i have heard about the product alot. When i first heard about lush, i was introduced to this product, but i never brought it because, its only a body wash. Like i need to spend $22 on a body wash.

Well, it seems like since that original thought, my self-resistance has weakened even more if that was possible. When Mid-winter July came around, i snapped this up in a heart beat, and let me tell you. It did not dissapoint.

This body wash comes in a plastic bottle, with a black lid. The lid only has a small hole, so only a little bit of the product is released at a time. Clearly a good thing considering the price.

The clear bottle lets you see the pretty pink liquid in side, which is flecked with little pieces of glitter. Sigh* So pretty. The consistency of this is.. hard to describe. I would consider quite thick for a body wash, and would maybe compare it the consistency of honey? Maybe even thicker.

And the smell.. Wowzers. It smells like candyfloss, sweet treat, happiness and unicorns.. okay well i don't know about that last two, but its smells amazing. Its sweet, and i find it really uplifting because i love a sweet sugary smell. This smell also lingers on the skin so double bonus. It lathers really well, and cleans skin without stripping it.

This is my special shower gel, its way to nice to use everyday, especially when i can't get my hands on this again till xmas. If it was more affordable, i would use this and nothing else. But it is pricey (the only con about this product), but a nice treat in the shower or bath.

Having only recently purchased this I was straight into using it immediately! I have used it every night since and I have just placed another order to buy two more bottles! That smell... Heavenly!!

The first bottle I bought was a mere 100ml to try it out, but I have another shipment coming this week hopefully (two larger bottles) and I may (if a Christmas pack takes my fancy) buy more.

The shower gel is a pretty pink thick shower gel with blue shimmery sparkles through it. It smells like raspberry jelly and candyfloss. My only wish (and reason I haven't given it a perfect score) is that the blue shimmer doesn't stay around and the scent fades soon after leaving the shower.

I have admitted to my husband that I now have a Lush addiction and now he understands (or that's what he tells me). Why must this be limited edition? It reminds me of sweet childhood memories, and gorgeous bath products I had back then. It doesn't lather as much as other shower gels but that doesn't worry me in the slightest.

Snow Fairy is my absolute favourite scent from Lush. I wish they would make it permanent. I always stock up when they bring it out! When it comes to this scent….I do not care about the price. That’s how much I love it. I got the biggest bottle of this body was for Christmas and I love it! First off, the scent! It’s sweet, but not sickening and it honestly makes me want to drink the body wash (I don’t though haha). You don’t need to much…a little goes a long way! It lathers up so nicely, and it does not dry out my skin. I feel and smell of fresh. This is definitely a must have for me! An expensive staple that I am more than happy to splurge on

Ever feel like you are floating on a cloud of pink candy floss whilst eating pear drops with your eyes closed, there is the sound of a waterfall below you and then boom you're awake, that is the Lush Snow Fairy experience, you step into the shower and close your eyes then transport yourself to candy land. Lush only bring Snow Fairy out for the Christmas season so when it rolled around this year I made sure I was ready and purchased 3 x 250g (the largest size) bottles to store, I have been rationally using this inter spread with other shower gels to make it last through to the next release, it currently isn’t going well so I need to spread it out more as some days you just need this scent to make you go Ahh that’s better.

The packaging of this shower gel is in keeping with all the other bottles in the Lush family of products, with the exception of the flip lid this drove me insane with my first bottle but it must have been a dud as I am now on my 2nd bottle and this lid behaves itself. Inside is a shimmering pink liquid as sugary looking as a packet of candy floss and the shimmer of tiny silver particles gives it a glossy sheen that just gives me shivers thinking about it. I truly 100% love this shower gel, it makes me happy, and it makes the husband happy as he reckons it suits me but it also evokes good memories. Any Brit will know what I mean when I say that this reminds me of eating sticky pear drops on the back door step in the middle of summer, when crunched into that sweet flavour not only feels good on your mouth but it hits your nose with the smell of well...happiness. It is that in a bottle people...ugh I just can’t explain it to its full worth honestly. However if you are turned off by sweet things then walk on by this baby and leave it for those of us who do as you will not like it my friend!!

OK all the gooey I love this stuff for it smell aside, it is also a freaking awesome shower gel, it pours out with a syrup thickness that allows you to pop out just a blob onto a sponge or puff to get mountains of frothy foam all over you, if you squeeze out more than a blob you are going to be knee deep in foam whilst you shower. Maybe not exactly to your knee but this stuff has serious foam-ability. It is not drying, nor does it irritate me. In fact it leaves me silky smooth, smiling, in a good mood to tackle the day and the smell mellows done to an almost vanilla cream soda scent that sticks around for a while.

This is my all time favourite shower gel that is available for only the Christmas season at Lush. This is something I have to stock up on every year, as it is my absolute favourite. It is such a girly candy scent that gives my mood such a boost!

I only need to use the tiniest amount, nowhere near the amount I use with other supermarket branded shower gels. It foams up and has so much scent for such a small amount. One bottle lasts a long time, even the 100ml size will last me about 6-8 weeks, so I think it works out to be good value for money.

I only wish it was available all year round.

The Lush snow fairy shower gel is one of my all time favourite products from Lush! It smells amazing, very sweet like cotton candy and Bubblegum, it's super girly but suitable for girls of all ages. There is no downside to this product except that it is a Christmas limited edition product so unfortunately it's not available all year round. It is a runny pink formula with little bits of glitter, which don't stick to your body and make you super sparkly. The scent can smell sickly and overpowering but when you get out of the shower it isn't to overpowering it's a good subtle sweet lolly scent. It leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth and smelling sweet!

Loved this product. The only downfall is it didn't go well with my eczema. However I do struggle a lot with my skin so would definitely recommend it to others!
