Lush Fairy Dust Review

Fairy dust!! I was so so excited when I saw this on the lush website the words "fairy dust" had me.. I guess sometimes I am still am a small girl (or part magpie) and anything glittery or shimmery and I'm all over it- Not too much though I don't wanna look all disco ball fever ya know?!

It comes in a clear bottle, identical to the 100ml Lush shower gel bottles so take caution! This fairy dust Ka poofs everywhere. Just a gentle squeeze of the bottle and it comes out, I rub it over my arms it gives just a hint of shimmer and a whole lotta snow fairy scent. It's like lifting the lid on a bottle of snow fairy and taking a whiff except it's all over your skin, it does fade as time goes by but it's rather strong when you first use it.

The bottle suggested to use it on sheets... Well I sprinkled a tiny bit on my side of the bed but the man woke up all shimmer shimmer and wasn't overly impressed with "all that girly stuff" on him. I don't think it really held the scent on the sheets too well either so kept it for using on my arms and legs (when I felt brave enough to bare them)

Overall a nice product but not something I could personally use every day will use it and buy it again next summer.

Ok I confess, I own a few bottles of fairy dust... 3 to be precise, and one for my daughter... I know I am pandering to my inner child but I see no rule book and I adore the scent and shimmer that this magical dust brings.

Once I bought my first bottle I knew I needed more and with some words of enabling from a fellow BR babe (Shazatron you gorgeous fairy) I bought another and another... well you get the picture. Every time someone comes to my house I offer up a little fairy magic and have gotten a few more addicted to the pink shimmery snowfairy scented dust.

The bottle is the same as the shower gels (100ml size) and the cap allows you to either shake a little or squeeze (pooof) out a lot... I prefer the shake and rub to get the most out of it. My kids ask for it when they need a wee pick me up after a long week at school or scraping a knee or just for a wee special treat :D It may be a mind over matter thing but this works so well at calming the inner beasts and the sparkly shimmer glimmers away in the sunlight for hours after. It really is magical and ageless

Not normally a talc powder kind of girl and if this didn't come in the Christmas gift box for Snow Fairy then I wouldn't have brought it.

Filled with a ground up powder of baby pink that is scattered amongst glitters, once applied to your skin it has this almost sticky quality that does wear off after a while to leave a fairy sparkle all over your body, which is cute, who doesn't love a bit of sparkle right.

Fragrance though is the problem with this product, from opening the lid the waft of warm, sweet almost sickening candy floss and pear drops scent assaulted my nostrils. In for a penny, I popped it on my skin nonetheless in the event that the scent mellowed on my skin, but it didn't. There is hints of strawberry but it just smells like those sugar coated strawberry laces and sherbet. If you are into these super sweet candy scents then you are going to love this. There is no way that this dust smells like a powder version of my beloved snow fairy shower gel, that is far more adult and refined in its scents.

The Lush Fairy Dust is the one product guaranteed to make you feel like a total fairy princess after using it! This super pretty, pale pink, shimmery powder has the same scent as the Snow Fairy shower gel — think super sweet, candyfloss meets cherry. The scent is actually a bit too sickly sweet for me, but this powder is still really nice for making skin lovely and smooth, with a subtle pretty shimmer. Would definitely recommend if you're into sweet scents and want a nice body powder, or as a gift for any fairy-loving kids in your life :)

If ever there were a product to make you feel all girly and fairy like, this is that miracle. If you don't like Snow Fairy then don't go anywhere near this - it's basically dehydrated Snow Fairy in a silky, shimmery powder base.

Lush Fairy Dust comes in the same bottle as the Snow Fairy shower gel - personally I'd love to see it in a puff bottle like the Body Shop Shimmer powders, but Lush do have a definite aestethic and the packaging is in line with that. The Electric pink label and pale pink 'dust' leave you in no doubt that this is going to be super sweet, super girly, and super pretty. I adore Snow Fairy and so I wasn't disappointed there!

Usage can be a little messy - you 'puff' the dust on and pat/rub it into your skin. It's not too bad, unless you miss - or squeeze too hard (or it's windy) but once it starts to escape it can end up everywhere very quickly. End result = a room smelling like Snow Fairy = not the end of the world!

It's shimmery but not glittery, and makes a pretty decent perfume for those super girls days. I was a bit worried that it may dry out my skin but it doesn't seem to, which is awesome. It just makes my skin seem silky, smell amazing, and application is a joy - it's like being a little kid again playing with fun products (like bath crayons - man that was fun!)

Long story short, if you're not a Snow Fairy fan, stay clear. If you are, buy buy buy! A little goes a long way though - I ended up with two after Xmas and sent one to a friend because I couldn't see myself getting through both before expiry.

I had received one of these in a Lush gift box a while ago, I must say how beautiful the dust looks inside. I wasn't entirely sure how to use this until I flicked the lid and gave it a smell, the whiff of Snow fairy in a powdered form is such a wonderful experience! I had never tried the Lush powders before so I was very excited to use this.

The shimmery powder is very very fine and it has tiny flecks of glitter all through it. You only need a small amount to apply to your skin but it is hard not to use a lot because it looks and smells divine.

My daughter loves this the most. After her bath at night she sprinkles herself with this magical Fairy dust and she says it gives her good fairy dreams, so now it is in her routine to use this before bed.

I like to sprinkle this on my chest to give it an extra shimmer and on my arms. Between my daughter and me, we love this so much.

I will be purchasing this again.

When I was in Lush one of the Lush girls was secretly sprinkling this on her workmate, and the smell hit me. I love all the sweet smells from Lush. Snow Fairy is my favourite, I have to stock up so that I don't have to miss that smell!

Fairy Dust is a beautiful scented, sparkling powder that I think is designed to be used like talc. The packaging is the same as the bottle that the shower gels come in - which is a little awkward for a powder... "It's not coming out...i'ts not coming out...it's EVERYWHERE" was my sons exclamation as he wanted to try it.

It's great for those hot days to just pop down your cleavage, maybe TMI, but nobody likes boob sweat ;) My favourite use though has been in my drawers. I still line my drawers, but this time when I replaced it I sprinkled some fairy dust down first. My clothes come out smelling lovely, its great!

This will be a definite repurchase for me, would love to try the other scents too - but different packaging would make it much easier.

I use this in the summer to powder any 'sweat areas' and it does the trick quite well. It's not my very favourite scent (it's quite candy-ish) but I don't mind it and it doesn't seem to linger long.

This one does have a bit of sparkle in it - again not my preference but it's not super sparkle or anything.

While I do like it to keep dry, it can be a bit drying in areas.

Would I buy again? Not if there was another option (Silky Underwear I'm looking at you ;))

I love this product! I purchased the snow castle gift box and inside was a bottle of this.

Now without knowing what this product actually was and what it was used for, I jumped out of the shower dried off and placed some into my hands. Without looking, rubbed it all over my body, turned around and there I stood in the mirror shining a shiny glittery glow.

I was under the impression it was like a talcum powder but with the most amazing smell you could ever ask for. Which it sort of is, it's just laced with glitter. After covering myself and having a laugh I soon realised I was going too the Inlaws for tea like this.

The product smells AMAZING. Like a sugary Candy Floss. It's very similar too the shower gel Snow Fairy. It also reminded me of their product Pink Fun. All amazingly beautiful scents.

The fairy dust comes in a bottle like the shower gels. Pop the lid off and sprinkle gently or you will wind up with it everywhere. It would be really cool to see this come in a bottle with a lid like they have on top of talcum powders :)

Not only does it smell amazing it's Pink!!! Other than using it as an all over body shimmer for a night out, I've used this as a carpet powder! Sprinkle it over the carpets and my little one walks it in. My house smells great and my toddler loves her sparkly feet lol. After a vaccum the carpets still smell like fairy dust!

This is one of my faves from Lush
