Lush Fairy Dust Review

I got this in a snow fairy pack I bought from lush because that was all that was available, with snow fairy products selling out fast. First of all the scent is amazing!!!! I'm on love with the snow fairy scent. So it's already a winner. The powder leaves your skin scented beautifully and also so glittery which is great for certain special occasions when you just want to sparkle. I think this would make such an awesome gift for a tween or teen.

I got the Fairy Dust with a bottle of Snow Fairy Shower Gel, because how could I not? I was sold at the words Fairy Dust.

Fairy Dust is a light pink shimmery powder with very fine glitter in it. It is a dusting powder to make your body shimmer and I also use it on my cheeks.

I was a bit disappointed, my bottle wasn't that glittery and I had to use a lot to create much of an effect, so as far as shimmery results go not the best.

The smell however is a true powdery version of snow fairy and just like the shower gel it can be a a lovely pick me up.

The packaging can be recycled and the tops recycled at your local Lush.

I might repurchase. I'll decide when I finish the bottle.

Why did I need this? Every now and then I see this product on my vanity and ask myself this question. It smells like Snow Fairy, that’s why. You can dust it onto your arms and shoulders for a sweet shimmer, or do as I do and sprinkle it onto your bedding. Makes everything smell great!

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.

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 ;))

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 :)

I'm a Lush newbie and was gifted a Snow Fairy box for Christmas by my hubby.

I used my Fairy Dust for the first time by sprinkling a little onto my fingers, rubbing my hands together and spreading it over my chest and arms but I think I underestimated the amount of glitter in there, as my chest and collarbone had some serious twinkle going on. I looked like I belonged as an extra on one of the "Twilight" movies. Lol!

I came out the bathroom and hubby asked "What's with the stripper glitter?", so I thanked him and told him it was the powder that HE bought me for Christmas and that provided a good chuckle and led to him calling me "Sparkles" all morning. Haha.

So, what's the best way to apply Fairy Dust? Well, the instructions say to apply a little using fingertips (and that didn't work too well for me), others choose to squeeze the plastic flip top bottle to create a Fairy Dust cloud to walk through and then there are those who multi-task with it and use it as a body powder on a powder puff, use it as a facial highlighter or even a room fragrancer (by sprinkling some on the carpet before vacuuming).

Personally, I experimented with with an old powder brush that I'd replaced and used the brush to apply a very light dusting of the pale pink powder to my body. This worked so much better than using my hands. I ended up with the wonderful, sweet scent of Fairy Dust and just a light shimmer on my décolleté, collarbone and shoulders instead of being very glittery and sparkly.

Would I buy another bottle of Fairy Dust? Probably not. Don't get me wrong, I love the smell and I love the fine powder, I'm just not a fan of that much glitter and it seems like the amount of glitter seems to vary from one batch to another. If Lush did a glitter-free version, I'd definitely consider it (but then it would't really be Fairy Dust, would it?).

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.
