Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel Review

You know that sound Homer Simpson makes when he is drooling over something delicious? That is legitimately the sound I make when thinking about this or using it or writing a review about it...

I managed to score a bottle of this for myself at Christmas and then (much to my delight), a friend gave me another bottle as a Christmas present! Yeaaaah boiiiii. I was stoked. This is my all time favourite Lush shower gel.

As with other Lush shower gels, this comes in a squeeze bottle with a lid and cap. The packaging is quite cute and I like that Lush always have cute and clever descriptions of their products. The gel itself is a gorgeous pink and doesn't have any glitter.

The scent is... Absolutely heavenly!!! It's like candy floss and what unicorns would smell like. It is a super sweet and girly scent so this would be awesome for all ages, from little girls to teens to grown women. I think the scent can appeal to anyone that likes sweet scents. Even though I am not usually a sweet smell type of gal, this ticks all of the boxes. If you have smelled Candle Crushes Kid in a Candy store candle, this is like the gel version of that candle. Mmmmmm.

The only thing that makes me sad about this is that it is limited edition, so I believe it is only available around Christmas time. If you can, stock up on it at Christmas and enjoy it until next Christmas!

This shower gel has got to be a Christmas highlight! I was gifted it a few years ago and have been back to buy it a couple of times since. It has the most beautiful sweet scent that definitely smells like pink bubblegum and candy (if you're into that kind of thing). For me a little goes a long way so it lasts me a while. I've never found the glitter to be too over the top and quite honestly don't notice it on my skin after but it's a nice addition to the bottle. It's one of those shower gels that makes me feel extra good when I use it because it fills your shower with its gorgeous scent! I definitely recommend trying this one out, it's delicious.

I love the formulation of Lush shower gels in general, they never seem to be too harsh on the skin and Snow Fairy in particular is a favourite of mine. It smells really sweet so it isn't for everyone but I'm a cupcake & candy kinda gal so this is right up my alley. It is a gorgeous bubblegum pink with a blueish/purple-ish shimmer that really looks like something a fairy would leave behind, The shimmer doesn't seem to cake on to your skin, leaving you looking like a Twilight vampire after your bath but it does leave you smelling like you've spent the day rolling in cotton candy & bubblegum :) The packaging is just a clear plastic bottle with a flip-top lid which can be a bit annoying, I've managed to snap a few caps but it was easy enough to decant the shower gel into an old shower gel bottle with a pump :)

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.
