Lush Magic Wand Review

I have checked out quite a few Lush bubble bars lately and this would have to be my favourite. There are two reasons for this, one I love the scent and two I love the wand.

The scent is similar to snow fairy which is one of my favourite shower gels.

The wand on the bubble bar allows you to hold the bubble bar under hot running water when you start your bath rather than having to wait for when you run the cooler water after the hot water and then putting your hands in the water stream. With the bubble bar you don't even seem to need to crumble it, just hold it under the water then agitate the bath water.

What I was not keen on was the price, for 100g I felt that $12.50 was a little on the pricey side when compared to the comforter which is 200g for the same price or candy mountain which I think was $8.50 for 100g.

So my favourite bubble bar design, but not the cheapest.

I adore stars! So when I found a friend had gifted me this from Lush for Christmas I was super duper excited.

This is a bit different from your usual Lush product in that it is a bubble bar on a stick meaning that you can swish it in the water to create the bubbles. Unfortunately for me the stick broke on mine somehow so I ended up trying to hold it from one of the points on the star. I love the multi use factor, as long as you keep it dry in between uses. I haven't purchased this before because I am not completely sold on the scent. This is incredibly sweet like candy floss, they say it is vanilla scented but all I get is the candy scent. This turned the bath water a lovely pink which was nice and it did create quite a few bubbles. Although I think I had to use at least a quarter of the product to get a good amount of bubbles which sucks when they say you can use it more than 10 times. Even though there was a good amount of bubbles it still wasn't a massive amount like I was expecting. It did leave my skin feeling nice and soft though as most Lush products do.

I don't know if I would repurchase this because the scent isn't my fav, but it certainly is fun to try and I would recommend it as a gift.

I'm a massive fan of the snow fairy scent, and stock up on it every year, so I was very excited to purchase the Magic Wand. It smells so girly and delicious - vanilla and bubble gum are the two scents I pick up on. So far I've used mine to add bubbles to two baths, and it has hardly shrunk (therefore very economical :-))

I also like to use it also with other lush bath products, as not all are bubbly, this adds the missing piece. Will definitely be stocking up on this if it comes back in stock.

Snow fairy, that sweet, sugary, candy shop scent. If you have a sweet tooth like me then you will love this bubble wand. Especially if you have the smaller lush enthusiasts in your house too.

As Christmas was approaching I decided I needed a few of these as I could see they would be great for the mini me's and I was right they were a hit. My 2 girls are obsessed with mummy's lush and bath bombs, so to give them one each was a huge thing for them thinking they were so special having their "own" lush. And to have a "fairy wand" made it all the more special.

The bright pink star shaped bubble bar sat perfectly at the top of a big skewer, topped off with a silver bow and a bell and loads of silver shimmer.

Whilst running the bath you can either swirl it around in the water or holding it gently under the running water, which is the way we did it to get loads of bubbles. I was surprised at how many bubbles can be made and how much scent goes into the water from just a few seconds of use.

The water barely changes colour but the scent is quite snow fairy strong. The scent lingers on the skin for a long time afterwards too which I love. I used this with the Father Christmas bath bomb and made it an extra sweet bath.

I love the concept of the wand as you get approximately 10-12 baths per wand which is super value for money. Each time it was used we sat it upright to dry and the scent filled the bedroom. It was a sad day when the last of it was used. I will be stock piling these next Christmas for sure.

After seeing this novel approach to bubble bars in Lush I grabbed a couple as I knew I loved the smell which it was created with..snow fairy!!

These are adorable cut stars which have been stuck onto a Popsicle type stick, dusted with a healthy coating of silver glitter, tied with a silver ribbon...well 1 of mine did the other one was absence but that is nothing to cry over.

The goal of these magic wands is that whilst the water is filling your bath you swish it in the rising water to create a mass of bubbles and scent the water with the snow fairy fragrance. With the magic wand then being put aside for another 2-3 baths. There lies the problem for me I am lazy, and impatient, plus I hate clutter and mess so the idea of swishing the wand then putting it somewhere where the cat/dog hair doesn't effect it (it comes with no container to put it into so you will need to pop it into a seal able bag or cling wrap it), it won't get knocked off, won't look untidy and won't get overlooked so it isn't used but thrown out is a big deal. So I ended up crumbling the wet wand once I swished it around under the running tap to use it all in one go.

Swishing alone gave a lot of bubbles and turned the water into a soft pink shade with a lot of silver glitter falling into it which was pretty and can see the attraction this would be to mothers trying to get their daughters into the bath of their own free will...have nieces I totally understand that drama! However crumbling the whole star under the tap made a mountain of frothy foaming bubbles and the water turned milky pink with glitter clouds suspended among it...so pretty and smelling so sweet like candy floss.

So I wouldn't buy these again as it is a waste of money when the Candy Mountain bubble bar does the same thing for me, for those who can tolerate it as a multi use product you will love it.

I love this idea of the bubble bar being on a stick and re usable!

This bright pink star coated in silver glitter on a stick is much harder than your normal bubble bar. I feel it's like this so it doesn't just crumble off the stick and you only get 1 use from it instead of several.

Straight away when my daughter and I ran it through the bathe water we noticed the sweet raspberry scent. It's still very snow fairy smelling as well. Then came the 'Mum, Mum, Mum, look! Glitter!' As soon as the star wand touched the water the glitter followed. It washed all off into the water.

I did look at the star after I placed it above the fire place to dry and I couldn't see any more glitter laced through it. I'm unsure If it's mean't to be there or not but if it's not it really should be! It'd be amazing to have a bath full of glitter everytime :)

The bubbles created from this bubble bar/wand are light and fluffy! And there are alot of them.

This is my daughters new fave additive to her baths. Personally I'd use it here and there but definitely a nice one for the little princesses out there xx

First to start off with the good stuff: the scent! Oh my goodness!!! This candy flavour (i.e. snow fairy) is my one of my absolute favourites from Lush. The burst of sweetness that you get as soon as you come within a meter of this scent is to die for it's so good!!

However, I found that the magic wand didn't meet my expectations :( I was super super super excited about it as soon as I heard about its interactive nature along with the delicious flavour. But unfortunately in reality, swishing the whole product in the bath ended up making the whole thing a bit too soft to stay on the stick!

The quality and amount of bubbles also was a little bit of a let down for me. Don't get me wrong, it's still better than nearly all non-Lush bath products I've used before, but compared to say Lush's The Comforter bath bar, the Magic Wand didn't make nearly as much bubbles. And the bubbles that were made disappeared within the first 5 minutes of the bath :(

So I absolutely love the concept and scent, but the reality was not quite as fantastic as expected.

The famous Snow Fairy scent strikes again! This product is insanely fun to use and the fact that it comes on a stick makes it incredibly easy to re-use. Any Christmas bath is not complete without a splash of this, it is as if you are casting a magic spell over your bath and making it even more heavenly. For me, the scent of Snow Fairy = Christmas. And I am a huuuuge fan of Christmas, so this is the one for me!

The packaging was very cute and attractive, the scent was very similar to snow fairy shower gel and the candy mountain. Quite sugary and sweet. It made my skin feel quite soft and hydrated as well as leaving me smelling like candyfloss
