I got a small bottle of Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel in a gift pack for Christmas and after reading so many good things about it, I really wanted to like this product.
Unfortunately, I found the smell of Snow Fairy Shower Gel to be sickly sweet and overpowering, especially in our enclosed shower (we have a shower dome, so the scent gets trapped in there with the steam and there's no airflow until you get out). The first time I'd used it, by the time I'd finished showering and climbed out, I felt like I'd showered with candyfloss and had seriously overdosed on sugar; the scent of this product left the same strange feeling in back of my mouth that I get when I eat too much of something sickly sweet and I couldn't wait to get out into some fresh air. Not a good first impression of a product!
It did leave the bathroom smelling nice, it lathers really well and the little bottle lasts a long time, as only a small amount is needed to get a rich lather.
I really wanted to like this Shower Gel, as I love the smell of Fairy Dust, but I just found Snow Fairy to be too overpoweringly strong. I don't know if the strength of the scent differs from batch to batch, but unfortunately, I won't be buying any more Snow Fairy Shower Gel.
I picked up a 100ml bottle to see what the fuss was over on snow fairy. Upon opening this magical little bottle I could smell wine gums and bubble gum, childhood dreams all over again. The first time I used it all I could seem to smell is jellybeans. If you don't like bright pink with sparkles this is not for you as this is the liquid in the magic bottle. The sparkles do sink to the bottom of the bottle over time and I have never noticed them on me after the shower so I could skip them in the formula to be honest. The gel has a medium consistency and doesn't hold shape once squeezed out. The pink gel lathers easily on my loofah and I feel clean after using it. This is a limited edition at Lush that seems to come out twice a year at present and I am feeling this as a repurchase to remind of childhood dreams.
