Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel Review

If candyfloss had a smell, this would be it. Almost sickly sweet but oh so addictive this shimmering pink gel is just what the doctor ordered to cheer up even the darkest of days (or to make shower time more fun). I buy a bottle of snowfairy every year, and in recent years have discovered the snow fairy scented reuseable bubble wand. A dollop onto a shower poof is all you need to create a mass of sweet swelling bubbles, and if you are feeling a little more adventurous, I find that all of lush' showergels double up as bubble bath foam. Simply drop under running water for masses of bubbles!

Love this gorgeous body wash by Lush! Like all Lush products it comes in simple packaging, but inside is bright pink & sparkly - very eyecatching! The scent is really sweet and girly - they describe it as candy floss, and theyre pretty spot on! I also use this in my toddlers bath each evening - she smells just heavenly :) I like to stock up on a years supply each christmas (its limited edition) and a little really goes a long way with this body wash, and its a good consistency - not too runny. Its super foamy and strong scented.

This is a family favourite- it makes the steam in the bathroom smell like a lolly shop and oh so yummy. An opaque pink liquid with shimmery glitter particles, you only need a small amount on a shower puffer to get a rich lather. Scent doesn't last that long on your body afterwards once your dry and dressed etc but it's nice while your showering.

I got this in a Secret Santa gift for Christmas. It's the best present I've ever received.

I can't get enough of the fragrance! I want to eat it and bathe in it all at once. It reminds me of those red razoo (?) lollies I used to eat as a kid. Sweet and vanilla-fruity (I'm so terrible at describing scents, sorry).

I love using this in the shower before bed, because then I get to smell it all night. It lathers up really well, and you only need to use a small squeeze of product.

I need to track this down and purchase it in bulk. So far I've been unsuccessful in finding it here in Auckland, but I'll never give up looking. It's the best body wash I've ever used.

Lush's environmentally friendly ingredients and packaging start this shower gel ahead of the rest. I also love the combination of handmade yet professional that is offered in all of Lush's products. The Snow Fairy shower gel is only offered during the Christmas period, sells out quickly and has a cult following among the Youtube and Blogger community. Everything about the Snow Fairy shower gel had to me sold in store - from the glitter to the sweet scent of icing on a cake. I thought that this was exactly what I wanted in a shower gel. Upon actually using it in my morning shower routine, I realised that waking up to the sickly sweet scent of bubblegum, vanilla and cotton candy isn't as appealing as it seemed in the store. During my second week of using the Snow Fairy shower gel, I felt like a kid who has overdosed on pink icing at a birthday party. Alas, I had the massive (for Lush sizes) 16.9 ounce bottle to get through.

If you do love the scent (and even if you think you do, I recommend the smaller size), the formula is nice. A little goes a long way, particularly if you use it with a loofah. The formula is a little jelly like, and clumps together a lot more than The Body Shop shower gel formula. The scent lingers on the skin, and chances are it will mix well with your vanilla based perfume. The glitter is a nice touch, although it isn't visible on the skin. And again, no store can beat the ethical qualities of Lush. Snow Fairy either entered my bathroom as my preferences were beginning to shift away from sweet vanilla, or it pushed me forward towards fruity and woody preferences.

I love this limited edition Snow Fairy shower gel, can't wait for Christmas to roll around so I can get some more. I would have given this a perfect score if it weren't for the rather high price tag for a shower gel and the fact the scent doesn't linger for very long after your shower.

The bottle is OK - I have purchased the large bottle in the past and it ends up looking a bit worse for wear from being squeezed and doesn't hold it's shape but that's a minor gripe. It looks very pretty in the shower until the bottle gets all dented.

You don't need copious amounts of product as it does lather really well, one decent sized squirt is all it takes.

The glitter contained within doesn't cling to your skin, thank goodness. I probably wouldn't use it if it did as I feel glitter is for young people.

The scent is so hard to describe - I wouldn't call it Christmasy. It's very very sweet with an aroma of pear mixed in somewhere there.

It definitely makes showering pleasurable, but for the price I limit myself to one bottle a year.

Every christmas I look forward to the lush limited edition snow fairy shower gel! It smells like bubble gum or/and candy floss, has a gorgeous pink colour and fine glitter/shimmer in the actual product! I would recommend snow fairy for the most part to the real girly girl as some would find the scent sickly/overwhelming. A small amount is all that is needed which means a little will go a long way. Starting at around $25 and coming in 3 sizes it is a little pricey for shower gel but at least there are the 3 size/price point options! And, being limited edition, its worth the wait and the price as a christmas treat (or present idea!) As a company I love lush for its ethics also so thats an added bonus!!

I know a lot of people who gave this a great review, I am a hard core lushie an use everything lush wise an have tried may products by them. Unforcently for me I did not like this one an I purchused the 500g biggest bottle they have, I'm not into extreme sweet scents so this was a miss for me as it was also so overpowering. It's only available mid year Christmas I believe and Christmas time. The smell does linger after a shower with this.

This is just so much fun to use. I adore sweet smelling beauty products and perfumes and this ticked my sweet tooth box. I was given it as part of a Christmas box set from Lush and this was one of my favourite prices from it. I really enjoy using it in the shower and I actually hide it when Im done so that no one else in the house will steal any HAHAHA. I have to say that I am just a tiny bit disappointed that the slight sparkle in the bottle does not cross over to the body, but aside from that I am a happy girl. It has the right amount of bubble for me making it perfect to go straight from body washing to leg shaving and again it just smells divine. Lush sure do have products good enough to eat & I enjoy the fact that they can keep their packaging simple because the Wow factor is in the product alone.

This was a lovely gift from a friend who is a hard core Lush fan and wow it really doesn't disappoint! The scent is extremely DELISH!!!! I'm a huge fan of vanilla and well anything sweet smelling.

The packaging is simple but still modern and attractive

The gel lathers incredibly easily and leaves your skin really soft and super sweet smelling as well as leaving the bath room with a beautiful scent for hours after!!

I will be sad when my bottle runs out but keen to replace when LUSH stock it again
