I first tried this when I did an order with the gorgeous Shana. I opened the lid of her bottle and had a sniff, and then another and another. Holy crap! This is Snow Fairy!?!? I stole a tiny amount to wash my hands with and fell in love with the smell on my hands, but at the time it made my hands feel a bit dry and it put me off, and I couldn't understand why people loved something that was so drying.
Fast forward a few months, I was sent a sample of it in an order. Well! I used it in the shower and it was a different story. The scent of Snow Fairy engulfed me and I was living in a candy wonderland, where it was all rainbows and sunshine and candy floss clouds. It smells so very sweet and like everything is right in the world. Unfortunately for my bank account, I was hooked.
The color is a gorgeous pink with a purpley blue shimmer glitter throughout the entire gel. It's very attractive and I can't bring myself to use my 100ml because I like to pick it up and sniff it and move the gel around so I can see it shimmering. The scent lasts a while on the skin, but it would last longer with a lotion (c'mon Lush!! I need it!!). And surprisingly, it's not as drying as I originally thought it was, in fact, it's perfect, and I'm in love. I have already stocked up so hopefully I have enough to last until the mid winter Christmas ;-)
I had been waiting all year for the Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel to come out in stores! Convinced the boyfriend to buy me a nice big bottle, and have been loving it all season!
Before I start on the actual product, I think it's so great that LUSH stands for so many wonderful things like natural ingredients, handmade products, cruelty-free methods, etc. So awesome that in buying Snow Fairy it's also supporting such a great cause.
The product itself is a total dream. The scent is VERY sweet and sugary - I personally love it, but if you're not a sweet scent person then you will be very overwhelmed by this fragrance! It is a very strong candyfloss-type smell. The shower gel is bright pink with natural mica glitters, lathers up great using a loofah, and is very soft and gentle on skin. It leaves the skin with a very subtle Snow Fairy fragrance throughout the day, which I absolutely love. When my bottle runs out I will be very disappointed - but ready to stock up again next year!
