Snow Fairy Foaming Body Scrub from Lush

The Snow Fairy Foaming Body Scrub is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Christmas line.

It is sold in pots of 100g and 240g and is described on Lush’s website as a ‘skin-softening bubble gum body scrub’ that when used, ‘will enter you into your very own candy floss wonderland where sweet soft skin is guaranteed.’

Lush have released quite a few body scrubs over the years BUT at the time of writing this review, other than the Celebrate foaming body scrub, Snow Fairy is the only other foaming one.

The Snow Fairy foaming body scrub is the typical, Snow Fairy pink and is a little harder consistency-wise than I am used to from Lush body scrubs. Its texture is very similar to a lip balm but with grit.

Although it is slightly more solid than other potted, Lush-body-scrubs it’s very easy to get out of the pot, ready to use.

Snow Fairy foaming body scrub’s scent is as its name suggests, Snow Fairy scented. Snow Fairy is a bestselling Lush scent, whatever product format it comes out in, it’s a hit.

At the time of writing this review there are several Snow Fairy scented products available to buy, the Snow Fairy shower jelly, Snow Fairy bath bomb, Snow Fairy body lotion and Snow Fairy shower gel just to name a few…

The Snow Fairy foaming body scrub contains a long list of ingredients, some of those included are, sunflower oil, organic jojoba oil, corn starch, soya oil, candelilla wax and Persian lime oil.

Also included in the ingredients list is ground white rice, this is the secret scrubby ingredient that makes the Snow Fairy foaming body scrub such a good exfoliator.

A very small amount of the Snow Fairy foaming body scrub goes a very long way, I scoop out about 3 fingers worth and that easily does my whole body twice over.

I recommend starting off by working it into your wet skin very slowly, this seems to get the most out of it being a scrub, once you feel like you have scrubbed enough add a little bit more water to it and speed up the rubbing-in to make it foam up, cleansing and exfoliating your skin all in one.

The one thing that I feel that I need to point out when it comes to ALL of the foaming body scrubs that Lush have released so far is that when using them, less is more. I find using too much of the formula leaves your skin oilier than I like my skin to feel fresh out of the shower.

Its super sweet, bubble gum scent remains on your skin long after you have used it and leaves your skin noticeably smoother, brighter-in-appearance and also incredibly hydrated.

I find with Lush’s foaming body scrubs that the end-result of using it, isn’t as oily an experience if you start off by rubbing it into your skin slowly.

In short, if you don’t give it a proper chance to foam-up it will feel very cakey on your skin once you’re out of the shower. A small amount is best and putting it on slowly makes for the best results!

Overall, I love the Snow Fairy foaming body scrub. I cannot wait to see what foaming body scrubs Lush make in the future.

Intergalactic Body Scrub from Lush

The Intergalactic Body Scrub is a brand-new Lush product that (at the time of writing this review) has only ever been available as an exclusive product in December 2023’s Lush Kitchen subscription box. I haven’t heard any news that it will be released elsewhere, but it has been a hugely popular product so Lush would be wise to make more.

I was pleased to see that the pot of Intergalactic body scrub in December 2023’s Lush Kitchen subscription box was a big one at 290g. In November’s subscription box we had the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub only in a 100g pot and I could have really done with a bigger pot.

The Intergalactic body scrub is just like the bath bomb of the same name, a vibrant mix of blue, yellow and pink. Consistency wise I was hoping it would be just like the Barbie Dream sugar scrub, but it is closer to the likes of the foaming body scrubs such as, Celebrate.

The Intergalactic body scrub’s scent is as its name suggests, Intergalactic scented. Intergalactic is a very popular scent-family amongst Lush customers and has featured in several quite recently released products such as the Intergalactic bubble bar. The scent is however best known in its bestselling product format, the Intergalactic bath bomb. 

The Intergalactic body scrub contains a long list of ingredients, some of those included are, caster sugar, fair trade organic cocoa butter, organic extra virgin olive oil, organic illipe butter, mango butter, peppermint oil, grapefruit oil, vetivert oil and cedarwood oil.

The fact that the Intergalactic body scrub is a sugar-based scrub was what made me think it would be just like the Barbie Dream sugar scrub but as I said earlier, consistency wise it’s more like Lush’s foaming body scrubs minus the foam.

I loved the consistency of the Barbie Dream sugar scrub so was really hoping the Intergalactic body scrub would be the same. While the Intergalactic body scrub isn’t the same as Barbie Dream it is in no way a bad scrub, it just wasn’t what I was expecting.

A very small amount of the Intergalactic body scrub goes a very long way, I scoop out about 3 fingers worth, this amount can easily scrub my whole body twice.

I recommend starting off by working it into wet skin slowly as this seems to get the most out of it as a scrub. Once you feel like you have scrubbed enough add a little bit more water and speed up the rubbing-in to make it lather up. It’s an excellent product for both cleansing and exfoliating your skin.

The one thing that I feel I need to point out is that less is more when it comes down to Lush’s body scrubs. The Intergalactic body scrub in particular has a lot of moisturising butters and oils in so using too much can leave your skin a little slick. If you do find it a little too hydrating a splash of the (same scented) Intergalactic shower gel helps to lift some of the skins excess moisture without leaving your skin dry.

After using the Intergalactic body scrub its sharp peppermint and grapefruit scent remains on your skin long after you have used it. It leaves your skin smoother, brighter-in-appearance and well hydrated. There is no need to moisturise after using it and I find it particularly good on my legs when used before shaving.

As scrubs go it’s just as good (if not better) as Lush’s foaming body scrubs. I love that it’s blue, pink, and yellow too. It’s such an interesting design, I’d love to see how Lush make it as the colours swirl so perfectly together and don’t bleed into one another in the pot either.

Overall, I love the Intergalactic body scrub. I hope that this isn’t the last we see of it so that other Lush customers who aren’t subscribed to the Lush Kitchen subscription box get to try it too!

Tropical Co-Mingle Body Scrub from Lush

The first Co-Mingle body scrub was released back in 2022. After its success, Lush decided to release another version of a Co-Mingle body scrub, the Sticky Dates Co-Mingle body scrub. Today I will be reviewing the third Co-Mingle body scrub to be released by Lush, the Tropical Co-Mingle Body Scrub.

At the time of writing this review the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub has only been available in November 2023’s Lush Kitchen subscription box.

Out of the 5 items in November 2023’s Lush Kitchen subscription box, customers will be able to vote for which ones they want to become mainline products. I have my fingers crossed that one of them is the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub as it’s my favourite of the Co-mingles so far, more customers need the chance to try it. I’d also be very pleased to get hold of a bigger pot if it does become a main line product!

The Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub is described by Lush as a ‘tropical scented three-in-one.’ It exfoliates, cleanses, and moisturises your skin all at the same time. After the success of both the original Co-Mingle and Sticky Dates Co-Mingle, I was eager to give the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub a go.

The Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub shares its scent with the Cyclops bubble bar and SpongeBob bath bomb. The best way I can describe its scent is as a rich passion fruit like fragrance.

I have seen several customers say that with it being so fruity, it may be more appropriate as a Summer product. I am however happy to use it all year round but do understand what they mean.

With the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub being a three-in-one product it has a lot of ingredients in it; the scrubby element of it comes from the tagua nut powder. Alongside that, the Tropical Co-Mingle also contains a super-moisturising amount of fairtrade cocoa and shea butter as well as cypress leaf infusion, almond oil, Brazil nut oil, buriti oil, buchu oil, litsea cubeba oil, sweet wild orange oil and fresh pineapple juice.

Consistency-wise, the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub is a little different from the other Co-Mingles; It is not as sloppy and has more of a dried-butter-icing feel to it (see above photo).

A very small amount of the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub goes a long way, but I am gutted that the Lush Kitchen only gave us a 100g pot of it in the Lush Kitchen subscription box. I really do need more so have my fingers crossed it comes back as a permanent product soon.

To use, I scoop out about 3 fingers worth and that easily does my whole body, twice over. Unlike the original two Co-Mingles I find Tropical Co-Mingle incredibly scrubby, I think this is the main reason why I like it the most out of the 3 Lush have created thus far.

When I first got some out of the pot, I thought it felt really creamy and wasn’t expecting much scrub wise HOWEVER, the longer I rubbed it into my skin the scrubbier it seemed to get. The tagua nut powder is incredibly fine but does a perfect job of buffing away any dead skin without making your skin sore. It also washes and hydrates your skin at the same time so there’s no need for a shower gel or body lotion after using it. My skin feels smooth and looks brighter after use.

I adore all of the Co-Mingles created by Lush but I have fallen head over heels in love with the Tropical Co-Mingle body scrub, it’s my favourite of the 3 and I hate to repeat myself again but it really will be a crime if Lush don’t make this body scrub a mainline product as soon as possible!
