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.

Penguin Bath Bomb from Lush

The Penguin Bath Bomb is a brand-new, limited-edition product from Lush’s 2023 Christmas line.

With the Penguin bath bomb, Lush have designed one of their cutest, bath-bomb-characters to date. It’s a mostly violet coloured penguin, with a snow-white face, belly, and strikingly orange beak. The Penguin bath bombs look is all finished off with its adorable hot pink bow tie.

Weighing in at approximately 175g each the Penguin bath bomb is quite big, it’s one of Lush’s bigger more flatter bath bombs and is almost as big as my (little bit smaller than average) hand.

The Penguin bath bomb contains bergamot oil, Sicilian lemon oil, orange flower absolute and Sicilian red mandarin oil.

It shares its scent with Lush’s incredibly popular, The Olive Branch shower gel. If you’ve been a Lush customer for quite some time, you’ll most likely recognise its scent from the, The Christmas Penguin bubble bar from past Christmas lines too.

The ‘Olive Branch’ scent family is a much-loved Lush fragrance that I’m always happy to see make an appearance in any product format.

The Olive Branch scent is best described as a delicate citrus fragrance. It is perfect for anyone who is wary of the stronger fragrances Lush are often associated with.

As soon as the Penguin bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with a gentle stream of violet bubbles.

The Penguin bath bomb is not fantastic bath-art-wise BUT does create a few colourful groups of bubbles as it dissolves. Once the water takes over, the penguin’s beak and pink bow fizzle away too.

The Penguin bath bomb takes approximately 5 minutes to fully dissolve and turns your bath water a milky violet colour.

I found the waters left behind by the Penguin bath bomb silky smooth and incredibly refreshing. It’s gentle ‘Olive Branch’ scent can also still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath.

My skin still felt soft and hydrated for the whole of the next day after using it too, it’s an incredibly hydrating bath bomb.

I really enjoyed using the Penguin bath bomb, I’d have maybe liked a bit more bath art out of it but other than that I think it’s a fantastic addition to not only the Christmas line but also the Olive Branch Lush-scent-family.

Gingerbread Lip Scrub from Lush

The main ingredient in all of Lush’s lip scrubs is caster sugar. To this day I am still lost for words that such a simple and natural mix of ingredients can do such a great job at exfoliating.

It really does make me question why other cosmetic companies ever chose to use (the now illegal) micro-plastics over sugar in their exfoliation products.

Lush’s lip scrubs are ridiculously underrated and today I am going to be reviewing the Gingerbread Lip Scrub from Lush’s 2023, Christmas line.

I use Lush lip scrubs almost every day so whenever a new one comes out, I always make sure I grab a pot.

Using Lush lip scrubs requires a minimum amount of effort, and they cover everything your lips need to always look and feel their best. They are the perfect product to exfoliate dry or chapped lips and are also very good at softening and hydrating them at the same time.

Exfoliating your lips has so many benefits and with all thanks to Lush, it has never been easier to do.

The Gingerbread lip scrub is brand new to Lush this year and packed full of gingerbread-baking-ingredients.

As well as caster sugar, the Gingerbread lip scrub also contains organic jojoba oil, granulated sugar, fair trade shea butter, fine sea salt, bergamot oil, cinnamon leaf oil, carob resinoid, ginger oil, benzoin resinoid and cocoa powder.

To use, simply scoop out a little amount of the lip scrub onto your finger and gently buff your lips with it. You can then wipe off the excess.

Lush’s lip scrubs are obviously not meant to be eaten; BUT if a little amount of it does accidently end up in your mouth while you are scrubbing your lips, you don’t need to worry.

The Gingerbread lip scrub is a similar colour to brown sugar.

Ordinarily, I tend to favour the lighter or more natural to actual lip-colour lip scrubs over the brightly coloured ones because I find that the highly pigmented scrubs can sometimes (after use) leave your lips with a slight tinge of whatever colour the lip scrub is.

With the Gingerbread lip scrub being a more natural colour, I am pleased to report that I didn’t get this problem.

Even though I’m usually not a huge fan of the Lush products that are super sweet, I find that the Gingerbread lip scrub is the perfect mix of sweet and spicy.

It tastes and smells more or less the same as a gingerbread cookie but it also reminds me of carrot cake too.

If I had to choose a favourite out of the new 2023 lip scrub releases the Gingerbread lip scrub would be in my top 3.

A small amount of it goes a long way as it’s such a fine and scrubby formula. My lips feel smoother with little to no effort, and I also find the formula very hydrating.

I do however recommend a quick dab of lip balm after using lip scrubs, especially in the Winter just to add an extra layer of hydration.

I think it’s safe to say that I love the Gingerbread lip scrub; It exfoliates and hydrates your lips perfectly and tastes and smells incredible too.

Lush, If you read this, we need a lip balm in this same scent for next Christmas please!
