Clear the Air Lush Melt from Lush

Today I am reviewing the vegan, Clear the Air Lush Melt. It is a light shade of blue with icy white swirls in it.

If you’ve recently read any of my other Lush Melt reviews, you’ll notice that small snippets of text in each review may be a little repetitive. This is because the majority of visitors to this blog find it through Google searches of individual Lush products.

I always include a ‘what it is’ and ‘how to use’ paragraph in each review just in case it is someone’s first time visiting my website and/or their first time using that particular type of Lush product.

I’ll add the repeated parts in italics so that the frequent review-readers can skim past them!

The Lush Melts are a fairly new type of Lush product, Clear the Air was first released back in March 2023 and at the time of writing this review, is still available to purchase. 

For me, the most exciting thing about the Lush Melts is that they can be used in the bath like a bath oil and also used as a wax melt in a wax burner. I personally prefer using them in wax burners over using them in the bath but both ways of using them are enjoyable and full of fragrance.

Each of the larger 70g Lush Melts that are currently available are a rectangle shape and have 8 separate snappable squares in each bar. Each square has a letter on it, the Clear the Air Lush Melt has LUSH spelt on the first row of squares and MELT spelt on the bottom row of squares.

Clear the Air contains the following ingredients: Fair trade organic cocoa butter, illipe butter, almond oil, eucalyptus oil, lemongrass oil, peppermint oil, rosemary oil and moringa oil.

It shares its scent with several incredibly popular Lush products – The Imperial Egg, Snow Drift and Snowball bath bomb just to name a few.

The scent of the Clear the Air Lush Melt is described on Lush’s website as a ‘eucalyptus and lemongrass refresher’. Just one sniff of it gives me a boost of energy.

Using the Clear the Air Lush Melt in a wax burner:

When I use Lush Melts in a wax burner, I switch between both a tea light burner and plug-in, electric burner. If you use an average sized tea light candle in a tea light burner, both burner types work well enough for me not to have a favourite kind.

The Clear the Air Lush Melts scent is a strong one. Just one cube is enough to fragrance all of our open planned rooms downstairs.

Obviously not everyone has the same type of wax burner so temperatures and melting times will vary for each individual, but I had the Clear the Air Lush Melt on for 4 evenings before I felt I needed to switch it out for another as the scent had weakened.

I found myself reaching for Clear the Air over the last year or so whenever someone in my house was feeling a bit flu like. The blend of eucalyptus oil, lemongrass oil and peppermint oil live up to the Lush Melts name and really does feel as if it clears the air.

It’s such a crisp fragrance that makes me feel less stuffy, something we can all appreciate when we have the dreaded common cold!Even without a cold I find the scent really uplifting there’s something about its coolness that puts a spring in my step.

Using the Clear the Air Lush Melt in a bath:

When I use Lush Melts in the bath, I normally start with adding just one cube, if I feel I need more I will add another, after all, it’s a lot easier to add more product than it is to take some out when you feel you’ve used too much… With Clear the Air one cube was however the perfect amount.

Again, melting times will vary depending on how hot you have your bath water. Clear the Air melted very quickly for me and turned the bath water a milky white colour.

After about a 10-minute soak in waters with one cube melted into it, it left my skin feeling cooler, refreshed and incredibly soft. I have even used a half-melted cube of Clear the Air like a shaving butter on my legs.

With the way it cools your skin down I can see myself using it a lot in the warmer Summer months too.

Overall, I am really impressed with the Clear the Air Lush Melt as both a wax melt and bath melt, I love that it is (at the time of writing this review) an all-year-round product as like I said, it helps with colds in the Winter and cooling you down in the Summer!

Snuggles Shower Gel from Lush

The Snuggles Shower Gel started off its Lush life as a product from the 2024 Mother’s Day line and upon its release will be available in 3 different sized bottles, 115g, 275g and 550g.

I was lucky enough to get to try the Snuggles shower gel before its initial release as Lush gifted me a bottle, it’s set to be available in all UK stores from the 1st of February.

The Snuggles shower gel is described as a comforting, buttery cuddle. If you’ve used the Butterball bath bomb, you’ll recognise its scent straight away.

Snuggles isn’t the first Butterball scented shower gel to be released, the original was called Butterball shower gel. It was popular but incredibly thick making it hard to get out of the bottle.

Snuggles shower gel has the same great scent as the Butterball shower gel but has a brand new ‘cocoa butter suspension formulation’. The formula is a lot thinner; it could easily be a body milk.

Snuggles shower gel contains fine sea salt, fair trade organic cocoa butter and Ghanaian ylang ylang oil. It is sweet but not in an unpleasant way, it reminds me of vanilla ice cream but also has elements of chocolate to its scent too.

A very small amount of Snuggles goes a long way, I have even tried it without wetting my hands first just to get a feel of its true consistency; There has never been a creamier shower gel from Lush, without water it was like I was lathering up a heavy duty moisturiser.

Just a splash of warm water helps to really lather the Snuggles shower gel up, it glides over your skin leaving it clean, hydrated and so very soft.

I could see the Snuggles shower gel being perfect for anyone with sensitive skin but always recommend a patch test before use.

Its scent really shines through when combined with the hot water and steam from your shower and it feels incredible lathered up on your skin.

There is no need at all to moisturise after using this shower gel, making it not only an amazing smelling shower gel but also a product that saves you much needed time as well.

I can still smell the Butterball scent on my skin long after getting out of the shower, my skin feels soft and appears perfectly hydrated well into the next day too.

If you are looking for a creamier shower gel that not only cleans but hydrates and soothes skin too, look no further.

Overall, I am very impressed with the Snuggles shower gel and plan on grabbing a few more bottles before Mother’s Day is through. Lush would be mad to not make this shower gel a main line product. I have my fingers crossed that they do as it’s wonderful!

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.
