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.

NEW Snow Fairy Bath Bomb from Lush

The Snow Fairy Bath Bomb is back again, it has however had a makeover. The old, half pink, half white version with the blue and white snowflakes on has long gone, it has been replaced with a bright pink bath bomb with crisp-white swirls!

The Snow Fairy scent family dominates Lush’s Christmas line every Winter and this year is no exception. Do I prefer the older version of it? I wouldn’t go as far as to say that I miss it, I like the uncomplicatedness of the new look Snow Fairy bath bomb, it’s weird that something less intricate can be more desirable.

All of Lush’s products are handmade, there’s something about the new Snow Fairy bath bomb that looks more handmade than the older version. I find with all Lush products, the more handmade the product looks the more ‘Lush charm’ it has.

Weighing in at approximately 180g the new Snow Fairy bath bomb is a little bit smaller than the standard Lush bath bombs such as Intergalactic and Twilight which are 200g each, although you wouldn’t know it just by looking at it.

My first experience with the Snow Fairy scent was through the shower gel many years ago. The Snow Fairy scent is best described as a sweet blend of candy floss and bubble gum.

I don’t always favour the super-sweet-scented Lush products, HOWEVER, with the Snow Fairy scent featuring so heavily in so many of Lush’s best-selling products it’s impossible to avoid, especially in the Winter.

Over the years I have warmed to the scent somewhat. The fact that every Snow Fairy item is a bright and glorious hot pink (my favourite colour) really helps me warm to each product too! 😉

Funnily enough, the Snow Fairy bath bomb isn’t the only bath bomb from this Winters’ Christmas line that has the Snow Fairy scent, we have the Groovy Fairy bath bomb and Snow Fairy Lights bath bomb too.

As soon as the Snow Fairy bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of hot pink foam. It slowly bobs around your bath spitting out pink and white bubbles as it charges around, floating upon the surface of the water.

I am always honest in my reviews, and I must admit that I was expecting a lot more from the Snow Fairy bath bomb bath-art-wise. It had the potential with the white and pinks, but it just didn’t take off.

It’s not fantastic bath-art-wise but it does put on a beautiful show. As the bath bomb dissolves, the water slowly turns a bright and sparkly pink. Swirling the water around with my hand really showed off how sparkly it was.

The Snow Fairy bath bomb took well over 10 minutes to fully dissolve. Its scent is sweet and strong right up until the last drop of it goes down the plug hole.

I found the water that the Snow Fairy bath bomb left behind to be soft on the skin and incredibly refreshing. Its sweet, bubblegum-rich scent can still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath too. I wouldn’t say it was the most hydrating of bath bombs, BUT my skin wasn’t any dryer than normal after using it.

I did really enjoy the new design of the Snow Fairy bath bomb however I would have liked to have seen more bath art out of it, maybe I’m just being fussy though!

Snow Fairy Body Lotion from Lush

It’s hard to believe that it took Lush until 2022 to bring out the Snow Fairy Body Lotion. The scent seems to have been made into every other product format possible through the years.

The Snow Fairy scent is best described as a sickly-sweet blend of candy floss and bubblegum.

I don’t always favour the super-sweet-scented Lush products HOWEVER, with the Snow Fairy scent featuring so heavily in so many of Lush’s products, it’s almost impossible to avoid, especially in the Winter.

Over the years I have slowly warmed to the Snow Fairy scent. The fact that all-things Snow-Fairy-scented are almost always exclusively pink is what always sells it to me. I wasn’t going to buy a pot of the Snow Fairy body lotion but after Lush sent me out a sample of it, I couldn’t help myself.

The most frequent question I have been asked about the Snow Fairy body lotion is how it compares to the Snow Fairy body conditioner.

The body lotion is a much lighter formula than the body conditioner equivalent, it’s just as hydrating but soaks in a lot quicker. I find a small amount goes a very long way which is always a bonus with Lush products, especially with the recent price increases of almost everything in the world right now.

The Snow Fairy body lotion isn’t my favourite of all the body lotions I have tried from Lush. I think my favourite out of the Winter body lotions will always be the Celebrate, Once Upon A Time and Calacas body lotions but it was nice to try something new.

The Snow Fairy body lotions bright pink colour was what won me over when it came to which Christmas products I’d be buying this year. I’m a true princess that can never get enough of anything if it’s pink.

As I said earlier, the Snow Fairy body lotion is hydrating, it’s scent on your skin isn’t as sickly sweet as other Snow Fairy products are, which is a good thing in my eyes as, as I’ve said many times before (especially with the sweet scents) sometimes less is more.

Overall, I am so pleased that I ordered a Snow Fairy body lotion, I probably won’t be buying another pot but only because I prefer other, fruity-scented body lotions more. If you are Snow Fairy crazy, I highly recommend buying yourself a pot of it though!
