Snow Fairy Shower Jelly from Lush

The Snow Fairy Shower Jelly is a brand-new, limited-edition, Christmas product that first became available in the UK at the end of September 2023. The Snow Fairy scent dominates the Lush Christmas line year in year out, but this is the first time Lush have released a shower jelly in its scent.

Bright pink in colour and designed in the shape of a fairy with long, centre-parted hair, wings, two beady eyes and a big star on her chest, I could see straight away that looks wise, the Snow Fairy shower jelly would be particularly appealing to younger Lush customers.

The Snow Fairy shower jelly has however gone down a treat amongst customers of all ages. It comes in just one size, they are 90g each so are sold in the smaller Lush pots. Although, some Lush stores have been lucky enough to be given a giant version of the Snow Fairy shower jelly to put on display on their shop floor.

The 90g version of the Snow Fairy shower jelly that is available to purchase fits perfectly in my hand making it very easy to use.

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

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.

I often find that Lush’s character shaped jellies like the Snow Fairy shower jelly aren’t always as sturdy and robust as the normal potted-shaped shower jellies. As I had predicted, the Snow Fairy shower jelly did begin to fall apart after just a few uses. However, I realised I’d rather use it and lose it than not use it at all.

There is no right or wrong way to use a shower jelly, I prefer to use mine in the same way as you would a bar of soap, whole. Some people however chop their shower jellies up using a few pieces at a time which is a good method if you’re sharing it with somebody else.

If you do keep your Snow Fairy shower jelly whole, as I mentioned above, the shower jelly is just the right size to fit snuggly in your hand. It is a lot easier to keep a hold of in the shower being this size too. Once you’ve used it simply rinse it off and then pop it back into the pot until you next want to use it.

The Snow Fairy shower jelly lathers up quickly and creates a thin but creamy foam. A little goes a long way and glides over your skin easily. Its bubble gum rich scent is strong. As soon as you take the pots lid off, you are hit with its sweet scent but in use is when its scent really comes to life. Mixed alongside the hot water and steam of the shower its scent takes over your bathroom.

After using the Snow Fairy shower jelly my skin feels clean and fresh, it also appears somewhat brighter. It isn’t hugely moisturising but doesn’t leave me desperate to slather myself with body lotion either. If you did however want to extend on its bubble gum scent, Lush do have a Snow Fairy body lotion.

Overall, I enjoyed using the Snow Fairy shower jelly, I won’t be buying another as there are so many other Snow Fairy products available too but I’m glad I got to try one pot.

Groovy Fairy Bath Bomb from Lush

The Snow Fairy scent dominates the Lush Christmas line and this year (2023) there are THREE Snow Fairy scented bath bombs available. Today I am reviewing the Groovy Fairy Bath Bomb which happens to be the cheapest of the three.

In true Snow-Fairy-fashion, the Groovy Fairy bath bomb is all one colour, a brilliantly bright pink! It has been designed in the shape of a cartoon fairy. The fairy has a star topped magic wand, little pointed feet, a bobbed style haircut and her fairy wings are decorated with little etched-in-stars.

Its look and name are clearly inspired by the Bang On The Door, Groovy Chick merchandise from the 90’s. Yes, I had a Groovy Chick bedroom growing up so recognised the resemblance straight away.

Weighing in at approximately 95g, Groovy Fairy is the same size as the Sleepy Bear bath bomb.

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

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.

As I said earlier, Groovy Fairy isn’t the only Snow Fairy scented bath bomb from this year’s Christmas line. There is also a new-look Snow Fairy bath bomb and if you’re looking to really splash out on a HUGE Snow-Fairy-scented bath bomb, there is also the Snow Fairy Lights bath bomb too.

As the Groovy Fairy bath bomb touches the water you are greeted with an explosion of hot pink foam. It isn’t a bath bomb that produces any colourful bath art patterns, its selling points are its sweet as candy scent as well as the pink colour it turns your bath water.

The bath water left behind is not only bright pink but is also laced with a light yet beautiful shimmer.

The Groovy Fairy bath bomb took less than 3 minutes to fully dissolve, and its scent is sweet and strong right up until the last drop of it goes down the plug hole.

I found the bath water left behind by the Groovy Fairy bath bomb to be incredibly refreshing on the skin. Its sweet, bubble gum-rich scent can still be detected on your skin long after getting out of the bath too. For some reason, I never find any of Lush’s Snow-Fairy-scented bath bombs to be particularly hydrating on the skin, but my skin wasn’t any dryer than normal after using the Groovy Fairy bath bomb.

Overall, I really enjoyed using the Groovy Fairy bath bomb, it’s a fantastic choice for anyone who is looking to experience the Snow Fairy scent at a lower price. It would also make the perfect Christmas gift for someone who you’d like to introduce to Lush Cosmetics or as a gift for an old school Lush fan too.
