It’s only
over the past year or so that I’ve gotten more into my bath products. One of
the best known and most popular is Lush, a company who prides themselves in
selling fresh, handmade cosmetics and bath products and I only tend to shop
here during the sales after Christmas. While their products are nice, I don’t
want to pay their full prices.
Last
Christmas my fiancé bought me the Snow Fairy lip tint after I had tried some of
my friend’s so this year, I went on a hunt for other Snow Fairy products. I
managed to get hold of a 100ml bottle which cost £1.75 although full price is
£3.50. Larger 200ml and 500ml bottles are also available before Christmas but
these had already sold out by Boxing Day. All Snow Fairy products are limited
edition and are only available around Christmas time.
== How Lush
describe it ==
Our winter
temptress shower hair and body gel that’s bursting with fruit fragrance and has
a sparkle of ice through it.
Now we must
confess, it’s a mystery to us why this one particular product should become our
No1 Christmas bestseller. It’s not your classic hippy dippy Lush herbal
offering. Instead it is an intensely sweet, fruity pink shower gel loved by
people everywhere.
== My
experience ==
I couldn’t
wait to try this out on Boxing Day night after braving the shops during the
day. The shower gel comes in the typical Lush shower gel bottle which is made
from plastic with a black flip top cap. On the bottle is a black label which
has on it the Lush logo, a ‘packed by’ sticker with a use by date along with
the name of the product and a description. Although the Lush packaging is
pretty much all the same in different colours, at least they match on my
bathroom shelf. A good thing about the Lush bottles is that you can take the
lids back to the shop to recycle.
The colour
of the shower gel is a bright pink which will appeal to girls of all ages but I
think this would be a lovely treat for younger girls. As soon as you open the
lid, the rich and sweet smell. Although this is supposed to smell like
candyfloss, I think it smells more like cheap cherryade which I love the smell
of. I haven’t had a Lush shower gel before this one but when I began to pour
the liquid out of the bottle, I was pleasantly surprised with how thick it was.
Unlike cheaper shower gels, this one has a lovely consistency which also means
you don’t need to use too much of it in one go.
As I began
to pour out the shower gel onto my fluff ball thingy, the sweet smell instantly
hit me again. Now, while I really love the scent of this shower gel, I think it
may be too sweet for some people. While this is in the bottle, it has tiny
flecks of glitter mixed in but once out of the bottle, it seems to disappear which
was a bit disappointing. You only need a small amount of Snow Fairy and it
lathers up really quickly. The shower gel feels very luxurious and thick on the
skin and feels wonderful to use in the shower. It feels extremely soft and
smooth on my skin and the scent fills the bathroom for ages.
My only
real big disappointment with this shower gel is that the scent doesn’t last very
long on the skin. I wish it lasted longer as I think this would make it better
value for money. I wouldn’t pay the full price of £3.50 for a 100ml bottle but
I will definitely be looking for it in the Christmas sales every year.
