5 Reasons Why I Love Lush Snow Fairy

November 21, 2009 by Star Stevenson

I haven’t come across anyone who doesn’t like or better yet love, adore and live for Lush products. I’ve recently discovered their best selling, cult favourite Snow Fairy which is only available now during the holiday season and I’m utterly and unequivocally hooked!

Here are my top 5 reasons why I love the Lush Snow Fairy line and why you should love it too!

1. It smells delicious! If you’re the kind of girl who loves sweet yet not obnoxious scents, Lush Snow Fairy is for you! It smells like fruity candy (almost a hint of banana or maybe sherbet??) mixed with a little bit of vanilla – mmm!

2. It’s pink! I prefer the colour pink in small doses but I can’t help but smile at the hot pink colour of this product. It’s the perfect colour match for the sweet scent.

3. It sparkles! I love the pretty iridescent pink sparkles in the shower gel. It’s just that little touch of fun that makes it special.

4. It uses 100% non-animal tested ingredients! As with most Lush products, this one is cruelty free and organic.

5. A little goes a long way! What I love most is you don’t need a lot of the product to get a good lather. Just squeeze a small amount onto a damped shower mesh pouf and you’re good to go!

My only problem with Lush Snow Fairy is it’s a seasonal product. If you fall in love with this scent, it’s best to stock up on it because they will sell out before the season is over! Head over to the Lush website to try it out for yourself! :)
