Sorry I haven't been on in ages....... but I have some more reviews!
Snow Fairy (shower gel)
£3.25/100g
£5.95/250g
£9.95/500g http://www.lush.co.uk/products/shower/shower-gel/snow-fairy_240.html
I am so sad that this is a christmas limited edition!
Last year I never really took any notice of it.... and then throughout the year I read rave reviews on it, so I was so excited when I got my first bottle this year.
I got the 250g bottle as I wasn't sure if i'd like it or not......
But how could you not like Snow Fairy?
Let's start with the smell:
It smells like sweets; bubblegum and candy-floss but a hint of fruitiness behind it- it's such an amazing smell.....you won't want to stop washing yourself with it just so you can keep smelling yourself :)
It lathers up really nicely....it's got quite a creamy lather which I like, but it is not drying at all, which I was afraid it would be as it's not as natural as other Lush products. But it didn't dry my skin out or make it itch at all. In fact.....it did the opposite! After using it a few times, I noticed that the eczema in between my fingers had totally gone. I thought that was weird, so I stopped using snow fairy to see if it was that- and the eczema came back. Now i'm using it again, and there is no eczema. How odd?!?
Oh and you can also use it as a soap for your hands........which I like to do because other Lush soaps dry my sin out. So it's multi functional.
Overall I think it's quite good value for money....you don't need that much to work up a good lather.
Rating: 4 (and a half)/5 .....only knocking half a star off because the smell doesn't stay on your skin that well. But other than that I love this.
So if you want to get this.....hurry up before it's too late because it'll be gone before you know it!
Butterball (bath bomb)
£2.25/95g
What can I say about this bath bomb? Well......I can honestly say that this is the best thing my skin has ever seen.
I tried this first last christmas when it was in the form of 'Mr Butterball' (a snowman shape) but year round it is a normal bath ballistic shape.
Where shall I start?
Okay, from the minute you take it out the bag and put it in the water, the sweetest, musky, powdery beautiful smell evaporates through the room.
And then you put your hands in the water and feel the silkiest, most beautiful smooth water and it sends you into a dreamland. Honestly, no joke, it actually feels like silk. Period.
I'm really not joking.
I was apprehensive at first to try this as I thought it would irritate my annoyingly sensitive skin, but it didn't at all. If you have even the slightest dry skin, you should definitely try this. It will do you wonders.
And then when you get out of the bath and dry yourself, your skin is still soft. Not many bath bombs do that.
And then throughout the night you'll notice that you STILL smell like butterball! And even the next morning, the smell will still be there.
Oh and also........ that's all just from half a bomb! You only need half of it to give you that amazing skin- so if you think £2.25 is expensive for one bath, it's really only £1.12 (and a half pence- haha)...so in all that's really not bad value for money.
Overall, through all the products i've tried, this is a favourite of mine......no actually it is my favourite!
Rating: 5/5!!!!!! I can't fault this :)
