I got a small bottle of Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel in a gift pack for Christmas and after reading so many good things about it, I really wanted to like this product.
Unfortunately, I found the smell of Snow Fairy Shower Gel to be sickly sweet and overpowering, especially in our enclosed shower (we have a shower dome, so the scent gets trapped in there with the steam and there's no airflow until you get out). The first time I'd used it, by the time I'd finished showering and climbed out, I felt like I'd showered with candyfloss and had seriously overdosed on sugar; the scent of this product left the same strange feeling in back of my mouth that I get when I eat too much of something sickly sweet and I couldn't wait to get out into some fresh air. Not a good first impression of a product!
It did leave the bathroom smelling nice, it lathers really well and the little bottle lasts a long time, as only a small amount is needed to get a rich lather.
I really wanted to like this Shower Gel, as I love the smell of Fairy Dust, but I just found Snow Fairy to be too overpoweringly strong. I don't know if the strength of the scent differs from batch to batch, but unfortunately, I won't be buying any more Snow Fairy Shower Gel.
I recieved this as a gift, and loved it. I was a bit spectical as it has a shimmer and I'm not so much into that. But didn't notice it on my skin. I loved that the smell lingered in my bathroom and made it smell like a candy store!!
