Tip Top Jelly Tip maybe?

I was gifted a box of Lush goodies recently and I decided to try out the Godmother soap first. I looked it up on the Lush website and was stoked to see that it smells like Snow Fairy. I've never tried Snow Fairy before because I'm not a fan of shower gels so to see that the scent was now available in soap form made my day.

To me it smells like that wonderful creamy pink cough mixture I used to take over 20 years ago (boy that sounds like a galaxy away). Even though it looks like Tip Top's Jelly Tip I'm pretty sure it doesn't taste as good but it smells like it would hehe.

I prefer to use this as a hand soap as opposed to the body because the scent lingers much longer on me that way. I'm trying hard to refrain from unnecessary face touching so as soon as I smell the lovely scent I know I'm in dangerous territory haha.

It is quite slippery in comparison to other soaps but since I'm only using it as hand soap it's not a big deal. I don't notice any difference in the softness or smoothness in my hands other than it smells good and feels clean.

I received a bar the size of the rectangular Lush soap tin and with everyday use it'll probably last me 2-3 weeks (assuming I don't get carried away with lathering my hands). I would buy this myself!

Tips: I keep my soap in a water draining soap dish. Would love to find the soap dish that has a small spout to drain the water into the sink!!

I stopped using liquid hand soap in favour of bar soap last year. I'm forever searching for the perfect soap dish!

My fairy Godmother!

I bought this because of the hype and because I am a lover of sweet smells. I am not a huge soap user and prefer gels or scrubs but I just had to have this very girly and gorgeous soap. It really is the Godmother of Lush soaps. It smells amazing of candy and all things sweet! It calls to every level of my girliness. I like how rustic it looks when you get it. It's in no particular shape just a slab off the block.

It proudly takes place in my shower soap dish and makes my shower look so pretty! I use this to soap up my legs to shave. I can't use chemicals to shave so this is perfect for that and leaves them smelling amazing. I can't use soap on my body because it tends to dry out but the fact that I can use it as a shaving lather is perfect!

The only complaint I have is that it melts way too quickly which means that I have to buy again too soon. But because I love it so much I am happy to do so. Even my son loves to use it as an all over body cleanser so it's a win, win situation.

Jelly Tip Soap

It smells like jelly tip, it lathers nice and leaves my skin feeling clean and sweet, but I only purchase it on their annual 50%off boxing day sale. it reminds me of jam, and it smells really sweet my nephew loves it, i wish they made candles scented like their soaps. This soap last me 20+ washes a little bit goes a long way as it lathers really well. I find it leaves my skin with a really clean feeling, the scent doesnt last long on me though. This is not the creamiest of soaps, as i think its geared towards being a hand soap but with this scent I use it all over the body, I think that is why it last ages because its not very creamy.

OMG YUM

I am a HUGE fan of all things Lush, so I was very excited to try out Godmother. Candy goodness just soaks into your body with this soap, it makes a good lather and I love having the pop of colour in the shower to make me smile. The scent isn't as strong as it's Snow Fairy shower gel counterpart, but then again that's not necessarily a bad thing if you don't want to be knocked over by the wave of cotton candy up your nose (though I have to say I love that wave right before bed).

Tips: It's a great gift for any candy lover

You can't go to the ball smelling like that!

Well, with this soap actually you can! This soap, which LUSH no longer make, shares it's scent with the ever popular shower gel Snow Fairy, Fairy Dust and the Bubblegum Lip Scrub!

I have two blocks of this soap, as I "stocked up" when I knew LUSH were canning it. I was surprised, it's such a popular smell at Christmas but I guess year round nobody really cares. Both of my blocks are a deep dark red but from my understanding that's just the outer layer, and it is actually supposed to ombre into a lighter more opaque pink towards the middle.

The smell is amazing. If you know what Snow Fairy smells like you'll know what I mean - if not... Imagine freshly spun fairy floss, mixed with a sweet pear hard candy. The pear is quite subtle, the sugary fairy floss being the dominant smell.

Like most LUSH soaps I'm disappointed in how this lathers, but the smell it leaves on my hands is delightful. And writing this review has reminded me that I need to put a new soap in the bathroom, so, I'm guessing this is my pick :D

Tips: If you are desperate to get your hands on some, keep an eye on the LUSH Kitchen - they make exclusive products, old and new, in small batches :-)

My fave lush soap

The godmother is the soap form of snow fairy. It smells amazing. Use it like you would any other soap and it will have your skin feeling soft and smelling great. At lush you can choose the size of soap you want which is cool. At $6.90 per 100 grams it is quite expensive but it is worth it because the smell lasts all day

Tips: Put in your undie draw to make your undies smell great

Mixed emotions with The Godmother

First of all I LOVE , LOOOVE the scent ,it smells incredible, and a bar of this always manages to fall into my basket when Im at Lush but with saying that it feels like every time I take a bar home and place it into the shower, its like "POOF" the bar is gone. It disappears into fairy land and never returns.

This is the sister to Snow fairy but in a soap form. The scent of bubblegum kisses and candy floss is one you would never get sick of smelling, the sweet fragrance stays on your skin even after you exit the shower and makes a great perfume for your clothing. I have a bar of The godmother in among my scarves and hats that gives them a sweet delicious scent.

The dark pink soap creates a gentle delicious lather and it glides along your skin like butter, it melts just like butter too. After each use it needs to be kept in a dry place to prevent it from creating a slimy mess.

As much as I love this soap (scent most especially) I dont like how quickly it melts as soon as it touches the water. It would be something I would like Lush to change but it wont stop me from repurchasing. I do prefer its bigger sister because I get more use out of it.

Tips: Keep it in a dry place after each use. I like to keep a piece in with my scarves, it leaves a nice sweet scent.

Not as intense as snow fairy

I bought this soap last year in a two pack with rockstar. I'd never actually heard of this soap but when I found out it smelled like snow fairy, I couldn't wait to give it a try.

This is a pretty light pink colour and mine is just in a rectangular shape. I adore the bright, candy scent of snow fairy shower gel but this is a very mild version of that scent to me. With most lush soaps that I've tried so far, when they sit in my bathroom, even without being used, the bathroom smells so good. I don't notice that at all with this. I don't even really get much fragrance on my hands straight after I've used it!

It does lather well, and it also does leave my hands clean without over drying them. I know that because this is a lush soap, that it will be full of good ingredients but this isn't something I would buy again. Actually, I don't think I could even if I wanted to as lush is discontinuing this one.

Bad reaction on hands, hate the smell

I have very sensitive skin, but normally my hands can handle almost anything. Apparently they couldn't handle this soap. I ended up with eczema reactions on my hands when I used it which I've never had before. So I gave it to my partner. Then I had to get him to wash his hands with another soap after using it because I was getting red reactions where he was touching my skin after using. Also I hate the smell - it makes me feel vaguely headachey. From the looks of the other reviews many people love this soap, but for me it was just awful.
