Snow Fairy Sparkle Jar is a Practical Product from LUSH and is included in the Christmas Review.
The sparkle jar I bought online is one of the new products in the Christmas collection.I punched a hole through it while taking photos because I thought it was a massage bar.
This sparkle jar is hollow and delicate.The bottom of this product is very thin and easy to break, so be very gentle with it.
One of my favorite holiday fragrances is Snow Fairy, and this sparkle jar is scented with it.If you have ever smelled something scented with Snow Fairy, you will either love or hate it.It smells like Maynards Swedish Berries candy, with a touch of caramel, and a small hint of an aroma similar to must.This scent is my favorite in the world and people go crazy over it.
You can only get the Snow Fairy scented products until the end of the holiday season.
The sparkle box is an example of minimal packaging used by Lush.Primarily, this product is glittery powder for dusting arms and shoulders, and once you have used up the dusting powder, the star-shaped packaging becomes a glittery massage bar.
The Snow Fairy Sparkle Jar can be found in American, Canadian, and UK stores.
The product is supposed to be used as a dusting of iridescent, powdery glitter.There are two small holes on the top of the product which you can punch out with a pencil or toothpick.You can use the star-shaped box as a massage bar once you use up the powder.
I bought this because I wanted to use it as a massage bar, so I recommend either leaving the holes closed or keeping the product in a small bowl.The sparkle box is most likely to break after a few uses.
This sparkle jar is very glittery and messy.Because of all the shimmer, this product is better used for adding a bit of sheen to your arms and shoulders rather than using it as a traditional massage bar.The more you use, the more glitter you can feel, as the cocoa butter mixture is loaded with glitter.
Fair Trade Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Corn Starch (Zea mays),Calcium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Carbonate, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Musk (Ethylene Brassylate), Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Iron.
Most of their products are not fully organic, but they use some fair-trade and organic ingredients.I think they should have more fully organic or fair-trade products, but with their hand-made approach to production the prices might get too high.
If you love the Snow Fairy scent and like shimmery products, this would be a nice way to treat yourself, for ten bucks.If you buy this only to use it as dusting powder, you may be a little disappointed.When you order the sparkle jar online it comes in a cello bag with extra powder, so my guess is that you get even less shimmer powder if you purchase this in-store.
Since this is a cocoa butter-based product, it is very greasy, but you can have some control over it by applying just a small amount on warm arms.
If you don't use a lot of the product will soak into the skin.I find myself having too much fun and being so enamored with watching it melt that I often apply too little, which will leave you sticky and oily.
My sparkle box is in 4 pieces, so be prepared for it to turn into shards.I love the Snow Fairy scent, cocoa butter, and the sparkles in this product, so I don't care.I bought this to use as a massage bar.Depending on how much you use, you may feel a bit of subtle scratching from all the fine glitter.I am using this product as a sort of solid perfume now that I know what it is.
This scent is not for everyone.It is a strong smell.It is surprising that I have never had a problem with Snow Fairy because it is a robust, persistent smell.The components of the scent are unknown since they don't list all the ingredients.
This is intriguing to me.The description reminds me of a body powder I once tried.
