About the Muse

Isabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

Lush Snow Fairy is really Snow Fairying for Holiday 2024! There’s not only a new Lush Snow Fairy Shampoo but Snow Fairy Dusting Powder, Snow Fairy Soup, Snow Fairy Body Lotion, Snow Fairy Body Scrub, Snow Fairy Milkshake Shower Gel, and so many other Snow Fairy products my head is about to explode. I hate to admit this but I probably purchased my first Snow Fairy product 20 plus years ago when Lush was still doing mail order from their little newspaper catalogs. I’ve been a fan ever after. It’s one of the sweetest, pinkiest, and prettiest scents out there. It smells like pink bubblegum, sweet candy, with some fruity element. It’s a gourmand lovers dream.

This year Lush is pushing it hard and they pretty much scented everything and anything with Snow Fairy. Some may say they are going a little too crazy with this collection as they have a variety of Snow Fairy formulas now that include glitter, glitter-free, and different shades. I do LOVE they released a glitter and glitter-free shower gel formula. I’m not a big fan of the glitter one and I love they brought back the glitter-free formula. It’s nice having both options available! Another interesting item that caught my eye and of course, like the sucker I am, purchase is Lush Snow Fairy Shampoo.

Here’s what this makes me a sucker.

If you’re a real long time Lushie you remember when Lush in fact promoted Snow Fairy as shampoo. And I may be completely wrong but I think it was mentioned in the label somewhere where it said Snow Fairy Shower Gel and Shampoo! I DO know for a fact it was mentioned in the directions where they said use it on your body or your hair. Which, of course, I tried but never ever did again because it legit made my hair dry as straw.

I’m a total sucker though so when I saw they launched an ACTUAL Snow Fairy Shampoo I was like ok, I gotta try that. I should have broken down the ingredients first but the heart wants what the heart wants. Let’s take a look!

Lush Snow Fairy Shampoo Ingredients:
Marshmallow Root Mucilage, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Fresh Beetroot Juice, Cocamide MEA, Fragrance, Propylene Glycol, Fresh Strawberry Juice, Fresh Lemon Juice, Glycol Stearate, Carrageenan Extract, Persian Lime Oil, Camellia Oil, Water, Citric Acid, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Musk, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, *Limonene, Red 33, Red 28 Lake, Iron Oxides, Methylparaben, Propylparaben

Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel Ingredients:
Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerine, Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Lauryl Betaine, Fragrance, Persian Lime Oil, Titanium Dioxide, Synthetic Musk, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, *Limonene, Red 33, Red 28, Red 21 Lake

Ok, the ingredients are different that’s good news but I dunno if this is going to make much difference in how it treats my hair. Let’s HOPE things go well and I don’t end up with a head of hay after using this stuff. What would really impress me is if they did a conditioner too! But hey, I’ll take what I can get because you know this stuff is going to linger on and on and on in my hair as Lush haircare is crazy strong and I love the idea of going around with Snow Fairy scented hair!

What’s your hot take on the new Lush Snow Fairy Collection for Holiday 2024? Are you happy about all the endless Snow Fairy scented options or can you do without it?

Yes, you read that right! Now you can have pumpkin spice scented dishes! Dawn has released a Pumpkin Spice scented Powerwash Dish Spray and it’s available for a limited time this Fall! Do we all need to run out and buy a case of Dawn Pumpkin Spice Power Wash Dish Spray? Probably! Especially if we’re basic!

Head on over to the evil empire aka Walmart and you can snag this festively scented Fall dish soap for under six bucks! I’m a fan of Powerwash anyway and this just makes things extra fun. Powerwash is one of those things that actually makes clean up fun. Yeah, well, call me crazy but I find cleaning the house, the dishes, doing laundry, etc…a rather soothing and comforting task! And yeah, I’m sort of an age where new cleaning supplies get me as excited as new makeup. I dunno what that says about my age or my personality but hey, here we are getting excited about Pumpkin Spice dish soap.

It feels like we can finally say that we’ve seen it all scented like Pumpkin Spice now. We’ve had the coffees, the muffins, the breads, the perfumes, the bath products, the home fragrance, and now, finally, we’ve reached a new level of pumpkin spiciness in the form of dish soap.

How’s it smell? Like pumpkin and spice! I mean, I can’t complain about that but next year if they wanna through a little latte note into the mix I wouldn’t complain about it! But it smells warm, comforting, it smells like Fall and I love that. It’s just a novel way to clean up during these beautiful days of autumn!

And hey, just think of what a conversation starter Dawn Pumpkin Spice Powerwash will be after Thanksgiving dinner! Snag yours before it disappears.

Dawn Pumpkin Spice Powerwash is available now at Walmart!

Old Spice is getting into the Holiday spirit with Holiday 2024 fragrances called SnickerDudel and LumberSnack that will be available for a limited time this season! As you may know the Dove+ Men Care Collection launched three, limited-edition Fall deodorants called Mint Chocolate Martini, Hot Toddy, and Apple Cider & Bourbon. I guess Old Spice realized there was potential and room for some Holiday gourmands for their male demographic and decided to venture into releasing some Holiday fragrances! The genius is this launch is what women are going to want to pick these up for themselves! Sure, we have our own little Dove Holiday Treats Collection but gourmand lovers don’t discrimnate when it comes to smelling delicious!

Old Spice Lumbersnack ($6.97) is a fresh pine fragrance that’s available as a body wash or buy it in a Old Spice Holidudes Limited Edition Gift Set ($10) that comes with a full-size Lumbersnack Body Wash and matching Lumbersnack Deodorant!

Their second limited-edition scent is Old Spice Snickerdudel Sugar Cookie which is also, available in a Body Wash ($6.97) or in the Old Spice Snickerdudel Holidudes Limited Edition Gift Set ($10) which contains Snickerdudel Body Wash and Snickerdudel Deodorant!

Old Spice Lumbersnack and Old Spice SnickerDudel are available now at Walmart! Have you smelled them?

Yes, it’s true there’s a Beloved Wicked Collection that includes fragrances inspired by the beloved book, Broadway show, and upcoming movie starring Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda! Wicked is getting a big push in the beauty world with many collaboration available now from REM Beauty, Beekman 1802, It Cosmetics, Caboodles, OPI, and many, many more but Beloved was not on my Wicked Bingo Card and I’m here for it. The Beloved Wicked Collection will be arriving at Target and target.com on October 27th!

There are two collections each representing our two heroines Elphaba and Glinda. The collections will include a Body Mist, Hand Lotion, Body Wash, and and Candle.

Beloved Wicked Defy Gravity Collection is inspired by Elphaba and has fresh notes of water blossom with a juicy twist of melon and crisp cucumber. The Beloved Wicked So Popular! Collection is inspired by Glinda and has notes of roses with a surprising twist of juicy red berries and feminine notes of white musk.

The Beloved Wicked Collection will set you back $4.99 to $9.99 making it a cute budget pick if you want some early Christmas stocking stuffers for the Wicked fan girls or guys in your life! Let’s just hope it doesn’t sell out super fast as I notice collections like this tend to just disappear off shelves before you can blink! The Dove Holiday Treats Collection really flew off shelves. It’s odd how quickly smaller, drugstore releases just disappear so fast. I really think its due to resellers who sell them for much, much more on Mercari which is sad for fans like us that just want one of the item!
