  • Is This A Snow Fairy Scented Air Freshener Spray?

    The fragrance Snow Fairy by LUSH, is such a popular scent. It’s been the centre of many duped products including Treacle Moon’s Frosted Candy Angel Shower and Bath Gel. What I haven’t found much of is this scent in home fragrance products on the high street. Surely it would make sense for your home to get the chance to smell like this and not just the body? So when I spotted Airpure’s Ice Queen Air Freshener Spray I had to see if it was similar in smell. So what is it like?

    Airpure’s Limited Edition Ice Queen Air Freshener Spray
    Packaging

    I quite like how Airpure package their air freshener sprays. This is quite short and chunky in regards to it’s canister. The spray function is a big trigger lever which makes using this very easy and simple. Most of this is coloured pink, which already is quite eye catching. Other than that it’s very practical but simple in design.

    Fragrance

    This smells pretty much like the packaging says it smells of, which is bubblegum, pear drops and candy floss. I would probably say the pear drop side is the thing that comes through more. But overall this just smells like a mix of sugary, fruity sweets without being sickly.

    Strength & longevity

    Spraying this, it comes out at as medium in strength. Anything stronger I think would be too heady. It lingers quite well and longevity is very similar to other brands of room sprays I’ve used before. It doesn’t last forever, but does provide a short term burst of fragrance. Great when used against smells you don’t want to smell, so overall a decent home fragrance product.

    Price

    £1.25 for 250ml from Home Bargains. Fair price, not expensive and considering this is a dupe, I actually think is good value. You can also buy this online direct from Airpure for £1.49.

    Does it smell like Snow Fairy?

    I think it does! It’s not identical but similar, as it has the key notes of Snow Fairy. If you love Snow Fairy as a scent, you will enjoy this!

    As a product it does what its supposed to do which is provide fragrance, and it does it well. The fact it smells similar to Snow Fairy means if you like that scent from LUSH or you like sweet scents, definitely worth a buy!

  • I Love Glow’s Cosy Blanket Room Spray!

    Room sprays are a form of home fragrance I’ve started to use more of over the last few years. They’ve never really interested me in the past, but I’ve found them to be a quick, easy way to dispense fragrance in a room if and when needed. A quick freshen up, deodorise bad smells and replace them with good. It’s taken me awhile to appreciate them but I do now. The current one I’m using in my home is Glow’s Cosy Blanket Room Spray from their December Subscription Box. So what is this room spray like?

    Packaging

    100ml of fragrance comes in a white, plastic trigger style dispensing bottle. It’s nothing flash, but the illustration on the label depicts the fragrance name perfectly. Practical packaging, compact and easy to use.

    Fragrance

    Cosy Blanket is a beautiful, comforting and slightly warming scent containing creamy vanilla, a little crisp citrus and amber. What this makes is a fragrance that is incredibly inviting, cosy, relaxing and although can be used during any season ideal for Autumn and Winter use.

    Strength & Longevity

    The strength of this room spray is medium to strong. It’s strong enough to be there but not harsh. There’s no mistaking when I spray this in any room because Cosy Blanket immediately delivers a hit of fragrance. Longevity is brilliant. I can spray this in various rooms and places and the scent remains for a good amount of time.

    Combatting odours

    This is a great room spray to help with smells in the home e.g cooking. Once sprayed, it really cuts down on smells you don’t want in a room with. It softens them and helps to replace it with this beautiful, almost perfume like scent. Does it take away the bad smells totally? Going off my own experience not fully, but it really does take pungent smells down a notch or two.

    Thinking of all the room sprays I’ve used in the past, Cosy Blanket has got to be one of my favourites. The smell is stunning! I could have this fragrance in anything and everything whether it’s for the home or body and bath, it’s so good! The fact it has vanilla in it, which is one of my favourite scents, is a winner. But it’s the quality of this product for me as well. It’s a beautiful scent, perfect strength, lasts well and makes bad smells better instantly. Why would I NOT love this? Absolutely recommended, and totally upset this isn’t currently available. But keep an eye on Glow’s website for it’s return, hopefully sooner rather than later!

  • Glow’s December Bath & Body Subscription Box

    This year hasn’t been a year of subscription boxes for me. Normally I’m a regular buyer of them but less so in 2024 (lets just say it’s been an expensive year!). But I have treated myself to bath, body and home fragrance business Glow’s November AND December Subscription Boxes. I bought November’s because it was Christmas inspired wax melts and December’s because it contained bath and body products, which I’ve been waiting for. So what did I get in December’s box of bath and body goodies?

    Jolly Holly Christmas Hand Wash

    A fun alternative to a liquid hand wash in the form of a foaming one. Use in the same was as the traditional version, its just a different consistency. Jolly Holly Christmas Hand Wash is a seasonally fragranced product, scented with red apple, pear rhubarb, nectarine, cinnamon, caramelised sugar and vanilla.

    Silver Sparkle Body Wash

    This body wash looks and sounds special. Firstly, it literally sparkles, thanks to it shimmering with fine silver glitter/pigment. Secondly, the fragrance sounds very earthy and almost aromatherapy based which is lavender, lime, rosemary and eucalyptus. And thirdly, this product is part of Glow’s Lotions and Potions sub range, which focuses on products being chemical free and more naturally based.

    Chocolate Orange Soap Sponge

    Soap sponges are an easy way to wash the body. Already impregnated with soap and fragrance, these are brilliant for everyday use and gifting. The one I received was Chocolate Orange, which is the perfect scent for Winter and Christmas, with its mouth watering chocolate and zesty orange notes.

    Spiced Cocoa Mint Gingerbread Sugar Scrub

    Containing moisturising sweet almond oil and glycerin, this sugar scrub will make a welcome addition to my bathing routine this winter. It looks so inviting with it’s rich, creamy, almost dessert like texture, speckled with fine exfoliating pieces. The fragrance of Spiced Cocoa Mint Gingerbread intrigues me because this is quite a combination of seasonal scents, but will they work together?

    Spiced Cocoa Mint Gingerbread Bubble Bar

    If you want to go a step further than a bath bomb, a bubble bar is the best product to try. Moisturising, slightly foaming, fragrant, these are one of my favourite bath products ever! And that’s why I was excited to see Spiced Mint Gingerbread Bubble Bar in this subscription box. This is a decent size and could easily provide 2 baths. Perfect partner to use alongside the scrub as they are in the same fragrance.

    Cosy Blanket Room Spray

    Room sprays are a form of home fragrance I’ve been using often over the last few months to provide a quick spritz of fragrance in rooms. Cosy Blanket Room Spray is a mix of vanilla, amber and citrus. So this should be a very comforting and warming fragrance.

    Extras

    Glow’s subscription boxes wouldn’t be a Glow subscription box without extras! The extras included in this months were a Christmas printed scarf, a brooch, a Christmas bell and individually wrapped chocolates and jelly beans.

    First impressions?

    This is a great mix of products for the bath, shower, body and even the home. Fragrances are very festive, all full sized products, products look really inviting in regards to textures and colours and the value of what I’ve received is exceptional! This subscription box cost £25.00 (including p&p) for 6 full sized products, which works out just over £4.00 each. All hand made and packaged with love and care.

    Subscription boxes are limited in availability and once gone are gone, but all the products I’ve mentioned ARE available on Glow’s website here. Literally a one stop shop for all your body, bath and home fragrance needs.
