If you’re a fan of the Snow Fairy range from high street retailer LUSH, then you will be very familiar with how that range smells. You will also have a pretty good idea how much these products cost and because they’re seasonal, you can’t purchase them throughout the year. So what’s currently on the market that can give you that fragrance hit without it hitting your pocket? How about Treacle Moon’s Frosted Candy Angel Shower & Bath Gel? I bought this from Boots for £1.99 for a 500ml bottle.
Why did I buy this?
I love the brand Treacle Moon. I’ve used their shower & bath gels, hand creams and body scrubs and enjoyed each product. So when I read online that Frosted Candy Angel was a dupe for Snow Fairy I thought it would be pretty silly NOT to see if this was similar in fragrance considering how much it costs.
Packaging
500ml of Treacle Moon’s Frosted Candy Angel Shower & Bath Gel comes in a clear, plastic bottle with a flip top lid. Super cute labelling depicting the shapes of snow angels which gives it a slightly Wintery seasonal look. Quite attractive in look and doesn’t look like it’s sub £2.00 in price.
Fragrance
Think of pear drops the sweets. The sugary, fruit scent of these sweets mixed in with a slight candy floss type of scent and this is what this shower & bath gel product smells like. Love the scent personally and doesn’t overdo the sweetness in my opinion, it’s just right.
Does this smell like Snow Fairy?
It actually does! I can say this confidently because I have Snow Fairy Bubble Blowing Wand in my collection so I can literally compare the two. Not identical because I think Treacle Moon’s Frosted Candy Angel is a little more heavier on the pear drop scent AND I actually prefer how this smells to the Snow Fairy bath product!
Consistency & Look
This is quite liquid but with a decent thickness to it. Easy to pour, very similar in consistency to similar products on the market and pink in colour.
In the bath
Even though this is a shower and bath gel I used this in the bath. I didn’t need to use much because under warm running water this created lots of frothy, soft bubbles. I didn’t notice the water changing colour so if it did it was barely noticeable. But it would be hard to spot anyway under the mass of white foam sitting on the top.
Fragrance was their immediately. As always, I can take a power house when it comes to scent. The strength of this could’ve been a touch stronger but was absolutely fine for what it was. It was there, it was comforting and it was enjoyable.
This created a very relaxing bath which I was happy to experience. It didn’t dry out my skin at all. But what I did notice was an area of irritated skin on my body that didn’t like this. Thanks to the heat, a small patch of my skin is sore and wasn’t too fond of being bathed in this. No fault of the shower gel, blame 30 degree heat! I know my skin and fragrance sometimes needs to be avoided if my skin hates me and I give it some fragrance free time or very little fragrance in my body care routine.
Recommended?
If you love your shower and bath products to be sweet in scent, then you will really like this. It smells so good, great size and performs well in the bath and will make your bathing experience a nice one. But if you are a Snow Fairy fragrance fan then this is a MUST! At a fraction of the price you can bathe till you run out of water and save yourself money too in the process. But if your skin is feeling sensitive, maybe put this purchase on hold or try with caution. If not, head towards Boots, ASDA, Tesco, Waitrose or even direct with Treacle Moon themselves to pick up this bath time treat!
