I really like this as it really is a nice product apart from the little chunks it has in it which can sometimes look like dead skin on the lips, apart from that it's really nice as a lip balm not as such a stain. It can be a little tricky to get out of the pan and to actually open it but the good outweighs the bad because it tastes really nice and it smell just like the soap and shower gel.

CONS:
- The packaging is hard to open
- The product is a dry clay like texture and very hard to warm up to actually apply the lips. By the time you actually get enough on your finger good luck actually getting it to apply on your lips. Then your fingers have pink dye all over them and its splotched all over your lips. This is just ugly.

Worst LUSH product EVER.

Snow Fairy smells like bubblegum, and adds a subtle and natural yet very pink tint to the lips.
I recommend applying after the lips are exfoliated, since it tends to highlight dry flakes on the lips. Because of this I don't wear it alone, but always under a layer of lip gloss. Even though this lip tint doesn't add much moisture or shine, I feel good about wearing it rather than a chemical-based lip gloss.
What I dislike is that it's necessary to use a lip brush to apply, and with long nails it is impossible to swipe your finger in it without getting lip tint under the nails. I also thought it would be a vivid, hot pink, as it appears in the tin, but it is actually a sheer color that isn't buildable or intensely pigmented, in comparison to the other Lush lip tints.

A lovely bright bubblegum pink tint that smells like raspberry sherbet.
Not moisturising at all but it is stated as a lip TINT not a lip balm.
Delicious scent, could easily eat it out of the little tin.
Seeing as this is a tint it will last longer than a lip balm for me.

The only issue I have with this is that it tends to ball up with any dry skin on the lips.

You gotta love this. Bubblegum pink lips that smell like bubblegum. It's a win-win. This doesn't moisturize for s#$% but the color is oh-so-cute and it smells delicious.

I bought this during the after-Christmas sale and it was 2 for the price of 1, so I got 2. It is kind of expensive if you buy it full price, but during the sale I think the price was reasonable. It smells really really really good! It adds a small tint of colour on your lips which is really pretty. It tastes really good too :P. I think that the packaging is super cute, but it can get kind of messy sometimes. It doesn't really moisturize my lips which I find kind of annoying. It doesn't dry them out, but it doesn't moisturize them. Overall, I recommend this product because I really like it.

I got this half price in the post-Christmas sale, so I think for what I paid for (around £2.50), this was very good value for money. Had I paid full price, I would probably think differently.

I'm surprised I like this really, I honestly thought I wouldn't. I have a very strong sense of smell and I didn't find the lip tint headache-inducing like some other reviewers, which is unusual as I am prone to migraines. I think maybe I just got a milder batch or I use a lot less of it than most people.

I have this and the neutral-toned "Latte" liptint, both which I like equally for different reasons: the "Snow Fairy" adds a wash of femininity which is very buildable and incredibly flattering (plus my partner loves the taste and scent of it) whereas the Latte is highly pigmented and is very demure but equally flattering. Over all, I very slightly prefer this one as it'll be the one I would use most often, especially around my partner.

One thing I have to add though, which I have found with both of these tints: scrub and moisturise your lips beforehand. They are fairly moisturising anyway (the Snow Fairy lasted me 6 hours before I felt the "waxy" effect) but honestly they require extra moisture if you have especially dry lips like me. I currently use Lily Lolo's lipgloss as my day-to-day balm, but I'm quite interested in Honeytrap!

I initially bought this because I knew it would have a light tint and I adored the scent! This is pretty much the only coloured/tinted product I even use on my lips! It really compliments my skintone. I find it to be moisturizing but not sticky in the slightest. It seems to be the only thing besides Burt's Bees that I don't wipe off less than ten minutes after applying. With this lip tint, even after its no longer moist to the touch, the colour remains! Love this stuff! My only complaint is the packaging! I wish it came in a stick.

I don't know if it's just me, but this dried my lips out SO badly.
I've used it several times all with the same results.
Colour is lovely, and the smell is amazing. I am a HUGE snow fairy fan and it is nice to be able to wear the scent around.
I just wish I understand what is in it that is making my lips so irritated.
I so wanted to love this!!

I bought the Japanese version of the Snow Fairy Liptint when it came out in October when I was in Japan for a working trip. The Japanese version is actually better as it is packaged in a better tin, and the texture is more silky as compared to the UK version which is a tad too waxy and dry :( The smell is nice at first but after a while, I find it gives me a slight headache as commented by another reviewer.

Not much tint to this, just a slight pink. The smell is kind of different, but I like it. Feels moisturizing, without feeling greasy or sticky at all. I think the packaging is cute.

I like this lip tint, just the smell is kind of strong. Anyway it is very popular lip tint and the color is amazing. I am not so sure if I will re buy it again, I will get it in a gift set perhaps.

I love the Snow Fairy sent, no doubt about it. I love it. LOVE it. This product just didn't cut it. Luckily I didn't pay for it and got it free in one of the Christmas gift-boxes. The smell of this is fine at first, but after a while, it's nauseating; especially when it's on your lips, so close to your nose.

The actual product is a bit difficult. The product is so hard, the tin makes horrible packaging and I find it incredibly drying. I only ever use a tiny bit of this to add more pigmentation to a colourless lip balm.

I really like the colour this gives your lips, but I really don't like the texture. I found it was a bit too thick, and doesn't moisturize that well. I like how it gives my lips a really pretty pink tint, but that's pretty much all it does for me. Also I find I really have to warm it up by kind of swirling my fingers around in the little tin before I can really get any colour out, which is annoying. I usually will use another lip balm or gloss over the top, and I really like that look. Overall, this product is okay, definitely not the best lip tint out there. Also I find the smell a bit strong :/

The smell would be nice if it were toned down, it makes me feel quite ill if I wear it or smell it after I've just eaten a big meal!

The tint itself provides a lovely gentle pink wash of colour which is pretty universally flattering!

I adore this tint. I got it for christmas, and I've been using it every day since. The color is perfect; it feels great and lasts. BUT, there's something about the scent that annoys me. It's like cheap bubble gum (you know what I mean: looses the flavor and chewiness within 3 minutes of chewing) and raspberries. It's not awful, but sometimes it's overly cloying. I still use snow fairy all of the time. I can't waiting until next holiday to get more!

i was attracted to this product intially by the smell! i'm one of those girls who loves all things sweet & smelling like candy!

the texture is ok, i have dry lips so i apply lipblam first & then put this on, being a blam it's not sticky in any way. don't think it's moistering though but it's a tint & not a balm so i guess that's ok.

colour is lovely - gives a really flushed pink wash to my lips, doesn't look like the picture posted here for me though, it's not really that bright on me; rather more rosey coloured.

packaging - dislike dipping my fingers in the tin, so is the only downfall. that & it doesn't contain any spf but my lip balm i wear underneath does.

got it on sale for half price during the post xmas specials, i think it's been discontinued & replaced by a more redish type of tint as i didn't see it in the catelogue anymore, but will check out the new colour tint as i do enjoy sweet smelling things =)

I absolutely love the smell of Snow Fairy, but the lip tint left a lot to be desired.
In the tin, which is hard to open and messy, it smells quite nice, but when it's on my lips it doesn't hold the same scent. I am also not a fan of the texture and the way it makes my lips feel. It's not horrible, but it's not amazing either.
I wanted soo much to like it more than I do.

I love a lip and cheek tint and love Lush products, so I decided to give this a go, despite not initially liking the scent. I'm not really a fan of bubblegum scented anything!
The scent is quite strong in the tin, I don't think it lasts all that long though once it's applied. You do get a very faint whiff of it when it's on your lips though!

I'm quite impressed with this tint. The colour is lovely, the perfect sheer pink colour for that flushed look. Normally, pinks and reds on my lips don't look good in my opinion, but this colour is fantastic, very natural looking.
Anyone looking for a lip/cheek tint that is natural and is a good price, try this tint!

As far as staying power, I don't think it lasts all that long, especially on the lips. On the cheeks it lasts a bit longer, however I have oily skin, so I would assume the colour would last longer on drier skin.

The price isn't too bad for something that I believe will last a long time. In Australia it retails for $9.95, which is more than other countries, but I wouldn't hesitate to repurchase.

The packaging is cute, a nice little tin that's small enough to be taken anywhere easily, in your bag or your pocket. Though, as I keep this in my handbag, it tends to get a bit scruffed up and dinted. It doesn't affect the product of course, it just doesn't look as nice as when you first buy it!
