Shoppers are raving about a £6 Asda candle that is a dupe for Lush’s £36 Snow Fairy option & it’s perfect for the winter
CHRISTMAS is just around the corner, and for many Lush fans it hails the return of the cult-favourite Snow Fairy range.
But if you want to save some pennies, you may wish to pop to Asda which is selling a “dupe” of their candle, according to multiple shoppers.
A bargain hunter took to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK to rave about the supermarket’s Wax Lyrical Medium Jar Sparkling Sands Candle.
They shared a photo of their purse-friendly find and said: “Smells exactly like Snow Fairy.”
The best part is that it is currently on offer at £6, compared to Lush’s £36 Snow Fairy four-wick candle.
The shopper wasn’t the only person to make the comparison.

Another person added: “I smelt this last night and said the same to my daughter that it smelt like snow fairy.”
And an Asda shopper gave it a five-star review saying: “Smells just like snow fairy.”
The description of the Asda dupe reads: “A sparkling blend of peach, pear and red berrries nesting on a base of soft vanilla and white musk with hints of a beach holiday.”
Snow Fairy cult favourite
Snow Fairy first launched in 2013 and developed a fan base who love its sweet-smelling notes of vanilla and cotton candy.
In 2020, Lush sold half a million bottles of their best selling Snow Fairy shower gel over the Christmas period.
Lush also sells Snow Fairy body spray and body conditioner.
They celebrated the return of the Snow Fairy scent products in September, writing on Instagram: “The Snow Fairy is here, to sprinkle kindness, courage, and confidence.
“A sweet scent sparks a journey through a snow-laden forest to the enchanted world of the Snow Fairy.”
Lush new range
We shared how Lush's brand new spooky range has knocked it out of the park this year.
This included festive treats like the new glow-in-the-dark products, the Pumpkin Crumble Bubble Bar, and the Magic Potion bath bomb.
There is als intoxicating Pumpkin Pie soap and the delicious Batcurrent lip scrub, which were included in Lush's brand-new Halloween countdown calendar.
Are Lush bath bombs worth the mess?
Lush superfan, beauty blogger, and freelance digital writer Beth Mahoney revealed her thoughts on the lavender Lush bath bomb. She explained:
"There’s no arguing with how fresh the Lush products are, and how many natural ingredients, like swathes of dried lavender, are packed into their products.
"It’s also important to understand that the Lush bath bomb range is designed to create an immersive bath time experience.
"Instead of being just another basic bath fizzer, the Lush bath bombs are made with quirky, unique and unexpected features, from dissolvable eco-friendly glitter and wheels that actually roll to hidden centres and lashings of dried flowers.
"I’ve tried out a lot of Lush bath bombs and the Lavender Deep Sleep bath bomb is one of my absolute favourites. Yes, it makes a little bit of a mess when it spurts lavender throughout your bathtub, but it smells totally divine and leaves you feeling relaxed and calm.
"For removing bath bomb remnants from my bathtub I either wash them down the drain - after all, everything used in these products is drain-friendly - or allow larger items (like petals) to be caught in my drain catcher, ready to be disposed of.
"If you’re not a fan of the mess that bath bombs can sometimes create, a really great hack for preventing bath bombs that expel ingredients into the bathtub from making a mess or clogging the drain is to pop them in a mess bag before dropping them in the water."
These limited-edition products from Lush are a must-have for Halloween fans who love an eerie twist.
Both of these items have fresh lemon, bergamot and lemongrass which creates a fresh, irresistible zesty fragrance.

But not only do they smell amazing, but they each have luminescent zinc sulfide in them, which is a phosphorescent powder that makes it glow in the dark.
All you need to do is 'charge them' under a light for a couple of hours and when you go to use them in the dark, a bright glow will beam from them.
