A SAVVY shopper has shared how she picked up a free Snow Fairy shower jelly from Lush worth £45 using a clever hack.
Rachael, who runs the @selfcarewithrachael page, uploaded a video showing how she walked away with the huge saving.

She said: “Did you know you can take your empty Lush pots back to the store and get 50p off per item?
“This includes bath bomb moulds if you made one at a party, and even the little sample pots, which are worth 5p.
“So, here I go—I’m after something in particular.”
Rachael bagged up her old Lush pots and took them to her local store to rack up some credit.
Customers get 50p off your shopping bill if you bring back one of your old pots, or 5p if you return one of their 10ml sample pots.
Alternatively you can get a free face mask if you return five full-sized qualifying items.
Rachael showed herself tipping her huge supply of old containers out in the shop, which came to 97 pots and nine sample pots.
She added: “I did apologise to the staff when I finally brought this in because it was quite a lot.
“The total came to £48.50, I think, in the end.
“I got the giant Snow Fairy shower jelly, obviously, and didn’t have to pay anything extra.”
And that wasn’t all that Rachael picked up, as she also picked up a Christmas jelly in the shape of a capybara too, and only paid 55p for it.
The Lush fan added: “So, it really is worth saving those pots up!”
Many people were impressed, with one saying: “Such a good exhange!
She showed her receipt showing the recycling reduction[/caption]
“My husband looked at me weirdly the first time I was like nooo don’t throw it.”
Another added: “how did i not know this, never throwing away again!”
A third commented: “I save all mine and go with a big bag lol.”
How to get money off in Lush with their recycling scheme
LUSH’S Bring It Back recycling scheme invites customers in the UK&I to return any of their Lush plastic packaging back to their shops for recycling.
Not only that but as a thank you for helping keep plastic going and going, they offer a choice of rewards:
- 1) You can claim 50p/c towards your Lush shopping per qualifying item returned and this will be taken off your total bill at the till-point on the same day. You can now also return your 10ml sample pots for an additional 5p/c off your shopping per item!
- 2) Prefer a fresh face mask instead? You got it! Just return 5 full-sized qualifying items and choose your mask.
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.”
