Marks & Spencer, as a store, is known for selling food, clothing and homeware. But what about beauty? Body care? Fragrance? If you’re able to visit a large Marks & Spencer, you will find a beauty department selling various different products. But even in a smaller store, even the ones that focuses purely on food, you will find a small section of personal care items available. My local store, a food hall, stocks a variety of different products. So what did I find?
Fragrance Mists for Body & Hair
Most people love a fragrance mist, and Gem fragrance mists will probably be loved too. These come in three different fragrances:
Roasted Almond & Toffee – buttery toffee and sweet almond.
Santal – earthly sandalwood subtle spices.
Coconut Vanilla – coconut milk with exotic vanilla.
£5.50.
48hr antiperspirant dry spray
These come in the same fragrances as the fragrance mist, which is great if you want to layer. Each one contains no alcohol but does contain shea butter, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid. This formulation is designed to to be hard working on sweat and odours but also be gentle on the skin. £3.50.
Roll on deodorant
Same fragrances as the fragrance mist and the dry spray. Similar properties as the dry spray e.g the moisturising ingredients but in roll on form. £3.00.
First thoughts?
I like the fact all three products come in the same fragrances. All three fragrances tick my boxes as these are my type of scents. But not very spring or summer like, except for Coconut Vanilla. I’m not sure if there’s more fragrances available and they’re store dependant. Two of these seem more suitable for autumn/winter wearing and I would love to see more floral and fruity based fragrances ready for warmer seasons. How these are packaged are simple but not in a cheap looking way, quite sophisticated. And price point? Not the lowest prices I’ve seen but definitely not the most expensive.
A nice selection of products I would happily buy and try!
