  • Treacle Moon’s Sunny Brazilian Love Fragrance Mist

    I am a sucker for a fragrance mist! They are the most affordable and easiest way to get a daily fragrance hit if and when needed. Having a teenage daughter who ‘borrows’ my fragrances means I’m not too annoyed because they’re not expensive. If she loses or uses them they can be replaced easily. The Latest one I’ve purchased is Treacle Moon’s Sunny Brazilian Love Fragrance Mist from Tesco. Usual price £4.50, Clubcard price £3.00.

    Why did I buy this?

    I love Treacle Moon product and I’ve used many of them, including their hand cream, shower and bath gels and body scrubs. Their fragrance mists were new, priced cheaply and I wanted to see if they were just as good as other Treacle Moon products I’ve used.

    Packaging

    Sunny Brazilian Love comes in a plastic spray bottle. Eye catching thanks to the vibrant label which looks fun, youthful and screams Summer.

    Fragrance

    This has an interesting blend of creaminess to this with a slightly tropical smell to it (probably coconut). It’s mixed in with some light floral notes, so I would describe this as a fusion of tropical fruit and florals. It’s really nice. It definitely has a Summer vibe to it and I find it quite relaxing rather than energising.

    In use

    I rarely apply fragrance directly onto the skin. It normally is sprayed onto my clothing. The stream coming from the spray was generous and fine, which I loved. And the fragrance immediately hit, which smelt great. I was quite heavy handed with application because I wanted the scent to last the morning. But what I found was the fragrance didn’t last. Not only was the strength very weak but I could barely smell the scent which was disappointing. It’s such a nicely scented fragrance mist it just wasn’t strong enough and needed to have a better longevity.

    Recommended?

    I hoped for great things with this fragrance mist. But it’s not a product I would buy again because the longevity and strength just wasn’t there for me. If I apply a fragrance, I want to smell it at least for a short time. This failed. Would this react differently on the skin? I’m not sure, but on clothes it was a no from me. Such a shame as this smells really good, just needed to pack more of a punch.

  • Beauty Laundrette’s Eau Yes Body Mist

    I love fragrance. It creates a mood for me and a state of mind, even if it’s for a short amount of time. I COULD spend crazy amounts of money on these products but I don’t. It’s called Adult & Parenthood e.g I can’t afford it! Not regularly anyway. So more affordable alternatives such as perfume or body mists are a must! So I was very interested to see the brand Beauty Laundrette in Superdrug. A totally new line to me, which includes a variety of fragrance and body products all priced in a budget friendly way. So I bought a few pieces, including Eau Yes Body Mist. Normally priced at £5.50, I got it when it was on a half price promotion.

    Why did I buy this?

    A new range (at least to me) always perks my interest! The packaging on the website looked super cute, I am a massive fan of body mists and this was priced so well. Plus I have a daughter who know leaves the house smelling like a perfume counter. Which I wouldn’t appreciate if she was bathing in a £50 bottle of an eau de parfum! But a body mist? Not bothered!

    Packaging.

    Very unusual this one! The whole range looks youthful, fun, feminine and has their own take on laundry products packaging. Slightly curved around the edge with a trigger top to release products. But the trigger isn’t push down as traditional fragrances are, you squeeze it. Soft pink in colour, so no mistaking this for a household item. Lettering in a metallic copper colour. Different, simple but very eye catching.

    Fragrance.

    This is a very fresh and delicate scented body mist and NOT my usual type of scent I would go for. It’s floral based, but more white flowers so it has a more fresh and clean feel to it rather than it being heavy, sweet and dare I say old. It’s pretty, it’s airy and it immediately make me think of Spring and Summer time. If I’m honest, the first time I used this I wasn’t too keen. I didn’t love it, in fact I didn’t even like it. But it grew on me. And the more I used it the more I DID like it! Totally different to anything else I have in my fragrance wardrobe.

    How I use this.

    It’s not something I thought about until recently, but who actually uses body mists on their body? I mean, direct contact onto the skin? I never have. But when you read the packaging (I never do, not for a fragrance!) it does say apply on the body (well this one does). I apply this onto my clothes. The idea of putting it onto my skin is a no. I wouldn’t as I don’t want my skin to be irritated (psoriasis sufferer). I don’t know whether these types of formulations would dry my skin out (contains alcohol). But if I want my skin to be fragranced I would just use a fragranced body lotion.

    Strength and longevity.

    Strength is very VERY light. I found I needed to apply quite a few bursts of this to get close to the strength I wanted. The type of fragrance it is I think it suits being soft rather than full on, but personally I think it should be just a touch stronger. Longevity can only go so far if it’s already a soft fragrance. This is one of those body mists reapplying often is more likely than not.

    Would I buy this again?

    For myself probably not. And only because of the strength. The scent, although not my usual type is actually quite nice and it won me over, but I like my scents to be a little more punchier on the power front

    Recommended?

    I actually would, for a particular group of people….

    *People that don’t like strong scents and want something that’s almost invisible.

    *Someone may work in certain industries where strong scents would be a no no e.g working with food, hospitals, care homes etc.

    *This maybe purchased for a child or teen, who you want to have a nice fragrance, but not one that is overpowering (well the parent doesn’t!).

    So, if you like your fresh florals and scent to be light, this would tick the boxes. It does have a nice scent, an unusual and cute packaging (some people will love it some won’t) and when on offer is good value. At the time of writing this post, this body mist is on offer with a third off so grab yours here now if this ticks your fragrance boxes.
