  • Is Sweet Cherub Body Fragrance Mist by Impulse Any Good?

    I’m a lover of fragrance. But I’m not a lover of paying high prices. Disposable income and motherhood don’t walk hand in hand, and paying a lot for my fragrances is just a no. So I opt for more affordable versions. They could be fragrances on sale, available in discount stores for a lower price or the easiest to purchase is body mists. My recent purchase was Impulse’s Sweet Cherub from Boots. Usual price £6.00 but was half price at £3.00 for 100ml.

    Sweet Cherub Body Fragrance Mist by Impulse
    Why did I buy this?

    It was affordable being half price. How it was packaged on the website looked appealing, but the scent description grabbed me the most because it described some of my favourite scents.

    Packaging

    Sweet Cherub comes in a standard, plastic spray topped bottle. Clear, with a nice looking arty label on it. The bottle itself comes boxed which I thought was a nice touch, especially for gift giving. The image on the front mirrors the label on the bottle, and continues the cream and burgundy colour theme that’s on the bottle as well. It looks good, suits the fragrance this mist is in and overall the packaging would appeal to many people.

    Fragrance

    Sweet, floral, vanilla with a hint of musk. This is a great combination which always works well and this smells so nice. What I would say is its not particularly sophisticated. If there was a touch more musk and earthiness in this it would elevate it and make it smell more like a perfume than a mist. But I like this! I’m a massive lover of vanilla and sweeter scents so how this smells won me over.

    Strength & Longevity

    Strength of this body fragrance mist was obvious when first applied, so a medium. Not too overpowering but enough to notice it. But I would have loved this to have been stronger. The medium strength died down not too long after application which meant for me the longevity and staying power wasn’t the best. I could just about get a hint of this scent hours later but it was incredibly faint. Both strength and longevity could be so much better.

    Despite the fact I felt Impulse’s Sweet Cherub Body Fragrance Mist didn’t have a long lasting punch I really like how it smells. Anyone who loves vanilla would love this, teens, people who like warmer scents wouldn’t say no to this either. The overall scent is very good and if bought at a good price, is worth repeat reapplying if and when needed. Would I buy this at £6.00? No. Would I buy this at £3.00 again? Absolutely!

  • Perfect For Autumn! Fruity Blood Orange Body Mist From Superdrug

    Who doesn’t love fragrance? Home fragrance, car fragrance, body fragrance. You name the type most of us love them! Different scents evoke different feelings, memories and thoughts, so no wonder it’s easy to be a fragrance junkie! Fortunately, if we focus on fragrance for the body, you can grab them at affordable prices without going bankrupt. I recently found a VERY affordable, limited edition Autumn/Halloween inspired body mist in Superdrug. I bought Fruity Blood Orange Body Mist for only £1.74 (with my Superdrug loyalty card), but without the card costs £3.49 for 100ml. Is this body mist good is it?

    Packaging

    This body mist comes in a chunky but small plastic spray top bottle. Clear and tinted orange/red with a fun looking label on the front, clearly showing what this fragrance should smell like. Personally, I don’t mind how this is presented. I like the fact it’s not cylinder shaped thanks to it’s flat sides. But the overall look doesn’t scream expensive or aimed at all ages. More on the affordable side appearance wise, but fun, and towards a younger age range.

    Fragrance

    Am I the only person who doesn’t know what blood orange smells like? Well I don’t! But what I would say is Fruity’s Blood Orange Body Mist has a citrus hint to it. But is also a little spicy and musky, so is quite a dark, rich fragrance. It’s a lot more grown up in smell then how the packaging looks and I love it! How this smells is more in line with a perfume rather than a body mist, and I’m impressed. Perfect Autumn fragrance!

    Strength & Longevity

    This body mist is medium in strength. Once you spray it there’s no mistaking that scent is out into the world! It’s obvious, it’s distinctive, great noticeable strength but not headache inducing. Longevity is much better than what I thought it would be. I very rarely apply fragrance directly onto my skin. Most of the time it’s applied onto my clothing. This lasted. I used this first thing in the morning before work and a good 5 hours later I could still smell it, clearly, on my clothes. Was it exactly the same strength? No. But not massively weaker and it didn’t need to be reapplied.

    Recommended?

    I love this body mist! I like the size this comes in because it’s easy to throw into my bag. The scent is fabulous, and ties in so well with Autumn which makes this being limited edition a good choice. Not only does it smell great but the strength and how long it lasts is worth even the full price of this but more so the price I paid! If you love your fragrances to have citrus, musky, woody, slightly spicy depth to them in a slightly sweetened feminine way…BUY THIS!

  • 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.

    Treacle Moon’s Sunny Brazilian Love Fragrance Mist
    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.

  • Surprise! I like So…? Unique’s Sweet Pea Body Mist!

    If you’ve read enough of my blog posts/product reviews, you l know how much I love body mists. They’re one of the most affordable forms of fragrance you can get and they can be purchased anywhere from a supermarket, to a discount store or even a chemist. I THOUGHT I knew what I liked fragrance wise, but So…? Unique’s Sweet Pea Body Mist has caught me slightly off guard. Given to me as a gift last year, I’ve just started to use this, so what is it like?

    So…? Unique’s Sweet Pea Body Mist
    Packaging

    This is actually the travel sized version and is 50ml in size. Plastic, clear bottle with a very simple floral illustration on the front. There’s nothing special in regards to how it looks, but this size is incredibly sweet to look at and very practical to carry around day to day.

    Fragrance

    When I think of sweet pea, rightly or wrongly, I think old fashioned. Floral, old, not very appealing and one dimensional. So…? Unique’s Sweet Pea Body Mist is nothing like this. Yes it’s floral, but more white floral based, so not heavy but still feminine and very pretty. There’s an almost sweet effervescence to this because it’s quite energising and there’s no mistaking my personal favourite of vanilla is in this too. This body mist is actually really REALLY good and perfect for Spring/Summer.

    Strength & Longevity

    When first applied (I always spray fragrance on clothes not on skin), it’s very noticeable but in quite a natural way so strength is light to medium. Longevity is what I would expect for this type of fragrance and I can still smell the fragrance hours after use but it’s very light. I would normally say this would be great stronger, and yes I would love it to be. But the type of scent this is I think the strength and longevity is actually perfect and doesn’t need to be a power force.

    Recommended?

    I’m not messing about, yes I completely recommend this! It’s one of those scents you think will smell a certain way but ends up being totally different. Any age could wear and like this, even if you’re not a massive floral fan like me! It’s such a lovely fragrance which makes me smile every time I use it which is how fragrances should make you feel.

    This body mist can be grabbed from many places on the high street, including Boots. Usual price is £5.99 for the full size of 150ml, but the range is regularly on offer at some point in different stores.
