  • I Bought Impulse Body Mists for 89p From Farmfoods!

    Farmfoods. If you’re lucky to have one close to where you live or work, I would definitely recommend a visit. Not only is it a good store to pick up great priced food items but as I’ve discovered personal care items as well. My local Farmfoods doesn’t have a massive range of body, skincare or fragrance products available but I found something that caught my eye recently. I spotted Impulse body mists for 89p in the fragrances Petal Pop and Tropic Twist. So what are they like?

    Packaging

    Nothing ground breaking but these body mists come in the usual plastic bottle with a spray top to dispense. Clear, with a colourful label on the front. Quite youthful in look and not taking itself too serious.

    Size

    Both of these body mists are 100ml. This is probably the perfect size to carry around, whether that’s in a school blazer, hand bag or even coat pocket.

    Fragrances

    Petal Pop smells like it’s name suggests. It’s very floral and quite sweet. Feminine, and almost perfume like so a good blend of different floral notes. Tropic Twist is a mix of tropical fruity scents, such as coconut, with some citrus thrown in. Fruity, lively and fun.

    Strength & Longevity

    I’ve used both Petal Pop and Tropic Twist. As usual I spray fragrances onto my clothes and not skin. I found the strength was quite light, so I applied a lot to get the desired hit of fragrance. The longevity wasn’t the best. I could barely smell it an hour after use. Its important to mention that I am dealing with the joys of hay fever at the moment. How I find the performance of these body mists maybe different when pollen isn’t trying to kill me.

    Recommended?

    Decent sizes, nice scents, fun packaging. But the strength and longevity of these Impulse body mists for me wasn’t great. For how much these cost, I didn’t feel the need to skimp on using so much. In fact I was almost justified. These could be stronger thanks to hay fever, but purely for the price alone I would say give this a go regardless. The worst that could happen is a waste of 89p!

  • Affordable Fragrance & Body Care Products In Home Bargains

    Many of us at the moment are trying to spend less and make our money work harder for us. This is with anything we have to pay for. Everyday shopping very much falls into this category, which includes the products we use on our bodies. A store I think of as a one stop shop has got to be Home Bargains. This week I found a few new products which, if I’m honest, I’ve already bought one! So what did they have?

    Miss So…? Body Mists

    Miss So…?’s Body Mists are probably my daughter’s favourite body sprays to use. So I was happy to see these lined up beautifully on a very full shelf. There were 6 different fragrances available, which were:

    Pink Grapefruit

    Floriental

    Red Velvet

    Pina Colada

    Peony Petals

    Lollipop Galore

    All 100ml, and each fragrance was very different to each other but would layer so well together. £1.49 for 100ml.

    Nuage Oatmeal Daily Moisturising Cream

    There were a few things that I liked about Nuage Oatmeal Daily Moisturising Cream. It contains oat extra which is nourishing and calming on the skin. It’s fragrance free so perfect when not wanting a fragranced product or skin is sensitive to it. The size is MASSIVE and the price! For 600ml this costs only £1.99!

    w7 Bubbling Charcoal Mask

    w7 Self Bubbling Black Charcoal O2 Mask is supposed to be ideal for normal, dry and oily skin types. It will help purify the skin and while wearing it create a bubbling effect over the mask. 69p.

    The one product I bought out of these new finds was the Miss So…? Pink Grapefruit Body Mist for my daughter. it smells great, easy to travel with size and affordable at less than £1.50!

    So these are my latest finds in Home Bargains that caught my attention. It’s safe to say each product is affordable and great for those who are on a budget.

  • Budget Friendly Designer Fragrances Body Mists

    I love fragrances! Who doesn’t? Whether it’s fragrances for the home or the body I love anything that’s going to smell nice. What I don’t like is paying high prices for it, especially fragrances for the body. That’s why most of the time I will buy body mists or sprays. They’re affordable, easy to carry around with me and I don’t care if my mini me of a daughter uses them 24/7. So I couldn’t help but pick up 3 (yes 3!) Designer Fragrances Body Sprays from Home Bargains recently for 99p each.

    Designer Fragrances Body Sprays
    Why did I buy these?

    It wasn’t hard to figure out when I saw these they were inspired by designer fragrance perfumes. I was actually on the look out for some body mists anyway for my daughter and thought these would be ideal. Perfect price, smelt nice (yes I had a cheeky sniff!) and something both myself and my daughter would use.

    Why do these look familiar?

    Home Bargains sell air fresheners from this same brand and they are based on designer fragrances too. They’ve been very popular on social media posts I’ve spotted. So expect the same sort of thing but to fragrance yourself, not your home or your car!

    What did I get?

    Black Poppy-vanilla and black coffee (possibly inspired by Yves Saint Laurent’s Black Opium?).

    Daisee-floral including jasmine and wild berries (inspired by Marc Jacob’s Daisy).

    Xalien-floral with amber and jasmine (inspired by Mugler’s Alien).

    Black Poppy, Xalien & Daisee Body Sprays
    How do these smell?

    Xalien is floral based. It’s feminine with woody notes, which gives it added depth. Quite a heavy, musky scent but not overpowering.

    Daisee is the perfect Spring/Summer fragrance. Another floral based fragrance but this one is is quite uplifting and energising with the smallest fruitiness to it. It’s quite youthful, fun and perfect for day time use.

    Black Poppy has a creamy, vanilla element to it giving it a sweetness and there’s floral thrown in stopping it from being too sweet.

    All three of these fragrances are very different but equally smell gorgeous.

    Do these smell like what they are inspired by?

    Xalien and Daisee do. Although I’ve never owned the actual perfumes I know what they smell like and these body mists remind me a lot of them. Black Poppy versus Black Opium? No idea as I can’t recall smelling that designer fragrance.

    Strength & Longevity

    When first applied, all of these body spray’s were medium in strength. I sprayed these directly onto my clothes and the scent was immediately obvious. But this strength disappeared quite quickly. It’s longevity wasn’t very long. These are the type of body sprays I find need to be heavily applied and often if you want to get that fragrance hit and enjoy it.

    Recommended?

    Although I wish these were stronger and last longer, I actually WOULD recommend these! Why? They are what they are, cheap body mists NOT perfumes! They smell beautiful and would appeal to many people. Throw these in your bag, use them as often as you want without feeling the need to save them for best. Give them to your teens to enjoy, and not have the scent linger too strongly or too long on them. And if they lose them it’s no big deal. These are quick fix fragrances to use up nothing more nothing less.

    So if you’re looking for a quick fragrance fix on a budget and happy to reapply regularly if needed, grab these! But don’t compare their quality to an actual perfume although scent wise these are very good.
