  • The 75p Bargain Body Scrub In Boots!

    Sales. There’s something very satisfying and smug worthy about picking up items in a sale. Saving money is something no one should be ashamed of, especially in our current economy. Boots in the UK over the last few weeks have had lots of products in store reduced to clearance prices, including Treacle Moon’s Peace In A Flower Body Scrub. How much did it cost and what is it like?

    Treacle Moon’s Peace In A Flower Body Scrub
    Usual Price vs Clearance Price

    I couldn’t see the usual price in Boots for this product. But direct from Treacle Moon this body scrub is £3.00. Not expensive at all. BUT on clearance in Boots this cost me only 75p!

    Packaging

    This body scrub comes in a clear plastic flip top tube. You can see the product inside and the labelling is sweet, very in keeping with the name and fragrance of this product. On a practical level, easy to use and easy to store in any bathroom.

    Look, consistency & texture

    Treacle Moon’s Peace In A Flower Body Scrub is soft pink in colour with visible tiny brown specks throughout it. It’s squeezable, and comes out fluid but it’s not loose. The best way I can describe how thick it is is it’s similar to a body lotion.

    Fragrance

    Feminine, floral, very pretty with a slight powdery smell to it. Floral can be quite old fashioned if not done well but this would appeal to a variety of different ages.

    On the body

    Applied on damp skin, I used a generous amount of this to make sure I was covered from neck to feet. There’s enough scrub pieces in this to feel it on the skin, and for it to do the work its designed to do. Also the ‘bits’ weren’t too big where it could be rough and damage the skin. Very easy to apply and wash off, leaving the skin feeling lightly moisturised, and feeling soft and smooth.

    For me, the fragrance was the best bit, it’s beautiful. It made applying this scrub a pleasure not a chore. The fragrance is the perfect spring fragrance because of the floral aspect it has.

    Recommended?

    This is a good scrub! It does what it’s supposed to do to the body, its easy and enjoyable to use and the fragrance is perfect. I’ve used other Treacle Moon scrubs and I’ve found that at least one was more moisturising than this one. So if I could change anything about this product I would like it to be more moisturising during use and after. But for 75p it’s a no-brainer! If you see it at this price or less buy it! Even if you’re not a fan of floral fragrances, this would make part of a great gift for someone e.g Mother’s Day, birthdays etc.

  • More Bath & Shower Product Bargains In Boots!

    After discovering some amazingly priced bath, shower and body care products in my local Boots store recently, I couldn’t help visit another store to see what they had to offer. I wasn’t disappointed! I left with a heavier bag than I walked in with but spent less than £3.00! So what did I see, but more importantly, what did I buy?

    Cussons Creations Vanilla & Shea Butter Shower Gel

    400ml of a floral, sweet, powdery and clean scented shower gel that can be used in both the shower and the bath. Clearance price 25p.

    Imperial Leather’s Mandarin & Neroli Body Wash

    250ml of a body wash that is fruity but not too sweet. Very refreshing in scent thanks to a citrus undertone. 25p for 250ml.

    Imperial Leather’s Mandarin & Neroli Body Wash
    Palmolive’s Thermal Spa Silky Oil Shower Gel

    400ml of a shower gel fragranced in coconut oil and lavender. This is sweet, tropical-esq in scent, very comforting and soothing. A great product to use at night time to help relax and unwind from the day. 44p.

    Palmolive’s Thermal Spa Silky Oil Shower Gel
    Ineos Sea Salt+Blue Lotus Body Wash

    In my local store they only had this in the Mandarin & Sandalwood scent. So it was nice to see Sea Salt + Blue Lotus as a fresher, cleaner and possibly more masculine scent alternative. 75p for 300ml.

    Treacle Moon’s Rouge Love Body Butter & Peace In A Flower Body Scrub

    I saw (and bought!) these when I visited my local store previously and it was good to see them available in other stores. These products smell amazing and are so good on the skin. Still at the clearance price I saw previously which was £1.25 for the body butter and 75p for the body scrub.

    What did I buy?

    Everything except the body butters! Slightly off putting to see a customer opening them all and sniffing them, so it was a no from me to buy these again! So I grabbed another body scrub for a friend, and everything else listed above for my son to use when needed. Overall, I bought (again!) another selection of super affordable products that can be used on a daily basis, so less than £3.00 well spent!

    I can’t express enough how much I love a bargain! There’s nothing more satisfying than buying items that you would happily buy at full price to find they’ve been reduced. Although 2026 is a year I’m trying to be more mindful of how much money I spend, I still want to save money on as many purchases I make as possible. A recent trip to my local Boots had me walking out with an armful of discounted goodies. So what did I find and how much did it cost?

    Ineos Manadrin + Sandalwood Body Wash

    Not a brand I’ve used before but I’ve heard of it. 300ml of a body wash that is designed to be moisturising, fragrant, containing natural oils, combat odours and keep the body cool. I love the sound of the fragrance of mandarin & sandalwood. It sounds comforting and clean. And the packaging is unusual, stands out and something both men and women would happily have in their bathroom. Original price £3.00, reduced price 75p.

    Treacle Moon’s Peace In A Flower Body Scrub

    Floral, feminine and almost perfume like, this body scrub smells so pretty! The formulation, if anything like other scrubs from this range, will be an effective exfoliant and leave the skin soft, smooth and moisturised. I’ve used scrubs from Treacle Moon before and loved them, so I know this will be great. I’m not sure how much Boots retailed this for, but on Treacle Moon’s website this is priced at £3.00. Boots in store clearance price? 75p. (matching shower & bath gel available).

    Treacle Moon’s Rouge Love Story Body Butter

    I’ve just finished this body butter and it’s a delight! (see review here). It’s a beautiful body butter. Good size at 200ml which will provide fragrance and moisturisation on a daily basis. At Boots this normally costs £4.99 but current price reduced to £2.49. How much instore? £1.25! (matching shower & bath gel available).

    Treacle Moon’s Rouge Love Story Body Butter
    Treacle Moon’s Rouge Love Story Body Mist

    I’ve tried Treacle Moon’s Sunny Brazilian Love Fragrance Mist and honestly was disappointed. So what made me consider Rouge Story Body Mist? I love the scent of Rouge Story Body Butter. It’s a deeper, richer scent than Sunny Brazilian so I hoped it would perform better. But the body butter being available and the matching body mist meant an affordable way to layer in a beautiful fragrance. Usual price in Boots was £3.99, down to £1.99, instore £1.00!

    Treacle Moon’s Rouge Love Story Body Mist
    Did I buy any of these?

    Of course I did! I bought 2 each of the body wash, body butters and body mists. And 3 scrubs. So what am I going to do with these? If I don’t keep them for myself, which is a strong possibility, these will make great gifts. I bought these with people in mind. I’m happy I found these at the prices I did because saving money in 2026 on purchases I was going to make is what I’m after!

    *Instore and online prices may vary. At time of publishing post these were available in my local store at mentioned prices but may change or vary in other stores*

  • 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.

    Recommended?

    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!
