  • Superdrug’s Limited Edition Halloween Fruity Body Mists

    Superdrug is one of those staple stores on the UK high street that stocks a wide range of products from health care to hair care, body care to skin care. Is it somewhere I shop regularly? No. So what draws me back into purchasing from Superdrug? Price promotions and their own branded products is what pulls me in. Perfect example is their Fruity range. I recently bought two of their Limited Edition Halloween Fruity Body Mists. But why?

    I’ve used them before

    Last year I bought and loved their Fruity Blood Orange Body Mist. Great price point, I loved the scent of it and it was just something a little different fragrance wise. So I already had an idea what the quality of their other body mists would be like in this range.

    What did I buy & why?

    I originally wanted a different scent but it wasn’t in store. So I opted for two limited edition body mists in Sour Apple and Pumpkin Spice. Both were seasonal, both appealed to me scent wise. And when I had a sniff off Sour Apple I wasn’t leaving the store without it! But why did I look at them in the first place, besides the fact I’ve used one of the body mists before? Price point! When I purchased these they were half price with Superdrug’s loyalty card which made the mists very affordable.

    Pumpkin Spice

    This is the time of year when anything and everything that can be scented will include pumpkin spice as a fragrance. Superdrug’s Fruity Pumpkin Spice Body Mist is very spicy and warming in the form of ginger and a little cinnamon. Do I get much pumpkin? Maybe, but its the spices that come through more and I love it.

    Sour Apple

    I can honestly say I have NEVER smelt a body mist in this scent before! It literally smells like fizzy, apple flavoured sweets. So there’s no mistaking what this fragrance is! Sweet, effervescent, zingy apple, which I love as it’s very unusual in this fragrance form.

    Worth buying?

    These aren’t perfumes, so don’t expect them to have the same longevity or strength as a fragrance full of essential or fragrance oils like an eau de toilette or eau de parfum. But these are the perfect sizes to travel with (100ml), seasonal scents with Sour Apple being a revelation! And if bought while on promotion (which this range of body mists these have been regularly), very affordable! Definitely worth a buy!

    Usual retail price is £3.49, but at time of writing this post half price with a Superdrug loyalty card.

  • 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.

    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!
