  • Who Stole My Limited Edition Halloween Pumpkin Spice Body Mist?

    One word? My daughter! I bought Superdrug’s Limited Edition Halloween body mists in the fragrances of Fruity Sour Apple Mist and Pumpkin Spice. Only ONE I have to use because my teenage daughter stole the other one! I’m not surprised. She saw it, smelt it, said how great it smelt and said it was hers! And it’s been in her school bag ever since. So what makes Superdrug’s Limited Edition Halloween Pumpkin Spice Body Mist so temptingly good it gets stolen?

    Packaging

    100ml of fragrance comes in a small but perfect formed plastic bottle. Tinted orange, which runs with the pumpkin theme perfectly. Cute pumpkin inspired label on it which makes this body mist look fun. This is the ideal size and shape of body mist to throw into a jacket pocket in work and clearly ok to live in my daughter’s school bag!

    Fragrance

    This does have that typical pumpkin spice scent to it that most of us will recognise. But what comes through more than anything is the warming spicy notes. This gives off a ginger, cinnamon. mixed spice sort of smell, which is very comforting and in keeping with this time of year.

    Strength & longevity

    When I first used this (yes, I actually have got the chance to use it!) it had a medium strength to it. This type of scent rarely is a subtle one. But what I would say is the strength goes down along with the longevity quite quickly. I didn’t find this lasted as long or as strong as Sour Apple Body Mist which surprised me. Bare in mind I only apply fragrance onto clothes rather than skin. So how this would perform on skin could be different. But I did expect and hoped would it perform better.

    Price?

    £3.49 but regularly on some form of promotion. At time of writing this post its on a buy one get one free deal. Sometimes it can be half price, which works out the same cost individually if you grab the multi deal.

    Despite the fact this wasn’t strong or long lasting enough for me, I actually would recommend it! It’s affordable enough to keep reapplying when needed and small enough to carry, so using isn’t an issue. It smells great, not too sickly and heady as some products scented in pumpkin spice can be. Nicely packaged, and a joy to use. This clearly gets the vote of a 14 year old, so would appeal to younger body mists users and the older ones too.

  • Superdrug’s Limited Edition Halloween Fruity Sour Apple Body Mist

    It’s always great to find a fragrance product which is a bit quirky, especially when it’s affordable. And I found this in one of my latest purchases from Superdrug in their Fruity range. Sour Apple Body Mist is a limited edition fragrance for Halloween. So how good, or bad, is it?

    Packaging

    It comes in a very simple but practical plastic spray top bottle. I love the fact the plastic is tinted lime green and the label on it is fun, eye catching and matches the scent name perfectly.

    Fragrance

    This is sweet, fizzy, apple scented but in a sweetie sort of way. This isn’t a delicate, soft, sophisticated scent. Opening up a bag of sugar coated sour apple flavoured sweets is literally how this smell, and I love it!

    Strength & longevity

    Strength wise this starts off as a medium. It’s not a shy scent, but I do find myself spraying A LOT of this on myself. Why? Because I love how it smells! It’s a body mist. So it won’t have the same strength or longevity as an actual fragrance, so it does fade quite quickly. But it doesn’t disappear fully. So longevity isn’t amazing although not bad, but performs as I expected.

    Price

    Usually this, and other body mists in the Fruity range, retail for £3.49 each. When I purchased this it was on a half price promotion when using Superdrug’s loyalty card so I paid only £1.79 (size 100ml). At full price, considering this is limited edition and very unusual scent, the cost is fair. But for half price? A bargain!

    If, like me, you love your fragrances on the sweeter side, this is a must! It smells amazing, it’s different and did I mention it’s a great one to layer with? Hint…vanilla! Although it doesn’t maintain it’s strength and longevity as much as I would like, that’s sorted by just spraying it more and regularly! I’ve been very generous using this and there’s still loads of it left so still good value.

    If you want this, remember it’s limited so won’t be on the shelves or online forever!

  • 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.

    Superdrug’s Fruity Sour Apple Body Mist
    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.
