  • 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!

  • Limited Edition Winter Scented Air Fresheners By Glade

    After celebrating Christmas and New Year, many of us are trying to get our homes in order. Decluttering, general cleaning, all seem to be on the list of things to do. A part of changing our homes from chaos to calm and clean, is using home fragrance products. Whether that’s wax melts, air freshener gels or automatic air fresheners, it seems the perfect time to make rooms not only look clean but smell it too. I found two aerosol air fresheners by Glade in Home Bargains in limited edition fragrances Warm Apple Pie and Berry Festive Kiss for 99p each. So what are they like?

    Packaging

    Tall, easy push down aerosol cannisters with each festively coloured with images reflecting the fragrances e.g Berry Festive Kiss, purple with raspberry and blackcurrant images. Warm Apple Pie red in colour with images of cinnamon sticks and apples. Both very festive in look, wintery and appealing.

    Fragrance

    Warm Apple Pie is that traditional mix of warming spicy slightly woody cinnamon with a crisp red apple scent underneath it. The spicy element is stronger than apple making it distinctively seasonal. I would have loved this to have been a touch sweeter but overall it’s a nice fragrance.

    Berry Festive Kiss is a bowl of mixed berries with a sprinkle of sugar on top! Fruity, sweet, almost frosted in scent. Out of the two my favourite fragrance and great to use all year round.

    Strength & Longevity

    Both of these fragrances are noticeable when sprayed as you get the scents straight away. Not too strong and not too weak so perfect medium strength. The fragrances linger in the air for awhile and combats odours immediately e.g cooking. It lasts a decent amount of time but does disappear and not everlasting, but what air freshener IS everlasting?

    Recommended?

    Having traditional seasonally scents are great to use at certain times of the year and these are great for right now. They are both very different scents. One being spicy one being fruity, but both really good with decent strength and longevity. For only 99p for 300ml each and by the brand Glade, this is great value. So if these types of fragrances are what you like, they need purchasing before they disappear. Definitely recommended!

  • 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.

    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!
