  • New Skin Saints Shower Whips!

    Skin Saints is a brand I’ve kept my eye on for awhile. First, it was their skincare. Then, I was intrigued by their fragrances, and now their body care products are on my radar. The latest product I’ve noticed on sale is their shower whips. So what’s available and how much do they cost?

    Skin Saints Shower Whips
    Fragrances

    3 fragrances are available. These shower whips come in:

    Cherry Bomb

    Apricot Blush

    Pineapple Sorbet

    These three fragrances are perfect for spring and summer use. All fruity with hints of floral, all sweet and all sound like fun!

    Apricot Blush Shower Whip
    Packaging

    Very similar to a lot of shower whips/shower foams available on the market. This comes in a canister, colour wise pastel shades, very basic but still attractive.

    Who would like this?

    Those who want a more pampering shower experience. If you love different textures with body care products this might be for you. And those with dry skin, as these formulations should be non-stripping and moisture giving, might be a must to purchase!

    Pineapple Sorbet Shower Whip
    Size, price and where to buy

    250ml for £3.00, available in Tesco.

    Thoughts?

    Nicely packaged, great fragrances and affordable price. I’m tempted, but are YOU?

  • New! Affordable Fragrances in Tesco!

    One of the best places to go for EVERYTHING has got to be a supermarket. It’s a one stop shop for food to clothing, electricals to plants and make-up to fragrance. What I like about the fragrance side of things is how you can pick up more affordable fragrance products thanks to supermarkets having a variety of different brands with different price points. I’ve just spotted something new in my local Tesco from a brand called Skin Saints. 12 different fragrances in eau de parfum formulas. So what do they have?

    Affordable Fragrances in Tesco from Skin Saints
    Dark Flowers

    A heavier, darker fragrance with notes of ylang ylang, exotic orchid and black truffle. This sounds like a perfect fragrance for night time wearing.

    Gold

    A mix of amber and spice which should be warming and slightly woody in scent.

    Cerise

    Cherry and almond blossom based fragrance, which makes me think this will be a fruity, floral fragrance with a slight sweetness to it.

    Santal

    Sandalwood and warm spice is Santal. Could this be a more masculine fragrance with its woody and spicy notes?

    Tuscany

    This DEFINITLY sounds like a manly fragrance of soft leather and saffron. This combination sounds like a traditional scent for someone who wants a more predictable, masculine fragrance to wear.

    Miss Paris

    A slightly flirty sounding fragrance with floral and light iris with the added depth of patchouli.

    Wild

    Fresh, clean, energising and zesty is what I think the fragrance Wild could be, as its made up of citrus and amber.

    Principle

    Another woody based fragrance. Principle is made up of bergamot and cedar.

    Passion

    Jasmine and tonka makes Passion seems like a rich floral with a slightly vanilla-esq undertone.

    Rouge

    A deep, heavier woody, musky scent with possibly spicy undertones is potentially what the fragrance Rouge smells like.

    Millie

    Light, fruity and floral fragrance made up of golden peach and jasmine. Millie sounds like a very pretty, feminine scent perfect for Spring and Summer use.

    Flower Chain

    Flower Chain scent wise is white violet and sandalwood, so another floral scent with depth and woody musk behind it.

    First impressions?

    This is an impressive selection of fragrances. 12 fragrances which from their name and what they’re made up of sound very different to each other which means variety. I love the simplicity of how they’re packaged, all the same but different colours and patterns on the boxes. And the price? At full price (£8.00 for 100ml) this is great value for an eau de parfum formula. Do I find these new fragrances appealing? Yes I do. Am I going to buy one? Most definitely…so watch this space!

    P.S Did I mention these are supposed to be dupes of well known designer fragrances? My interest in these continues….
