‘Best £5 you’ll ever spend!’ beauty fans say as Superdrug releases a Sol de Janeiro dupe that smells ‘the exact same’
PRIMARK, Home Bargains and Poundland have all released their own dupes.
Now Superdrug has become the latest store hoping for success with their version of the viral Sol de Janeiro body mist.
And beauty fan Libbie took to TikTok to reveal that the £5 copy is well worth buying.
Sharing a picture of the Mine fragrance mist in Sweet Vanilla, number 86, Libbie called it the “best £5 you’ll ever spend”.
“Smells the exact same,” she insisted.
And Libbie added in the caption: “Get to Superdrug!”
According to the Superdrug website, the “complex mist perfectly combines citrus and candy notes with earthy hints of musk, cedar and tobacco”.
While the mist is usually £9.99, it’s £4.99 if you have a Health and Beauty card – Superdrug’s loyalty card.
And the positive reviews kept on coming on the website too.
“Smells amazing!” one wrote.
“It Iasts all day and it’s a massive bottle too.
“Superdrug own brands are smashing it lately! I’m going to pick up more scents!”
“I sprayed this downstairs then went upstairs to get something,” another added.
“After I came back down again my husband said upstairs smelt beautiful, even though I sprayed it downstairs with the door closed.
“That shows how strong it is, but not overbearing as he always tells me if my perfume is too much!”
“I’m a fan of mine body mists so tried this fragrance it is nice if you like fruity sweet smell,” a third commented.
“It has a pinch of vanilla and caramel. It lasts for 3/5 hours.”
“Very nice, love the smell, amazing!” someone else said.
“The smell of mist belongs to the group of sweet in my opinion, but in no case is it overwhelming, rather warm, enveloping,” another wrote.
How To Save Money On Beauty Buys
IF your purse is feeling tighter than ever before and you're looking to save cash on your make-up routine, have you ever thought of trying out beauty dupes?
Here’s five of the best recommended beauty buys that are almost identical to the posh versions, but for a fraction of the price.
FACE BASE: If you can’t afford Charlotte Tilbury‘s £52 Magic Cream, why not try a dupe that costs just £5.49 from Superdrug?
TONE IT UP: If Drunk Elephant’s £62 Protini moisturiser is out of your price range, you’ll need to check out the new dupe in Home Bargains.
TINTING IT: With Fenty’s ‘game-changer’ skin tint costing an eye-watering £29, a popular supermarket’s affordable alternative might just be the thing for you.
GET COVERED: At £29 for a Tarte concealer, the new Primark dupe is much more affordable at just £3.50.
SPRAY YAY: For those wanting to smell fresh, without the price tag, Aldi’s new Prada and Chloe perfume dupes cost a fraction of the price.
“Despite the fact that it is a mist, to my surprise the smell lasts a long time – after a few hours it is not as strong as at the beginning but still noticeable.
“In my opinion, it can be used for everyday use by people who like such fragrance notes, but also with fragrance for special occasions.”
“Sweet Vanilla gives a feeling of comforting warmth, embracing you with an irresistible sweetness that also smells natural,” someone else commented.
“I like that the scent is not overwhelming, and its sweetness is not too strong.
“Clothes sprayed with this mist keep the fragrance as a light scent for more than a day.”
