Sol de Janeiro = Body shop?

[may2724]

I’m looking for body mosturisers that smell good

Have you got a favourite perfume that has a matching body lotion? I’d be tempted to go down that route.

Cocoa butter

Bath & Bodyworks at Next have some beautiful body lotions

Do you not want to buy the Sol de janeiro?

Laura Mercier body moisturisers smell lovely but are expensive.

Are you asking if you can buy Sol de Janeiro at Body Shop? I don't think you can, but they have it in Boots and lots of other online retailers. It's fabulous body cream.

Thank you
For some reason I didn’t finish the post

I am wondering if Sol de Janeiro is similar to BodyShop or better and if it is worth it

You can buy a dupe for this in Poundland - Brazilian Bliss Body Butter - I think it's around £3 maybe? It smells lovely and soaks in to the skin well, and seems quite moisturising. Worth a try at that price.

I think the bum bum cream used to be a lot more viscous - remember having a pot in an advent calendar about 8 years ago and was really impressed with it but now it seems so thin - anyone else notice the same?

I still go back to the Body Shop body butters but not the sweet ones. Khiel's creme de corps is great but expensive. Cerave is nice but boring.

This is great- https://www.amazon.co.uk/eos-vanilla-cashmere-lotion-moisture/dp/B08KT2Z93D/ref=asc_df_B08KT2Z93D/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=658853710276&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13762868027562752288&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007064&hvtargid=pla-1809613478539&psc=1&mcid=5a7728e713573488ac38f8ec9ac46104#customerReviews

This is an oil rather than a moisturiser, but the smell is divine and lasts all day https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aveeno-Skin-Relief-Spray-200ml/dp/B09GNST3CY/ref=sr_1_5_pp?crid=3IS945QZCBLMQ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yIapdAcOfFW5drsCG3qH5HA1nC9t-xJINR_ykZvv6LwkRT9rYlPqjGu698OnXYg3T1YAYJIuIh_dGpPyLoLwddarjdpHybIBdfQUcb6asw4pMh7sND1fI0EWbOBrGbfWCLAuPuyzi33oi9TKSfk1HFx13QTVJ9y2yI5_7AKnEJ8BbxWDBIbrLSCd_m6Mze7VBzpCJg7bw9gLKl8dVpdckM_9ZpRSGzEHB0LyG4jsSVerax5qiKUJwwg7_1-4R_LA2wMtZDj0FkB03yudW97srYalkbDcdahWHLA1a0QO1h0.9-2H3k_itP3pOqrJMZmyzA0PCYXQoDqJPBnOnX4vAFY&dib_tag=se&keywords=aveeno+body+oil&qid=1718124727&rdc=1&s=beauty&sprefix=body+oil+a%2Cbeauty%2C106&sr=1-5

@sweetpickle2 thank you so much, the reviews are amazing - I bought the oil and put the lotion in my wishlist

This is a weird thread. Do you use sol de janiero and want a cheaper alternative or do you not want to try it, but try something similar?
