Katie Price 'Stunning' Perfume VS JoJo Siwa 'Be You' Perfume - Are they the same?

I was browsing on AllBeauty.com and looking at celebrity fragrances and I saw that one was listed for JoJo Siwa. I had heard of JoJo before, but I don’t really know anything about her. I clicked on it out of interest and when I first saw the image of the perfume, I thought maybe the wrong photograph had been uploaded until I clicked on it and saw the description of the perfume.

When I first saw the photograph, before I clicked on it to read the description, I instantly thought, that’s Stunning by Katie Price!

I looked into it a bit more and compared it to Stunning. The JoJo Siwa “version” is called Be You.

Stunning by Katie Price
·         Released in 2007 (12 years ago).
·         Contains the notes; Mandarin Orange, Jasmine & Patchouli.
·         Classed as a floral scent.
·         Marketed as an adult’s fragrance.
·         Diamonds by Next is a confirmed dupe of this perfume, but the bottle is completely different. You would have to smell them both to identify them as a dupe for each other.

Be You by JoJo Siwa
·         Released in 2018 as a brand new fragrance.
·         Contains the notes; Peach, Lemon, Orange, Iris, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Patchouli, Amber, Musk & Vanilla.
·         Classed as a floral scent.
·         Marketed as a children’s fragrance.
As you can see from the photos, the bottles and liquid are identical. Be You could just be a dupe, but you generally don’t copy the whole product when duping it. You are supposed to make it look different, so that it is not mistaken as the original for copyright purposes. I know the notes are not completely identical, but you would get a similar scent with the matching notes. I am yet to actually smell Be You, because I haven’t seen it in any of my local shops to be able to test it. I’m not purchasing a full sized bottle from AllBeauty.com just for this purpose. My gut feeling is that it will smell the same as Stunning.

I have seen and heard of brands duping well known products before, but they generally make them look different to avoid legal proceedings and copyright claims. It looks like the only thing splitting the two perfumes above, is the engraving around the neck of the bottle and the outer cardboard packaging. A Stunning fan like myself would easily identify the Be You perfume as actually being Stunning without smelling it.

Another possibility is that the Stunning perfume may not actually belong to Katie Price. It may have been created for her by a fragrance company and she may have been paid to promote it as her own. This isn’t illegal and the company would be well within their rights to then re-brand the scent years later and re-release it. If this is the case and they are now using JoJo Siwa to sell the scent, I find it strange because Stunning is a well-known scent (in the UK anyway) and it is widely associated with Katie Price. Katie herself could have owned the scent and then sold the rights on. If you were going to do this, you wouldn’t pick something so obvious. Twelve years is not that long for a popular product. Also, Stunning is a grown up sexy scent, but Be You is marketed for children!

Do you think JoJo Siwa has ripped off Katie Price’s perfume or do you think it is a standard perfume that celebrities are paid to promote and pretend it is their own creation?

I have reached out to Katie Price and JoJo Siwa regarding “their” perfumes, but I am yet to receive an acknowledgment or reply from both parties. I will do a follow up post on this if needed, but I don’t think I will get an answer. To cure my curiosity I might purchase Be You after all!

Review: Travalo Classic

I was sorting through some old pictures in my blog folder on my computer and I came across some Travalo pictures I took, and remembered I was mean’t to do a post about it. So better late than never, I am going to share with you how to use it and what I think. About the Travalo The Travalo is a small and handy perfume atomiser that allows you to decant a small amount of your favourite perfume into the tube and carry it with you, so you don’t have to carry around the bottle. It is made of strong, light aluminium and is 80mm in size and holds 4ml of liquid, which is approximately fifty sprays. It is also a “perfectly” rounded shape, which means there are no corners, so you don’t have to worry about it ripping your handbag, purse and pockets or scratching any furniture and surfaces. How to Use It If you want to decant some perfume to put in the Travalo you need to: 1. Take the spray cap off the perfume bottle 2. Get your Travalo and hold it upright over the spray s...

I four I received are:- Getting Groovy - metallic gold palladium Party On A Platform - London garnet red Oh Behave! - minx peach frost Ready to Boa - glistening bronzed mahogany The shades are absolutely gorgeous and my favourites are Getting Groovy and Oh Behave!. They are all perfect picks for Christmas and sadly the offer is no longer available, however you can still purchase the individual shades. ♥ ♥ ♥

Review: Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil

This was the second eyebrow pencil I had ever tried because I wanted something that was inexpensive and maybe had an applicator with it. The product just looks like an eyeliner pencil, but on the side of the cap there is a grooming brush. The cap colour reflects the actual product colour. To apply it, you take off the cap and put it on the end of the pencil. You then just fill in your eyebrows like you would normally, just add more pressure to the pencil if you want a darker look. You can then turn the pencil upside down and use the brush. The formula is really soft and you can tell it has some wax built in to it. You get 1.4g of product and the shade I have is 002 Hazel , which is a light honey brown shade. This brow pencil is supposed to be brilliant for filling the gaps in your brows and great for lengthening your arc for a natural look. The colour should be long wearing and smudge-proof and the brush applicator should make it easy for you to groom and shape. I ...
