Impulsive Spraying....

Spray me, I’m Impulsive....
This is a review on canned body sprays I have tried and some I still have because I love them. I was initially going to just review the Impulse ones, but I decided to include the Wilko’s ones too as a less expensive option, plus I love one of them.

Impulse
Impulse is a perfume deodorant/body spray brand, which is part of the Unilever brand of products. It was first launched in 1972 in South Africa, but only launched in the UK in 1981. They have a wide range of scents compatible for all females of all ages.

I have also tried Very Pink, but I used it up a while ago and didn’t want to re-purchase it just for this review, but it was a very nice scent, but not one I would re-purchase. I have also tested a Hint of Musk, when I was younger and I didn’t like it! I have also got two other one’s to try, which I will do a separate review on and they are Loving Words and Love Puzzle.
True Love
I first knew of this scent when I received it in a gift set for Christmas a few years ago and from then on I have loved it.

The current can design is a light pink colour with a few small hearts making a big heart.

The scent notes are:-

Freesias, Muguet & Amber Notes

It smells really clean, fresh and girly and I can really smell the freesia. It also smells quite fruity to me. The scent lasts quite a while, because it is very strong but not overpowering, but sadly it does not last all day. It is currently my second favourite Impulse scent.

I will always re-purchase this one, until it is discontinued. I have bought it several times and I have three back-ups at the moment because I buy quite a few when they are on offer.

Goddess
I first found this scent whilst I was shopping and I just happened to see that Impulse was on offer and I already had back-ups of True Love, so I decided to try something different, so I chose this one. I first smelled it when I got home, and I fell in LOVE!

The can design is similar to True Love, but it is a warm yellow gold colour and the big heart is made up of smaller hearts and jewels.

The scent notes are:-

Citrus, Jasmine, Gardenia & Pear

It smells really fruity and you get the hint of the floral notes and I think I can smell the pear. From my experience Impulse body sprays last the same amount of time, this one is no exception. This is not as strong as true love, but it is more sophisticated and it is my favourite Impulse scent ever, so it is just my luck that it has been discontinued! L

I would love to keep re-purchasing this, but unfortunately it has been discontinued! If you are lucky enough you may come across it in discount stores or some supermarkets, but eventually there will be no more stock left! L

Into Glamour
I first smelled this when I received a gift set a few years ago. I was initially disappointed because I wanted it to be a True Love set, but after smelling it I was truly grateful.

The can is all one colour and it is a very nice royal kind of dark blue. The large heart is made up of small diamonds. I also think it’s the nicest can Impulse has other than the newer ones, such as, Very Pink, Love Puzzle and Loving Words.

The scent notes are:-

Citrus, Floral, Woody, Pepper, Amber & White Honey

It smells quite citrusy and floral and I think I can smell the amber and white honey. To me it is a kind of night scent and it’s not sweet and to me it’s quite masculine scent, but it still smells girly. It’s not a typical Impulse scent! This lasts the same as the other two and it is my third favourite Impulse scent.

I would re-purchase it if I fancied a change, but that might not be for a while.

Wilko
Wilko is a name given to own branded products from the UK superstore Wilkinson’s. Wilkinson’s have a wide range of home products, and their own body sprays, which are inexpensive, but I actually quite like them. They are a less expensive alternative to Impulse.
Dreamy
I came across this scent when I was younger and my Mum would buy a mixture of body sprays and put them in a box and me and Sister would go and get one out when we needed a new one, so I ended up choosing this one time and I have liked it ever since.

The can is all one hot pink/fuchsia colour and it has a funky silver pattern near the end of it.

The scent notes are:-

Orange, Jasmine, Lily, Neroli & Coconut

To me it smells really fresh, feminine and fruity, but I can also smell some floral hints. It is quite a strong scent and it lasts quite a while, but again not all day. This is currently my favourite Wilko body spray.

I will be definitely re-purchasing this again soon, like I have done for a few years now!

WILKO BODY SPRAY IN DREAMY
Price - 49p        Rating - 4/5

Passion
The story of this scent is the same as above, apart from I am not so keen on it anymore.

The can is a silver colour with pink circular patterns at end. It also has a light dusty pink lid.

I cannot find the scent notes for this body spray but Wilko describe it as being delicate, fresh, feminine, fruity, florally and breezy.

Although I cannot find the scent notes, I know for definite that it has hints of musk because that’s the more prominent note, which makes it easily detectable if you know what musk smells like. I can also smell the slight hints of fruitiness and it also smells clean and fresh and it does come across as slightly delicate. It lasts about the same amount of time as Dreamy, but maybe less because it is not as strong scented.

I don’t think I will be re-purchasing this scent again because I prefer Dreamy, but I still really like this one!

The easiest way to decide if you want to purchase these body sprays is to go to the shop and smell them for yourselves because it is all about personal preference!

I hope you didn’t get too bored reading these reviews, and more will be coming soon!

Thanks J

Perfume Power! - Harajuku Lovers 'G'

I received this perfume as an Easter gift from a family member. The bottle design is really cute. It has a doll figure cap, which lifts off and the actual bottle is clear and simple glass, it kind of has a flower shaped base. The size I have is very small, so it is handy for your handbag. And I suppose you could keep the doll for collector’s purposes, when you have used up the perfume. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Crisp Mandarin, Fresh Coconut & Apple Skin Middle Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Soft Freesia & Magnolia Vapour Base Notes: Coconut Cream, White Sandalwood & Cottonwoods To me it smells really strong for an eau de toilette. I quite like the scent because it is very feminine and quite sweet. The only thing I don’t like about it is the coconut. I don’t really like the coconut scent anyway. Other than that, it smells amazing, until the coconut hits your nose. I can also smell the floral side to it as well, the coconut does complement the flor...

Graze - Box #10

I have another Graze box post for you today. I am thinking of stopping these posts soon because it is starting to feel compulsory and I need to post more relevant beauty related content. A closer look at my treats. Graze’s Popping Corn ‘Lightly Salted’ I have tried this before and it is really nice and not overly salty. You get quite a bit of corn in the bag too, even though it is a small packet. Lightly Toasted Pistachios “Whole pistachios toasted with a little salt” I have had this packet before too and I just love pistachios! Tomato & Basil Pizza “Basil crunchini, cheese cashews & mini tomato breadsticks” This is my first experience with this packet, but each snack has been in other packets I have tried before. The crunchini is very nice and it’s just like croutons. The cheese cashews are nice and I do still really like the tomato breadsticks/baguettes. Herby Bread Basket “Basil baguettes, garlic crostini and oregano ric...
