‘Same as real thing’ cry shoppers as they rush to buy £2 Poundland dupe for £40 Sol de Janeiro cream loved by celebs
SHOPPERS are racing to Poundland to snap up the £2 dupe of a viral Sol de Janeiro cream.
The original Brazilian cream – loved by celebs like Selena Gomez – can set you back £40.
Sol de Janeiro has taken internet by storm with famous people like Selena Gomez and Hillary Duff amongst its loyal fanbase.
Their Bum Bum cream has quickly become all the rage, promising to tighten your skin and improve its appearance.
But the fan-favourite comes with a hefty price tag as it’s currently retailing at an astronomical £40 at most stores.
If you want to achieve the same incredible results without breaking the bank, then Poundland has come up with a budget-friendly solution.
The 200ml cream, named Brazilian Bliss, has hit the shelves of the bargain retailer at a fraction of the original’s price.
Not only is it cheaper, but it also comes with in a bright, tropical packaging that can be easily mistaken for Sol de Janeiro.
The dupe, which sells for a meagre £2, will leave your skin hydrated and smelling good for the summer.
The budget-friendly range has already taken social media by storm, with one anonymous shopper sharing the scent-sational news on Facebook.
Posting on the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, the person wrote: “Body Stories Brazilian Bliss From £2 At Poundland Is Back In Stock Online!”
One user excited replied: “Going to get some!”
Unlike the posh twin, Poundland’s cream is selling for a whopping 20x less than the cult favourite and offers 50ml more of the product.
More dupes to slash the costs
On the lookout for more dupes of the viral Sol de Janeiro range? The high street is full of a number of brilliant alternatives, including Poundland’s very own version.
Superdrug stores released three summery body creams which smell “lovely” and sell for an affordable £11.99.
What’s more, the popular high street retailer has also launched a Tropical Caramel Body & Hair Mist, which looks to be a close match to Sol de Janeiro’s viral Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist.
Unlike the real deal, the Superdrug version sells for £8 – or a staggering 3x less than Sol de Janeiro, which also comes in a smaller bottle.
Rival Home Bargains is also offering purse-friendly body care essentials that are a whopping £30 cheaper than Sol de Janeiro.
Home Bargains’ Glow Body Butter is available in three different scents – pink lychee and crystal waters, cherry bomb and jasmine bloom and vanilla almond and salted caramel.
The dupes of the Sol de Janeiro sprays are not yet available to buy on the website – however, beauty buffs have been finding them in store, with their Perfume Mists retailing for mere £3.99 each.
What Does Sol de Janerio Bum Bum Cream Do?
HERE'S the thing; Brazilian Bum Bum Cream isn’t just about smelling great, but about results too.
The guaraná extract inside the cream contains high levels of caffeine, and is said to tighten the appearance of skin.
This makes it especially well-suited to use on dimpled areas of thighs, tummies, backs of arms and, erm, your bum bum!
The cream also contains replenishing coconut oil and super-hydrating cupuaçu butter (a bit like shea butter), which absorbs quickly and delivers fatty acids into the skin, leaving it feeling really soft.
There is antioxidant açaí oil and selenium-rich Brazil nut oil in there too, which help to give skin some protection from environmental stressors and work to leave it glowing.
In short, Brazilian Bum Bum Cream has been designed to leave your skin feeling soft and super-moisturised, looking its very best and smelling totally fantastic.
