Sol de Janeiro fans are ‘obsessed' with latest addition to Cheirosa 62 range
Sol de Janeiro has come out with cult-classic fragrances for years, with many of them being dubbed 'scent of the summer', and its most famous is available now in a lotion. Cheirosa 62 is recognised in the beloved Brazilian Bum Bum Cream - but the scent can now be found in the Body Badalada lotion.
Priced at £32 on Sephora, the cream has a hydrating formula that uses hyaluronic acid, vitamin E-rich Brazil nut oil and vitamin K-rich cactus pear extract to keep skin soft. It is a thinner formula than the body butter consistency of Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, but some shoppers prefer this.
Palmer's have a Brazilian Coco Cream that's been compared to the cult classic although it doesn't have the exact same scent, it's currently £12.99 at Superdrug. Meanwhile Treaclemoon's Brazilian Love Body Lotion, £4.25 at Tesco, has drawn in many comparisons to the cult classic scent.
It's pulled in an impressive 4.9 out of 5 from 933 reviews. One shopper said: "I am obsessed with the original bum bum cream in the pot and regularly buy the refill pods. So when i found out they finally made a lotion format in a pump bottle with the same scent i had to try this. I love the light fluid consistency of this lotion, how easily it spreads, how super fast it absorbs and how it smells divine just like the original. It's perfect for the summer as it's very moisturising but so light and non sticky. I have repurchased another bottle already!"
Another insisted it's been something they look forward to everyday, writing: "I was so excited to try the Sol Body Badalada Lotion, and it did not disappoint! It melts into the skin so quickly, leaving behind a silky-smooth finish without any greasiness. The hydration truly lasts all day, my skin feels soft, nourished, and completely pampered. And the scent? Absolutely addictive. That warm blend of pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla is sweet, cosy, and lingers just enough to make you want to keep sniffing your skin. It's a daily indulgence I look forward to!"
One shopper complained that it isn't moisturising enough and that they have to use it alongside more moisturising creams. They wrote: "It smells divine! However the hydration part is missing. I use this with my other actual hydrating lotions."
One shopper insisted it's the best texture for the warmer months. They said: "This lotion is divine! The texture is rich but sinks in quickly, leaving my skin unbelievably soft and glowy. The scent is sweet, tropical, and totally addictive—like summer in a bottle. I've gotten compliments every time I wear it. Great for layering or wearing on its own. Hydration lasts all day without feeling greasy. Sol de Janeiro nailed it again!"
Body Badalada Vitamin Infused Body Lotion can be bought for £32 on Sephora's website.

Joan Collins is right, e-bikes are wrecking our cities
I am to the e-biker what the black taxi driver is to the cyclist. Full of contempt, that is. As I bomb around the capital on my bicycle, I occasionally catch the eye of a cabbie. Invariably it's a look of 'Right, you and me outside. Now.' I scarper off down an alley before the situation develops. Except that now, surely, their objects of ire should be the same as mine and we should come together in union against the wretched e-bikes. Because they are now everywhere and they travel like the clappers. And this week has to be a turning point for their fate because they've annoyed Joan Collins. 'I've recently been almost run over twice by Lime bikes,' she records in The Spectator. She also writes of 'the proliferation of rental bikes and powered scooters that litter our pavements'. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Joan Collins (@joancollinsdbe) She has London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan firmly in her sights, saying that the capital is being 'destroyed by [his] insidious antics' and he'd better be afraid. Collins, a national treasure, born in 1933 and carved into our national conscience as the title of her 1979 film The Bitch, won't let this lie. Neither will I, and neither will her fellow actor Robert Powell, who famously played Christ in a 1970s TV mini-series. So incensed is he at rental e-bikes cluttering his doorstep that he has, so far, sent 570 images to Camden Council. He once counted 100 bikes scattered around and obstructing access to his front door. This is by no means just a London problem. E-bike rentals are a disease spreading to towns and cities across the country. From Belfast to Liverpool, Cardiff to Stirling, Cheltenham to Leicester. And they are spread with the similarly deluded green and zealous mantra of wind turbines. The promise is of freedom, of earnest fuel-free travel and of convenience. Needless to say, most of them are made in China and such is their mass production that they have a short life-span, of some two years. They are often cheaper to repurchase than repair, have toxic lithium batteries and pollute the landscape. It astonished me when I first came across them in Paris a few years ago. It was bad enough seeing them lined up at their official stations, hogging pavements and destroying the line of the French capital's handsome boulevards and buildings. As technology improved, they were then – deliberately – left scattered across the city. But rather than learn from this horrific pioneering catastrophe, London willed them in. And the joy of the Lime bike being that you find the closest-dumped one on your app and then discard it where it pleases you, our capital has similarly begun to fester with these ugly, hideously coloured eyesores. Morning in our towns and cities is the worst time for these beasts. Before vans can arrive to pick them up from centralised locations to take them off to be recharged, a fleet of wretched souls gather them. They are then deposited en masse, for example outside Robert Powell's house, or clustering around traditional bicycle racks that I use. And when they're not polluting the view, left on their sides like garbage, their users, often seemingly enslaved delivery folk forced to speed to meet the demands of their greedy gangmasters, clog up and pelt along cycle lanes. Those are my lanes, my safe routes for my manual, old-school, fitness-inducing bike. E-bikes are motorbikes and should stay on the main roads with the rest of the motorised traffic. Every time one passes me, I swear under my breath at the rider, who's wearing no helmet and whizzing along looking at their phone. Well, e-bikers had best be afraid, because there's a gruesome threesome on their case now. Me, The Bitch and Jesus.

Netflix's gripping new NHS documentary release date and where to watch
A new medical documentary is set to be released this week A ground-breaking medical documentary from the creators behind 24 Hours in A&E is poised to launch on Netflix this week. Viewers who love Channel 4's 24 Hours in A&E are being encouraged to tune into Critical: Between Life and Death. The compelling medical series will drop in mere days and follows frontline healthcare workers across a span of over 21 days. This fresh documentary tracks London's trauma departments as medics battle to rescue those with severe injuries. Covering everything from urgent crises to make-or-break surgeries, the programme also shines a light on the private lives of healthcare heroes. Netflix series 'so addictive' fans binge watch in one night Virgin River could cross paths with another small-town drama as star drops bombshell Critical: Between Life and Death offers unparalleled access to frontline professionals, ranging from specialist paramedics to leading surgeons. Before the series debuts, here's your complete guide covering the launch date and what viewers can anticipate. The Netflix programme arrives on July 23. According to the official description: "In London, a major trauma happens every 60 minutes, and for the NHS, each call is a race against time. "Critical: Between Life and Death gets inside the minds of the dedicated trauma teams that hold our lives in their hands when the worst happens. "From the makers of the award-winning 24 Hours in A&E and with exclusive access, 40 cameras are embedded for 21 days across the entire London Major Trauma System. The documentary series goes over the shoulder and under the scalpel to reveal not only the life-saving interventions but also the personal, emotional, and sometimes traumatic reasons that inspire those on the NHS frontline to do a job where every second counts." When and how to watch The six-part series will take viewers inside the trauma units of London, captured by 40 cameras, with all episodes dropping for streaming on July 23. Audiences will witness a range of emergency situations, including the harrowing fairground incident at Brockwell Park in London, which resulted in multiple injuries due to a ride malfunction, and a severe head injury from an assault. Emergency teams will be seen battling to save a polytrauma patient, facing the most critical level of injury, alongside efforts to avert disaster following a motorcycle crash. After last month's trailer drop, excited viewers have expressed their anticipation, with one commenting: "Looking forward to this! !". Others shared their enthusiasm, with one saying: "Awesome! I love 24 hrs in A&E." Another fan mentioned: "Watched all the seasons of 24 hours in A and E and am really looking forward to seeing this." And another added: "This looks amazing!".

Kayali's 'yummy' best selling vanilla scents are £12 each in Sephora set
Two 'yummy' vanilla fragrances are available at a bargain price in this deal Sephora shoppers are snapping up the brand's best selling vanilla scents for £12 each in a mini gift set. The 'yummy' perfumes still feature the iconic Kayali bottle design even in the miniature size, which makes them small enough to fit into any bag. Inside the set are two 5ml bottles of vanilla scents from the brand: the OG Vanilla 28 and the more recent addition Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar. The former blends together rich vanillas, warm brown sugar and velvety tonka while the latter is sweeter with candied pear, bubble gum and even violet. The set doesn't include a spray top, much like Penhaligon's £50 Ladies Fragrance Collection, which some shoppers find annoying. The perfumes are available in a 10ml size that does come with a spray top for £28 each. Charlotte Tilbury also has a giftset of three popular scents from her collection, currently reduced to £33.60, which includes spray tops. The set has pulled in an impressive 83 five-star reviews. One shopper said: "I have been a fan of Kayali since the first time I tried it, so it's no surprise that I loved these scents! The vanilla candy scent is one I haven't tried before but I got so many compliments, 10/10!" Another wrote: "Received this in my stocking for Christmas and let me tell you, it smell's incredible! I love sweet yummy scents and both of these do just that! I also love how adorable the little perfume bottles are, great packaging. Highly recommend these! Will definitely be buying the bigger bottles!" Some shoppers were annoyed that the bottles didn't come with a spray, forcing them to dab the perfume on instead. One wrote: "Loves these two, definitely will be getting a bigger size once these run out. I was a bit confused on how to use them because they don't have a spray part the clear top doesn't come off you have to pull the neck off to use it." Our very own perfume expert Jada Jones has tried both scents and said: " Vanilla 28 is a classic warm vanilla and something of an essential in any gourmand perfume collection. It is worth keeping in mind that the perfume is a dark brown colour which can show up on light clothing items so it's best to apply before getting dressed to avoid transfer.
