How to get Sol de Janeiro's new 'seductive' summer fragrance for under £9
Sol de Janeiro has launched what's being touted as its 'best yet' perfume, which perfume lovers are saying is the ideal scent for this week's heatwave – and there's a savvy way to snap it up for less. The latest fragrance, Sundays in Rio, usually priced at £24, is a fresh addition to the popular brand's range.
The fragrance opens with notes of pink pepper, pear and ambrette absolute, then unfolds into a heart of cosy vanilla, orris concrete (which imparts violet-like notes) and 'Champaca pure jungle essence' – a powdery white floral with rich honeyed undertones. Its base is built on amber musk and woody upcycled orcanox.
TopCashback members can bag the new aroma at a wallet-friendly £8 after cashback for newcomers to Sephora, and £8.60 after cashback for existing Sephora shoppers.
Despite its spicy and woody hints, the perfume is predominantly fruity – a signature of Sol de Janeiro. Some of these notes are also present in Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, priced at £69, reports the Manchester Evening News. The scent has garnered an impressive 4.9 out of 5 stars on Sephora.
A satisfied customer remarked: "I absolutely love this scent, it's been a while since I found a Sol de Janeiro release pack a punch. I found many of the recent releases smell the same. But this Sunday in Rio is awesome, it's sultry but feels fruity. It's just perfect for me and so happy SDJ have found the inspiration to release this!"
One reviewer raved: "This is a gorgeous, seductive scent- perfect for night time honestly! It was long lasting and smelled even better in the heat. It smells like a high end fragrance without the price tag. Definitely recommend this for a more elevated body mist!".
Yet, not everyone was as impressed. A customer remarked: "It's so light! 10mins after I sprayed I couldn't even smell it. Even after spraying it initially I could barely smell it. It seems like Sol de Janeiro quality has gone down a lot. Their mists used to perform like edps."
It's worth noting that perfume mists often don't pack the same punch as eau de parfums. They're usually more wallet-friendly, which is great for those who enjoy frequent spritzing without the splurge.
Another delighted shopper shared: "If this is what Sundays in Rio smell like, I'm booking a ticket to Brazil asap. I love this scent! It's a warm floral with yummy vanilla and just a hint of sweet fruitiness. Reminds me of getting a sweet treat and watching the sunset on a warm summer night. Perfect for summer but will transition well into fall. I'm loving the bottle design too!".
Jada Jones recently tried out this fragrance in a shop and commented: "When I saw this one had pink pepper in I was excited to see something more sultry from Sol de Janeiro, but instead I found it smelled more like berries. It's still a lovely spray but definitely more fruit heavy in scent. For those who are after something more sultry then maybe Bath and Body Works Seeing Rouge would be a better fit."

Give Me Cosmetics fans race to nab £35 box with makeup and skincare worth £70
A beauty brand hailing from Liverpool, popular among celebrities, has unveiled a budget-friendly beauty box that offers more than 50% savings on its contents. Give Me Cosmetics is marking its eighth birthday this summer with a plethora of deals and discounts, including the Limited Edition Birthday Mystery Box. Retailing at £34.99 but brimming with products valued up to £75, the box encompasses nine items across skincare, bodycare and haircare. Inside, you'll find full-size shampoo and conditioner, one of their viral Glazed Lip Oils, exclusive Give Me merchandise, plus a surprise assortment of beauty treats, all presented in a festive birthday design. The Glazed Lip Oils, featured in the box, were the first-ever makeup product launched by the brand earlier this year. The launch was celebrated with a towel-clad photoshoot at Liverpool's renowned Pier Head, which received widespread acclaim for 'celebrating real beauty with real people'. Offered in 12 shades, the Glazed Lip Oils merge skincare and colour in a nourishing, non-sticky formula that hydrates and shines. Beauty writer Jada Jones tested them out earlier this year and commended the metal applicator for its 'pleasant cooling sensation'. She added: "Mocha Motive strikes the perfect balance between pigment and gloss. I would suggest having a cotton bud or wipe handy as application can get a bit messy, but overall, I'm a big fan and I foresee myself reaching for Mocha Motive more than any of my other oils or glosses." Whilst Give Me Cosmetics has revealed some details of the box, the precise shades and certain specific items remain unknown. This might create anticipation for some customers, others may prefer to know exactly what they're purchasing. In that case, they might favour the brand's Full Haircare Set. Valued at £67.93, the hair collection is priced at £19.99, featuring seven full-sized hair products designed to restore dry and damaged hair in one convenient set. Meanwhile, their skincare mega bundle is valued at £185.81, but has been slashed to £64.99. From enriching creams to exfoliating tools, beauty enthusiasts can rest assured knowing their skincare regime is sorted. They're not the only retailer offering excellent value, however. The OK! Beauty Box contains 11 products. Ten of these are full size – including a cult favourite Medik8 serum. The worth totals over £210, yet the box typically costs £59.99 to purchase. In other beauty bargain news, it's certainly worth exploring Rodial's outlet section, which frequently features full-size skincare products (including anti-ageing powerhouse formulations) reduced by up to 87%, simply because the packaging is damaged or unboxed. An anti-ageing component that's long been rumoured to be favoured by Princess Kate is bee venom, and you'll discover plenty of it in Rodial's Bee Venom Moisturiser. Typically retailing at £150 for a 50ml pot, you can purchase it out of the box for £90, representing a 40% discount. However, Give Me Cosmetics truly is a beauty brand gaining momentum. What began as a single-person venture in 2017 with merely four products has since expanded into a 450-strong product range, dispatching over 2.7 million orders worldwide. Based in Liverpool, the brand has received backing from celebrities including Michelle Keegan, Rita Ora, Emma Bunton, and Nicole Scherzinger. Its standout product, the Argan Oil and Coconut Oil Hair Mask, continues to be a global bestseller with over 1.5 million units sold to date. Commenting on the mask, Michelle Keegan said: "I'll be honest, I've never heard of it before, didn't know if it was going to work. I used it once and the results were amazing. Took it on holiday and haven't stopped using it since." Whether you're a devoted fan or keen to sample some of Give Me Cosmetics' products at an affordable price, the Limited Edition Birthday Mystery Box offers shoppers just that opportunity. However, it's worth bearing in mind that this is a one-off release, and once it's sold out, it's gone for good. Shoppers can check out the deal on the Give Me Cosmetics website.

M&S's £10 perfumes are back with two new scents being called ‘summer in a bottle'
Marks & Spencer's scents are somewhat hidden gems in the fragrance world, often compared to pricier perfumes, and the high street store's latest launches are perfect for summer Finding affordable – and high quality – perfumes isn't always an easy task, but beauty fans have something of an industry secret that ticks both of these boxes: M&S's own-brand fragrances. Marks & Spencer's Discover range of scents has been quietly impressing fragrance snobs for a few years now, going viral on social media and often selling out due to their excellent price (100ml bottles are £10) and lust-worthy scents that are regularly compared to pricier designer offerings. Now the high street hero has just dropped two new Discover eau de toilettes that are perfect for summer – and you're going to want to snap them up before they're gone. New to M&S stores and online are Garden Party Eau de Toilette and Summer Blooms Eau de Toilette, both priced at £10 for generous 100ml bottles. Inspired by sun-soaked evenings outside with loved ones, Garden Party describes how 'a shimmering blend of melon, red berry and marine notes opens the fragrance with a refreshing burst, gently settling into a heart of ylang ylang, lily, and intoxicating gardenia'. Garden Party's base notes are vanilla, meringue, patchouli and soft musk, evoking 'the golden glow of twilight and the sweetness of summer air'. Summer Blooms, meanwhile, is a warmer, more tropical concoction of dewberry, coconut and orange with heart notes of magnolia and jasmine. The base is one of creamy coconut, musk and patchouli, which M&S says, creates a 'lingering, sun-kissed finish' that's 'summer, bottled'. There's something for all fragrance tastes to be found in the M&S beauty aisles though, from Discover's trending Sweet Pistachio to cosy Spiced Wood – and all £10. After another fragrance bargain? Sol de Janeiro has launched what's being touted as its 'best yet' perfume, which perfume lovers are saying is the ideal scent for this week's heatwave – and there's a savvy way to snap it up for less. The latest fragrance, Sundays in Rio, usually priced at £24, is a fresh addition to the popular brand's range. The fragrance opens with notes of pink pepper, pear and ambrette absolute, then unfolds into a heart of cosy vanilla, orris concrete (which imparts violet-like notes) and 'Champaca pure jungle essence' – a powdery white floral with rich honeyed undertones. Its base is built on amber musk and woody upcycled orcanox. However, TopCashback members can bag the new aroma at a wallet-friendly £8 after cashback for newcomers to Sephora, and £8.60 after cashback for existing Sephora shoppers.

Glossier's ‘refreshing' hair perfume that ‘lasts so long' pulls in rave reviews
The two scents share woody notes that has one shopper insisting makes them 'identical' Glossier's hair and body spritz is pulling in rave reviews on Sephora, where the £35 spritz is being described as 'identical' to a much more expensive product. The spritz comes in two scents: Sandstone and Orange Blossom Neroli, but the former seems to be the most popular. Sandstone is a blend of sandalwood, clary sage and fresh fig leaf which gives a fairly woody end result. One shopper said that the mist is 'identical' to Jo Malone London's Wood, Sage and Sea Salt which is more more expensive at £82 for a 50ml bottle. Hair and body sprays typically lean a lot sweeter than the Glossier option, with Sol de Janeiro being one of the most popular options known for their fruity summer scents. So far the Glossier hair perfume has pulled in an average rating of 4.2 out of 5 on Sephora. 'I'm trying to cut down my alcohol intake and this 99p low-calorie drink converted me' Harrods beauty advent calendar returns after fragrance one sold out in 48 hours One shopper praised the longevity, writing: "This lasts SO LONG. Lots of compliments. Unlike anything else I own! And I love the body spritz format rather than the perfume, I feel like I can spray this all over my body and it won't be too overpowering." While another said: "Love love love the scent. It's the perfect all over spray that just clings to your hair and clothes and is so refreshing. I thought I'd be a fan of the other scent more, but this one is perfect for everyday use." One shopper found the longevity lacking, saying: "I ordered this in Sandstone. It's not a strong fragrance and the lasting power isn't great. The packaging even says to spritz liberally as the first step in your scent routine. It's herbaceous and woody, so if you like fruity florals then this one won't be for you. I do like the scent. I just wish there was more to it." It is always worth remembering that perfume mists are never intended to have the same lasting power as eau de parfums. Glossier does have Sandstone available in both a Daily Oil Wash cleanser for £28 as well as an £18 deodorant and a £28 lotion. When using the same scent in multiple products it can have a stronger impact. Another shopper was impressed by the longevity and even compared it to a much more expensive option on the high street. "Smells great and lasts a long time on clothes, but I will say if you have wood sage and sea salt from Jo Malone, you don't need this. They smell identical to me. I would buy again though when I run out."
