With the Christmas season coming up money can be a little on the tight side. So much to my surprise I came across 'Dolly Mixtures' in Asda.
I'm instantly taken
back to my childhood when I give these a sniff. I was half expecting
a really chemically smell but they have not let me down. In fact im
on my second bottle of the Parma Violets shower gel. The flat just
smells amazing after using them for bubble bath. They also bubble up
really nicely so its a lovely multi purpose product. One thing is that the
scent doesn't last very long on your skin, which is a shame but for
£1 im not expecting miracles.
The lip jelly's taste lovely as well as having the same beautiful scent. They are a little sticky but nothing like a cheap lip gloss and leave a lovely clear glossy sheen to your lips. I really like the fizzy cherry flavour and keep one in my bag, car and the others in the flat. Always great to have them on hand.
The body mists are
really great too, may be not particularity 'adult' but for little
ones it would be amazing to make them feel grown up. I do like them
for room sprays though. I adore having a fruity smell in the house
and my daughters room smells lovely.
I know if my little
girl was a little older I would be giving these to her for birthday
or Christmas as it really is such a cute fun little gift to give
those younger.
The best part about
these? They do not cost you an arm and a leg.
The body sprays and lip
jelly's are £2 and the shower gels are £1.
Extremely affordable
and fun for those stocking fillers and secret Santa. However make
sure to pick up a few for yourself as one sniff will get you hooked.

How funny, I actually spent a while in my local Asda sniffing them all yesterday. They're amazingly realistic, however I'm just not sure I want to smell like sweets. But such a cute gift idea for the right person!
