If you have not seen the beauty sensation Sol Da Janeiro's rise through the beauty ranks over the last couple of years you must have been living under a rock. There is an ongoing social media joke that the brand is bankrupting parents of teenage daughters - it seems to be the product of the summer and everybody wants in. Shoppers of all ages cannot get enough of it's "delicious" scent.

A large tub of the Bum Bum Body Scrub cost me £31.
20 and a large tub of the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream cost £38.40. That's not all, though, as Cult Beauty threw in a free gift - a small bottle of the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Mist - a body perfume that matches the scent used in the scrub and cream.
The range can also be shopped at Boots where the Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream costs £32.40 for the smaller 150ml size and the body scrub is £35.10.
