Reddit user Metalmommy82 loves a bargain and couldn’t resist sharing her beauty purchase on the platform.
She has hit the Trader Joe’s Brazilian Nut Body Wash$5.99, with coconut oil and shea butter, and the Trader Joe’s Brazilian Nut Body Butter$5.99, with acai and guarana extracts.
She admitted that she was ‘obsessed’ with these products.
“They smell so good and the scent lasts all day. I’m so glad I got my hands on them because Bum Bum cream is just too expensive.
She claimed it was a counterfeit of the popular Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, $48, available at Sephora.
The body cream is intended to visibly tighten the skin and reduce cellulite.
It is formulated with caffeine-rich guarana and infused with the “warm, delicious scent of Cheirosa ’62.”
While it doesn’t have a figure-shaping effect, Trader Joe’s body butter will leave you smelling like you’ve stepped out of a tropical paradise for a quarter of the price.

The strong scents of salted caramel and pistachio and the beachy notes of coconut and vanilla make it a strong competitor to the more expensive brand.
The Reddit user raved about how it “smells amazing” and how soft it makes her skin.
“I find it lasts just as long as the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. I just can’t afford to spend that much money on that, so I’m glad Trader Joe’s has a much cheaper comparable version!” she said.
The Reddit user said she plans to always stock up the next time she goes to the store, since they don’t sell the products year-round.
“I bought the scrub and a few other body butters today so I’ll let you guys know what I think of the scrub!” she wrote in a comment.
“Oh! I need to stop by Trader Joe’s! I stocked up on this body oil this winter. I love the smell,” one Redditor commented.

“I really need to get my hands on the body oil when it hits the shelves again! Does it feel nice on your skin?” she replied.
Enthusiastic buyers also asked many questions about similar products.
“Does the scent last all day if you use both products?” asked another.
She said the scent lasts a long time and shared her shower routine for a stronger scent.
The Trader Joe’s fan said she mixed the body wash with a budget product from Tree Hut in the shade Tropic Glow.
“It has a similar scent and I get so much lather from it and it smells delicious,” she added.
