Beauty fans rave about a £4 Tesco dupe of Sol de Janeiro bum cream
A BEAUTY enthusiast has discovered what she believes is a dupe of a cult favorite product from Sol de Janeiro that smells 'identical' to the real thing.
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, you've probably heard of Sol de Janeiro's Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, which has amassed a huge fan base on social media.

The skincare product – which is actually pronounced 'boom-boom' – is loved by many beauty fans, influencers and celebs, such as Selena Gomez, Hailey Bieber and Hilary Duff.
The ''fast-absorbing body cream'', with notes ''of salted caramel and pistachio'', is indeed best known for its ''addictive scent'', which is described as ''divine''.
However, the product retails at Boots for an eye-watering £28 for a 150ml pack and isn't the most budget-friendly option for millions of cash-strapped Brits.
Luckily, if you're looking for a more affordable alternative that won't break the bank, consider yourself lucky because one makeup fanatic has found what she says is a “dupe” of the viral cream.
According to beauty fanatic Shannon Spalding, there's a £4 skincare product on the market that smells just like the more expensive version – and you can buy it from your local Tesco too.
Shannon, who said she hated the price of Sol de Janeiro and thought it was 'expensive', is offering the popular supermarket an 'identical smelling' body lotion, as well as a matching spray.
“We're going to be Sol de Janeiro girls without the Sol de Janeiro price tag,” she chuckled the videobefore the two bargains were unveiled.
Sharing the budget-friendly find from the store, Shannon raved about the Treaclemoon Brazilian Love Body Lotion, which is astronomically £24 cheaper than the real deal.
The vegan and cruelty-free lotion is infused with coconut and macadamia oil, creating a luxurious, ''amazing'' scent and leaving you with radiant skin.
Meanwhile, the added shea butter is perfect for skin nourishment and extra skin softening.
If you want to smell like summer, Shannon has also found a fragrance spray that pairs perfectly with the body lotion – Brazilian love fragrance mist.
The spray, which can be ordered via the website, costs £4.50 and contains notes of ''creamy coconut, rich red fruit, soft white flowers and musk''.
According to delighted customers, this 150ml spray also smells similar to the chic Sol de Janeiro range, with one rating it ''10/10''.
One mother said: ''I bought my daughter Sol de Janeiro for Christmas and she was already gone. I got her Treaclemooon Brazilian Love Spray and it smells exactly like it. Great purchase.”
Someone else left a positive review and wrote: ''An exact dupe for the SDJ [Sol de Janeiro] without the hefty price tag.
“I'm not sure if it will last as long as the original, but it's great to keep in your handbag to top up.”
“Honestly, it's literally a need,” Shannon couldn't stop praising the supermarket find, while others rushed to the comments to share their thoughts.
One TikTok user said: 'I was keeping an eye on this because I didn't want it to sell out. They also have a body wash.”
''Omg, Tesco tomorrow I'm going!'' Another couldn't wait to get her hands on the £4 purchase.
“It smells so good,” someone else chimed in.
''The scent match is so accurate and maybe they can bring out a few other dupes from Sol de Janeiro,'' thought a fellow beauty enthusiast.
