TikToker Finds a £2.99 Dupe for £48 Sol de Janeiro Cream

Budget-Friendly Beauty: A Home Bargains Find Challenges Sol de Janeiro's Bum Bum Cream A recent TikTok video by beauty influencer Mathilde Barker (@mathildebarker) has sparked conversation about affordable beauty alternatives. Barker compared the luxurious Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (£48) to a much cheaper dupe, Glow Body Butter (£2.99), found at Home Bargains. Barker noted that the packaging is quite similar, but the cheaper dupe lacks the original's dust cap. "The dupe doesn't have a dust cap," she said, "and looks a bit more yogurty." She also pointed out differences in scent and consistency, noting the dupe's scent is milder and its texture is lumpier compared to the smooth cream of the original. While the dupe is visually similar and offers a significant price advantage, Barker concluded that the Sol de Janeiro cream is superior in quality and ease of use. The video's popularity highlights the ongoing consumer interest in finding high-quality products at affordable prices.
