Sol de Janeiro Beija Flor cream with cacay oil and plant collagen.
I really love when Sol de Janeiro makes the collectible jumbo creams with vivid limited edition designs (and the little surfboard scoop). I always buy the ones with bird designs on them, and Beija Flor always has a hummingbird motif, which I love. The Biggie Biggie size is a fantastic value, especially if you get it during one of the frequent sales or with a coupon on Amazon.Beija Flor is the same scent as Cheirosa 68, which is a dreamy, tropical, pink, fruity-floral and creamy vanilla with undertones of brisk ocean air that's crisp and mineral. It really makes me feel like I'm on a beach in a tropical location, lounging near tropical flowers and fruit trees, listening to the crashing of ocean waves. Some people say that this smells like Baccarat Rouge 540, but I really dislike BR540 and love Beija Flor, so I don't really get the comparison. They don't even share any of the same notes, except for jasmine.The texture of this cream is thick, but it smooths over skin easily and is deeply moisturizing. It's not super oily or heavy, so I can get dressed a few minutes after applying, though the scent still transfers everywhere. I wish that Sol de Janeiro made body butters with half the concentration of fragrance. As much as I love Cheirosa 68, the fragrance gets really overwhelming when it's applied over your entire body, and it'll last 24 hours with noticeable sillage before I shower it off. The fragrance in the body creams is stronger than in the matching body mists. On days when my head is hurting, I can't use this at all because the scent gets so overpowering.And that's a shame because I really love the formula of the body butter itself. It has cacay oil (a gentle retinol alternative) and plant collagen, which are great for maintaining elasticity and tone over time, along with lots of butters and oils that manage to not feel heavy or greasy. I just have to be in the mood for the strong fragrance to stay with me until I wash it off.Ver másVer menos
