Re: Trader Joe’s Bum Bum Dupe

I stopped by yesterday hoping to get some, but they were sold out. They only had coconut and I don't want to smell like tanning lotion. Probably just as well since it's not something you can get any time. I hate to fall in love with something and then have it go away. I always loved the fragrance of The Body Shop Nut Body Butter, but it too is no longer available.

BTW, PSA from what I'm reading the Trader Joes product is strictly a body butter and has none of the firming qualities of the Bum Bum cream. I don't need the firming, but I might try the Bum Bum cream just to see how it comapres to The Body Shop product I always loved.

I've gotten all my S de J products from Sephora. Oh, just got the largest size of the new pink jar from S de J's website. They were offering free shipping and 10% off for new customers. Since I wasn't a new customer of their website, I had it sent to my parent's house.

@Icegoddess yea i went on the hunt too - seems they were scooped up and now being sold on the Bay, POSH and Amazon etc...

i bought 2 jars of the TJ generic coconut body butter - i was just thrilled!! the cashier must have thought i was nuts. i didn't realize until later i should've be looking for a pink jar.

i do like the butter...

Trader Joe's argan oil is excellent & a great value

Love their argan as well. They have a moisturizer that is supposed to be a dupe for La Mer. It's one of the few moisturizers i've used to the bottom of the jar. Once my IT is gone I"m going right back to TJoes-

Their beauty products get pretty good reviews. I use the shave cream and retinol and like them. The strawberry sugar scrub wasn't a favorite. At Christmas I bought a bunch of gift packs of lip gloss, hand creams etc for my daughter's stockings and they said they have used them all up and liked them.
