Advantages: smells nice, leaves skin soft

Disadvantages: nozzle a bit poor

Now there are a few Boots stores in the city where I live, but due to a variety of things like having young children who don't like being dragged round shops (unless there are sweets or toys involved), and also not a lot of spare pennies for 'luxuries', I don't tend to go much these days.
However having been away recently, I was delighted to find a little Boots store situated about 10 minutes walk away from where we staying..I felt some shopping coming on!

Now since joining Dooyoo last October, I have found myself trying out products recommended by your good selves that I may not of looked twice at before (I have tried several Lush products for example, and I'm a convert!). I had read about Boots new range of toiletries called the fabulously titled Soap and Glory and decided I had to try something.

Now I wasn't been a skinflint, but the thing that first caught my eye with this spray Flirtigo (again,great title) was the price. It was on offer at £3.93, where as it normally sells for over £5 so I bought it without even testing it out first (very rare I do that!). The box promised it's scent was a blend of bergamot, peach, strawberry, jasmine,mandarin and musk..sounds good, but is it?

The product, and how to use~
Flirtigo is marketed as a moisturising body mist, which for me is ideal as my skin tends to be on the dry side. I tried this the first time immediately after showering and towel drying my skin first. It's a pump spray which I must admit doesn't come out as well as it should. I tried several times and sometimes got the tiniest drop coming out of the nozzle. I tried rinsing it out under hot water but alas it wasn't bunged up, it seems to just be the design of the spray having spoken to a friend with with the same item had the same complaint.
It's not rocket science to use- it's a moisturising spray so you just apply all over your body and it envelopes you in a fine mist.

The packaging~
I was impressed with the packaging and the whole range catches your eye on the shelf due to it's funky retro, 50's packaging. The bottle is a nicely sized 250ml, and is a white opaque colour, and black lettering on a pink background. The bottle shape is larger at the bottom and slims out towards the top. Even though the bottle is plastic it has a classy look to it.

Is it any good?~
Well apart from the poor nozzle that is the only poor thing I can say about this spray. There was no obvious scent as soon as I took the lid off but as soon as you spray it a few times on yourself there is a wonderfully fruity aroma wafting around. The more prominent note for me was definitely the mandarin- I can't say any other scents were fighting through to dominate but that's not bad thing smelling of mandarins! I'm a big fan of Avon's Skin So Soft moisturising body oils and I suppose I compared the level of moisture of these two which I shouldn't have done, as this is not an oil doesn't claim to be one. It did however leave my skin feeling slightly velvety and fragranced which lasted for several hours.

Would I recommend this? Well I sound not too keen on this in certain parts of my review and in actual fact I was very pleased with it. It leaves skin soft, looks great ,is a good price and most importantly smells wonderful.

(One star deducted for nozzle though!!)

Summary: A good spray
