Acting on impulse

Advantages: Great smell, lasts a while
Disadvantages: overpriced

...Impulse was originally launched in South Africa in 1972, and was launched in the UK by Elida Gibbs in 1979. The impulse range over the years has come out with many different kinds of scents including Tease, Temptation, and Romantic Spark. Now you may have noticed from the impulse range all their scent names are something to do with love and romance. They did make out in adverts that virtually with this scent on men will find you quite irresistible. In my opinion anyway I always find this rubbish. Men are not attracted to a smell they are attracted to a person loll. In 2009 the whole Impulse range underwent a packaging re-vamp to give the brand a more contemporary and modern feel. The impulse range is well known for the butterfly trademark on the bottle. The lids are pretty easy to unlock as long as you know how to. You have no messing...

Review of Impulse Tease Body Spray

Impulse Buy

Advantages: Great price, lasts long
Disadvantages: Still not like the real thing (perfume)

...It really drives me crazy how expensive perfume is. And the kicker is that most of the time, the scent only lasts until the second you step out the door, and then your date or your friends can’t smell it on you anyway. My solution to that? Bodyspray. It is inexpensive, actually lasts longer that I would have thought, and if you’re really desperate, it can double as deodorant – at least long enough for you to jog down to the local newsagents and buy some proper stuff. Impulse Spirit was my answer to my grudge against perfume (not that I’m adverse to be showered in gifts of luxurious liquid) and I love it. Impulse actually does a bunch of different scents that range from the young teen type smells to the sophisticated Oscar de la Renta scents without being similar enough to “smell” a knock...

Impulse Paris ~ Smell Drop Dead Chic

Advantages: gorgeous fragrance, Buy one get one free
Disadvantages: its a limited edition fragrance

...I have been using Impulse Paris for a few months now and i have to admit that it is my all time favourite fragrance. Impulse Paris is a limited addition fragrance (it is printed in caps on the top if the cylindrical tin), so I have been stocking up on my favourite fragrance, before they stop selling it. Right now it is Buy One Got One Free at Superdrug and boots, so I am getting twice as much for my money. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Packaging ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Impulse Paris is sold in a 75ml cylindrical can with a twist lid, which is really easy to use. You twist it to the left to open it and twist it to the right to close it. The slim line design of the can of impulse is great because it takes up hardly any room in your handbag, and because it has the twist lid it means that you dont loose the lids off your body spray...

Review of Impulse Range

Impulse Spirit

Advantages: Nice scent, refreshing, pretty packaging
Disadvantages: Smell doesn't last long

...I admit, I have an addiction to perfumes. I have 17 in total, my favourite being Angel by Thierry Mugler, costing me around £35 for a small star-shaped container, but I've fallen in love with Impulse Spirit - a fraction of the cost at just £2.19! The tube is very pretty, for starters. It fades from metallic blue to silver, with different coloured writing on it. It's slim and lightweight, and looks good when you whip it out in the changing room! It has a twist-cap attached, so there's no chance of losing the lid to it and having things in your bag pressing against it and making your bag reek of it. The scent is very fresh - sweet, but not too sweet, and very refreshing. However, if you use too much, it smells a bit too sweet! Some cheap deoderants stink of cheap air-freshener and make you want to gag but this is lovely, a breath...

Review of Impulse Spirit

Impulse not to buy

Advantages: Great packaging, cheap and cheerful!
Disadvantages: smell is off-putting, doesn't last that long.

...I always have a bit of a dilemma with deodorants and body sprays. I can rarely find a good quality, long lasting deodorant that doesn't make me cough when using and actually smells nice! Is it too much to ask? Well, I'm afraid 'Siren' by Impulse isn't that great either, in fact I don't think I'd buy anything from the Impulse range again after buying this one, they come across as a cheap brand. From my experiences perhaps I need to invest better money into a really good Deodorant, so if there any experiences out there of any good ones please let me know! Price: The price range of this product for a 150ml bottle is roughly £1.69 in most stores. And can I just say you can get the Impulse range in Superdrug and I love the look of their website at the moment, I went on their recently and it's really funky and easy to navigate so check...

Review of Impulse Siren

An Impulse Buy

Advantages: Effective for 24 hours plus, smells wonderful, gentle on sensitive skins
Disadvantages: Just a tad pricier than other brands

...at the supermarket and I keep myself busy at home doing essential jobs such as toenail painting and nibbling on Galaxy! One of the latest things I asked him to pick up for me on his last trek out was my usual anti-perspirant deodorant. I’ve always used Sure as it’s a name that I trust and it does the job admirably. But as I ploughed my way through the carrier bags of lager, Galaxy and cancer sticks, I noticed that once again he’d picked up the wrong product! Instead of my usual trusted Sure, he’d brought back an Impulse roll-on, the ‘Spirit’ fragranced one. I gave him the benefit of a typical Squiggles blast and after he retreated to a corner, gibbering manically about them having run out of Sure and crying for his mother, I thought it only fair to give the thing a try. Do I like it? Yes! Firstly...

Review of Impulse Anti-Perspirant

Impulse buy

Advantages: Handy to carry about in a bag
Disadvantages: stinging/tingly feling

...Well, I brought these Impulse wipes before I was due to go on holiday. They come in a small box (sea blue colour) with a light pink swirly line down the box. It has Impulse written in big black lettering at the top of the box, with 'refreshing fragranced bodywipes' underneath. At the bottom of the box it states that they are 'spirit' smelling and the box contains 12 sachets. On the back of the box it has the following: Sparkling fresh fragrance and a cool feeling on your skin, impluse bodywipes leave you feeling revitalised, grently fresh and fragranced wherever you are. Enjoy the electric freshness of impulse spirit and have fun with who you are. *dermtologically tested. Okay so in my opinion i think that its a load of words put togther to make this product sound far better than it really is. Inside the box you are...

Review of Impulse Bodywipes Spirit

obbsessive impulsive spraying disorder - sorry

Advantages: Very fresh, lasts most of the day.
Disadvantages: None i can think of.

...~~~**Reason for purchase**~~~ I decided to buy this body spray when summer came around and I realized that school days wouldn?t be oh so pleasant when wandering round with a shirt and blazer on and sitting in a crowded school all day. Oh mustn?t forget having to run away from the dreaded wasps was another of the factors which made me buy this. I already wear anti-perspirant deodorant, just incase you were wondering, but I can?t exactly roll this all over my body now can I? ~~**Statistics (lol)**~~ I looked around for an old favourite of mine from my younger years ? Impulse. So off I went to Boots, during my whole toiletry shopping spree I have once in a while and headed to the deodorant aisle. The impulse sprays instantly caught my eye. Each different fragrance had a different logo and colour scheme on the can and the price was...

Review of Impulse Spirit

I DID IT ON IMPULSE

Advantages: A HANDBAG SIZED BODYWIPE YOU CAN USE ANYWHERE AND SMELL GREAT
Disadvantages: HAVING TO KEEP THEM HIDDEN FROM THE GIRLS AS THEY LIKE THEM SO MUCH

...would tell you a little about them so you may want to try them yourselves if you haven?t already. They are Impulse refreshing fragranced body wipes, yes I was shocked too, a body spray that comes in a wipe, no I thought that cannot be right, how would they keep fresh for a start, and would it be worth the money? Well I asked my daughter to get me some of these little wipes so I could see it for myself, and I was pleasantly surprised. They come in a box very similar to a small perfume box and when you look inside it contains 12 sachets with little body wipes inside, I was quite impressed actually. The actual wipes have the scent of the body spray Air, and they are in a kind of foil sachet that has the usual Impulse and Air logo on as would the bottle of body spray, with the blue stripe fading as it runs around the packet. When...
