Whether you’re enjoying a staycation this season or jetting off to sunnier climes, achieve a head-to-toe glow with gentle exfoliation from the Bom Dia Bright Cream, enriched with AHAs, vitamin C and scented with the fruity-floral Cheirosa ‘40 fragrance.

What's more? Zara’s must-have bundle even features a travel mini of the NEWEST member of the Sol de Janeiro family: our exclusive Cheirosa ‘48 Perfume Mist, enriched with juicy notes of guava nectar and sunlit orchid.

Check out everything that's included in the edit, plus Zara reveals why they're her handpicked favourites...

Brazilian Bum Bum Cream

Pronounced “boom boom”, this award-winning body cream works to visibly firm and hydrate your base thanks to a nourishing cocktail of ingredients. Enriched with guaraná extract, cupuaçu butter, açaí oil and coconut oil, lock in moisture and long-lasting freshness with the scent of the iconic Cheirosa ‘62 fragrance for an irresistible feel and smell.

Zara says:

“My OG favourite! It smells like a sunny holiday, infused with energising ingredients to help give your skin the wake-up call it deserves.”

NEW & EXCLUSIVE Cheirosa ‘48 Perfume Mist

Celebrating the liberating energy of 1948, when the first ever bikini was sported in Brazil by artist Miriam Etz, this exclusive perfume mist transports your senses to a tropical paradise. Infused with juicy notes of guava nectar, coconut water and pink musk, the scent helps to conjure up refreshing summer energy with a zesty twist of lemon.

Zara says:

“This is the scent of the summer! It's fruity, floral and you can get a travel size, perfect for your next getaway, in my edit.”

Bom Dia Bright Cream

Say goodbye to dry, dehydrated skin this summer with a rich daily moisturiser that works to soothe and leave you feeling silky-smooth. Infused with cupuaçu butter and willow bark extract, the formula offers a deeply hydrating treatment, featuring fruit AHAs and vitamin C for a healthy-looking radiance.

Zara says:

“This is amazing for gentle exfoliation, enriched with a brightening blend of AHAs, vitamin C and scented with the delicious Cheirosa ’40 fragrance.”

Cheirosa ‘71 Perfume Mist

With rich notes of caramelised vanilla, sea salt, indulgent toasted macadamia nut and white chocolate, wrap yourself in the comforting aura of the amber gourmand hair and body mist. Why not spritz in your tresses and like you’re lying on the Brazilian sun-soaked beaches with each hair swoosh, as the deliciously sweet and warm aromas of tonka bean and coconut blossom drift in the air with every movement.

Zara says:

“My favourite scent ever! Just one spritz and the sweet scent lasts all day - it’s perfect for hair and body.”

GlowMotions Glow Body Oil Rio Sunset

Bottle up the Brazilian sunshine with the GlowMotions Glow Body Oil in Rio Sunset, giving your skin an all-year sun-kissed radiance. Featuring a skin-softening blend of cupuaçu butter to lock in moisture, antioxidant-rich acai oil to protect and nourish, and coconut oil to instantly soften and condition skin, the glow-giving body oil is also infused with the brand’s iconic Cheirosa ’62 scent starring notes of pistachio, vanilla and salted caramel.

Zara says:

“I love this glow-giving body oil! It provides the ultimate finishing touch and adds an instant golden glimmer to your skin.”

The perfect home for your new Sol de Janeiro treats, this bright yellow bag worth £15 adds a pop of Brazilian sunshine to your routine!

Coming from a large family of mainly women has made me passionate about all things beauty; from routines passed down from my grandmother, to trying the latest products and trends. Starting over 7 years ago when I was an MUA at MAC Cosmetics, my love for makeup has now evolved into making sure my skincare creates the perfect canvas for any look. I love anything that can make my skin feel fresh & bright while accentuating my features – Bobbi Brown's Face Base is my favourite at the moment! My makeup sits so beautifully on top and make my skin feel so fresh and hydrated!
