  • Face Facts Skincare Masks In B&M For Under £4.00 Each!

    Skincare products are available online and on the high street at different price points. This makes grabbing a face wash, toner, moisturiser and anything else affordable for those on a budget. The other extreme is you can have a splurge on something more expensive. The choice is yours depending on what you want and how much you want to spend. One brand that has a massive range of products, and is available to buy in various stores, is Face Facts. Here are a few skincare masks (and a blemish treatment) I found in B&M with each product priced under £4.00!

    Face Facts skincare masks (and blemish treatment) in B&M!
    Hydrogel Eye Masks

    Eye masks are a great and simple way to immediately improve the look of the under eye area. This pack contains 4 treatments (not too sure whether that’s 4 pairs of masks or 4 under eye masks in total). Designed to freshen tired looking eyes, brighten and hydrate the under eye area. £1.99.

    Plumping Sheet Mask

    This pack contains three sheet masks. They’re designed to hydrate, help to soften the look of lines and wrinkles making skin look softer and plumper. £3.99.

    Flight Refresh Face Mask

    Flight Refresh Face Mask is supposed to have the same effects as the Plumping Sheet Masks, but also to help the tone of the skin even out. Overall, giving the skin a fresher look. £1.99.

    Blemish Control Micro-Dart Patches

    These patches help to target blemishes/spots directly, thanks to tiny micro needles that go into them. Containing hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid and tea tree oil, these ingredients help to treat, calm and heal blemishes. £2.99.

    Anymore products?

    There are LOADS more skincare products from Face Facts sat on the shelves of B&M! Too many for me to mention. But they aren’t hard to spot thanks to their colourful packaging and low price points.

    Thoughts?

    I love how affordable Face Facts products are. Also, the fact there’s so many products available means choice which is great. These particular products seem more aimed at younger skin and don’t give off hard working formulations, or serious skincare to me. Personally, I wouldn’t buy any of these because each product. My skin needs something more and something less, include no fragrance. These products I wouldn’t go for if I had problematic, aged or sensitive skin. But if under the age of 25 and wanted a pamper on a budget, why not?

  • Things I’m Doing Now For Christmas

    Love it or hate it, we’re creeping closer and closer to Christmas. Some people like to start early preparing for the festive season, some feel it’s an outrage to think about it before we haven’t fully experienced autumn. I’m in the camp of liking to be prepared, time and energy willing, and this is what I will be doing now to get ready for Christmas:

    Checking what I have

    I have a habit of buying things and putting them away to use for another time or bought for a ‘just in case’ situation. Before I buy anything, whether that’s gifts for family or friends or seasonal home fragrance products, I’m checking what I already have stashed away. It’s easy to overbuy or buy multiples of the same item if you don’t keep a track of what you have. Checking what I have means I know where my purchasing gaps are, what I need and what I don’t need.

    Decluttering

    Who doesn’t need a good declutter? New Christmas purchases, presents and decorations mean more space is needed. So it’s a perfect time to get rid of any junk in the bin, sell items that are good quality or donate to charity.

    Making lists and checking them twice

    A list! Oh how I love a good list or three! I use lists at various stages. Example:

    1. What needs decluttering.
    2. What do you already have.
    3. What do you need.
    4. What to buy next and where, etc.

    Lists can keep us on track and give us a sense of accomplishment, especially if there’s lots of things to do.

    Seasonal home fragrance products

    I love autumn and winter fragrances. They suit the time of the year thanks to them creating cosy spaces in the home during darker and colder days and nights. This is the perfect time to stock up on these types of products to put away ready for use. I’ve already seen, even bought, some really nice fragrance products. And there’s plenty of time to buy more.

    Buying Christmas stocking fillers & gifts

    Checking that present draw, cupboard or stash, means you know what you have and don’t have now, right? Once I’ve done this myself, made a list and decluttered, I can now buy smaller gifts. Gifts that could be for stocking fillers, part of a collection of gifts or small one- off’s e.g teacher gifts. Every year there’s always small items I can buy easily, affordably and from anywhere, that will be make great presents. Body mists, body butters, skincare masks, wax melts, candles. These are the perfect types of items welcomed by many people I know.

    What do I WANT?

    A lot of the Christmas preparation is for other people, so don’t forget yourself! If you’re buying a candle for a neighbour or teacher and you think it’s gorgeous, get one for yourself! If you’ve grabbed a body mist for your daughter and you know you will ‘borrow it’, get a second one. This is what I will be doing because I can spend so much time worrying and buying for others and not the same is being done for me.

    These tips can be used for anything

    What I will be doing can be used for anything. Checking what you have could be not just for presents but for food items too. Decluttering could be sorting out the cupboard under the stairs, the kids bedrooms. Christmas gifting could be a set of pjs, comic socks, a mug. All these acts are transferable. Done bit by bit, week by week, can make Christmas less stressful, more organised, cheaper and easier for us all.

    So when will you be starting prepping for Christmas? I’m starting NOW!

  • Superdrug’s Limited Edition Halloween Fruity Body Mists

    Superdrug is one of those staple stores on the UK high street that stocks a wide range of products from health care to hair care, body care to skin care. Is it somewhere I shop regularly? No. So what draws me back into purchasing from Superdrug? Price promotions and their own branded products is what pulls me in. Perfect example is their Fruity range. I recently bought two of their Limited Edition Halloween Fruity Body Mists. But why?

    Superdrug’s Limited Edition Halloween Fruity Body Mists
    I’ve used them before

    Last year I bought and loved their Fruity Blood Orange Body Mist. Great price point, I loved the scent of it and it was just something a little different fragrance wise. So I already had an idea what the quality of their other body mists would be like in this range.

    What did I buy & why?

    I originally wanted a different scent but it wasn’t in store. So I opted for two limited edition body mists in Sour Apple and Pumpkin Spice. Both were seasonal, both appealed to me scent wise. And when I had a sniff off Sour Apple I wasn’t leaving the store without it! But why did I look at them in the first place, besides the fact I’ve used one of the body mists before? Price point! When I purchased these they were half price with Superdrug’s loyalty card which made the mists very affordable.

    Pumpkin Spice

    This is the time of year when anything and everything that can be scented will include pumpkin spice as a fragrance. Superdrug’s Fruity Pumpkin Spice Body Mist is very spicy and warming in the form of ginger and a little cinnamon. Do I get much pumpkin? Maybe, but its the spices that come through more and I love it.

    Sour Apple

    I can honestly say I have NEVER smelt a body mist in this scent before! It literally smells like fizzy, apple flavoured sweets. So there’s no mistaking what this fragrance is! Sweet, effervescent, zingy apple, which I love as it’s very unusual in this fragrance form.

    Superdrug’s Fruity Sour Apple Body Mist
    Worth buying?

    These aren’t perfumes, so don’t expect them to have the same longevity or strength as a fragrance full of essential or fragrance oils like an eau de toilette or eau de parfum. But these are the perfect sizes to travel with (100ml), seasonal scents with Sour Apple being a revelation! And if bought while on promotion (which this range of body mists these have been regularly), very affordable! Definitely worth a buy!

    Usual retail price is £3.49, but at time of writing this post half price with a Superdrug loyalty card.
