  • 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?

  • New So…? Body Mists in Superdrug

    Body mists are a great way for people to fragrance themselves. Available everywhere, lots of brands and scents to choose from and can be very affordable to purchase. These are the reasons I like to use and buy them, not only for myself but for my teenage daughter too. My latest purchase was a selection of So…? body mists, in new fragrances, from the store Superdrug. So what did I buy and why?

    New So…? Body Mists in Superdrug
    Fragrances

    I bought 4 body mists in total. Chocolate Milkshake, Vanilla Milkshake, Caramel Cookies and Boba Licious.

    Vanilla Milkshake Body Mist
    Why these?

    Firstly, these are new fragrances. But more importantly these are the types of fragrances I like. Sweet smelling, almost bakery or confectionery like, are the types of scents I’ve always enjoyed. With these being on a special price promotion it made these new releases just that little bit more affordable so I could try them out. It also helps that my daughter has a similar taste in scents and fragrances to me, so win win.

    Chocolate Milkshake Body Mist
    How do they smell?

    Chocolate Milkshake smells like a mix of milk chocolate and florals. Vanilla Milkshake I would say has the same sort of scent as the chocolate version but, of course, more vanilla based. Caramel Cookies reminds me of the scent of caramelised biscuits, LITERALLY! And Boba Licious is quite a fruity fragrance. Very summery, energising and effervescent.

    Caramel Cookies Body Mist

    I can honestly say I would be happy to wear any of these. These are my types of fragrances scent wise and each one smells so good, especially Caramel Cookies. I can also see the potential of layering as I think they would work well combined.

    Boba-Licious Body Mist
    Thoughts?

    These 4 new So…? body mists from Superdrug is what I expect from the brand. Fun, fragrant and modern. Not taking itself too seriously and really delivering fragrances that people will love if they like this type of fragrance family. I was going to give my daughter one or two of these but I’m tempted to keep them all, that’s how much I like them! So on first impressions and sniff test, these get the thumbs up. Cost? £3.99 for 100ml, but at time of purchase they were on promotion for £2.35 (using Superdrug’s loyalty card). Available in store and online.

  • New In Home Bargains!

    A store that never fails to bring in new, affordable products for skin, hair and body is Home Bargains. Their personal care products is always my favourite things to look for and to buy. With a variety of different brands available being sold lower than the rrp, no wonder certain products are popular. But what have I recently spotted for sale in my local store?

    New in Home Bargains
    Dr Paw Paw’s Lip Scrub & Lip Balm Duo

    This is such a handy set considering the time of the year we are in. It’s getting warmer which means lips can get drier and need more moisture added. Dr Paw Paw’s Lip Scrub & Lip Balm Duo means you can get rid of any dry, flaky skin and then immediately moisturise them. Price £3.99.

    Dove’s Nourishing Lip Balm

    Dove is one of those everyday, well known brands that many people will have used and bought at some point. It’s well liked, trusted, readily available and the price point is ok. Dove’s Nourishing Lip Balm contains jojoba oil and shea butter extras which should soothe, smooth and moisturise lips. Price £1.49.

    Faith in Nature’s Body Washes

    I only spotted the Aloe Vera version of Faith in Nature. It’s a brand that people head towards if they want their body care products to be more natural in regards to ingredients. Not only is the focus on what’s put into their products, but what’s left out of them e.g parabens and SLS. Price £1.99 for 400ml.

    Timotei’s Shampoos & Conditioners

    Not a haircare brand I’ve ever used but feels like a blast from the past, is Timotei. I couldn’t help noticing these in the shampoo and conditioner section because the bottles looked very appealing. There were different versions available for different hair types. I noticed two in the form of Hydrating and Strengthening. Price £1.99 each for 300ml.

    Timotei’s Shampoos & Conditioners

    So these are just a few of the latest products in Home Bargains for hair, body and face. All branded, all affordable but availability can be store dependant so worthwhile checking your store to see if they are in.

  • Teacher Gifts of Home Fragrance Products For Under £5.00

    It’s getting closer to that time of year where many people want to thank the teachers who have been educating and looking after their children for the last school year. I’ve spent many years buying gifts for multiple teachers for both of my children, so I know how it can be difficult to get affordable, nice and not the norm gifts for them. I can imagine it’s hard for others too if they don’t want to buy the usual mug, diaries or biscuits. So I’ve kept my eyes peeled for affordable home fragrance products that would make nice gifts for teachers in both ASDA and Home Bargains.

    Teacher Gifts of Home Fragrance Products
    Why choose home fragrance as a gift?

    Most people use some form of home fragrance products in their homes. They’re practical, can be used for decoration and fragrance. Overall home fragrance products is a little more thoughtful than other potential gifts.

    ASDA – Tinned Candles

    My local ASDA has a good selection of home fragrance products. I spotted these new tinned candles because they looked great, good variety of fragrances and were only £2.00 each! They looked more expensive than what they were and even on it’s own would make a nice gesture.

    Home Bargains – Reed Diffusers

    I spotted two different brands of reed diffusers, two different price points with different scents available. The first one I spotted was James & Co Fragrance Reed Diffusers. 100ml in size and scents included French Lavender and Vanilla, each costing only £1.79. The other brand I saw was from Wax Lyrical. 100ml in size and only in one fragrance which was Coastal Breeze. This was a little more pricey at £2.99, but still not particularly expensive.

    James & Co Fragrance Reed Diffuser

    I also spotted two jar candles which looked very appealing. One in the brand of Yankee Candle in different scents. I picked up Cupcake Party. This was a good sized candle (not massive but not small either) and cost only £3.99. The other was Wickford & Co, and these seemed to be cocktail scented. The jars were striking, fun fragrances and only £2.99.

    Wickford & Co jar candles

    There were so many more fragrance products available in both of these stores. But the ones I mentioned grabbed my attention because of price, how they looked, fragrances available and having a sneaky sniff of them made me interested! Pop one of these in a gift bag alone or with something else, and this would be nice gift to receive at the end of the school year.
