  • October’s Round Up Of Products I Found & Used

    October was a fun month for finding different products on the high street. New season meant lots of autumn inspired items and also winter ones too. From home fragrance, to skincare…I saw lots of products for the face, body and home which were all budget friendly and relatively easy to grab from well known stores on the high street (or online). So what did I find in October?

    October’s Round Up Of Products Found & Used
    Face Facts Skincare Masks In B&M

    A brand that is super affordable is Face Facts. Their products can be found in different stores but their biggest selection of products, including skincare, can be found in B&M. I found skincare face masks in different forms in B&M all under £4.00. Great for a pamper without the expensive.

    Superdrug’s Limited Edition Halloween Fruity Sour Apple Body Mist

    A body mist I’m still enjoying and using, is Superdrug’s Limited Edition Halloween Fruity Sour Apple Body Mist. So fruity, so effervescent and so different! This isn’t the type of scent you will smell regularly that’s why I love it, and it’s not expensive either.

    Face Facts Body Products

    Not only does the brand Face Facts have a massive range of skincare products, but they also have lots of body products too. This includes shower body foams, body butters and body lotions. The collection they have in raspberry ripple fragrance looks very appealing and all under £3.00 each!

    Superdrug’s Limited Edition Halloween Pumpkin Spice Body Mist

    Another limited edition body mist from Superdrug is their Pumpkin Spice Body Mist. This is more of a traditional autumn scent which if you love anything pumpkin you will love this! Spicy, warming with a little musk to it.

    Tiger Moon’s Vanilla Orchid Body Mist

    Anyone who loves vanilla really needs to try Tiger Moon’s Vanilla Orchid Body Mist. Vanilla is one of my favourite scents, and this is a great mix of vanilla and florals which makes my nose very happy. Smells so much more expensive than what it cost, but if this was stronger and lasted longer would be PERFECT!

    Bath & Shower Products To Use This Winter

    There are so many winter inspired fragranced bath and shower products available in Home Bargains, you will be spoilt for choice! From hand washes to shower gels, bath soaks to shower foams, all scented to get us all in the mood for winter.

    Otiginal Source’s Sugared Plum Shower Gel
    Lattafa’s Amethyst Bade’e Al Oud

    I was late catching onto Arabian inspired fragrances, but my son wasn’t! One that he bought for himself was Lattafa’s Amethyst Bade’e Al Oud. A beautifully packaged 100ml fragrance that both men and women can wear. Importantly, this smells amazing, is long lasting and strong.

    These are just a handful of products I’ve spotted on the high street and some I’ve bought and tried out. Did you have any favourite products you grabbed in October?

  • Battle Of The Shower Whips/Foams

    Shower foams have become very popular. Washing our bodies has normally been the job of shower creams, gels, and even the humble soap. But where has this mass influx of shower whips/foams come from? I suspect it’s come from the land of duping. The brand Sundae has their shower foam retailing for around £12.00. Cheaper alternatives from more budget friendly brands has since been available, and now they are everywhere! So what’s currently on the high street in regards to shower whips/foams and how much do they cost?

    Shower Whips/Foams On The High Street
    Sunkissed’s Shower Whip

    This was the first brand that drew comparisons with Sundae’s shower foams. Sunkissed’s Shower Whips are available in various shops, included discount stores Home Bargains and B&M. Great selection of fragrances including Strawberry Swirl, Pistachio & Salted Caramel and Sweet Vanilla. 250ml for £2.49.

    Daisee’s Foaming Body Wash

    This is a brand that is stocked in places including Tesco and Superdrug. Their foaming body wash comes in Pineapple, Vanilla, Pomegranate and Coconut. Very tropical fragrances which will suit people who like their fragrances on the fruity side. £4.99 for 265ml.

    Original Source’s 2in1 Shower & Shave Foam

    This shower foam has been around for a long time, so one of the originals when it comes to this type of product. It comes in a variety of different fragrances, including Lemon & Tea Tree. The fragrances are a little more traditional compared to the newer brands, but still as a body care product reliable. Costs from £1.99 for 200ml (available from various stores on the high street).

    Original Source’s 2in1 Shower & Shave Foam
    Dove’s Shower Mousse

    Moisturising, non stripping and as a brand known for having products fragranced in a clean and fresh scent. Dove’s Shower Mousse is another shower foam that’s been on the market for a long time so well loved and trusted. Costs from £2.25 for 200ml (available from various stores on the high street).

    Dove’s Shower Mousse
    Face Facts Foam Body Wash

    Available in B&M is foaming body wash from Face Facts in raspberry ripple fragrance. This appeals to me fragrance wise, packaging, and price point which is only £2.59.

    Face Facts Foam Body Wash
    Get Up & Glow’s Shower Foam

    I’ve only seen this brand stocked in Tesco, so not too sure if this is available anywhere else. But Get Up & Glow had 2 different fragranced shower foams available in my local Tesco. One was Caramel, Pistachio and Vanilla. The other Plum, Vanilla & Musk. Packaging is simple but bright. Price? Expensive compared to others which is £7.00 for 250ml.

    Get Up & Glow’s Shower Foam

    These are just a few shower foams/whips I’ve found on the high street. Are there more? Yes there are! But this gives you an idea on price points, packaging, fragrances and where these products are available if you want to purchase them yourself.

  • Affordable Bath & Shower Products In Home Bargains To Use This Winter!

    Products we use on the body can vary from season to season. Lighter textures maybe used in summer, richer consistencies in winter. Fresh and clean scents in spring but maybe more tropical, fruity of floral fragrances in summer. Fragrance is a massive thing which a lot of people change for different seasons. I’ve spotted body care products in Home Bargains that have winter in mind because of their fragrances. So what did I find?

    Affordable Bath & Shower Products In Home Bargains To Use This Winter
    Original Source’s Sugar Plum Shower

    If a shower gel in the fragrance of Sugar Plum doesn’t say winter, nothing else will! It should be fruity, sweet and the fact the shower gel is purple in colour has me sold! 99p for 250ml.

    Original Source’s Sugar Plum Shower
    Original Source’s Spiced Pumpkin Shower

    Probably more an autumn fragrance but still carries well into winter. Anything pumpkin is warming and cosy, and Spiced Pumpkin in this shower gel formulation should do just the same. 99p for 250ml.

    Original Source’s Spice Pumpkin Shower
    Imperial Leather’s Cherry & Snow Blossom Hand Wash

    Limited edition, Cherry & Snow Blossom is on the shelves ready to use this winter. What I like is the fact this comes in a hand wash, shower gel, foam body wash and bath wash. So you have a variety of different products to choose from to suit your need, all in the same fragrance. In the hand wash formulation, it’s a generous size of 500ml at a good price of £1.49.

    Imperial Leather’s Cherry & Snow Blossom Hand Wash
    Astonish Honeyed Fig & Almond Shower Gel

    Fruity, sweet and comforting is what springs to mind with a fragrance of Honeyed Fig & Almond. This comes in a shower gel, bath soak and hand wash. 89p for 250ml.

    Astonish’s Honeyed Fig & Almond Shower Gel
    Carex Festive Edition Frosted Eucalyptus & Cedar Bath & Shower Gel

    Lots of the winter fragranced products are on the sweeter, fruiter side, but not Carex’s Festive Edition Frosted Eucalyptus & Cedar Bath & Shower Gel. It’s a fresher, earthy slightly cooling fragrance which is probably more traditional for the winter season. 99p for 500ml.

    Carex Festive Edition Frosted Eucalyptus & Cedar Bath & Shower Gel

    So out with the tropical fruity fragrances of summer and in strolls in the autumn and winter fragrances ready for a more cosy time period. Personally, I can’t wait!

  • 4 Items In Home Bargains To Buy For Under £1.50

    Finding affordable bath, body and skincare products, if you love them, is like Christmas coming early. It is for me! As someone who has a bath every evening, I love adding different products in it. Skincare lover? I like switching up my skincare routine occasionally or slotting in a new product. Even better, finding a product I normally use but at a reduced price. And as for body care, who doesn’t love different textured and fragranced formulas that cleans or moisturise the skin on the body? So I recently found 4 products in Home Bargains, 2 for the face and 2 for the bath, each under £1.50. So what did I find?

    4 Items In Home Bargains To Buy For Under £1.50
    Face Facts Ceramide Repairing Serum

    Face Facts is a budget friendly brand I’ve found online, in Tesco and other discount stores. Their Ceramide Reparing Serum isn’t an expensive product and can usually be purchased for £2.00. But in Home Bargains it’s £1.49, which is even better on the pocket! Designed to help maintain the moisture content in the skin while adding to it, and protects the skin. Fragrance free, ideal for sensitive skin and easily can be slotted into any skincare routine.

    Face Facts Ceramide Repairing Serum Cream
    Simple’s Soothing Water Cream

    The brand Simple is a go to for anyone that wants effective but ‘simple’ formulas, especially those with sensitive skin. This moisturiser is meant to provide not only moisture to the skin, but soothe and calm it, giving it a fresher and well hydrated look. 50ml for only £1.29.

    Simple’s Soothing Water Cream
    Bubble Up’s Bath Bomb

    These bath bombs from this brand don’t seem to be readily available on the high street anymore. But for only 69p , these are incredibly affordable. Decent size, slight shimmer to the bath bomb and nicely packaged, so great for gift giving.

    Bubble Up’s Bath Bomb
    Bubble Up’s Bath Bar

    I’ve used Bubble Up’s Bath Bars before and really enjoyed them. I found them to be surprisingly very moisturising on the skin, enjoyable and fun to use. The version I found was in Sail Away With Me, which is fragranced in sea fennel and eucalyptus. So hopefully this should be very fresh in scent, slightly earthy and aromatherapy like. Price? Only 69p!

    Bubble Up’s Sail Away With Me Bubble Bath Bar

    Have you spotted any of these in your local Home Bargains? I think these are great products at great prices. But as always, who knows how long these will be in stock for, so grab while you can!
