  • New In Home Bargains!

    My beady bargain loving eyes have been combing through the aisles of Home Bargains, ready to find anything new for the face and body. Something new always comes into store and usually at a very affordable price. So what have I seen recently?

    New finds in Home Bargains

    Foamie Shower Body Bar

    Foamie’s Shower Body Bar is a posh looking bar of soap containing ingredients including calendula and chamomile, cocoa seed butter, coconut oil and sweet almond oil. They come in a variety of different fragrances with varying ingredients. 79p each but from other retailers can cost up to £6.00.

    Derma V10 Lip Oils

    I spotted two versions of Derma V10’s lip oils in coconut and mango. Ingredients included are coconut oil, shea butter and Vitamin E. These lip oil’s look really interesting, moisturising and very affordable. They cost only 99p.

    XHC Nourishing Hair Oil

    Containing argan oil, Vitamin E and other moisturising oils, XHC’s Nourishing Hair Oil seems like a a product that could be used for people with dry scalp and hair. Hair oils can be quite expensive, but this 50ml bottle costs only £1.49.

    So these are a few of the new products I’ve seen in Home Bargains. All are inexpensive ranging from 79p up to £1.49. Have I purchased any of these? No. I don’t personally need them. But the Foamie Shower Body Bar looks great for gifting and so does the Derma V10 Lip Oils.

  • How Much Have These Products Gone Up In Price?

    Nobody is surprised how much everyday items have gone up in price over the last few years. It’s getting to the point where it’s now the norm, not just in the UK but worldwide. This made me think, how many products have gone up in price that I’ve bought and reviewed? And by how much?

    Aldi’s Lacura Moisturising Face Wash

    When I first tried and reviewed Aldi’s Lacura Moisturising Face Wash, this budget friendly skincare product was only 99p. Since then, it’s gone up to £1.15, which isn’t too bad, but it still costs more. It’s a product I still buy and myself and my children use it because the formulation is gentle, fragrance free and does the job.

    Aldi’s Lacura Moisturising Face Wash
    Lidl’s Lovely Eau de Parfum

    Nicely packaged, beautifully scented and only cost £4.45 in 2022, Lidl’s Lovely Eau de Parfum was a great buy at the time. I really enjoyed using this supermarket fragrance and I was actually complimented when wearing this. How much does it cost now? £5.65. £1.20 more compared to 2 years ago.

    Lidl’s Suddenly Fragrances Lovely
    Something actually costs less! Aldi’s Lacura Moisturising Hand Cream

    I bought Aldi’s Lacura Moisturising Hand Cream because the formulation sounded moisturising and soothing, and similar to products within the Aveeno brand. The price point of 69p for 75ml was a brilliant price. Fast forward to now, and housed in a different looking tube, this costs 10p less at 59p!

    Aldi’s Lacura Spa Foaming Bath Soak & Luxury Bath Float

    I first purchased Aldi’s Lacura Spa Foaming Bath Soak & Luxury Bath Float back in 2021. These were great sizes, nicely packaged and dupes of the brand Sanctuary Spa. For £1.79 each these were great value and also performed well in the bath. How much are they now? £2.45. Yes…£2.45!

    Aldi’s Lacura Spa Luxury Bath Float & Foaming Bath Soak

    So inflation, cost of living, whatever you want to call it has hit EVERYTHING! Which is why it’s important to get the most of your money when it comes to the products you buy.

  • What’s New In Home Bargains

    The lure of buying new skincare, fragrance, bath and body products is a strong one. But if you’re going to have a little splurge on yourself or on others, try and make it as affordable as possible. I’m always on the look out for new products on the high street but I don’t want to make expensive purchases. So what have I found that’s affordable recently in Home Bargains?

    New Finds in Home Bargains
    Treacle Moon’s Creamy Shea Butterfly Bath Salts

    I love the brand Treacle Moon. It’s normally found in certain places but not everywhere. Their products are budget friendly, great quality and enjoyable to use. Finding their bath salts in Home Bargains nearly gave me a heart attack because they were priced so low (£1.99), they look pampering and perfect for gifting. Not to mention they come in a glass jar which is reusable and easy on the eye.

    Calcot Spa’s Smoothing Body Scrub

    For only 99p, this orange and wild rose scented body scrub from Calcot Spa grabbed my attention as I’ve only ever spotted it in Tesco. The cheapest price I’ve ever seen this for was £2.00. So for 99p this is a steal!

    Calcot Spa’s Pamper Bliss Smoothing Body Scrub
    Calcot Spa’s Soothing Bath Soak

    The perfect partner to their Body Scrub, Calcot Spa’s Peaceful Sleep Soothing Bath Soak looks like it’s made for relaxation. Fragrance wise this includes spiced ginger and bergamot orange. I can imagine this being a very comforting bath product. A great size of 500ml, this costs, like the scrub, only 99p.

    Face Fact’s Wonder Cream

    Face Facts Wonder Cream is designed to give the skin hydration and a healthy glow and natural smoothness to the skin. Normally £7.99 on the Face Facts website, in Home Bargains it’s currently £3.99 for 50ml.

    Face Fact’s Wonder Cream

    No wonder no one can go into this shop and buy just the one thing! Too many products and not enough time to try them all out….and I haven’t mentioned ALL the new products I’ve found (watch out for the next post). Such a great selection of budget friendly skin, bath and body products!

  • New Products I Found In Home Bargains

    Shoppers who love the discount store Home Bargains will know that they stock various different brands under one roof. Especially where bath, body, fragrance and skincare products are concerned. It’s always worth looking mainly on their 1st aisle for these because in the middle of the staple everyday products they have on their shelves, you can find one off products which are sold cheaper than the rrp price. So have I seen anything that’s made me want to take out my credit card recently?

    Home Bargains new finds!
    Designer Fragrances Body Wash

    Designer Fragrances are a brand which are known for creating their own version of designer fragrances in their body mists and sprays. Not to mention they have home and car fragrance products too! Designer Fragrances now have added body washes to their list of products. They come in a variety of fragrances including Tu Est Belle, Xalien and Our Way. 250ml in size and 99p each.

    Kate Somerville’s DermalQuench Liquid Lift

    Kate Somerville’s DermalQuench Liquid Lift targets fine lines and wrinkles, the texture of the skin, skin tone and moisture. This product is designed to improve all of these things, leaving the skin looking fresher, firmer, brighter and more youthful. This product has been in the store for a few weeks but I’ve noticed the stock has been in and out within that time. So if you haven’t been lucky to grab one so far, keep your eyes peeled just in case! £2.99 for 15ml.

This mask is meant to be left on and not washed off, so ideal to use as an overnight treatment. The Anti-Stress Clay Mask is more for those who suffer from break outs and need their skin to be calmer. Each mask costs 69p for 89ml.
