  • More Bath & Shower Product Bargains In Boots!

    After discovering some amazingly priced bath, shower and body care products in my local Boots store recently, I couldn’t help visit another store to see what they had to offer. I wasn’t disappointed! I left with a heavier bag than I walked in with but spent less than £3.00! So what did I see, but more importantly, what did I buy?

    Bath & Shower Product Bargains In Boots!
    Cussons Creations Vanilla & Shea Butter Shower Gel

    400ml of a floral, sweet, powdery and clean scented shower gel that can be used in both the shower and the bath. Clearance price 25p.

    Imperial Leather’s Mandarin & Neroli Body Wash

    250ml of a body wash that is fruity but not too sweet. Very refreshing in scent thanks to a citrus undertone. 25p for 250ml.

    Imperial Leather’s Mandarin & Neroli Body Wash
    Palmolive’s Thermal Spa Silky Oil Shower Gel

    400ml of a shower gel fragranced in coconut oil and lavender. This is sweet, tropical-esq in scent, very comforting and soothing. A great product to use at night time to help relax and unwind from the day. 44p.

    Ineos Sea Salt+Blue Lotus Body Wash

    In my local store they only had this in the Mandarin & Sandalwood scent. So it was nice to see Sea Salt + Blue Lotus as a fresher, cleaner and possibly more masculine scent alternative. 75p for 300ml.

    Treacle Moon’s Rouge Love Body Butter & Peace In A Flower Body Scrub

    I saw (and bought!) these when I visited my local store previously and it was good to see them available in other stores. These products smell amazing and are so good on the skin. Still at the clearance price I saw previously which was £1.25 for the body butter and 75p for the body scrub.

    What did I buy?

    Everything except the body butters! Slightly off putting to see a customer opening them all and sniffing them, so it was a no from me to buy these again! So I grabbed another body scrub for a friend, and everything else listed above for my son to use when needed. Overall, I bought (again!) another selection of super affordable products that can be used on a daily basis, so less than £3.00 well spent!

  • New In Home Bargains! I’m Plant Based Body Wash By Original Source

    When you have teenagers in your household, they come with so much stuff! Clothes, trainers, electrical devices AND body care products. I have one teen that has sensitive skin, so I keep products simple and free from colours and fragrance. For my other teen, anything goes, and he seems to like his shower products to be fragrant. So having him in mind, I bought a couple of bottles of I’m Plant Based Body Wash by Original Source from Home Bargains for 79p. So what is this like?

    I’m Plant Based Body Wash By Original Source
    What’s so special about this body wash?

    This body wash has lots of things about it that may make this different to other body care products from Original Source, such as:

    • Paraben free – parabens are chemicals which helps preserve products and lengthens their shelf life.
    • Sulphate free – sulphates help to create foam and helps to make a product an effective cleaner.
    • Fragrance comes from a natural source.

    Some people will find the above appealing when it comes to what they use on their skin, some are less concerned. But having different products available omitting certain ingredients gives people choices and not stuck with the standard offerings.

    Packaging

    335ml of body wash is housed in a plastic flip topped lid bottle. Clear but green in colour with the labelling making a massive point of this product being plant based along with it’s benefits. The look of this ties in well with the Original Source brand but is clearly marketed as a more ‘natural’ product.

    Fragrance

    I’m Plant Based Body Wash comes in the fragrance Cedarwood & Eucalyptus (or at least that’s the only fragrance I saw available). The scent of this body wash is what I would describe as being clean, woody, earthy, herbal and very much has an aromatherapy type smell to it. This would work well for those who want a more masculine type scent and not the typical floral or fruity notes. Do I like it? I would need to be in the mood for this. It’s not a fragrance that’s on top of my list but I would still use it!

    Cost & where to buy

    This cost only 79p from Home Bargains. Probably the cheapest I’ve found any Original Source bath or shower product (minus travel size).

    Worth a purchase?

    Considering the price, amount of product and the brand this comes from, as long as the scent is your type of thing, I would give it a go! So worth checking out your local Home Bargains store to see if they have this in stock, and also to see if there’s other fragrances available too!

  • Glow’s December Bath & Body Subscription Box

    This year hasn’t been a year of subscription boxes for me. Normally I’m a regular buyer of them but less so in 2024 (lets just say it’s been an expensive year!). But I have treated myself to bath, body and home fragrance business Glow’s November AND December Subscription Boxes. I bought November’s because it was Christmas inspired wax melts and December’s because it contained bath and body products, which I’ve been waiting for. So what did I get in December’s box of bath and body goodies?

    Glow’s December Bath & Body Subscription Box
    Jolly Holly Christmas Hand Wash

    A fun alternative to a liquid hand wash in the form of a foaming one. Use in the same was as the traditional version, its just a different consistency. Jolly Holly Christmas Hand Wash is a seasonally fragranced product, scented with red apple, pear rhubarb, nectarine, cinnamon, caramelised sugar and vanilla.

    Silver Sparkle Body Wash

    This body wash looks and sounds special. Firstly, it literally sparkles, thanks to it shimmering with fine silver glitter/pigment. Secondly, the fragrance sounds very earthy and almost aromatherapy based which is lavender, lime, rosemary and eucalyptus. And thirdly, this product is part of Glow’s Lotions and Potions sub range, which focuses on products being chemical free and more naturally based.

    Chocolate Orange Soap Sponge

    Soap sponges are an easy way to wash the body. Already impregnated with soap and fragrance, these are brilliant for everyday use and gifting. The one I received was Chocolate Orange, which is the perfect scent for Winter and Christmas, with its mouth watering chocolate and zesty orange notes.

    Spiced Cocoa Mint Gingerbread Sugar Scrub

    Containing moisturising sweet almond oil and glycerin, this sugar scrub will make a welcome addition to my bathing routine this winter. It looks so inviting with it’s rich, creamy, almost dessert like texture, speckled with fine exfoliating pieces. The fragrance of Spiced Cocoa Mint Gingerbread intrigues me because this is quite a combination of seasonal scents, but will they work together?

    Spiced Cocoa Mint Gingerbread Sugar Scrub
    Spiced Cocoa Mint Gingerbread Bubble Bar

    If you want to go a step further than a bath bomb, a bubble bar is the best product to try. Moisturising, slightly foaming, fragrant, these are one of my favourite bath products ever! And that’s why I was excited to see Spiced Mint Gingerbread Bubble Bar in this subscription box. This is a decent size and could easily provide 2 baths. Perfect partner to use alongside the scrub as they are in the same fragrance.

    Cosy Blanket Room Spray

    Room sprays are a form of home fragrance I’ve been using often over the last few months to provide a quick spritz of fragrance in rooms. Cosy Blanket Room Spray is a mix of vanilla, amber and citrus. So this should be a very comforting and warming fragrance.

    Extras

    Glow’s subscription boxes wouldn’t be a Glow subscription box without extras! The extras included in this months were a Christmas printed scarf, a brooch, a Christmas bell and individually wrapped chocolates and jelly beans.

    First impressions?

    This is a great mix of products for the bath, shower, body and even the home. Fragrances are very festive, all full sized products, products look really inviting in regards to textures and colours and the value of what I’ve received is exceptional! This subscription box cost £25.00 (including p&p) for 6 full sized products, which works out just over £4.00 each. All hand made and packaged with love and care.

    Subscription boxes are limited in availability and once gone are gone, but all the products I’ve mentioned ARE available on Glow’s website here. Literally a one stop shop for all your body, bath and home fragrance needs.

  • Wild Refillable Bath, Body & Hair Products

    Wild is a brand that seems to be making a bit of a splash on the high street. Their natural based deodorants have been a hit. Why? They have reusable packaging and refills to purchase when needed. Great way of cutting out the standard packaging we use one time and then throw away. Not only are their deodorants available from Wild but products products for the hair and body. So what’s currently available?

    Wild’s Refillable/Refills of Shampoos, Conditioners and Body Washes
    Refillable/Refill Shampoos & Conditioners

    Wild have different shampoos and conditioners including Pink Grapefruit & Lime (Rich & Nourishing) for all hair types. Coconut & Vanilla (Strengthen & Repair) for dry and damaged hair. In my local Tesco I only spotted liquid versions of their hair care products, but on Wild’s website they also have shampoo bars which do the same thing but in solid form.

    Wild’s Refillable Coconut & Vanilla Shampoo
    Refillable/Refill Body Washes

    It was the body washes that caught my eye the most because some of the fragrances available sounded amazing. Orange Blossom, Ocean Mist, Cherry Blossom and Fresh Cotton & Sea Salt are all scents I would happily try out. Online there are also bars of soap available, which is great for people who want something more traditional to use.

    Wild’s Cherry Blossom Body Wash Refill
    Why are these products appealing?

    As mentioned, the packaging not being one use plastics is ideal for people who are thinking about the needless materials used and binned everyday. Also, the products are jam packed with natural ingredients with many geared towards adding to the skin (or hair) rather than taking away and stripping it. And if none of these points were enough, lets talk fragrances! Wild’s products aren’t fragranced with the generic scents you find on the market. There’s a mix of fruity, fresh, clean and floral which means everyone can be catered for.

    Let’s talk price

    The cost of these products is totally different to regular deodorants, body washes, shampoos and conditioners. There’s different ways you can buy Wild products to use straight away. For first time use, a refillable will start the ball rolling. On average, a refillable shampoo which gives you the container and 350ml of shampoo costs up to £15.00. All you need after that is a refill which costs up to £7.00 for 350ml. The conditioners and body washes are the same price and size. These are the regular prices in various stores but direct through Wild there are different priced packages you can purchase.

    Recommended?

    I love the fact Wild have branched out into different products. I enjoyed using their Fresh Cotton & Sea Salt travel deodorant and would happily try out other products in their range as well. The initial cost isn’t what normal shoppers are used to when buying these types of products but there’s various promotions available regularly. This is the way products are moving forward. So why not go for products that are great in quality?
