  • New Products I Found In Home Bargains!

    Anyone that is into their personal care, likes skincare products, body care items or even make-up will always enjoy a walk in Home Bargains. You never know what product or brand you may see sat on a shelf. So it’s always worth a look too see what they have for sale. I found a few products in stock which perked my interest. Some new in, some have been available for a while, but all worth a mention. So what did I find?

    What’s available in Home Bargains?

  • 3 Baccarat Rouge Dupes You Might Want To Buy

    Who doesn’t love a good fragrance dupe? They might be similar in scent to the originals but not in the price tag. I’ve found 3 products for the body that are the designer Baccarat Rouge fragrance dupes. So what are they?

    Baccarat Rouge Dupes for the body

    Containing coconut oil, shea butter, jasmine flower and macadamia oil, Treacle Moon’s Rough Love Story Body Butter is designed to be fragrant and moisturising.

    Designer Fragrances Rouge Body Mist

    Designer Fragrances is a brand well known for their ‘inspired by’ range of body sprays, mists, hand washes and other products for the body and the home. Included in their body mist products is Rouge. Simple, but nicely packaged, great size of 250ml and only £2.99 in Home Bargains.

    Designer Fragrances Rouge Body Mist

    What I Iove is the fact these designer fragrance inspired scents can be found in a variety of different products, not just the typical perfumes, body mists or body sprays. These are great gift ideas to give to someone who loves particular fragrances and perfect for everyday use because of their affordability. These three products aren’t expensive, very affordable with two you can grab from the high street and one online.

  • The Dupe Brand Designer Fragrances in Home Bargains

    Dupes are now part of everyday shopping. Skincare, bath and body products, fragrance and even home fragrance products now resemble the scents and even packaging of well known branded items. One collection of products that is known for being ‘inspired by’ is Designer Fragrances. Their products can be found in a variety of different stores including Home Bargains. But what do they have available?

    Designer Fragrances Products In Home Bargains
    Hand washes

    Hand washes are available to purchase. Each one 500ml, coming in a standard plastic (clear) bottle with pump action dispenser. These are great looking hand washes that would fit into any bathroom or toilet.

    Hand washes
    Body Washes (Men & Female)

    Its great to see that not only are there body washes for women in this range, but also for men as well. The men’s versions look a little more masculine in their simple but practical bottles where as the women’s looks a little softer, more feminine aesthetically.

    Women’s body washes
    Men’s body washes
    Body Mists & Sprays

    For the women there are two types of fragrances available. One is the body spray, the other is a body mist. The body spray is smaller, more basic in look and costs only 99p. The body mists are bigger (250ml), more striking look wise and costs £2.99.

    Women’s body sprays and mists

    For the men there’s the body sprays. Chunkier, geared more towards guys look wise, these come in 150ml sizes with the fragrances matching the body washes. £1.49 each.

    Men’s body sprays
    Fragrances available-women’s

    Some of the fragrances available instore are:

    Tu Es Belle – iris, jasmine & patchouli.

    Oure Way – vanilla, orange blossom and sandalwood.

    Daisee – jasmine and wild berries

    Xalien – amber & jasmine.

    Fragrances available – men’s

    One Billion – amber & cinnamon.

    Savore – oriental tones & mandarin.

    Lite Blu – Musk, orange, grapefruit and juniper.

    Home fragrance products

    There’s also a variety of different fragrance products in many of the above fragrances for the car and home, which means you can get fragrance hits not just for the body but for rooms and spaces too.

    Thoughts?

    This range has been on the high street for a couple of years now. In my household we’ve used the women’s and men’s body sprays. I’ve found the prices of Designer Fragrances products are affordable, all decent packaging and all smell great. Longevity for the products I’ve used has been ok but you get what you pay for. The price means reapplying or reusing the products regularly is no major issue. Are these accurate dupes? The ones I’ve used definitely are similar to the ‘real’ scents but as stand alone fragrances these are great regardless.

  • New! Affordable Fragrances in Tesco!

    One of the best places to go for EVERYTHING has got to be a supermarket. It’s a one stop shop for food to clothing, electricals to plants and make-up to fragrance. What I like about the fragrance side of things is how you can pick up more affordable fragrance products thanks to supermarkets having a variety of different brands with different price points. I’ve just spotted something new in my local Tesco from a brand called Skin Saints. 12 different fragrances in eau de parfum formulas. So what do they have?

    Affordable Fragrances in Tesco from Skin Saints
    Dark Flowers

    A heavier, darker fragrance with notes of ylang ylang, exotic orchid and black truffle. This sounds like a perfect fragrance for night time wearing.

    Gold

    A mix of amber and spice which should be warming and slightly woody in scent.

    Cerise

    Cherry and almond blossom based fragrance, which makes me think this will be a fruity, floral fragrance with a slight sweetness to it.

    Santal

    Sandalwood and warm spice is Santal. Could this be a more masculine fragrance with its woody and spicy notes?

    Tuscany

    This DEFINITLY sounds like a manly fragrance of soft leather and saffron. This combination sounds like a traditional scent for someone who wants a more predictable, masculine fragrance to wear.

    Miss Paris

    A slightly flirty sounding fragrance with floral and light iris with the added depth of patchouli.

    Wild

    Fresh, clean, energising and zesty is what I think the fragrance Wild could be, as its made up of citrus and amber.

    Principle

    Another woody based fragrance. Principle is made up of bergamot and cedar.

    Passion

    Jasmine and tonka makes Passion seems like a rich floral with a slightly vanilla-esq undertone.

    Rouge

    A deep, heavier woody, musky scent with possibly spicy undertones is potentially what the fragrance Rouge smells like.

    Millie

    Light, fruity and floral fragrance made up of golden peach and jasmine. Millie sounds like a very pretty, feminine scent perfect for Spring and Summer use.

    Flower Chain

    Flower Chain scent wise is white violet and sandalwood, so another floral scent with depth and woody musk behind it.

    First impressions?

    This is an impressive selection of fragrances. 12 fragrances which from their name and what they’re made up of sound very different to each other which means variety. I love the simplicity of how they’re packaged, all the same but different colours and patterns on the boxes. And the price? At full price (£8.00 for 100ml) this is great value for an eau de parfum formula. Do I find these new fragrances appealing? Yes I do. Am I going to buy one? Most definitely…so watch this space!

    P.S Did I mention these are supposed to be dupes of well known designer fragrances? My interest in these continues….
