  • New Skincare In Home Bargains!

    Some people love skincare and enjoy using products. Some people buy and use it because it’s part of a daily routine. I’m definitely the person who loves it, but I also appreciate the fact everyone’s budget and needs are different when it comes to skincare. Not everyone has the disposable income to spend on luxury lotions and potions, or even want to. So cheaper alternatives are welcome. I had a walk down first aisle in Home Bargains to see what new products they had and how much they were. So what did I find?

    New skincare in Home Bargains
    Beelicious Cleansing Jelly

    I’ve never heard of this brand before. I don’t even know how good it is but Beelicious will appeal to some people. This brand/range includes a Honey & Squalene Cleansing Jelly. Not much on the packaging information wise on the product. But I assume it’s designed to be a non-stripping, hydrating, gentle but effective cleanser. £3.99 for 200ml.

    Beelicious Face Serum

    This serum should be easy to slot into any skincare routine. The Beelicious Face Serum seems to have some soothing ingredients in this (aloe vera, honey) which should also hydrate. I don’t think it’s geared towards anti-ageing or specific skin concerns so quite generic. £2.49 for 50ml.

    Beelicious Vitamin C & Niacinamide Face Cream

    Containing vitamin c and niacinamide, these ingredients can help give skin a glow by improving the texture and tone of it. So this Vitamin C & Niacinamide Face Cream should not only moisturise but help the skin look healthier. £2.99 for 50ml.

    Revolution Skin’s Medowfoam Milk Oil Cleanser

    This isn’t a recent new edition to the shelves of Home Bargains, but I thought for the brand and price it was still worth a mention. Revolution Skin’s Medowfoam Milk Oil Cleanser looks great for those who like a more luxurious cleanser and possibly have a more drier skin type. Great to use as a general cleanser but also a make-up remover, whilst leaving the skin clean, soft and smooth. £1.59 for 200ml.

    Whind Brightening Overnight Eye Mask

    Whind Brightening Overnight Eye Mask is an eye product that aims to brighten the under eye area, help with puffiness and smooth out this area. With ingredients to help with these results such as caffeine, meadowfoam seed oil, reishi mushroom and niacinamide. £3.99 for for 15ml.

    Whind’s Eye Mask

    Did any of these grab my attention? Price points were good, loved the packaging but the only product I’m drawn to is Revolution Skin’s Medowfoam Milk Oil Cleanser. I don’t just like it because of the low price point but I like the sound of the cleanser in general. It’s also a brand I know with a decent set of ingredients.

  • Garnier’s SkinActive Moisture Bomb Eye Sheet Mask

    Seasonal weather changes can cause havoc on my skin, especially on my under eye area. I use an eye cream everyday but sometimes I need something to slot into my skincare routine, hoping it will perk up my under eyes. I’ve dragged out of my skincare stash Garnier’s SkinActive Moisture Bomb Eye Sheet Mask bought a few months ago from Home Bargains for 69p to see if this will help. Is this any good?

    What does this eye mask supposed to do?

    Garnier’s SkinActive Moisture Bomb Eye Mask is to help relieve the look and feel of puffy and tired eyes, keeping them hydrated and appearing and feeling smoother.

    Ingredients

    Some ingredients included in this eye mask are glycerin, coconut water, hyaluronic acid and green tea.

    What does this look like?

    Garnier’s SkinActive Moisture Bomb Eye Sheet Mask is shaped like a full eye mask so comes in one full piece. The mask covers above and below the eye and the bridge of the nose, leaving holes for the eyes. The material is identical to most tissue facial skincare masks on the market.

    How to use

    Place the eye mask over cleansed skin and wear for 15 minutes. Any excess serum dab lightly around the eye area, don’t rinse off. For a more cooling effect place this in the fridge before use.

    In use

    Taking the eye mask out of it’s little packet, it was moist and fully soaked in serum, but not dripping. Very easy to put on and adjust around the eye area. What I loved about this was the instant cooling sensation this gave. My eyes have felt very tired and heavy, especially with the change in weather, and this was bliss! The fact this stayed in place without budging made using this even more easier and enjoyable. Just to add this mask had no scent to it as it was fragrance free.

    I had this eye mask on for around 15 minutes, removed it and found it was still very damp. My eye area still felt very cool and hydrated. I did feel though after awhile my eyes needed more moisture as I could feel it sucked in all of the serum from the eye mask and was still thirsty. But my eyes did look, slightly (just slightly) fresher.

    Recommended?

    What I wanted from this product was for my under eyes to look and feel better. Did they look better? Slightly but barely noticeable, which is fine. I wasn’t expecting miracles. What really impressed me was how this eye mask made my eyes feel. Relaxed, soothed, comforted and cooled. It wasn’t just my under eyes that needed a little help it was also around the eye lids too. And this mask helped, even if it was a temporary fix. So if you want an eye pamper for the whole eye area, because they’re tired and possibly suffering from stress, hay fever or lack of sleep, this needs to be tried! This is one product I will repeat purchase in the future.

    This eye sheet mask is available from most places on the high street, such as Boots, Superdrug and many supermarkets,so good availability, although NOT at the Home Bargains price of 69p unfortunately!
