  • New Body Products In Lidl!

    I don’t visit my local Lidl as often as I used to. Purely for the reasons of saving time and money if I’m honest! But I did go in last week to pick up a few items and found they had new body and skincare products available. So what did I find for the body and how much did they cost?

    New Body Care Products In Lidl!
    D’Avignon Cherry Blossom Body Lotion (Lidl own brand)

    This is the product that grabbed my attention first because it’s a L’Occitane en Provence dupe. 250ml of a floral, pretty scented body lotion which includes shea butter (second ingredient in the list so a good percentage included) and glycerin. This is marketed as a fragrant, light weight but moisturising product for the body. £3.99.

    Zen Botanics Luxury Handwash

    I saw only one fragrance of this hand wash, which was White Tea & Lotus Flower. The fragrance sounds clean, a little zesty but floral as well (bergamot, orange flower and grapefruit). This would be a great scent ready for spring and summer, and comes in a 245ml pump action bottle. £2.99.

    Zen Luxury Hand Lotion

    Perfect partner to the hand wash, as it comes in White Tea & Lotus and Jujube & Sacred Lotus. Both contain shea butter and glycerin so should be moisturising and protecting on the hands, especially after hand washing. Packaging wise, nicely presented but doesn’t quite match the hand wash in appearance. £2.99 for 195ml.

    Price promotions?

    Although these are priced very affordably, at the time of writing this post all three of these products were on a buy one get one free promotion, which is amazing! Great way to try new products, gift or to put away for future use.

    First impressions?

    These seem like a nice range of products. Packaging wise I think the body lotion looks the best, it looks more expensive than it is. The other products look ok but less memorable.

    The ingredients are what you would hope for and probably expect from products that cost more e.g shea butter, so good formulations.

    Overall, I’m happy to see these products sat on the shelves of Lidl. Would I buy any of these? Probably the body lotion! The scent (one was open I had a sniff!), the packaging and the amount of product were all ticks for me and I might need to go and buy it!

  • I Found These In Home Bargains!

    As usual I’ve spotted a few things sat on the shelves in Home Bargains that have grabbed my attention. Most people don’t want to spend more than they have to these days thanks to the cost of living, and I don’t blame them. And why should they? If you’re looking for bath, body and skincare products on a budget, you may want to look out for these items in your local Home Bargains store:

    New in Home Bargains
    Wax Lyrical’s Exotic Fig Hand Wash

    I’m more familiar with the home fragrance side of the brand Wax Lyrical, but their Exotic Fig Hand Wash looks like a good item for the bathroom or kitchen. Great size, good fragrance (I smelt it!) and totally different compared to other hand washes sat on the same shelf in store. Only 99p for 300ml.

    Wax Lyrical’s Exotic Fig Hand Wash
    Wax Lyrical’s Rose Bud Hand Lotion

    Like the Exotic Fig Hand Wash, Rose Bud Hand Lotion looks very appealing. This, along with the hand wash, would make a good gift idea, especially teacher gifts considering the time of year we are in. An affordable, practical product that would be used daily and looks nice where ever it sits. 99p for 300ml.

    Sanctuary Spa’s Hand Lotion

    Sanctuary Spa is known as a brand for luxurious bath and body products, and this hand lotion looks just as pampering and easy on the eye as the rest of their range. 250ml of hand lotion containing shea butter and bamboo extract costs only £2.49.

    Sanctuary Spa’s Hand Lotion
    Dr Paw Paw’s Shimmer Balm

    Fragrance free, containing natural ingredients and suitable for lips, body and face is Dr Paw Paw’s Shimmer Balm. Did I mention this has a subtle shimmer when applied onto the skin? £2.25 for 25ml.

    Bespoke London’s Mens Fragrances

    Over the past week I’ve seen up to 4 different fragrances from Bespoke London in Home Bargains. All fragrances have sounded gorgeous including Caramel, Amber & Cashmere and Sweet Spice & Sandalwood. Their packaging is simple but stylish, with each fragrance costing only 99p for 150ml.

    Have you seen any of these products instore and have you bought any? No surprise here…I have!
