  • Affordable Bath & Shower Products In Home Bargains To Use This Winter!

    Products we use on the body can vary from season to season. Lighter textures maybe used in summer, richer consistencies in winter. Fresh and clean scents in spring but maybe more tropical, fruity of floral fragrances in summer. Fragrance is a massive thing which a lot of people change for different seasons. I’ve spotted body care products in Home Bargains that have winter in mind because of their fragrances. So what did I find?

    Affordable Bath & Shower Products In Home Bargains To Use This Winter
    Original Source’s Sugar Plum Shower

    If a shower gel in the fragrance of Sugar Plum doesn’t say winter, nothing else will! It should be fruity, sweet and the fact the shower gel is purple in colour has me sold! 99p for 250ml.

    Original Source’s Sugar Plum Shower
    Original Source’s Spiced Pumpkin Shower

    Probably more an autumn fragrance but still carries well into winter. Anything pumpkin is warming and cosy, and Spiced Pumpkin in this shower gel formulation should do just the same. 99p for 250ml.

    Original Source’s Spice Pumpkin Shower
    Imperial Leather’s Cherry & Snow Blossom Hand Wash

    Limited edition, Cherry & Snow Blossom is on the shelves ready to use this winter. What I like is the fact this comes in a hand wash, shower gel, foam body wash and bath wash. So you have a variety of different products to choose from to suit your need, all in the same fragrance. In the hand wash formulation, it’s a generous size of 500ml at a good price of £1.49.

    Astonish Honeyed Fig & Almond Shower Gel

    Fruity, sweet and comforting is what springs to mind with a fragrance of Honeyed Fig & Almond. This comes in a shower gel, bath soak and hand wash. 89p for 250ml.

    Astonish’s Honeyed Fig & Almond Shower Gel
    Carex Festive Edition Frosted Eucalyptus & Cedar Bath & Shower Gel

    Lots of the winter fragranced products are on the sweeter, fruiter side, but not Carex’s Festive Edition Frosted Eucalyptus & Cedar Bath & Shower Gel. It’s a fresher, earthy slightly cooling fragrance which is probably more traditional for the winter season. 99p for 500ml.

    Carex Festive Edition Frosted Eucalyptus & Cedar Bath & Shower Gel

    So out with the tropical fruity fragrances of summer and in strolls in the autumn and winter fragrances ready for a more cosy time period. Personally, I can’t wait!

  • Halloween Home Fragrance Products In Home Bargains

    Halloween isn’t just about trick or treat, costumes and decorations. It’s also about home decor and home fragrance products as well. It’s grown more and more over the years. Products available now are practical, eye catching, fun and hopefully smell nice too! Here’s what I found in Home Bargains for Halloween:

    Halloween Home Fragrance Products In Home Bargains
    Candles

    Candles are probably the easiest choice home fragrance products to pick up. There’s so many Halloween inspired candles that any candle lover will be spoilt for choice. The ones that caught my eye the most were the Scents of Salem range. Clear glass jars that are lidded, and they come in Spooky Vanilla, Wicked Pumpkin and Creeping it Real. Medium in size, great looking candles and only £2.99.

    Candles!
    Wax melt collections

    These were available last year, but still just as fun and good value. Airpure’s Wax Melt Potions Book contains wax melts in the fragrance of: Trick or Treat (Spiced Pumpkin). Nice Lives (Gingerbread). Witches’ Brew (Vanilla Treat). Boo (Marshmallow). Full Moon (Flora Enchantment). Black Magic (Toffee Apple). These can be used singularly or mixed together and provides up to 200 hours of fragrance. £1.99.

    Wax melt warmers

    A winner every year is the pumpkin shaped ceramic wax melt warmers. With ‘carved’ faces on the front, decent size on the top to house the wax melt. And comes in orange and black, these are simple but striking. £1.49 each.

    Wax warmers
    Reed diffusers

    New for this year are these adorably cute reed diffusers. These come in simple white ghost shapes and black reeds. Ghostly Vanilla has an orange pumpkin on the front of it and comes in an orange box. Spooky Citrus has the word BOO! on the front in black, and comes in a black box. £2.99 each.

    Reed diffusers

    These are just a few of what’s available in Home Bargains for their Halloween season in home fragrance products. If you love Halloween and home fragrance products, it might be worth a visit to your local store!

  • La Roche-Posay In Home Bargains?

    Home Bargains is one of those stores you never know what they will have in stock. From cleaning to home decor, food to stationary, they stock such a variety of different products and brands, no wonder you don’t go in and buy just one thing! One area that I’m always excited about is their aisle that has skincare products on it. Yes, they have their own products. And familiar brands you grab from many high street stores. But they also can have some impressive brands on the shelves too from time to time, such as La Roche-Posay. Social media has been going a little made about the fact Home Bargains has been stocking La Roche-Posay’s Double Repair Face Moisturiser. But why?

    La Roche-Posay’s Double Repair Face Moisturiser
    What is La Roche-Posay?

    La Roche-Posay are a skin and body care brand that delivers a range of products for all different skin concerns. From sensitive to oily, dry to ageing. Moisturisers to sun cream. Their formulations are loved and recognised by customers but also the skincare community. La Roche-Posay products are available on the high street, but these aren’t budget products. Cleansers can cost around £25.00, facial sun creams the same and serums between £40.00 and £50.00!

    What product is available in Home Bargains?

    Currently it’s just the one, and it’s La Roche-Posay’s Double Repair Face Moisturiser. This can suit all skin types, which includes sensitive. La Roche-Posay’s Double Repair Face Moisturiser is a light weight but highly moisturising facial moisturiser. Containing glycerin, ceramides and niacinamide, this is a gentle but effective product that provides protection and hydration to the skin.

    Price?

    The rrp of this product starts at £20.00. Home Bargains price? Only £4.99!

    Is this worth buying?

    If you already use this product then of course, buy them all! Or you’re interested in the brand and want to try it in the most affordable way, this is ideal, as it’s full size (40ml). In all honesty, to buy a decent quality facial moisturiser can cost this same price point. And with it being suitable for different skin types it’s worth a go. I probably wouldn’t buy this for pre-teens or younger teens because most of the time they don’t need anything fancy. But for the majority of us, could be a good buy. One word of warning though. If this is a product you find you love and want to repeat purchase, be prepared to spend 3 or 4 times the cost. At some point you will run out and so will Home Bargains. Great buy at a great price.

  • Everything Pumpkin Scented For Your Home in Home Bargains & B&M

    I’ve been keeping an eye on the high street for more autumn scented home fragrance products to hit the shelves. FINALLY, over the last week or so I’ve noticed a clear autumn feel, perfect for those who like to change their home fragrances seasonally. I’ve visited TK Maxx and Primark to see what they had pumpkin scented, and decided to see what Home Bargains and B&M had available in the same fragrance family. So what do they have?

    Pumpkin Scented Home Fragrance Products in Home Bargains & B&M
    Home Bargains
    Pumpkin Chai Wax Melt

    This particular one, Pumpkin Chai, was available last year, so clearly a popular scent. I can’t recall whether I’ve tried this one in the past, but it’s a little different from the usual pumpkin inspired scents on the high street. 99p for 100g.

    Pumpkin Chai Wax Melt
    Pumpkin Chai Reed Diffuser

    If you’re a fan of the Pumpkin Chai scent, why not double up with the wax melt AND reed diffuser? Reed diffusers are handy to provide fragrance in areas where you can’t access electricity or use a tea light. 100ml in size, nicely packaged and only £3.99.

    Pumpkin Chai Reed Diffuser
    Pumpkin Pecan Waffle Reed Diffuser

    Although I couldn’t get a whiff of this, I’m hoping Pumpkin Pecan Waffle as a scent will be quite sweet, almost bakery like, which sounds good to me! Probably a little more country style in packaging compared to the Pumpkin Chai Reed Diffuser, but still looks good. Designed to provide fragrance for up to 14 weeks. £3.99.

    B&M
    Air Wick’s Pumpkin Spice Automatic Spray

    Pumpkin Spice is quite a typical scent for this time of year and comes in many forms. This comes in a spray dispenser which is activated at certain intervals. Ideal for those who just want to have a home fragrance product that releases fragrance all by itself, no fuss. Provides up to 70 days of fragrance. Costs £6.99.

    Air Wick’s Pumpkin Spice Automatic Spray
    Glade’s Pumpkin Spice Latte Plug In

    Containing one refill and one plug in, this set home fragrance product will provide a hit of autumnal fragrance while not costing too much. Refills can be expensive. These sets can be costly, but this retails for £3.99 which isn’t bad at all!

    Glade’s Pumpkin Spice Latte Plug In
    Air Wick’s Pumpkin Spice Reed Diffuser

    If plug ins or automatic sprays aren’t your thing, a reed diffuser might be. Pumpkin Spice, again, is by Air Wick. With this being a well known brand that delivers different home fragrance products, there’s a sense of reliability. Provides up to 4 weeks of fragrance. Costs £3.49.

    Air Wick’s Pumpkin Spice Reed Diffuser

    I found these pumpkin scented home fragrance products recently. But with stores ramping up their autumn ranges, I’m confident there’s even more on the shelves as I type! But if you love pumpkin as a scent, or purely wanting to change up summer home fragrance to autumn, there’s plenty to find in both Home Bargains and B&M!
