  • 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.

    Cussons Creations Vanilla & Shea Butter Shower Gel
    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.

    Palmolive’s Thermal Spa Silky Oil Shower Gel
    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.

    Ineos Sea Salt+Blue Lotus Body Wash
    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.

    Treacle Moon’s Peace In A Flower 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!

  • Wicked Beauty Products In Primark

    Wicked: For Good, has got to be the most anticipated film of 2025. As a fan of the first instalment, I’ve been counting down the months to the conclusion of a story I only knew bits of originally. So if I’ve been excited over this film, lots of people have been too. And what does that mean? Merchandise! Lots of it! If you’re a fan or not you won’t escape the merchandise, marketing and collaborations with other brands. So if you want to pick up anything Wicked, it’s easily done, and can be done affordably. I found a selection of Wicked products in the beauty section of Primark. What did I find and how much did they cost?

    Wicked Beauty Products In Primark
    Colour Changing Lip Balm – £3.00

    Keeping with the colour theme of the film, this lip balm comes with two lip balm ends: one green one pink. How exactly this colour changes isn’t mentioned on the packaging, but it does, and is also scented.

    Colour Changing Lipbalm
    Shimmering Body Wash – £4.50

    250ml of two separately coloured body washes (pink and green of course!) that look like they dispense as one. Both have a shimmer look to them, with the scent being ‘Cosmic Star‘.

    Shimmering Body Wash
    Bath Fizzer Set – £5.00

    This set contains 4 individually wrapped bath fizzers. One is shaped as a witches hat, one a perfume bottle, another a wand and the last one is a gold, mask like face. All connected to character’s in the film and decent in size. Nicely packaged and perfect for gift giving.

    Bath Fizzer Set
    Illuminating Face Serum – £4.00

    The Illuminating Face Serum is soft pink in colour with a shimmer to it. I assume, this is to give the face a glow, fresh like look to it. 30ml in size and contains ceramides. So as much as this looks pretty, I would treat it as a skincare product not anything else.

    Illuminating Face Serum
    Hydrating Sheet Masks – £3.00

    2 sheet masks designed to hydrate the skin, with each representing the two main characters. With these being printed sheet masks, I assume whatever designs are on them reflects the characters.

    Sheet Masks
    Eyelash Curler – £3.00

    This is exactly what you would think an eyelash curler will look and behave like. The only difference is it’s green and has a witches hat on the bottom of one of the arms.

    Eyelash Curler

    These were just a few Wicked related products I found in the beauty section of Primark. There were lashes, rollers, many different things that would keep any beauty loving Wicked fan happy! But what do I think about these releases? Products are nicely packaged, perfectly themed and all affordable.

  • 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.

    Pumpkin Pecan Waffle Reed Diffuser
    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!

  • New Under £2.00 Biovene Skincare In Home Bargains

    Have you ever heard of the skincare brand Biovene? I’ve seen their products but I don’t know much about the brand. Doing a basic search, I’ve found out that Biovene is Spanish. They use natural ingredients with today’s technology, creating a variety of skincare products suitable for various skin types and skin concerns. As a brand their products seem quite affordable online, but more so in stores such as Home Bargains. So what did I find in Home Bargains from Biovene?

    Biovene skincare products in Home Bargains

    Biovene’s Pimple Patches
    So what do I think?

    I think this is a good selection of very affordable products. Ideal for those who don’t want to spend a fortune on skincare. Will these products be for everyone? No. Can these easily be slotted into a skincare routine? Yes. Would I buy these myself? Well, I did buy my daughter the pimple patches, as I couldn’t see a mention of fragrance in them. But other products I personally wouldn’t because I try to use fragrance free products on her and myself. But these products do intrigue me, and worth checking out in your local Home Bargains.
