  • New Nivea Skincare From £1.49 in Home Bargains!

    When you walk into a discount store, you’re never too sure what you will see. Yes, like any store, there will be items on the shelves you see week in week out. But there’s also plenty of products new in, that might be on a shelf for a day, a week or a few weeks, and then never to be seen again. New skincare products I spotted recently in Home Bargains was from the brand Nivea. 3 different moisturisers and a serum, starting from £1.49. So, what did I find?

  • New Skin Care Products In Lidl!

    I’ve mentioned in a previous post that the supermarket Lidl has new body products in store. They also have skincare products in stock too and quite a few as well! So what’s available and how much do they cost?

    Brightening Glycolic Toner

    This toner is to help clean and gently exfoliate the skin leaving it looking and feeling, smoother and fresher. With it being a gentle acid, it’s recommended to wear sun protection during the day if using this. The skin could become sensitive to the sun so important to take that on board. £2.99 for 250ml.

    Price promotions?

    At the time of writing all of these products are on a buy one get one free promotion which is incredible! Taking advantage of these savings means having nearly a full skincare routine for effectively half the retail price which is a win win!

    First impressions?

    These products are nicely packaged although a little generic in look. A lot of brands keep their products looking simple and visually it works! Great selection of different products for different skin concerns and types. But I do think if they brought out products that made a full skincare routine, these releases would have been better e.g eye cream, face mask etc. And of course, lets not forget price point. Prices are affordable, reasonable and even better with the promotion they currently have (at the time of writing this post).

    So, job well done Lidl!

    So what are my impressions of these skincare products? Firstly, some of these aren’t new e.g the Jelly Cleanser. This isn’t a bad thing. It’s nice to see some products coming back, rather than just one hit wonders. What I like is the mix of products available and how they form a solid, full, skincare routine. These seem easy to use, hard working products all at great, budget friendly price points. Will they suit everyone? Of course not! But definitely worth a try if you’re looking for a new skincare item.
