  • October’s Round Up Of Products I Found & Used

    October was a fun month for finding different products on the high street. New season meant lots of autumn inspired items and also winter ones too. From home fragrance, to skincare…I saw lots of products for the face, body and home which were all budget friendly and relatively easy to grab from well known stores on the high street (or online). So what did I find in October?

    October’s Round Up Of Products Found & Used
    Face Facts Skincare Masks In B&M

    A brand that is super affordable is Face Facts. Their products can be found in different stores but their biggest selection of products, including skincare, can be found in B&M. I found skincare face masks in different forms in B&M all under £4.00. Great for a pamper without the expensive.

    Superdrug’s Limited Edition Halloween Fruity Sour Apple Body Mist

    A body mist I’m still enjoying and using, is Superdrug’s Limited Edition Halloween Fruity Sour Apple Body Mist. So fruity, so effervescent and so different! This isn’t the type of scent you will smell regularly that’s why I love it, and it’s not expensive either.

    Face Facts Body Products

    Not only does the brand Face Facts have a massive range of skincare products, but they also have lots of body products too. This includes shower body foams, body butters and body lotions. The collection they have in raspberry ripple fragrance looks very appealing and all under £3.00 each!

    Face Facts Cream Body Lotion
    Superdrug’s Limited Edition Halloween Pumpkin Spice Body Mist

    Another limited edition body mist from Superdrug is their Pumpkin Spice Body Mist. This is more of a traditional autumn scent which if you love anything pumpkin you will love this! Spicy, warming with a little musk to it.

    Tiger Moon’s Vanilla Orchid Body Mist

    Anyone who loves vanilla really needs to try Tiger Moon’s Vanilla Orchid Body Mist. Vanilla is one of my favourite scents, and this is a great mix of vanilla and florals which makes my nose very happy. Smells so much more expensive than what it cost, but if this was stronger and lasted longer would be PERFECT!

    Bath & Shower Products To Use This Winter

    There are so many winter inspired fragranced bath and shower products available in Home Bargains, you will be spoilt for choice! From hand washes to shower gels, bath soaks to shower foams, all scented to get us all in the mood for winter.

    Otiginal Source’s Sugared Plum Shower Gel
    Lattafa’s Amethyst Bade’e Al Oud

    I was late catching onto Arabian inspired fragrances, but my son wasn’t! One that he bought for himself was Lattafa’s Amethyst Bade’e Al Oud. A beautifully packaged 100ml fragrance that both men and women can wear. Importantly, this smells amazing, is long lasting and strong.

    These are just a handful of products I’ve spotted on the high street and some I’ve bought and tried out. Did you have any favourite products you grabbed in October?

  • Face Facts Skincare Masks In B&M For Under £4.00 Each!

    Skincare products are available online and on the high street at different price points. This makes grabbing a face wash, toner, moisturiser and anything else affordable for those on a budget. The other extreme is you can have a splurge on something more expensive. The choice is yours depending on what you want and how much you want to spend. One brand that has a massive range of products, and is available to buy in various stores, is Face Facts. Here are a few skincare masks (and a blemish treatment) I found in B&M with each product priced under £4.00!

    Face Facts skincare masks (and blemish treatment) in B&M!
    Hydrogel Eye Masks

    Eye masks are a great and simple way to immediately improve the look of the under eye area. This pack contains 4 treatments (not too sure whether that’s 4 pairs of masks or 4 under eye masks in total). Designed to freshen tired looking eyes, brighten and hydrate the under eye area. £1.99.

    Hydro-gel Eye Masks
    Plumping Sheet Mask

    This pack contains three sheet masks. They’re designed to hydrate, help to soften the look of lines and wrinkles making skin look softer and plumper. £3.99.

    Plumping Sheet Mask
    Flight Refresh Face Mask

    Flight Refresh Face Mask is supposed to have the same effects as the Plumping Sheet Masks, but also to help the tone of the skin even out. Overall, giving the skin a fresher look. £1.99.

    Flight Refresh Face Mask
    Blemish Control Micro-Dart Patches

    These patches help to target blemishes/spots directly, thanks to tiny micro needles that go into them. Containing hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid and tea tree oil, these ingredients help to treat, calm and heal blemishes. £2.99.

    Blemish Control Patches
    Anymore products?

    There are LOADS more skincare products from Face Facts sat on the shelves of B&M! Too many for me to mention. But they aren’t hard to spot thanks to their colourful packaging and low price points.

    Thoughts?

    I love how affordable Face Facts products are. Also, the fact there’s so many products available means choice which is great. These particular products seem more aimed at younger skin and don’t give off hard working formulations, or serious skincare to me. Personally, I wouldn’t buy any of these because each product. My skin needs something more and something less, include no fragrance. These products I wouldn’t go for if I had problematic, aged or sensitive skin. But if under the age of 25 and wanted a pamper on a budget, why not?

  • 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.

    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.

    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!

  • Everything Pumpkin Scented For Your Home In Primark & TK Maxx

    Autumn! Such a great season overall. The weather, the fashion, the general feel of places is totally different to the previous season we’ve encountered. And I love it! One thing I love about this time of the year is home fragrance. Yes, we still have candles, wax melts, reed diffusers and plug ins available. But the scents they come in are cosy, warming and homely. One scent that will be around for a few months is going to be pumpkin. Not just because of autumn but for Halloween too. So what does stores Primark and TK Maxx have right now home fragrance product wise in pumpkin scent?

    Cinnamon Pumpkin Reed Diffuser
    To buy or not to buy?

    Honestly? There was so many pumpkin scented home fragrance products in both Primark and TK Maxx my head was spinning! This was just a selection of some of what’s available. The ones I could sniff all smelt great, and definitely had the pumpkin element to it. How these products were presented blew my mind! I never look at home products in TK Maxx but I will have to in the future. And as usual, Primark has delivered with what they have in store.

    So if you’re looking for candles, reed diffusers (and more) in a pumpkin scent, you need to visit these two stores!
