Another incredibly busy month has come and gone in the blink of an eye! It’s full on summer now. Schools in the UK are closed, people are venturing off on their holidays and we’ve experienced every type of weather known to man. I also found lots of great affordable skin and body products on the high street, and made a few purchases too. So what products did I use in July and what products did I find that were worth a mention?

Mallows Beauty Products
A skin and body care brand that delivers products designed to be fun, enjoyable and easy to use. Not to mention effective! Mallows Beauty products have been sat on the shelves in Home Bargains at prices well below their usual rrp’s. Scrubs, facial toners, body cleansers, all products sold for under £5.00 each.

Face Facts Skincare For Mature Skin
Skincare for older skin tends to come with a heavier price tag compared to other products for different age groups. But Face Facts, already a budget friendly brand, caters for the older and more mature skin type too but cheaply. Cleansing balm, eye serum, facial serum night cream and neck masks all can be found in supermarket Tesco for under £5.00 each.

Versace’s Eros Energy Eau de Parfum
This is the most expensive fragrance I’ve bought in years! But your son only turns 16 once so why not? Versace’s Eros Energy Eau de Parfum might not be cheap, but it’s a beautiful and unusual men’s fragrance perfect for summer wearing. My son likes it, I got it at a good price, so very happy with this purchase.

Under £1.50 Bargains!
Who doesn’t love a cheap but good product? And as usual there were plenty in discount store Home Bargains in July. From bath treats by Bubble Up, and skincare products from Face Facts and Simple, all budget friendly. Great for everyday use or gift giving.

29p Gel Mask
How much does a skincare face mask cost these days? £2.00? £3.00? I picked up Que Bella’s 1% Hyaluronic Acid Gel Mask from Home Bargains for only 29p! It’s not the best skincare mask I’ve ever used if I’m honest, but definitely not the worst. But for only 29p, fragrance free and enough for 2 applications? Not a bad buy at all!

Hair & Body Mists in Primark
More Sol de Janerio hair & body mist dupes? Yes, probably! Walk into Primark and you will find a variety of differently fragranced hair and body mists perfectly scented for summer. £3.50 each, decent sizes and nicely packaged.

Simple’s Soothing Water Cream
My current facial moisturiser is Simple’s Soothing Water Cream. A beautifully rich but light weight moisturiser that has slotted into my skincare routine perfectly. Did I mention it was only £1.29? BARGAIN!

Lady Millions EDT Fragrance From Lotions & Potions
Want to buy a teenage girl a great fragrance that not only smells nice but packaged cutely? This is why I bought my teen for her birthday Lady Millions EDT Fragrance from Lotions & Potions . For only £10.00 this delivered a grown up fragrance in an adorable, but age appropriate packaging.

So, these are some of the products I’ve bought, used and also found on the high street in July. What will I find and buy in August?
