2022 is continuing to gallop closer and closer into the distance as we say goodbye to month number 10. To say it’s been eventful is an understatement, to the point where many of us probably can’t wait for this year to be over. But for now, I’m focusing what I do, which is try out and review products and share my thoughts and feelings on them. And here is my October round up of products I’ve used.

Scentsy’s Cloudberry Dreams Hand Soap

A great smelling hand wash but super small, expensive at full price and not as moisturising as I would like on my hands. I’m so glad I’ve tried some of Scentsy’s body products including this one. But you really do have to time your purchases right with this company to make sure you get the best possible deal price wise. Am I repeat purchasing this one for myself? Probably not.

Q+A’s Liquorice Lip Oil

A lip oil is a good alternative to a lip balm. In fact, I would say it’s a mix between the balm and the lip gloss. It can give you the moisturising properties of a lip balm but also the visible sheen of a gloss. Q+A’s Liquorice Lip Oil is a fairly priced lip oil from an affordable skincare company, which contains some very good ingredients. This is the first lip oil I’ve ever used and probably won’t be the last.

Aldi’s Lacura Vitamin C Brightening Daily Cleanser

I gave my first impressions of Aldi’s Lacura Vitamin C Brightening Daily Cleanser after I first bought it. Giving this cleanser a quick look this seemed to be a very promising product. It ticked all the boxes in regards to price, packaging and size. But did it actually live up to expectations when I used it?

Lidl’s Lovely Eau de Parfum

Now THIS was a first! My first venture into a supermarket own branded fragrance. Sometimes we are so used to picking up well known branded perfumes that we don’t even give lesser known (and much cheaper) fragrances a thought. A beautifully scented Eau de Parfum from Lidl without a huge price tag!

Glow’s Cafe Coffee Inspired Wax Melts

This collection of coffee inspired wax melt pots from UK wax vendor Glow were a revelation to me! I didn’t realise coffee would be such a gorgeous, comforting scent and this box of waxy goodies (gifted, I won in a competition) really won me over (excuse the pun)! Definitely something to add into your wax melt collection for Autumn/Winter time.

Masking’s Aloe Vera Under Eye Masks

For £1.00 for 2 pairs of under eye masks, this definitely is a cost effective way for a bit of pampering. Are these the best eye masks I’ve ever used? Definitely not! But they are the cheapest and easy to pick up from my local Tesco store. Not for the hardcore skincare fans, but a decent purchase for those who want a bit of fun and self care time.

Aldi’s Lacura Vitamin C Brightening Cleanser

Back again with Aldi’s Lacura Vitamin C Brightening Cleanser, but this time I used this product for a few weeks and could finally say whether this was a good or not so good purchase. Let’s just say it got the thumbs up from me and is still my morning and evening cleanser of choice.

Marks & Spencer’s Affordable Rainbow Bath Fizzer

Last but not least, and probably the most affordable item I purchased, was the Marks & Spencer’s Affordable Rainbow Bath Fizzer. A large, fun looking bath fizzer that swirled and moved in my bathtub like crazy and only cost me 49p! A brilliant cost effective buy but not on my favourite bath products ever list.

So that’s my round up complete for the month of October. Do I have a favourite? I’m torn between Glow’s Cafe Coffee Inspired Wax Melts and Aldi’s Lacura Vitamin C Brightening Cleanser. Both impressed me, both I enjoyed using.
