    Christmas is well and truly on it’s way, and we all know it! People have been buying Christmas trees, wrapping paper and gifts consistently for a few weeks with many putting the finishing touches to ALL of their Christmas purchases already. If you haven’t started Christmas shopping or looking for some inspiration for gift ideas, look no further. The supermarket Sainsbury’s has lots of great pampering gifts that are fun and affordable. So what does Sainsbury’s have to offer Christmas gift wise for under £10.00?

    Christmas Gifts Idea For Under £10.00 in Sainsbury’s
    Festive Bath Fizzers

    There were quite a few festive inspired bath fizzers available in the gift section in Sainsbury’s. Bauble design, reindeer, gingerbread man, snowman, snowflake. All great in look, good sizes, different fragrances and priced between £1.50 and £2.00 each when using their loyalty Nectar card (£3.00 to £4.00 without).

    Raspberry Ripple Bubble Bar Wand

    This grabbed my attention because it’s very similar in look to one that LUSH sell, but fragranced and priced differently. A great alternative to a traditional bath fizzer or bath bomb. Will be reusable as it’s on a stick and will be fun and easy to use. £3.00 using a Nectar card, £6.00 without.

    Let’s Go Multipack Fizzer x 6 Gift Set

    This is ideal if you want to give a bath lover a more substantial set of fizzers rather than individual ones. This gift set contains 6 different shaped and coloured bath fizzers. Fragrances included are passionfruit, chocolate and pink grapefruit. £4.50 with Nectar card, £9.00 without.

    House of Nails Inc Nail Polish Gift Set

    Honestly, I found this set containing 3 Nails Inc polishes gorgeous! The packaging was stylish and festive. The colours are a great selection of classic, Winter and party ready shades. This is one gift set I would be very happy to receive. £9.00 with Nectar card, £18.00 without.

    These are just a few pampering products I found in Sainsbury’s which caught my attention. Some would make ideal stocking fillers, Christmas Eve box additions and some perfect small gifts. In my opinion prices are great BUT only if you use a Nectar card! Without it you pay full price, so be warned!

  • Tired Eyes? Beauty Pro’s Eye Therapy Under Eye Mask

    If you love a skincare sheet mask you will probably love under eye masks as well. They can give an instant pick me up on a targeted area of the face that we all want to appear fresh and rested. I love this type of product and recently purchased Beauty Pro’s Eye Therapy Under Eye Masks. Bought from Sainsburys on a special price promotion (when using their Nectar card) of £2.50 instead of £5.00. This contains 3 pairs of eye masks.

    Beauty Pro’s Eye Therapy Under Eye Mask
    Why did I buy this?

    I love eye patches/masks, and I will happily try as many as I can to find effective ones. Beauty Pro as a brand I’ve used a few times so I thought the quality of these would be good. The price was great value as I assumed this contained one pair of masks not three!

    What are these supposed to do?

    Beauty Pro’s Eye Therapy Under Eye Masks are designed to help the look of under eyes that are tired, puffy and wrinkled and improve their overall appearance.

    Packaging

    These come in a typical sachet that most facial masks will come in. But because of how these are coloured (grey/blue) and how simple and clean this appears, it looks very professional, almost salon like to me. The sachet does contain three pairs of masks with each pair being housed in their own sachet.

    How to use

    Apply to clean skin, place under the eyes and leave on for 20 minutes.

    In use

    I took a pair of these under eye masks out of their little sachet and found them stuck to a piece of plastic. When peeled off, one side was very sticky and the other wasn’t and more fabric like (similar to a traditional sheet mask). They weren’t swimming in solution so I assumed the ingredients were sat on the surface of the sticky side. These were easy to apply and didn’t budge when applied! They stuck onto my skin like suckers and were quite rigid in feel. These eye patches were very cooling on the skin throughout wearing them which was a very nice sensation and comforting experience.

    There was a fragrance to Beauty Pro’s Eye Therapy Under Eye Masks. They smelt fresh, a little earthy and almost floral. Pleasant and not heavy.

    After use

    After taking these off I did think my under eyes looked a little fresher. Not massively but a little. I’m not sure whether it was because the suction held everything in place and flat, or it was the ingredients, but they didn’t look worse. They also felt hydrated but weren’t seeped in moisture or oily in look or feel so quite light weight in regards to hydration.

    Recommended?

    Although I didn’t feel like I had an eye lift, Beauty Pro’s Eye Therapy Under Eye Masks did give me an instant improvement. They were a great alternative and something different from the usual eye masks available on the market. And I loved how secure they felt on my skin. For the cost of £2.50 for three pairs of individually wrapped under eye patches is a bargain, so yes, I would recommend these! In fact, I’ve taken a second trip to Sainsbury’s and bought a second sachet of them!
