July has been an incredibly busy month. The weather has been up and down hot, cold and raining. Everything and anything has needed to be paid for (one word…car!). And dare I mention the end of the school year and start of the Summer holidays? Will August be an easier, less stressful and cheaper time? No! But since August has come rushing around the corner, I thought I would look back on July and highlight products I’ve spotted, bought and/or used that’s worth giving a thumbs up.
Travel Sized Holiday Essentials
This is probably the main time of the year when people are going away on a holiday, especially with children. Travel sized hair and body products are a staple for travellers. Readily available on the high street and online, but prices, promotions and products vary from store to store. So always look for the best value and the brands of products you want to grab.
Garnier’s Ambre Solaire Kids Sensitive Protection Lotion
Sun protection is a must, especially during Summer. I’ve found Garnier’s Ambre Solaire Kids Sensitive Protection Lotion to be a great sun protection for all the family, not just kids! From face to to feet, this has served all of our melanin rich skin well in my household. Rubbed into the skin, it leaves no white, ashy or purple marks if applied properly.
Home of Honey’s Golden Orchid Wax Melt Discs
Some beautifully scented and crafted wax melts were gifted to me from UK based wax vendor Home of Honey, including Golden Orchid Wax Melts Disc. Eye catching in appearance, good sizes and lovely fragrance.
Home Bargains Bargains!
I never have a problem finding a great buy from Home Bargains when it comes to bath, body or skincare products. But one of the best I’ve seen in a long time is the Decleor mini’s. Only 79p, you get either a singular product or a duo which consists of a shower gel, facial cleanser, facial moisturiser and/or oil. Absolute bargain considering how expensive this brand used to be (I think they’ve ceased trading in the UK). Yes, these aren’t full sizes. But how ideal are these for travelling?
Lidl’s Cien Moisturising Hand Cream
If you’re looking for an affordable and effective everyday hand cream, Lidl’s Cien Moisturising Hand Cream is brilliant! Light weight, moisturising and kind to sensitive hands. For under £1.00, this is a great everyday product to use and buy when needed.
Home of Honey’s Rose Wonderland Wax Melt
Another wax melt used and enjoyed from Home of Honey was Rose Wonderland (gifted). An interesting take on a floral scent which was unusual, not floral heavy and perfect to melt during the Summer months.
These are some of the skincare, body care and home fragrance products I found in stores, bought or/and used in the month of July. Any favourites? Now THAT would be telling…so no!
