Home Bargains Cloe Cat Face Mask

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Home Bargains Cloe Cat Face Mask. I like cute things, and I couldn’t help myself when I saw this mask. I had to have it! I think this face mask is aimed at much younger ladies than myself – but I didn’t care.

What kind of mask is it? It’s a regular sheet mask that you use after you’ve cleansed your face. Leave it on for 10 minutes, then massage the essence into the skin.

I’ve given this mask a try, and I think it was quite nice. It was hydrating without being sticky, and it has a subtle strawberry scent which, I think, younger ladies will enjoy.

I might repurchase this mask, and I would also recommend it! If you’re interested, Home Bargains Cloe Cat Face Mask is available as a 25ml single use face mask for £1.

Home Bargains Bella Bunny Face Mask

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Home Bargains Bella Bunny Face Mask. I think this mask is aimed at kids at teens, but it looked so cute, I just had to have it! It also has pretty much the same ingredients as any other cheap sheet mask that’s aimed at women, so…

How does it work? Cleanse your face, put the mask on, leave it on for 10 minutes, then remove it and massage the essence into the skin.

I’ve given this mask a try, and I think it’s actually quite nice! The mask is hydrating, and it has a subtle strawberry scent. The mask is printed – with a bunny face which looked super cute on.

Based on my experience, I’d recommend this face mask. Home Bargains Bella Bunny Face Mask is available as a 25ml single use face mask for £1.

Home Bargains Watermelon Hydrating Sheet Mask

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Home Bargains Watermelon Hydrating Sheet Mask. This mask promises to hydrate the skin. And you’re supposed to use the mask after you’ve cleansed your face. Simply leave the mask on for 15+ minutes, then pat the leftover essence into your skin, then follow with your regular skin care.

I’ve given this mask a try, and I liked it a lot. I found it deeply hydrating and mildly refreshing. The subtle watermelon scent was an added bonus, especially because Home Bargains managed to make it smell fruity and juicy but not sugary. Very well done, Home Bargains!

Based on my experience, I’d recommend this face mask! Home Bargains Watermelon Hydrating Face Mask is available as a 25ml single-use sheet mask for 79p at Home Bargains!

Home Bargains Avocado Moisturising Face Mask

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Home Bargains Avocado Moisturising Face Mask. I love Home Bargains, so I was happy to pick up their “own brand” face masks. This is a regular sheet mask. Use it after you’ve cleansed your skin. Leave it on for 15+ minutes, then take it off and massage the leftover essence from the sachet into your skin.

I’ve given this mask a try, and I think it’s very good! The sheet mask is ultra-thin, the essence is refreshing and deeply hydrating without being overly sticky, and the mask has a very faint “cosmetic” scent which is perfectly pleasant. The mask felt great on, and my skin loved the essence!

I didn’t expect this mask to be great, but based on my experience, I’d recommend it for sure! Home Bargains Avocado Moisturising Face Mask is available as a 25ml single-use sheet mask for 79p at Home Bargains!

22 New Products – Home Bargains, Poundworld, Poundland & Asda Beauty Haul

Hi there! If you read my blog, and if you remember this post – you know I’d like to get away from being a beauty and toiletries hoarder. However, I simply can’t resist a bargain when I see one. Now let’s have a look at the new stuff that’s going to be stashed away somewhere at my place…

I found these NSPA shower gels at Home Bargains – for 79p each. These are 500ml and they’re normally £3 at Asda. I think these ones are going to be discontinued. 😦 By the way, all NSPA products are made in the UK.

Home Bargains also had a few nice and cheap body mists. From left to right: Anovia Fragranced Body Mist With Fruit Extracts Sensual Argan & Marula – 150ml, Anovia Fragranced Body Mist With Fruit Extracts Light & Refreshing Passion Fruit & Pineapple – 150ml, Dolly’s Mixtures Peach Melba ‘Just Peachy’ Body Mist – 100ml, NSPA Luscious Fresh Clementine Body Mist – 200ml.

The Dolly’s Mixtures Body Mist was 49p (usually £2 at Asda), the other three body mists were 79p each. I’ve never seen the brand Anovia anywhere before today, so I can’t comment on what their products cost elsewhere, but the NSPA fragrances are usually £3 at Asda. Oh, and all these body mists were made in the UK!

Up next we’ve got Alberto Balsam Stunning Shine shampoo & conditioner. They’re 300ml each and they were £1 each (special offer) at Asda. The next item is NSPA’s Cherry Body Scrub – also from Home Bargains. The 225ml scrub set me back 79p (instead of £3 at Asda). The eyeshadow brush is from Poundworld – of course it was £1.

And here’s the actual beauty stuff – 2 Barry M eyeshadows (£1 for the pack of 2), 2 Sally Hansen nail polishes, 2 Max Factor eyeshadows, 2 Max Factor nail polishes, 2 L’Oréal nail polishes and 1 Rimmel nail polish which is a backup. Some of these products came from Poundland, some from Poundworld. All in all I paid £10 in total for all these eyeshadows and nail polishes.

Yes, I stocked up on stuff I didn’t really need. But everything was so cheap. In fact I only paid £19.02 for everything! I live for bargains, you know. Bargain hunting might actually be ma raison d’être. 🙂 Have you done any shopping recently? Any hauls you’d like to tell me about? Feel free to let me know in the comments. And thanks for reading!
