Beauty, Bargains and Beyond

I popped into Aldi recently and I was immediately drawn to the middle aisle (IYKYK) and I spotted some products that made me think of Tom Ford perfumes. There are a range of candles and reed diffusers and the colour of the packaging and the names makes me think that they are inspired by Tom Ford perfumes.  First of all we have Crushed Peach which has orange packaging and appears to be "inspired" by the Tom Ford fragrance Bitter Peach. I can compare these as I actually own Bitter Peach. I would say that the Aldi products have a more peachy scent and is less spicy than Bitter Peach, but its a nice fresh fragrance nonetheless. Next there is Thorny Rose which I am guessing is inspired by Rose Prick (snigger!). I don't own this one, so all I can say is that Aldi's has a light rose scent. Finally we have Cherry Pie, which I'm guessing is the Lost Cherry dupe. (This TF fragrance is on my wish list). The Aldi version is a light cherry scent. They obviously don't smell...

Here's a quick haul from Aldi. I bought a couple of Lacura Super Booster serums, The Collagen & Gold Serum which helps to promote firm and tighter skin and the Hyaluronic Acid Serum which helps to promote hydrated and smoother looking skin. They were £3.29 each for 20ml. I also bought the Lacura Smoothing Glycolic Body Lotion with 10% AHA blend, mango and shea butters. This product cost £4.99 for 250ml. The Lacura Powder Puffs cost £2.99 for a pack of 2 and are great for applying loose power under the eyes and around the nose. Finally, I picked up the Lacura Intense Passion Eau de Parfum which cost £5.99 for 50ml. I will say that you never know what you will find in store with Aldi, as a lot of the beauty range seems to be limited edition. So if you see any of these products in store, grab them while you can.   Leigh 💜 I purchased these products with my own money

I picked up some really nice jewellery at Primark recently and they were all very reasonably priced as you would expect from Primark.  Here's what I purchased. Both sets of Rita Ora x Primark earrings cost £3.50 each for a gold and silver toned pair in each set. The chunky silver toned bracelet cost £3.50.  This set cost £3.50 for 8 silver toned bracelets. Finally, these silver toned earrings cost £2.50 each. All the products were made using a minimum of 50% recycled metal.   Leigh 💜 I purchased these product with my own money

This is just a quick list of some products that are new to me that I definitely love enough to repurchase. John Frieda Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery Repairing Tropical Oil £8.99 for 100ml - this has been a godsend for my frizzy dry hair. It makes it super soft and frizz free. My sister recommended this product and its a winner with me. Woo Woo Tame It! Hair Removal Cream -£10.95 for 100ml - I came across this product on social media somewhere and it was heavily recommended. Its great for the bikini line and other intimate areas. Its so quick and easy to use in the shower and it gave super smooth results. It contains Jojoba Oil & Aloe Vera, so is gentle on the skin. Ultra Violette Sheen Screen SPF50 Hydrating Lip Balm in the shade Shimmer £16 for 15g - I used this product throughout my holiday in Orlando.  It is very hydrating and gives a lovely shimmer to my lips without being sticky. Larry King Liquid Hairbrush Conditioner £23 for 180ml - This is a great product for damag...

  *I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. With the dark nights upon us I'm staying wrapped up at home so having some games to play is ideal at this time of year.
