£6 Amazon pillowcases are a great dupe for silk pillowcases
I must admit, I do love my silk pillowcases….they were a huge treat at £70!!!!! With benefits such as reducing wrinkles and helping to get a good night’s sleep, silk has always been a great choice for pillows.

Thousands of customers are reaping the hair and skin benefits of the Bedsure Satin Pillow Cases, reporting less hair breakage, better skin, and a better night’s sleep. And they’re now on sale, starting at £6.08 for two.

John Lewis starts renting out dresses with new Hurr service
In a partnership with rental specialist Hurr, department store John Lewis has launched its first womenswear rental platform. It is available at johnlewis.com/fashionrental and features a selection of exclusive John Lewis labels as well as over 20 new contemporary brands.
As stated by the company, the goal is to “encourage a more sustainable way of shopping that doesn’t cost the Earth.”

“As a retailer, we need to provide our consumers with a more sustainable solution. This is why John Lewis Fashion Rental was created,” according to the company.
Rental prices begin at £20 for a “carefully curated” mix of the firm’s own …

Does Superdrug do the cheapest eyebrow threading on the high street?
Brow bars scare me a little bit, with their prices of £13 – £15 for an eyebrow thread. I can’t be bothered to travel down to the Asian areas to get dirt cheap threading, but Superdrug really suprises me, as they thread for £5.
I get my threading done for a fiver there…the set up is a little bit wierd. You pay up front at the normal till, and then you head to the middle or back of the shop with your receipt, and get your eyebrows done in the store…there is a nice chair, but you are in a store! No barriers, people walking past…
Frankly no one seems to mind and when I see it being done I just walk on by.
Anyway, I collect points when having it done so that’s another …

Aldi’s new spray on moisturiser
I’m an okay fan of Aldi’s Lacura skincare products…like their serum brought me out in spots so it’s a no from me, but their Caviar Illumincation Day Cream costs just £6.99 for 50 ml and is “nearly” as good as La Prarie Skin Caviar Luxe at £292! Today’s find for a body moisturiser is really good.
The Laucura spray on moisturiser – just shake up the bottle and thinly spray on…it goes on like a foam…be careful to spray somewhere like the bathroom as until you get used to it, you may end up spraying on other things.
It comes in three flavours pure oatmeal, aloe vera (with argan oil) and cocoa. It’s 200 ml for £1.99 per bottle. I agree with the packaging that it moisturises your skin and leaves it soft and silky …

Superdrug regular saves
A recent trip to Superdrug opened my eyes to their own range of products. I must admit when it comes to shampoos and other toiletries, I am a bit of a known brand rather than an own brand fan.
But the funny thing is that a lot of own brand products offer the same features for less. As you may know, I don’t like writing about deals too often as once they are gone. You poor pumpkins remain annoyed that you missed the offer.
So here’s a little round up of some of Superdrug’s lovely products that are low priced or regularly on offer:
Caring coconut and sweet almond shampoo and conditioner
Was pleased with this shampoo and matching conditioner. Coconut oil and shampoo are great for hair loss. I can’t confirm that I stopped …

Noir Caviar – an anti-ageing hair care revolution?
Like many women of my age group – fast approaching 40 – I have been stunned by the changes taking place not just on my face but with my hair. It’s getting drier and thinner, you can even see my scalp sometimes, so I jumped at the chance to try out Revolution Hair Concepts’ new anti-ageing hair care range – Noir Caviar. I have tried virtually all the imaginable thickening shampoos, so was ready to try this one.
The range includes products, such as a daily shampoo and conditioner, that aim to regenerates aged and lacklustre hair while giving it back its healthy look – and locks. Perfect I thought!
