Skin 'feels fresh' with Home Bargains' £1.70 version of Lush's £24 'Snow Fairy'

Skin 'feels fresh' with Home Bargains' £1.70 version of Lush's £24 'Snow Fairy' People could save over £22 by switching from the big brand to to the alternative version Shoppers looking to keep their skin "feeling fresh" after a shower while enjoying a festive fragrance might want to check out the latest budget-friendly option from Home Bargains. Fans say this "sweet bubblegum and candy floss" option rivals a well-known brand that costs £22 more. Home Bargains is selling a 500ml bottle of Mystical Angel Fragranced Shower Gel for just £1.69. The pink formula boasts a "sweet bubblegum and candy floss scent" that closely resembles a beloved seasonal product from cosmetics giant Lush. In its online description, Home Bargains said: "Sweetie is a playful fragrance brand creating sweet, feel-good scents designed to brighten up your everyday routine. Fun, wearable and effortlessly uplifting, our fragranced bath and body products are made to bring a little extra joy to every moment. "Fragranced shower gel with a sweet bubblegum and candy floss scent, gently cleansing and leaving skin feeling fresh. Perfect for everyday use in a 500ml bottle." Many shoppers have quickly compared the scent and style to the cult Snow Fairy range, which Lush releases each winter. The major beauty retailer sells similarly sized bottles of shower gel (580g) for £24, reports the Liverpool Echo. Describing the returning scent on its website, Lush acknowledges that the fragrance has "spawned a thousand dupes and candycoated counterfeits". Last year, alternatives were spotted on the shelves at the likes of Primark, B&M and more. The brand adds: "The scent of the century is back, and this year our iconic Snow Fairy shower gel has all of the magic, none of the palm. So for sparkle like there's snow tomorrow, lather up in the palm-free, candy-sweet suds that come but once a year - unless, like us, you stock up on the 1kg bottles to survive the Snow Fairy drought." Shoppers choosing the Home Bargains alternative could pocket more than £22.30 in savings per bottle this festive period. The discounted deal can be found both online and in branches nationwide. What else is new at Home Bargains? The budget retailer is offering a range of fresh beauty deals for shoppers. Among them are reduced items from the Elizabeth Arden collection. The Elizabeth Arden Millennium Day Renewal Emulsion typically retails at £47 according to its recommended price, but has been slashed in a Home Bargains promotion that won't be found on shop floors. Through the web-exclusive offer, shoppers can snap up a 75ml bottle of the moisturiser for a mere £12.99 - a saving of £34. In its online description, Home Bargains says the cream is "ideal for everyday use" and claims it leaves skin "feeling nourished, revitalised and looking radiant with a smooth, supple finish". The promotion is exclusively available via the Home Bargains website, so shoppers cannot purchase this in physical stores. Another offer provides a major discount on Visible Whitening CicaGlow Concentrate (reduced from £66 to £12.99). Home Bargains said: "Reveal a brighter, more radiant-looking complexion with Elizabeth Arden Visible Whitening CicaGlow Concentrate 30ml. "This innovative bi-phase formula combines nourishing oils with gentle exfoliating ingredients to help improve skin's natural renewal process while targeting the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone. Enriched with Niacinamide, Vitamin C and Centella Asiatica (Cica), it helps soothe, hydrate and visibly brighten the skin, leaving it looking smoother, clearer and glowing with a healthy, youthful radiance."
