I love shopping at TK Maxx and find some bargains and unusual items in there in the beauty section. Last time I went I bought a set of foaming face masks, a carrot gel moisturiser shaped like a carrot and some Bareminerals lip balms.
First up these face masks, costing £3.99 for five masks (they were in a yellow sticker sale so reduced twice). Each mask is in its own sealed sachet and is a sort of orange colour when you first open it. It reacts to the air and foams up after a couple of minutes and is quite good fun to wear. I do it in the bath as it is a bit messy for a bedroom face mask.
When you unwrap it, it's a bit strange as it only fits on the lower half of your face. I am not sure why the forehead does not benefit from this mixture but you can always plaster a bit upwards once the foam gets going. I would definitely buy these again at that price as I love Korean beauty products and they are fun to use.
Then the Jeju carrot soothing gel. I really like this but am saving it for our holidays as I think it will be a great skin soother after days spent out in the sun. It was just £3 in the TK Maxx yellow sticker sale. A bit of fun too with the packaging. I have not found anywhere else in the UK that stocks this so it may be a one time wonder unless I ship it in.
This next item was not in the sale but still a good price, £24.99 was the recommended retail price but they were marked at £12.99 and I must admit I ummed and aahed about them before deciding I definitely wanted them. They are mostly sheer (especially the middle one!) with a hint of a tint to them and great moisturising properties. I think these are great for slipping in your pocket for days out when you are not bothering with much make up but want nicely soft lips. Especially on winter days too!
The other item I bought (I just remembered!) was an eye shadow palette which is by Cargo but I have not tried it yet so I will blog about it yet and also a set of eye make up remover pads by Almay. I got four of these little pots, which I have almost finished one. There are 80 slim pre soaked pads in each pot and they are nice and cool for removing eye make up. I use one on each eye and find them effective for removing eye make up and I also use one before applying make up in the morning to make sure there is no remnant of panda eye and it adds a little moisture and de puffs too so double bonus. I paid £1 for the green tubs and £2 for the pink tubs, both are similar and work really well. I bought every one the shop had. These are available online at
