I’ve been raiding Home Bargains for beauty dupes and this £3.99 spray smells like heaven

Unfortunately, while we all love to get a bargain, it can be difficult to determine which beauty dupes are worth your hard-earned money.

One influencer has apparently struck gold at Home Bargains, with skin-nourishing night creams and perfume for less than a fiver.

Despite regularly saving herself a small fortune in recent times, Holly Barns isn’t afraid to give her brutally honest opinions on Tiktok.

When this flight attendant isn’t on cloud nine, she’s busy scouring supermarkets and discount stores for the best bargains.

After hearing about Sol De Janeiro’s alleged dupes in Home Bargains, the beauty guru knew she had to pick them up and test them out for herself.

First in her basket was the Glow body butter with a delicious scent of vanilla, almond and salted caramel for only € 4.99.

Not only did it have the same heavenly scent, the moisturizer also had almost identical yellow and white packaging as the iconic Sol De Janeiro products.

She compared it to the high-end cream and said: “It smells just like the Bum Bum cream. It’s actually true Nice.”

Considering how similar the products are, it seems like the Glow Body Butter is more than worth it money – especially as the Sol De Janerio cream costs a whopping £35.

The 30-year-old wasn’t done with her reviews yet, though, as she also picked up the Glow perfume mist pink lychee and crystal clear water.

Although it’s similar to the Brazilian Crush perfume, the popular dupe has already sold out as influencers rush to get their hands on it.

It’s not surprising as Holly told her 35,000 followers: “This smells incredible and it smells just like my real one… it just smells like heaven.”

While the real Sol De Janeiro perfume will cost you an eye-watering £24.00 for a 90ml bottle, you can get your hands on an almost identical scent at Home Bargains or just £3.99.

After stocking up on heavenly scents, the flight attendant turned her attention to the skin care that was offered at the discount store.

Although she already had enviably glowing skin, Holly wanted to test the Biovene Retinol Night Lift cream, which claims to tighten and improve fine lines.

The anti-ageing cream, made with organic strawberry and cherry essence, normally retails for £15.99, but she managed to find it at Home Bargains for just £1.99.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t as impressed with this product as she was with the other items in her collection.

“They had it in TK Maxx for full price,” she explained, adding: “It doesn’t smell great, but I have high hopes for it. I keep seeing everyone using it on Tiktok.”

Since she travels often, her latest purchase was the Biovene Face Fluid serum with built-in SPF and hydrating hyaluronic acid.

“They did this in a 30ml and 50ml. This was supposed to cost £20 and I got it for £1.99,” she said, adding that the skincare smelled ‘amazing’.

With all these beauty buys on sale, it seems like the perfect time for a trip to Home Bargains.
