Home Bargains shoppers 'need' £2 item as they've 'never seen anything like it'
Home Bargains customers are going wild over a "massive" £2 beauty product that shoppers are convinced they "need." Customers say they have "never seen anything like" the enormous lip balm, which comes in various fragrances for £1.99.
The watermelon and cherry lip balms became a sensation after a shopper featured them on social media, with fans absolutely thrilled by the selection. A clip shared by TikTok influencer Paula Pronobis racked up more than 60,000 views and over 5,000 likes.
The voiceover said: "Massive lip balm at Home Bargains. £1.99." In her caption, Paula raved about the beauty find.
She wrote: "Never seen anything like it. Want the cherry one!"
Viewers were just as impressed, reports the Mirror. One fan joked: "Someone hold me back."
A keen shopper added: "Omg I am going to have to go home bargains tomorrow!!" A third viewer thought: "I need that!"
Another agreed: "Pfttt i need that, the price is good for the size as well." There was more praise.
Someone else replied: "I got one and it's actually so so good I recommend." A similar reply read: "I got the cherry one."
Not everyone was keen on the design, however. A different reply stated: "It looks like a glue stick."
Meanwhile, another follower wrote: "Would still end up losing it." Sadly, it appears the new lip balms aren't currently available on Home Bargains' website.
Shoppers can locate their nearest store here. Alternatively, the retailer does stock various lip care products on its website.
One of the deals includes the Carmex Mini Tube Trio Lip Balms SPF15, reduced from £6.49 to £4.49. The product description says: "Get your lips summer-ready with Carmex Mini Tube Trio Lip Balms SPF15, featuring three delicious scents—Wild Berry, Cupcake, and Tropical—for intense hydration and everyday SPF protection in cute, easy-squeeze tubes!"

This vegan-friendly balm hydrates for 12 hours while shielding against harmful UV rays, making it your perfect summer companion for beach days and beyond."
If not, shopper might prefer the 99p Summer Fruit Scented Lip Balm and the 99p Scented Lip Jelly. The product description for the Summer Fruit Scented Lip Balm says: "Get ready for a fruity surprise with our Summer Fruit Scented Lip Balm!

Woman who lives on cruise ship reveals top ‘gross' habit she sees from guests
After living on a cruise ship for six months out of the year, a woman has pointed out the most disgusting habit she has seen from her fellow passengers. Christine Kesteloo, a 44-year-old business owner and content creator on TikTok, recently spoke to Unilad about what she notices when she is aboard the ship with her husband, who works as a chief staff engineer. While she told the publication that living on a cruise ship 'feels like a constant vacation,' she did admit that everything is not sunshine and rainbows. 'As far as gross [parts], I don't like when guests go to the buffet directly after the gym, [and] don't wash their hands,' Kesteloo said. Despite the drawback, the TikToker pointed out that she mostly enjoys her cruise life, noting that her ship only carries 1,400 passengers compared to larger and more commercial ships that house at least 5,000 people. 'Most of the 'myths' you have heard about cruise ships are wrong,' Kesteloo added. 'Yes, I do drink the water, and no, you can't fall overboard unless you are doing something you shouldn't. Cruising is safe.' However, the best part of living on a cruise ship, according to her, is the extra perks. 'I have been to 109 countries. I also don't have to pay for petrol, food, make my bed, do my laundry, or clean my room,' she said. Kesteloo also noted in an interview with The Mirror that every time she and her husband are on the ship, they stay in 'the best cabin in the whole entire ship.' The only amenity she does not take advantage of is the boat's casino. 'I am not allowed to sit at a slot machine and play my heart until I win because it would look a little weird if I, as the wife of the chief staff engineer, won like a big jackpot. So I am not allowed to gamble on the ship,' she said. And because her husband is an employee on the ship, she tries to ensure the guests are given priority over her. 'If the pool is packed, I make sure to get off and give the guests a seat, it's just the right thing to do,' Kesteloo said. 'I totally understand how to give guests the best time, and I don't think a crew member taking their seat is the right thing to do.'

You can then snap the lip shut and your powder will be protected from any bashes, which could lead to it cracking. Maya explained: 'Without it, there's more chance of cracking or breaking. 'The cotton pad acts like padding so if it gets thrown or hit it'll be more dense together, decreasing the risk.'

'I didn't video half of it, but I just started out with cleaning the oven. This really took me all day today. I don't even know why it took me so long, but I've done the oven, then I done my fridge and my food cupboards, and then I was doing my side drawers.' Ruby revealed she cleans weekly even when nothing 'looks dirty'. She added: 'Even though none of this really looks dirty, but it just feels like it is if I haven't cleaned it in a week or so. 'So I just wiped everything out, wiped all the cutlery back down, and then stacked it all back in.' At one point, Ruby cleaned her air conditioning unit with a paintbrush to gently remove dust, noting that once dust gets wet 'you physically can't get it off'. Between tasks, her partner Johnny brought her lunch from Greggs before she powered through the rest of the day.
