Home Bargains shoppers have 'never seen anything like' giant £2 item
Home Bargains fans love a "massive" £2 beauty item that customers are convinced they "need." Shoppers say they have "never seen anything like" the supersized lip balm, which is available in a range of scents for £1.99.
The watermelon and cherry lip balms went viral when a customer showcased them on social media, and fans were delighted by the range.
A post shared by TikTok blogger Paula Pronobis gained over 60,000 views and more than 5,000 likes. The voiceover said: "Massive lip balm at Home Bargains. £1.99."
In her caption, Paula praised the beauty offering, writing: "Never seen anything like it. Want the cherry one!" Equally impressed, a commenter joked: "Someone hold me back."
Another excited response read: "Omg I am going to have to go home bargains tomorrow!!" A commenter shared: "I need that!" A similar comment said: "Pfttt i need that, the price is good for the size as well."
A buyer added: "I got one and it's actually so so good I recommend." Someone else wrote: "I got the cherry one." Not everyone was sold on the design, though. A different response read: "It looks like a glue stick." Elsewhere, a commenter joked: "Would still end up losing it."
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the new lip balms are available on Home Bargains' website. Shoppers can locate their nearest store here. However, the retailer does stock various lip care products on its website.
On the pricier end of the scale, one option is 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!"
It includes: Wild Berry, Tropical, and Cupcake. Other options include the £2.99 Dr Pawpaw Glowing Trio Collection, the £1.99 Malibu Lip Care Balm 3 Pack - SPF30, and the £1.99 Hawaiian Tropic Tropical Lip Balm SPF30 4ml.
For fans of cherry scents, there's 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!
"Each 1.5g balm comes in a random flavour—cherry, strawberry, or watermelon, keeping your lips soft, smooth, and oh-so-kissable!"
The options include Cherry, Strawberry, and Watermelon scents. The product description for the Scented Lip Jelly says: "Treat your lips to our fun Scented Lip Jelly, keeping them soft, shiny, and smelling delicious with a surprise scent of either refreshing Watermelon or yummy Cherry.
"A little treat your lips will adore!" The options include Watermelon and Cherry scents.

We ditched the UK for Cyprus & now get year-long sun, bills are so cheap, we work half as much & have even bought a home
EXPAT ESCAPE We ditched the UK for Cyprus & now get year-long sun, bills are so cheap, we work half as much & have even bought a home A MUM has revealed why she packed up her life in the UK for sunny Cyprus. The mum-of-two took to social media to share how they moved to the country after Brexit. Advertisement 3 The Manns family ditched the UK for sunny Cyprus Credit: tiktok/@themannsofficial 3 The pair say life is much easier now and it's cheap too Credit: tiktok/@themannsofficial 3 The couple spend their time off exploring the island and don't plan to leave Credit: Getty In one clip, shared on The Mann's TikTok account, she and her partner said their plan A was to stay in England. Describing her life pre-Cyprus, she said it was a comfortable life and they could go on one to two holidays a year. But she said the limited hot weather and 'overworked' culture was something they wanted to ditch. They then decided they wanted more and headed to the sunny island to live out their dream. Advertisement Now, they get hot weather all year round and no longer need to go on holiday abroad as there's so much to do on the island. She said they also had a better quality of life out there which was more slow-paced. The mum was also happy to say that her two children, who are in primary school, are now going to a local Greek school and have become bilingual. The mum revealed that they rent out properties in the UK to make income and she also works as a wedding planner in Cyprus. Advertisement She revealed you need to earn £36,000 a year to live in Cyprus and you can work in the country if you are self-employed. The family have gone on to buy a house there to make it their forever home, and she says bills are super cheap too. All the free activities Cyprus has to offer For electricity, they spend around £87 a month, £17 on water, £13 on gas and £100 on council tax in a single year. Before buying their own property, she said rent for a two-bed villa with a pool was around £1,300 a month. Advertisement The mum said that their 'plan B' for life has been going very well for them, and they don't see themselves heading back to the UK anytime soon. She said: "It's such a massive decision to leave your 'normal', weighing up all the options, writing down lists of pros and cons (we actually did this). "But we didn't want to live with any regrets and we always knew that the UK isn't going anywhere. If it didn't work out, at least we tried! Luckily it has!" The clip was posted to their TikTok account @themannsofficial and went viral with over 138k views and 3,200 likes. Advertisement Moving house hacks 1. Declutter Before You Pack Sort through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. Donate, sell, or recycle items to lighten your load. 2. Create an Inventory Make a list of all your items. This helps keep track of everything and ensures nothing gets lost in the move. 3. Use Quality Packing Materials Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. This will protect your belongings during the move. 4. Label Everything Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking much easier and more organized. 5. Pack a 'First Day' Box Include essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This will keep you from rummaging through boxes on your first day. 6. Take Photos of Electronics Setup Before unplugging your electronics, take photos of the wiring setup. This will make it easier to reconnect everything at your new place. 7. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items Pack books and other heavy items in rolling suitcases. This makes them easier to transport and reduces the risk of injury. 8. Colour-Code Your Boxes Use different coloured stickers or markers for each room. This will help movers quickly identify where each box should go in your new home. People were quick to share their thoughts in the comments. One person wrote: "This is so helpful! The price on council tax, water and gas, pennies compared to the UK!" Another commented: "I used to work in Rhodes and would love to go back! Since Brexit, I thought it would not be possible. This gives me hope, so thank you!" "Currently in the process of Plan B!
