Home Bargains shoppers 'need' £2 item as they've 'never seen anything like it'
Home Bargains customers have gone wild for the new product, and people say they have "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.
