Schick™ Hydro Silk Razor Kit
“I have used the Schick Hydro Silk razor for many years as it is a great and reliable razor which I know works very well, the cut of hair is so close to the skin I don’t have to shave as often as I have had to with other brands. It does not irritate my skin which gives me piece of mind knowing I can use it with confidence and won’t get any irritation I think this is partly because of the gel attached to the razor.” – Saffy86

“It stayed on through a sweaty gym workout with no flaking, smudging, or smearing and it even stayed on in the shower! I didn’t rub my eyes in the shower but the water hitting my face didn’t cause the mascara to smudge or smear at all. It removed pretty easily with my Banila Co Nourishing oil cleanser. Best of all it doesn’t irritate, burn, or affect my sensitive, contact lens wearing eyes in any way.” – Katie08

Searching this page in the time of Covid 19 – supermarket buys might be our only option, so these are great ones. If we can get our hands on them
This article deserves to be bookmarked.
Gaia is very good, their sleepy time bath is fantastic ♡♡
I haven't tried any of them, but I think supermarkets are getting better and better with the selection of products they stock.
I've tried frizz ease hair serum and batiste. Both given to me. So far no fave supermarket buy that I really need.
I love reading up on supermarket products and am always willing to try something I haven't seen before as long as I believe it suits my skin or hair. Love these BH articles.
Pore strips and wax strips are my staple
Lovely list of items. Thanks BH.
I've tried quite a few of these products. My current fav is Cetaphil Moisturiser.
I've tried a lot of these but I think almost all have come in goody bags or reward rooms! Dove roll on is my go to deodorant but usually in a different 'scent'. With supermarket shopping you just have to look out for bargains before you need something.
Method products. Love.
Im still grabbing my Olay miracle essence from the supermarket but only when its half price. I will buy something if its on sale but mostly i purchase my beauty products at Priceline.
I don't normally buy beauty or skincare products from the supermarket
Great list. Thanks
So many great brands and quality products at accessible prices. I've tried a lot of these and like them. I've not seen or heard of method before.
I always use the Olay BB cream, it's so good and often half price, also the Batiste dry shampoo is a bathroom staple
I have tried a few of these products. The MUD nail varnishes and make-up is great. I also love the Dermaveen and Biore strips.
Quite accidentally found a "throw out" bin in supermarket his morning. I have now stocked up on eye shadow, lip gloss and mascara. All around the $3 mark. Cannot go wrong there!!
Ooooh the Mud Gel Polish looks nice that colour! Want to try! Thanks for the interesting and exciting list bh! Loved flicking through these and gonna go and re-flick through them again!
I love Herbal Essences labelling and packaging colours etc – it makes me so want to just buy it and try it!!
Some familiar products here! I love the Batiste dry shampoo, always a staple in my bathroom
I have tried a few of these but now I know what to look out for next time I'm shopping. Thanks!!
I am not too sure about some of these, but I can see that this article has been updated to contain some newer products which is really appreciated! Thank you, BH
Beach Defence FOREVER. The rest can go.
Thre is nothing better than going to your local supermarket and zapping up these bargains.
I buy a lot of my standard beauty products from supermarkets. Sukin is one which i have been buying often recently
Love the Aveeno Sheer Hydration lotion, using it at the moment.
I see they've updated this list. A lot of my faves are here: Schick Hydro Silk & Revlon Super Lustrous are amazing. I've been buying Cetaphil for years: I use it before going on a date & it makes my skin freakishly soft. I've been looking for an Aussie-made alternative, but so far, nothing makes my skin so unbelievably soft to the touch.
I really like to browse the beauty aisles to check out what's on special at the supermarkets.
Love getting a bargain like that. Certainly can't go wrong with those prices.
It's good to see this article has been updated. I think there are lots of basic products worth seeking out at supermarkets.
Aveeno all the way great body moisturiser and wash, Massive fan of Blistex, its a staple of mine, just shows you can get some great beauty products for next to nix
Few interesting looking things here! The Cancer Council BB Cream is lovely. I won some in a Beauty Heaven Prizepack not so long ago. I haven’t had much chance to try it yet cos I’m in hospital. Dove Deodorant keeps me fresh all day, the Method Handwash smells fresh and fruity, and the Herbal Essences smells great too. Heaps of lovely scents to choose from!
I really love the look of that Eco Tools Six Piece Starter Collection brush set. I’m looking for a set for my handbag and it looks perfect.
I always like checking on the products and prices at the supermarket when I am there as they often have surprising new items and very good value. Some of the ones here are great.
its great we can get good products in the supermarket, I use a few of these – Baptiste dry shampoo and Dove deodorant are my staples
So many goodies here !!
Have tried a few of these. Love Batiste dry shampoo , dove deodorant and Cetaphil are my usual items. All great.
I want to try them all!!
I don't need an excuse to top on my supplies when doing the grocery shopping
Biore cleansing strips as well as the Aveeno are both fantastic products. Aveeno is perfect for the whole family.
oh…totally forgot! I never used lip liner before, so decided to get one to try. Got Rimmel Eastend Snob, my perfect nude! Ya, this is my fave supermarket beauty buy. Would repurchase.
I always have batiste dry shampoo in my collection
I have tried a few of these products. I buy a lot of supermarket products especially when they're on sale. My favourite has to be batiste dry shampoo. Always stock up when it's 50% off.
Sooo many great products here that myself and the whole family use. I absolutely love Doves deodorant. The fragrance is so lovely.
I always use the Dove deodorant
Have always loved the Gaia baby products
Method is a great cleaning brand, wish more stores stocked it.
Have used a number of these in the past. Favourites from this list are the Method hand wash, Ecotools brushes, Frizz Ease 6 effects, and Gaia baby shampoo.
The Method hand wash smells gorgeous!
There are some great products here. I love Batiste dry shampoo!
