    Picked up some lovely make up bargains this week:
    Rimmel 1000 kisses lip stain (rrp 5.99)
    Revlon Just Bitten lip stain was also instock
    Sleek lipstick (usually £4.29 in superdrug)
    Also spotted in the 99p Store today they had tons of Veet in shower hair removal cream+sponge sets. I looked it up on my phone some of them sell for £6+ in wilkinsons! (I know there's a separate thread for the 99p store but it's pretty dead)

    will lookout for the revlon tint, thanks op :)

    We don't have the 99p stores in the local area - perhaps because they are a Southern-based chain and only gradually moving north. I do feel deprived!

    But you have Home Bargains up north. :)

    Thanks for all the posts. Got a list going for the next time I'm in Poundland. My brother would love the Nerds!

    Maybe we should show support and have a 99p store bargain thread!
    We do! I don't understand why it's so poorly populated though, I much prefer it to Pundland!

    This is very true re Home Bargains (and BM Bargains), though my nearest HB is some distance away. HB are in Wales though - my sis has one on her doorstep practically, in Cardiff.
    My son would love the Nerds... I feel a PL visit coming!

    I just found the 99p store website - there is one in Middlesbrough and one in Hartlepool. Cool.

  • I am loving the Nivea Argan Oil Lipglosses that my local has at the moment. I've bought two colours and they are a really good quality and very moisturising.

  • Does anyone else have problems getting the glittery chit chat nail varnish off? I used it over another nail varnish and when I took it off with nail varnish remover it only took the original varnish off plus the colour of the glitter so was left with silver glitter still. I had to scrape it off in the end! Still love it though, it looks lovely! :)

    You would be surprised, HBs are popping up everywhere. They have a Goofle map showing every one within 100 miles of your location:

    I left both of the "radio" buttons blank, it looks like Google knows where your server is located.:eek:

    Anyway it looks like Sturry Road Canterbury, not a million miles from the Canterbury Asda, is the furthest from HB's origins?

    I did make PL Darlington today (and also P'world D'ton.). In PL I bought some Dorset Cereals fruit muesli, 410g.

    At first, I thought this compared really well with A!di's own brand, (500g, £1.59) but on looking at the labels closely, A!di's is over 50% fruit, but Dorset Cereals' is just 30%.

    Hordes of sweets but no Nerds. Never mind...!
