    It's been mentioned before to mixed reviews. Personally I didn't like it because it made my hair greasy and others said only use a little.

    For those seeking OPI shatter in the Basingstoke area there was a small selection in £land and a massive mound of it - all colours - in the 99p store.
    Also picked up some bags of jelly flops - the misshaped jelly belly beans. The KP crackers were there too but I didn't buy any.

    Ah, my hair is a big dry frizzy mess at the best of times so it would take a tanker oil to make it anywhere near greasy. The Argan oil makes it super soft but I can totally understand it would be too much for anyone with decent hair!

    In Kirkcaldy today they had Lanacane anti-chafing gel. They had this a while back and I've looked every time I'm in as it was £6.65 in Boots last time I bought it.

  • I got a 50 ml bottle of Cocoa Skin Therapy Oil in Keighley branch yesterday - £4.95 on Amazon (with p & p on top!). http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008MAVUOK. It feels lovely on the skin but be quick there was only a limited stock of it.

    I visited the Stratford-upon-Avon branch at the weekend (forget Shakespeare, Poundland is the real tourist trail ;) ) and picked up the following items which I've not seen locally:

    - Oz Botanics heat defence spray (RRP £3.99 on Fleabay)
    $(KGrHqJHJCoFHN9mN4gqBR3KZP,2tg~~60_35.JPG

    - a load of Rimmel goodies, including eyeliner, lip-liner, eyeshadow and these beauties that retail at £4.99 in Boots:

    - a 1L green plastic jug with a rubber (silicone?) handle, matches the rest of my silicone kitchen gadgets. Also available in purple and blue

    - a pack of 5 mini fridge magnet photo frames in a grey ("silver") shade, which work really well with grayscale prints. Also available in "gold", black, purple and blue.

    - a cake carrier to replace the one I accidentally "gifted" to an acquaintance (note to self: for use amongst friends and family only if you want to see it again). Also a matching 12-cupcake holder to encourage me to make smaller cakes - I picked up the plain white plastic, but there was a cute girly pink version available too.

    - as I was paying I noticed large mugs on the shelf behind the SA, bought one as I can never get enough tea. The capacity turned out to be 500ml (as measured with my new green jug!); the pattern was I :heart2: LONDON. The irony of a Londoner buying such an item in Stratford-upon-Avon was not lost on me.

    Who says its grim oop north? :D
