Sorry if this has been mentioned before, and I've missed it. Lots of Frozen stuff in Glasgow Fort - handwash, shampoo, bubble bath, loom bands, magic facecloths (the small cellophane wrapped ones you put in water and they unravel), Anna and Olaf sponges, advent calendars, nail polish, and jewellery.

Must have been - would explain why they were at the till and why the queue was held up!

I was in retail (very part time to supplement my income) when the fragrances were launched, they were never brilliant sellers and were not to my personal taste.

When in Poundland, Sauchiehall Street (Glasgow) yesterday, I noticed they were setting up an own-brand makeup stall, Makeup Gallery. Wonder if it will be on a par with the Superdrug range MUA* which started off with £1 cosmetics? (Of which I have and use a few items: great pigmentation and value for £1).

Lip glosses, lipsticks, foundations, concealers, pressed powder, varnishes, kohl pencils, blushers, mascaras, etc.

Has anyone tried this range yet? Having a permanent, extensive makeup range may be a good idea, but they are up against pricier brands (though temporary overstock/old ranges) such as Revlon, Maybelline, Sally Hansen, Rimmel, etc. I think Poundland's current makeup range is Chit Chat?

*MUA (Makeup Academy) is owned by FB Beauty who do Vivo, Look Beauty, Famous By Sue Moxley (or at least, did), Accessorize makeup, even Glee, Love Hearts and JLS perfumes! Wonder if Makeup Gallery is made by the same company...

I saw this, I thought the nail polishes looked quite good! I got one of the nail oils, so will see if it's any good! If you like MUA have you tried Makeup Revolution? Some superdrugs do stock it, they do really good products too for cheap :A

Teazone products eg face wash and scrub. creightons brilliant brunette shampoo and conditioner better and much cheaper than the john frieda equivalent. creightons also do a daisy deep clean shower gel that is similar to soap and glorys clean on me shower. I love poundland its the best pound shop and their customer services is really helpful.
