    Some of this is standard Poundland fare, but may be of use to someone. Argyle Street, Glasgow about an hour ago:

    My Little Pony Cutie Magic Socks, Paddy's Bathroom Squirty Stuff - Smells Like Squishy Mangoes - Body Wash 200ml (was at the Baby/Toddler section),
    Makeup Gallery Powder Puffs x 5 (took one out!), 3 Clear Claw Clips (also in Black), Tommee Tippee Essentials Cherry Soother (6-18m - other ages/colours available), 4 Tortoiseshell Hair Clips, Millie "ice lolly" Hair Clips x 6, #flashmob Hair Mascara & Highlight Chalks 10.2ml, 6g.
    Schwarzkopf Essence Ultime Lotus Complex + Colour Protect Intensive Mask (With UV Filter), 200ml.

    Didn't see any diamante hair accessories in there, alas.

    The Allura styling pins are great, have been around for a while but I should warn you they do not work brilliantly in very smooth / shiny hair. If you are naturally blessed with such locks, either wait until hair is at least a day post washing, or rough it up a bit.

    Speaking of hair, avoid this product at all costs:.

    NatrOil-Permanent-Hair-Colours-0068551.jpg?sw=545&sh=545&sm=fit

    Three of us shared a pack yesterday (2 with long hair, one with short), there was so much if the stuff we still had to throw 1/4 away. The reason we made it all up is because I knew from experience with Olio that it wouldn't divide well became of the oil content, my usual technique for roots. The result for all 3 of us was an utter oil slick, the hair didn't colour well, took an age to dry and when it eventually did we looked like we'd emerged from the Exxon Valdez disaster. Not a good look, we had to wash our hair again a few hours later.

    I'm in my Poundland(s) pretty faithfully and I've never seen Natroil (I'd probably pick it up for someone to try, as I know Olia has its fans).

    I can see comments about it going back over a year ago so maybe it's been in stores a while (is Derma V10 exclusively a Poundland brand - not sure?).

    With the horrible reviews I'm surprised they haven't taken it off sale.

    Someone on Facebook complaining directly to Derma V10 around January 2017: https://www.facebook.com/DermaV10/posts/1228212427231975

    (two even got compensation!)

    Amazon reviews: https://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B01KTTLJOC/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_summary?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=helpful

    I can see a blogger, Life Goddess, has left a rave review which is a bit baffling (praising both colour and conditioning).

    Sounds like nasty stuff! Glad I haven't found it on my travels!

    I can't verify this myself as it's not mentioned on their website though just saw on HUKD that Poundland are currently selling Frank Cooper's Original Oxford marmalade. This may also be store specific.

    In reply to the question -Derma V10 products were stocked at Aldi a few years back (unsure if it still is).
  • Derma V10 has also been sighted in Home Bargains, Savers, Poundworld, Bodycare .

    Edit: CuddlesTC on HUKD says that Aqueous Cream is no longer recommended for eczema (didn't know this).

    Aqueous cream should never be put neat on eczema or skin.

    It is not a lotion/cream. It is a soap substitute.

    Used correctly as a soap along with water it is great stuff and good for eczema. My son uses it for his. I occasionally use it myself it leaves skin soft without having to put on lotion/cream afterwards.

    This is not true, it is licensed for both and recommended for both.

    The issue is that those with eczema have inflamed skin that may then react further to the SLS. That's where Aquamax might have the edge.
