I was after India Intrigue so will keep looking

No luck, but I picked up Barcelona Nights which was the next nearest shade.

I've tried both shades and am pleased with the product. I applied two layers in quick succession and that gave a nice colour, and not an overly dark-and-jammy effect that the pics in the blog show. Its moisturising, and doesn't feel sticky in the way that lip gloss does. I'll readily use this instead of my usual lipsticks, so for £1 I'm happy.

BUT: its worth noting that the product is either old or has been rejected from the production line. Both the ones I bought had a very slight graininess that I guess a recently or perfectly manufactured item wouldn't have.

Picked up 6 pale grey plastic baskets, approx 4" x 7", two for £1.
Will fit 2 HM jars of preserves in, with a bit of shred and some cello wrap for xmas gifts

Still phone-less/camera-less (but on the bright side, makes it easier for others to scroll through the thread!).

Trongate, Glasgow, earlier - Shopkins 2018 Annual.

And "Amazing Value" Crazy Beans, Assorted Fruit Flavour Beans 500g - they also had Cream Rocks (liquorice tubes with white filling), apparently Liquorice Allsorts big bags are out there too https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/liquorice-allsorts-500g-or-klene-liquorice-bag-250g-only-100-poundland-2843050

Revlon Balm Stain sticks in Sauchiehall Street and Argyle Street, Glasgow at the moment (got Shades 055 Adore, 030 Smitten, 065 Irresistible, 220 Showy - which is Matte) there's also a Corally/peachy colour but I didn't buy that one.

Maybelline Be Brilliant! Lash Candy 6.9ml (some sort of glittery mascara top coat, good for the festive season) - was in Argyle Street.

Goody Simple Styles hair accessories (Light Hair or Dark Hair options) in Sauchiehall Street:

Volume Boost, Bun Spiral and Fountain Flip.

(Didn't add all images as they take up too much space, but so you know what to look out for).

What do you think of the bun spiral?

Saw a few more annuals in Argyle Street, Glasgow: The Emoji Movie 2018, Minecraft Tips & Cheats 2018, Animal Jam 2018 and Shopkins (again).

About their Calendars - every year I buy boyf the Doctor Who Calendar, Poundland aren't doing it this year (boo).

@VfM4meplse: Bought the Goody accessories for my niece, I'm afraid.

Don't know if Poundland are being passive-aggressive or I'm having a sense of humour failure This is from their Facebook Feed an hour ago:

"Tell your mates if they sell our £1 decorations for £4 again, they’re toast....Also, marmalade is so overrated." (I know it's about Marmite, but...) https://www.facebook.com/Poundland/videos/10159726621995397/

Three hours ago there was this: https://www.facebook.com/Poundland/photos/a.10150207274165397.437048.14813960396/10159727191560397/?type=3&theater

...obviously, they're not exactly the same....but both options are nice decorations.

Thanks LouLou picked up a few of the Revlon colourburst lip crayons in the Dundee store, was even more chuffed when I spotted them in the superdrug next door for £7.99! Didn't see any goody hair stuff, the brand is usually excellent I've had several brilliant "ouchless" hairbrushes from them & their hairbands are great, that hair bun thing looks a bit too fiddly though. For pinning a bun I'd recommend the twisty hair pins, poundland have them in the allura range, just twist them into the bun and they keep it in place really well.

Avoid the Toblerone rip-offs they have in store at the moment called "Twin Peaks". I thought the chocolate was very hard and very poor flavour. Worth paying a bit more for the proper stuff -
Twin Peaks £1 for 180g
Toblerone £1 for 150g
