Poundland Bargain Thread -

LouLou

Here's a "wall of bargains" (cleaning stuff) from Argyle Street, Glasgow, just before closing at 9pm. Very likely just store-specific.

Top Shelf, Left-Right: Clean Zone Cellulose Sponge Cloths x 6 - 50p, Laundry Bag, Wash Bag (no price that I can see, but assume they're 50p), Patterned Pegs - 50p, 4 x Patterned Microfibre Cloths (with green ribbon round them) - 50p, Multi-Use Descaler Bottles (look like they're 500ml but can't tell for sure) - 50p.

Shelf Below, Left-Right: Toilet Duck Pine (not sure of price, can't see stickers), Sink & Drain Gel 1 litre - 25p, Elbow Grease All-Purpose Degreaser - 500ml - 50p, Drain Brite 50p, Scale Away Packets (just out of shot) assume they're 50p as well.

Next Shelf, Left-Right: Astonish Descaler 750ml - 25p, Dettol Power Fresh Spray 500ml - 50p, Dettol Complete Clean 1 litre - 50p.

Bottom Shelf, Left-Right: Dettol 3x Power Gel (blue) Bathroom Spray 500ml - 50p, Dettol 3x Power Gel (green) Multi-Purpose Spray 500ml - 50p, Astonish Fabric Refresher Spray Cotton Fresh - 50p.

On the far left and far on hanging strips, are Kettle Descaler packs (unsure of price).

Edit: Went back two days later, and there's very little left. The patterned microfibre cloths are cute and I bought more for prezzies...

This Poundland also has 50L storage boxes (with lids) reduced half-price to £2, but quite a few are dinged. In different colours, Pink, Blue, Clear, Grey. You can choose different colours of lids but I just bought a matching colour - apart from the Clear, as there's no Clear lids - chose Black.

I was a little selfish about the Storage Boxes and kept them to myself - as my poor arms can only carry so much and I wanted to collect a few over the days! Thought if I added them here first they'd all disappear!

Also, remember those "rattan" design Curver-like storage boxes (much smaller than 50L!) in White, Black or Grey? This store now stocks them in Navy Blue colour - which I prefer. Unfortunately I've deleted the photo somehow!

Definitely going to look out for the “burst of coral” shade. I can’t see myself wearing the others at all, as I prefer dark strong shades to bright ones.

My search - not that I have looked very hard - has been in vain. I'd like to know whether they have been spotted outside of Scotland.

Two Star Wars clip boxes.
They seem really good for the price. https://www.poundshop.com/star-wars-record-bag.html
Looks like out f stock now

You can get 5% off first order

The customer service is quite poor however,

Argyle Street, Glasgow last night (alas, no photos, as my phone decided to die today )
I have Barcelona Nights, Rio Crush and Shanghai Sizzle (sis took a pale pink one, think it was LA Exclusive). There was also a darker one - New York Scene, I think, too browny/plum-y for my tastes.

Here's one review: http://www.thehappysloths.com/2014/08/revlon-colorstay-moisture-stain-review-swatches.html

Haven't come across these in my travels, but will be looking out for them for sure.

Bought a few £1 19L storage boxes this week.

They are pure black with black lids so will need labels, but the beauty of the size is they fit in a wardrobe easier, and can be stacked (50L is sometimes just a bit big to lug to a high shelf).

Perfect for summer caps, flip-flops etc. Swap in summer for scarves, woolly hats (for a couple of weeks when we see the sun in the UK anyway!)

Quite a good day at Poundland today. I found some bags of chocolate Santas and GBP “notes” which are a perfect size for my little niece’s advent calendar. I was also pleased to find an A5 day to page diary, exactly the same wa being sold in The Works for £3.

They are in stock in limited numbers and shades. Today I picked up a Parisian Passion; there was also a London Posh and Miami Fever. I was after India Intrigue so will keep looking

Still no camera access but I managed to pick up this from Argyle Street, Glasgow - NYC Skin Matching Foundation, 691 Honey Light.
Picture from a Czech blogger Makeupalley seems to hate it, though - d'oh.

And I managed to rummage down the back of the hanging strip pack makeup display, a Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain was there in Parisian Passion. I'd never wear that colour in a million years (would make me look too pale!), but think my teenage niece will like it.

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.
