My local had the whole range of them. I must admit I was very temped at first they look at bit like those expensive masks you can get from lush, however they are not fresh so its just the packaging/homemade style to give that impression.


I'd be interested to know if anyone has tried them and what they think. Despite the appearance there doesn't seem to be anything special about them, for the amount you get they are quite expensive.

They look like a waste of a pound to me. But then I was clutching my Neutrogena at the time.

Oops, forgot to add these, from Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow yesterday:

Johnson's Kids Conditioner Spray Shiny Drops 200ml (with a drop of Argan Oil/No More Tears/with a touch of silk proteins), for enhanced shine and silky soft hair, £1

Store-specific I'm guessing, 135ml Cocktail Toppers. Cranberry Bellini, Strawberry Bellini, Peach Bellini, 50p.


Argyle Street, tonight (Thursday):
More MUA Luxe items out there - MUA Shimmer Sheets (White Gold) and an MUA Blusher in a hanging strip pack, £1.

Poundland are starting to get pots back in again (ready for summer) - these are definitely £1 as I bought some reasonably recently.

Next to them are these terracotta pots, assume they're also £1, no pricing anywhere.

Game On! The League Of Superhero Games/Top 10 For Kids Gaming/Game On! Go Gaming! books, £1 each.

Poundland (Staines-upon-Thames) are stocking dual Lightning and USB Micro-B cables- and what's more - they actually work!

Pound store Lightning cables have always been a bit of a joke as far as I was concerned . They either did not work or were at best intermittent as far as synch and charging were concerned. I stuck to Belkin and other Apple certified cables,often costing northwards of 10 quid.

I noticed Poundland are now stocking a new make: Fully charged. They do separate Lighnting and Usb-Micro-B (Android) cables, however the dual cables are the best value for money and they seem to go quickly. I had to search through dozens of single use cables to find a couple of dual ones.

They are not Apple certified but after a week of using these cables I have not had a single issue with either charging or synching of both IOS and Android devices.

In my opinion a bargain

bigclive is a good man to follow (on Youtube) if you need reassurance on some of the Poundland tat, er, electronics Poundland's fare is/was generally better than the now-defunct Poundworld.

Thanks, LouLou. Spotted the terracotta pots were back in last week. Def. £1.00 for 21cm and 20cm pots.

Picked up Ten Baby Massage Oil yesterday - quite like it.

I got hold of one of these yesterday and agree, its a nice product and ideal for massaging into the skin after an evening bath - which is what I'm going to do now! The smell is very gentle.

I was on the lookout for these but my local Poundland chose to display them after the tills which is a bit late once you've paid and got your hands full!

Your store has amazing items for £1. I'll have to visit the stores near me and see if they are as good. Thanks for posting.
