Claws out!



Bought these gardening gloves on impulse today (£1, Edinburgh Princes St). Very gimmicky but my nails always poke holes in rubber gloves, so, fingers crossed, these'll last a bit longer.

Ferine, erm, not sure... (Edit: ebay listings tell me this is a Sauvage copy!) eg, here​
Valentine's mugs are reduced to 25p iirc, and here's a few others I didn't see on my travels before:
I Love Every Bone In My Body #especially yours (!)
You're My Favourite Ride (!)

Edit 25th February: Tried the Ferine fragrance last night (someone had ripped open a box in the Trongate store) and it's actually pretty good and lasts a while.
Re the name, GeneralTactifer on HUKD pointed out that Ferine = Feral/Sauvage = Wild, which makes sense. D'oh!
Haven't seen any testers out of First Man, so can't comment on that yet.

Sleek Creme To Powder Foundation (Oil-Free) 8.5g compacts (all pretty dark shades again), £1

I saw these in my local branch and decided to take a punt for just £1 each. (Googling the colour palette online was not much more reliable than the shades the packaging showed). I bought the compact in the lightest shade I saw, which was C2P04, and the liquid in LP08. 

Neither shade was right, and I can accept that this was the risk I took. I wasn't overly impressed with the quality of the compact, it in no way compares to MAC studio fix but is ok over foundation I suppose. The liquid was better, and good value compared to my usual, which retails at £30 per bottle. So its ok if you want to spare the usage of your usual product, if this was my only experience of facial make-up I probably wouldn't bother though.

Poundland has been a bit short on things I actually need of late. I like the idea of adding to my mug collection for 25p a pop, but the slogans really are so vulgar I'll give them a miss.

Has anyone else had a problem with the 3-way plug adapters from Poundland?

I bought a couple before Christmas to cater for my additional fairy light needs. They were fine but then the demand for power was not high.

If its faulty, return it.

Even when only one charger is plugged in it blows the fuse in the adapter, thought it was just a one-off but has happened twice, Will be informing shop.
