    I have just done a search but can't seem to find any information about them. Anyone know anything?? I wish that superdrug had never got rid of their Kolok range , their foundation was better than the clinique foundation i had been using, Sigh:o

    Superdrug are bringing out a colour cosmetic range where everything is £1. At that price the only cheaper option is shop lifting.

    I don't know how good they are going to be, but at that price I think they would be worth giving a try.

    I was told that the range launches in April, so might not have hit the shops yet. I will keep my eyes open.

    I know this is slightly over the £5 mark, but i recently purchased some tigi haircare products in tk maxx for £5.99 and £6.99 each. Usually they are £10 or more. Smell gorgeous and very luxurious. Some hair salons use them. Also seem to be sulphate free. Hth someone. Have enjoyed reading all the posts!
  • I can recommend wet and wild lip glosses. It is a brand more popular in the States but there is a UK site. Their make up starts from 99p which is comparable to an equivalent £6 product from Maybelline. If you order over £10, you sometimes get free delivey so you can stock up on quite a few items.

    I've tried their site a few times and it only comes up as text only? I can't see anything hmmm
    Thanks though, will keep trying xx

    Yesterday in the Poundland in Reading I bought some large tubes of Pure Body Sculpting Cream for (guess what?) £1 each.

    No idea about the "body sculpting" bit, but it is an excellent body cream and smells absolutely wonderful!

    Many thanks to whoever it was who mentioned that some of these Pure-labelled products in Poundland are actually Boots Botanics in disguise.

    its part of the skin care range, its in a green tube with a leaf on it. it is fab. i have only been using it since i heard about it on this site, and i love it - so much so that i stocked up while it was on half price.

    i believe you use it under your moisturiser and make up - well at least i do and it works a treat, and smells great too.

    Haven't caught up with this thread for a while so it might've been mentioned already but if not - Primark's makeup range is really excellent and so cheap! I've heard good things about the nail varnishes (they currently have a set of 4 spring pastel shades for £2) and I bought the eyeshadow kit (again, pretty pastel shades for spring) for £2 which is fab.

    The packaging is very similar to Benefit's with a retro style and quirky, witty names. The liquid liners (£1.50) are excellent as is the blush/bronzer kit and face primer. I think I need the entire range!

    They also do lip balms in their fruity range - I bought the coconut one and although it's a little sticky, it smells delicious and is really moisturising. That was 99p.
