As a general rule, I've found these people to be very cheap for brand names. Good delivery costs and time too.

I agree Faithless - I like the face one and was really surprised at how nice it felt, for so little cash...

Today I found a 40ml size of Rescue Oil in Poundland. This is just over half the size of Wilkinson's (75 ml) for £1.99, which is brilliant for scars and for general skin use, rather like Bio Oil. I use this regularly

I think this is a very useful size (and price, £1, of course) for holidays, as it makes a good after-sun lotion, bath oil etc.

I used a whole 200ml bio oil & broke into my back up 200ml bottle on holiday:eek: (a 2 week holiday)

ooh i like this thread!!

found some great eyeliners in wilkinsons!two in a pack for £1, they're black with "image" written in white on the pencil, in a plastic packet. part of a whole range at £1 each or 3 for £2, although I havent tried the rest.
I got a black and a brown in my packet - really nice and creamy, stayed on all day yesterday (first time I'd tried them) and there's a sharpener built in the lid. i won't be buying my bourjois ones any more!

I found some Cover Girl TruBlend make-up in a fancy pump bottle at Poundland yesterday. It's a very well respected brand in the US. I mix it with a paler foundation to get an exact colour match for my skin. Try it!

I bought the day & night cream which are fine, so i thought i would give their roll on deoderant a try. Please avoid this. I have ruined quite a few tops as it leaves white marks on clothes that haven't been removed even after washing. Sometimes I buy "Simple" deo, which works. Can anyone else recommend a good one?

i like the sure girl one with a pink lid (think it's tropical). never had white marks from it, and the smell is amazing...think it's for teenagers judging by the packaging

ooh another thing is the brow powder from poundland - it's a revlon one and the best thing i've found for mine (i dye my hair from light blonde to dark brown so look eyebrowless without anything) two shades in each compact, a lighter one and a darker one. it's brilliant.

and also the revlon skin primer - it's illuminating, and makes my foundation go on really smoothly. again, from poundland by revlon.
