Raiding Poundland!

Hi Everyone,

It is no secret among my friends that I love Poundland. I can't help it- I just love a bargain! The one in Ealing is particularly brilliant, and I was pretty chuffed with myself that I managed to pick up these Rimmel goodies and a Macadamia Oil Body Butter for just £1 each! OK, I originally went in to buy some Vanish stain remover, but with savings like this on offer who can blame me...



In my Poundland mini-haul I bought a Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Varnish in Princess Pink, Rimmel Wake Me Up Shimmer Touch in both Radiant Rose and Shimmering Sand, and a Mellor & Russell Macadamia Oil Body Butter.

They had absolutely loads of nail polishes in Poundland, including some OPI 'Shatter' polishes and others from Collection 2000. I was tempted to stock up, but in the end settled on just one. I've seen loads of posts about girly pink and nude nails recently and I think its a great, low maintenance everyday look, so I'm hoping this one will be a good shade for me. It's a really nice, cream pink and sort of reminds me of strawberry yoghurt.



I couldn't believe my luck when I found these Rimmel highlighters in BOTH colours for just a pound! I have been wanting to try these out for a while but the £4.99 price tag seemed a little steep for such a small tube. I could not have asked for a better deal than this, and I cannot wait to try them out! These are standard sized tubes (14ml) and seem quite glittery from the swatches that I've done so far- I will let you know how I get on with them but reading various reviews it sounds like they might be more suitable for night time make-up than during the day.

Finally, I picked up this Macadamia Oil Body Butter. I have been reading all sorts of great things about Macadamia Oil recently and was hoping to find a hair mask in the range, but sadly couldn't so I went for the body butter instead. I have only tried a tiny bit so far, but the scent is really subtle and pleasant and the product's consistency feels thick and luxurious like those from the Body Shop. I think this will be a great alternative to my Peach Body Butter that I'm currently using, as the scent from that can at times be a bit overpowering.



So, there is my Poundland haul! I was impressed that all of the Rimmel products came in sealed packets so haven't been tested or tampered with, and the body butter had a foil seal so was unopened. I am going to try these out during the week so will be sure to let you know how I get on!

If you're a Poundland fan too, let me know!
