Poundland haul #3 (and FOTD)



*Products present in selfie*

Ive already posted 2 pound land hauls on my blog so this seems to be becoming a regular item on here. In my first pound land haul I explained how I've never found any faulty products as some people do experience after finding some hidden gems in there such as Rimmel and Stila. The same has occurred on another little trip I made in there the other day. None of the products I've found were dried up or damaged in anyway shape or form. 

The most exciting product I found was the Rimmel scandal eyes liquid eyeliner. (For course all of these products were only £1) I also found another CK eyeshadow in a beautiful burgundy purple colour.  Ive already got 3 of these from a pervious pound land visit and I have been using them regularly since then. They use to retail for £11 but have now been discontinued hence there presence in poundland shops. I also found a beautiful Barry M magnetic nail polish which has been a nice addition to my already out of control nail polish collection. Lastly I pick up two more Rimmel products, a scandaleyes waterproof kohl eyeliner pencil in Nude and a Rimmel lipliner in Red diva 24.

Usual selling price 

Rimmel scandal eyes liquid eyeliner - £5.49
CK eyeshadows - (now discontinued ) did use to retail for £11
Barry M magnetic nail polish - £4.99
Rimmel eyeliner - £3.99
Rimmel lipliner - £3.99

Therefore the cost of all these products would result in a total spend of £29.46 in comparison to the £5 I spent.

Poundland makeup


I have heard both great and bad  things about Poundland in the past in terms of selling some high end / high street make-up, obviously for £1. I was always a bit dubious and  I was never really willing to have a look but after walking past a large poundland store the other day I decided to bite the bullet and have a look around. Its safe to say I am every glad I did. I came out with 6 things, obviously resulting in £6 spent.

I really cant believe some of the brands they stock! They stock products which have either been discontinued or having been moved by another retailer in an attempt to free up warehouse space or as a last attempt to make some revenue after being stocked in leading retailers such as boots.


The products

Ck tempting glimmer sheer crème eye shadows in vingle indigo and cashmere plum - From what I can gather from the internet and past reviews they have been discontinued about last year, however use to retail at around £11 each!

Astor perfect Stay Lip Tint in 150 Bols de Rose - I couldn't find an original price anywhere apart from at www.thecosmetichouse.co.uk, where they state it normally retails at £10.99, however I am not completely sure of this.

Rimmel powder blush 041 bronze - £3.99  

Rimmel soft kohl kajal eye pencil 011 sable brown - £2.99

Rimmel scandaleyes eyeshadow paint 002 late grey - £4.99

= meaning if I bought all the items at full price it would result in £44.96 being spent

In the future I can see poundland visits a regular thing,  but next time include some other bargain shops to see what they have to offer. I am aware many people are against buying in these shops for various reasons, I have read lots of blog posts against buying in these shops due to not being aware of the expiry date, however none of the products I had bought were pre opened and I wont ever buy nail polishes as they do tend to go 'wrong' being in any incorrect condition. I now find poundland shops as a great way for some people who don't always have a lot of money to spend or for bargain hunters to go wild on cosmetics.
