Another Poundland beauty haul


Since starting a new job right opposite a Poundland, I've found myself in there every single day stalking the makeup and buying beef jerky. I managed to pick all of these up within the first couple of days and I haven't managed to find anything decent since as it seems like they haven't had another delivery in yet. I'll definitely keep checking back though and I'll be having a look in the Birmingham stores today as it's been a couple of weeks since I checked them.

The best bargains I found were all from Rimmel. I think all of these are discontinued products as I haven't managed to find any of them online or in Boots or Superdrug since I bought these!
I picked up one of the Stay Matte concealers which conveniently, is in my shade Ivory. What I didn't realise is that this concealer actually has a green core so it helps to counteract any redness, making it perfect for blemishes! So far, I've only used this under my eyes to hide my dark circles but it's worked so well and lasts all day. I had to go back and pick up another one because I was so impressed.

I also found one of the Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch blush/highlighter creams in 002 Radiant Rose. I'd seen these in the shops months ago and had swatched them but wasn't really interested in buying one. However, for £1 I had to buy it and I've been using it most days as a blush to give a really subtle colour to my cheeks. I also picked up another one a few days later.

 I got one of the Kate Moss matte lipsticks in #113 which is a very pale, peachy nude. I'm not entirely sure why I bought this, the colour will completely wash me out but for just £1, I really couldn't resist.

The final Rimmel item I found is another lipstick. This is from their Moisture Renew range and is in shade 500 Berry Rose. It's a 'my lips but better' kind of colour, a pinky red with a slight shimmer to it. It's the sort of thing that you can wear on more formal occasions, like a job interview. I wasn't sure at first, but I really love it now and it's made me want to pick up a couple of the new shades from the range!

  1. I love Rimmel lip products! I would never be able to pull off that nude colour, but perhaps it would mix well to lighten another? I have the Kate Moss lipstick in 107 :)
    Some good finds~
