£1 Bargains - June/July

Hiya lovelies



I love the poundworld in the retail park near me it's only small but i have found some brilliant things in there so when we were pulling into the car park the other day I actually jumped out of my seat with excitement (yes sad I know) to find a poundLAND had opened up next door but 1 to poundWORLD.



In my head Im thinking 'is this how sad my life is, this is the happiest I have felt in a couple of weeks and all thanks to a a cheap shop ' and then I snapped out of it because there were lots of lovely bargains to be found.



So these are the bits I picked up are from both shops.


Allura make up sponges
Mark Hill holiday hair dry shampoo
Clearasil Ultra overnight serum
Chit Chat juicy lipstick in Damson
Revlon nail polish in 044 Blue Lagoon and 902 Craving Coral
Revlon nail polish 'matt suede' in 507 Fire Fox
Sinful Colors nail polish in 945 Soul Mate
W7 nail crackle in Sherbet Crackle

I have the Revlon craving coral on my nails today and i love it, it's really vibrant and this is what it looks like after 1 coat

June favourites

hiya everyone, yes i know its a little early but i cannot believe i havent done a monthly favourites before im always switching up he products i use and there are always things that i love one month and neglect the next so here are all my favroites for june



No7 Cream Blush & Real Techniques Stippling Brush


I picked this blusher up about 3 weeks ago and i love everything about it, the colour is amazing and its so creamy and smooth it works realy well with my stippling brush which has been neglected since my buffing brush came along.


Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation & Real Techniques Buffing Brush


This foundation is a lovely summer foundation it feels light on the skin and blends realy nice i have found that if i use powder over the top it dosent work so well, t goes blotchy i think thts because the foundation wears off after 9 or 10 hours and its like it was never ther but with powder on top it cannot do that and it just collects into patches and sits ontop of my skin.
The Buffing brush has been a firm fave ever since i got it i love the finish it gives its just a perfect brush.



Corn Silk Loose Powder & 17 Miracle Matt foundation


On days when i feel like i need more coverage iuse these two the foundation lasts all day gives a great coverage and i keeps me matt the only thing i have fopund with this is that it dosent woprk very well being applied with a brush because it dries so quick so i have been usiong my hands and the heat from myhands helps the foundation melt better into my skin and i can work with it longer. 

Soap & Glory - Foam Call, Schwartzkopf Gliss Shampoo & Nivea Invisable Deodrant


I love Soap & Glory and i was so eager to get this when it came out its taken over from clean on me as my fave body wash it smells like pulp friction and i love it it foams into a luxsurious lather and leaves my skin feeling clean and moisturised.
This shampoo leave my hair feeling more managable i think it only cost £1 im already on my second bottle.
I hate deodrants that claimto leave no marks but they actualy do but this one dosent leave anything and it dosent smell too powdery either.



Maybeline One by One Mascara & Rimmel 60 seconds nail polish


I have loved this mascara for so long it works brilliantly on my eyelashes, the brush is the perfect size and tapered at the end to reach all those little eyelashes that most other brushes miss it gives so much volume and definition.
Im so impatient when wating for my nails to dry i always end up smudging them, this actualy dries in 60n seconds and you only need 1 coat perfect the colour is 230 Portobello Pink.


I love reading monthly favourites posts so please leave my your links to yours if you have done one

Poundland individual false eyelashes

I have never used individual false lashes before only the strip ones which I don't really like how they feel on. I got these because I can apply them as light or heavy as I want and they are only £1.


The application itself was a lot easier than I first thought I used the same glue I use for the strip ones and I also use it to glue my extensions in, I love this glue it's flexible and strong but very easy to remove. I applied each individual lash with tweezers.


I hate it when I wear lashes and my eyelids feel heavy but these feel really light and they are versatile as you can make them as thick or thin as you like.


I wanted a fluttery lash with lots of volume and it's exactly what I got I love the finished look and they lasted all day, i will defiantly be repurchasing these again.

Collection 2000 cream puff

I have been wanting one if these for ages and eventually got around to getting one, it took me a while to choose which colour i wanted but I'm really pleased with the one i got.


I decided to get the shade Fairy Cake 3 this is the brightest of the 4 colours and i love bright lips because i usually do my eye make up quite simple


I really like the texture its smooth and creamy and gives a matt finish, the only problem i found with it is that after been on my lips a while it looks cracked the product dries into the creases on my lips but it does last a long time.

After application

After been on my lips for 20 mins

I have also worn this with a gloss over the top and it looks so much brighter


It lasts a couple of hours so there is no need for re-application I'm definitely going to have to get the other colours.

It smells so yummy too kind of like candy floss mixed with popcorn

whats your favourite shade and do you find it looks cracked on your lips after a while?

Vital eyes moisturising eye drops


For about 3 weeks my eyes have felt odd especially the right one it felt like there was something in it but I couldn't see anything and it was driving me crazy because it was watering all the time no matter what u did I just couldn't get rid of that feeling, it had got that bad I phoned the doctors but as usual they didn't have an app until next year so I had to try and sort it myself i started to think maybe its not some thing in it its just a little bit dry so i went in the hunt for some moisturising eye drops.

I picked these up in poundland, I hate putting things in my eyes It doesn't feel right putting wet stuff in them, a few years ago I tried the obtrex eye bath/wash thing and I chickened out I just couldn't open my eye in the liquid so I knew I was going to have to pluck up the courage to use these eye drops


I did manage to do it and it wasn't as bad as thought I must admit it took a couple of attempts to get the drops in haha.

I have used the drops about 4 times and Since using them my eyes feel like new, there's no more watering they feel really refreshed.

So I think that they were a little tired and irritated and the extra moisture that the drops gave were a massive help.

NO.7 vital brights cream blush

While i was in boots picking up a few things there was a stand at the checkout with some reduced products in and this was one of them it was a bargain at £1 reduced from £10 now I have no idea why it had been reduced there is nothing wrong with it.




The best thing is I have been looking for a bright pink blusher for ages and to find this beautiful colour and such a cheap price must have been fate.


I haven't used a cream blush before it's not that I didn't want to I just never got around to buying one, I wish I had got one sooner I love it you only need the smallest amount of product to get a nice colour, I have been applying this with my real techniques stippling brush and the two work wonderfully together.


The blush it's self is super pigmented this is just one swipe on my hand, the only thing is I don't think I would pay full price for this I mean 10 for a blusher is just a bit too much for me.

At full price it's available in two shades
Blooming Pink and Blossoming Pink
i got Blooming pink

Have you tried this blusher?
Whats your favourite cream blush?
