I take a trip too the pound shop - £1 Stila Cosmetics

I was super surprised too see such a high end brand in the pound shop, but pleasantly surprised :) 

 They only have three products that i could see , a foundation that was supersuper dark ,would be OK if I was black, also some foundation compact sponge refills , and a dry shampoo or a hair refresher as Stila calls it. 

 

Below are the products I purchased both being £1 each , left is the foundation sponge refills and on the right is the hair refresher , jade blossom dry shampoo .

There isn't much to say about the sponges only that you get 6 all together and come individually packed , I don't use sponges for my foundation but if I'm going away for a few days I might depot some foundation and take one of these sponges to save some space . 

The hair refresher doesn't smell like blossoms , nor do I know what blossoms smell like ...oops 

but I know what baby powder smells like and this smells like baby powder .

Have you found any other Stila cosmetics at the pound shop?

I take a trip to the poundshop - Revelon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain , Pound shop dupe.

I found myself once again at the beauty section in the Pound Shop , the Chit Chat Juicy Lipstick in Peony  caught my eye ( awful name i know ! ) , Peony is a gorgeous soft baby pink , and its super buildable so great for when you want a suttle colour , or when you want your lips to pop . I then purchased Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain in shade Darling Cherie , i haven't got any lip product in this type if shade its such a beautiful soft lilac, not sure i would layer it on though , it looks a bit clown like on me , but its lovely applied lightly. 

Obviously the prices are completely different the Revlon one being £5.99 in Superdrug as a introduction price , but it will soon be £7.99 , and the one from the Pound Shop is well......£1 duh ! 

When swatching them i found the Chit Chat one to be allot more creamy and easier to  apply , I think this is because its a lipstick not a stain , but the formula's are very much the same.

 Both products have the same amount of pigmentation , and the packaging is near enough the same both with a twisty bottom and plastic lid , only difference being  the Revlon one has fancy silver accents and a opaque lid . As you can see by the picture  you get more product in the Revlon lip stain , both have very distinctive scents , I admit I prefer the Revlon scent as its very minty which i love love love , the chit chat lipstick has a strong fruity floral scent which is nice . 

    

Chit Chat Juicy Lipstick in Peony

 Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain in Darling Cherie

 Overall the Chit Chat juicy lipstick ( that names just makes me cringe every time) is a great dupe , plus is only a pound so you cant really complain , will defiantly be repurchasing some more of these really impressed .  

 Will you me trying this dupe ?

I take a little trip to the pound shop -Revlon Nail varnish for £1

I rarely take a gander in the pound shop , only because I don't live near one , but on my recent travels I find myself being a regular and getting some good old bargains . If you ever go to a pound shop be prepared for long queues , I don't know if its just my one but there is always super long ques like primark style queues . 

Anyhoo I was looking in the beauty section , and discovered a rather vast amount of Revelon nail varnishes , sqeeee I was rather excited because I can never bring myself to buy them cos I do  think they are a little pricey .....even though I will spend £8 on a ESSIE nail polish ( nice one Laura ) , oh well they where a pound and plus they had a shade I have been lusting over for aaaaages . Money well spent I think ! 

 They had loads of diffferent shades, heres the ones I picked up . 

Blue lagoon was the one I had been lusting over .

Will you being buying makeup/nail varnish frome the pound shop ?
