Great Buys from Poundland this month.

Health & Beauty. 


Schwarzkopf Total Repair.

After all that hair dye, hair chalk and bleach London products this total shampoo and conditioner repair is great, and just for a pound you can't go wrong. This shampoo and conditioner isn't sold in boots but it is sold online and the average price of them are around £4. So a £3 save isn't too bad.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 on MakeupAlley.

Garnier Hair Recovery. 

Garnier is a well known brand and is brilliant for a pound as this shampoo and conditioner. On Ebay these are selling at £5.99 so a saving of nearly £5. 

Rated 3.5 out of 5 on MakeupAlley.

Mellor & Russell Miracle Nourishing Hair Oil.

This is sold on amazon for £2.49 and the reviews on this are amazing. After reading three differents blogs all really loved this product. And from what I've read this is great for all hair types and can be used to control frizz as well as putting the natural shine back into your hair. I'm not saying this is anything on Moroccan Oil but that £30 a bottle and lets face it, £9,000 a year we can't keep buy it for that price.

Creightons Bronze FAKE DON'T BAKE.

Selling on amazon at £3.99. And have used myself, this is amazing stuff. I'm not really into tanning so much now, but when I used to this was great, as long as you put moisturiser on first then apply the tan with a mitt, it apply evenly and look nice. Also, this isn't too dark, I'm really into having a natural look and not into loads of tan, but if you want it a bit darker then just build it up. And if you've put too much on just jump in the shower and it will even the tan out even more and go lighter.

Arm & Hammer Extra White ToothPaste. 

Retailing at £3.99 and again having really good reviews. It's nice to have a different toothpaste, different to the same old Colgate or something. So yeah again not a bad saving. 

Rated 4.3 out of 5 on Makeup Alley.

In the Home.  



From five different colours to choose from and with summer coming up, so your bound to have your home friends coming down to see you and vice versa it's nice to have fresh towels when they come round, and I defiantly don't think they complain with two for one pound!! Guest towels, Hand towels and face towels all come in packs of two.

Your student house probably stinks of something rotting, I mean, look, I know how trampy we can be so this wooden box containing incense sticks and create a nice, musty camden smell in your student house, and can even be quite romantic if you have a special man coming to stay over.

I know not all students are going to have a garden or really give two shits about there garden but if you do have a garden and maybe thinking of having a garden its a thought to have a couple of these around the garden... just to make out your a little more grown up then what you really are.

This hanging tea light holder is just something nice and decorative to try and prevent your student house from looking like a drug den (which it probably does) so yeah and again like I keep repeating, its a pound!!!

If your a hipster like me you'll love going on picnic's, it's free, cheap and you can get pissed, high and have a good FREE time so this picnic blanket for a pound is great for all those vodka spilliages and droppings of fag ashes.

Like I said before if you probably don't give a shit about your garden but even three of these little candle holders will make any garden cute.

If it's one of your housemates birthday, even if you hate them, this is good for putting loads of shittly decorated cakes on.

I was given this wonderful gift as an Easter present. If you enjoy anything crafty and creative then you have to try out these gorgeous little creations. These DecoPatch figures, can be placed anywhere in your house and still look good. I think the quirky patterns has a lot to do with that, and after you've done one, you'll want a collection of them. They are so easy to and look fantastic after you've finished them. 

So.. Here are the Steps. 

Step One:
Take the label of your animal and get the paper out of the packet. 

Step Two: 
Get a small cup and pure about half a tumbs worth of PVA glue into the cup.

Step Three:
Add around four tea spoons of water to the cup with the PVA Glue, making it 
a nice light watery glue. 

Step Four: 
Rip up your Paper in whatever size you like.

Step Five: 
With a paint brush, paint the area where you are about to put to paper. 

Step Six: 
Continue to stick and place paper on to the Animal until completely covered. 

And thats all! Vey quick and easy to do, and the results should end up looking like this...
