Poundland Deals

Plus car flags and bunting

If you want to show your support for England at the World Cup on the cheap, Poundland is currently offering 5ft England flags for £1 in stores.

It’s also £1 for a two-pack of England car flags and flag bunting, though what’s available will depend on stock in your local store (find your nearest).

Incl Stila, Rimmel, Max Factor, Eylure and OPI

As the wonderful Dolly Parton said: "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap". And she's right, buying make-up isn't easy on the pocket.

So we've done the glamorous job of scouring our local pound shops looking for branded beauty bargains. Some are discontinued (they were the hottest trends once, so we think anyway) and others are still in the shops with a big price tag.

Poundland

• Rimmel Wake Me Up mousse - £5 at Tesco

• Rimmel Glam Eyes trio - £4.99 (incl delivery) elsewhere online

• TOWIE false eyelashes - £13 for a 3-pack elsewhere online, so about £4 each

• Calvin Klein sheer creme eyeshadow - RRP £1.50, but we saw it for £5 elsewhere online

• Rimmel 60 seconds nail polish - was £3.70 at Tesco, now £2.70

This is what we found in our local stores. Speaking to Poundland, it said you can get these items in most stores, while stocks last.

Can cosmetics go off?

The British Skin Foundation says:

"Cosmetic products will remain safe to use provided they are stored under suitable conditions and not subjected to extreme temperatures."

"To ensure the maximum durability of cosmetic products, they should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and with the lids firmly closed."

It also said the use by date on cosmetics, is from when you open the product. So if it says 18 months on the box, it should last for 18 months from when you open it, provided it's been stored correctly.
