And now, Poundland have sent their fans into a frenzy with one of their latest additions to the discounted aisles - It's Showtime Primer and Setting Spray.

The beauty essential, which scans for a mere £3, is a 2-in-1 product, ensuring your skin is all prepped for make-up, as well as keeping it all in place.

According to the description online, the purse-friendly find will leave you with a lovely matte finish.

Needless to say, the affordable bargain has become all the rage in the beauty community, with one shopper, Jodie Johnson, taking to Facebook to rave about it.

Urging fellow beauty buffs to not sleep on the £3 deal, Jodie shared her thoughts on the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group page.

''Anyone who likes their make-up, this is a MUST buy!

''£3 from Poundland, a primer and setting spray!

'' Have to say it is very good, holds make up just as good as the expensive brands!''

What's more, not only has the primer-setting spray been said to be as effective as high-end versions, you will also get a whopping 100ml in the light pink packaging - a total bargain for the amount.

According to Jodie, the primer is ''nice and sticky'', making sure your foundation and make-up doesn't melt away throughout the day.

Since being shared on the platform, where 2.4million members post their favourite-ever deals, Jodie's post has racked up over 130 likes.

Dozens of fellow social media users flocked to comments, where they shared their thoughts and tagged their friends to inform them about the offer.

One person who'd tried the £3 make-up essential wrote: ''It’s a really good setting spray, not such a good primer though.''

How To Save Money On Beauty Buys

IF your purse is feeling tighter than ever before and you're looking to save cash on your make-up routine, have you ever thought of trying out beauty dupes?

Here's five of the best recommended beauty buys that are almost identical to the posh versions, but for a fraction of the price.

FACE BASE: If you can't afford Charlotte Tilbury's £52 Magic Cream, why not try a dupe that costs just £5.49 from Superdrug?

TONE IT UP: If Drunk  Elephant's £62 Protini moisturiser is out of your price range, you'll need to check out the new dupe in Home Bargains.

TINTING IT: With Fenty's 'game-changer' skin tint costing an eye-watering £29, a popular supermarket's affordable alternative might just be the thing for you.

GET COVERED: At £29 for a Tarte concealer, the new Primark dupe is much more affordable at just £3.50.

SPRAY YAY: For those wanting to smell fresh, without the price tag, Aldi's new Prada and Chloe perfume dupes cost a fraction of the price.

''Second this, been using for a while,'' another was raving about the deal.

''Completely agree with this, it's so good for the money!'' a Poundland super fan chimed in.

A fourth, meanwhile, revealed how they just kept going back to the £3 2-in-1 product.

''I’ve been using this for a few months and wouldn’t use anything else.

''Tried all the expensive brands and reverted from the Body Shop, nothing holds like this one has for me.''
