Beauty and Bentley

On Saturday I was in Glasgow so of course, I had to stop into Primark and pick up a few new items so I thought I would share them with you and give a little bit of a review. This haul is mainly beauty based, the Glasgow store naturally has a much bigger selection of beauty products than my local store.

The first thing I picked up was this adorable peach eyeshadow palette that cost just £4!!! It contains 9 peach-toned matte and shimmer shades at £4 I just had to pick it up. The packaging is very lightweight and super cute but it does feel a little cheap and it gets grubby looking very quickly. The eyeshadows are actually peach scented (obviously this palette is inspired by the hugely popular Too Faced peach collection) I think this is a really nice touch but I'm not actually keen on the scent. Keep an eye out for a full review on this palette. 

Next, I spotted a make-up brush cleaning mat, this cost only £1.50 which is another amazing price! These are shaped like lips and come in a pretty turquoise colour, it has differently shaped ridges across the mat for cleaning different kinds of brushes and is a really good size.

So the next thing I spotted was the false lashes, Primark actually stock a few different brands now but today I picked up the cheapest ones that cost £1. Usually, I don't pay much attention to the Primark lashes as I thought they would be very cheap and poor quality but I recently saw a Youtuber recommend them so I figured I would give them a try. I picked up 2 different styles and on Saturday night I wore one set on a night out.....they are amazing! I'm so surprised at how good these looked and even the glue that I thought would be useless was really good. I will definitely be picking up more of these when I'm next in Primark.

Something that I noticed which is quite exciting is Primark now stock single eyeshadow pans that can be placed in palettes, they also have 4 and 9 pan empty palettes for sale. I decided to pick up the shade Bone to try out before picking up any other shades, this cost 60p which is crazy! The shade is just a simple light shade that I will use for setting the lid before applying the rest of my other eyeshadows. I tried this out today and it's very soft with quite a bit of fallout but it worked well and had good pigmentation.

Next, I picked up some new earrings for £1.50, these are really pretty and something a little different and more interesting than a standard hoop earring. I wore these out and they are quite light and feel comfortable I think these are really pretty, Primark always have some amazing jewellery bits for really great prices, they obviously won't last a lifetime but the quality is decent and they look great. 

I picked up some blotting sheets as I get quite oily in the t-zone throughout the day, they cost £1 and do what they say on the tin I don't think I can say much about blotting sheets that's very exciting.

Before heading to the till I spotted a stand with nail polishes and I've been on the lookout for an olive green shade for autumn so I picked one up for 90p. The shade is called Evergreen and is a very dark green shade, it's actually darker than I was looking for but for 90p I figured I would try it out. I also applied this on Saturday before a night out and it looks pretty good, it does need 2 coats to get the colour looking even and pigmented, the brush is a bit big so you need to be careful with the application but it does look good and I will probably pick up some other shades.

So that is all that I picked up, I'm really happy with these purchases and so far everything has really impressed me! Primark are producing some really amazing stuff right now and I can't wait to go back and pick up some more gems!
