Nail of the day. Primark Fake nails

Hey Guys. 

This is just a quick post showing you what is on my nails. 

I bought, these spots and kitties fake nails from primark a while back. They went on like a dream, although a more consistent sizing would be better. 
I used my own Nailene ultra quick glue to stick them on. I do love how these look on and would urge everyone to try the Primark fake nails.

P.S Love Your Nails- Nail Polish Twist Pot Instant Removal Review

Hey Guys, 

So instead of a nail polish review I thought I would do a remover review. This one is from Primark and cost £1. It is similar in style to the Bourjois pot and the Nails Inc, both of which are a lot more expensive than this Primark version. 


The Lowdown.
They cost £1 from Primarks, up and down the UK and maybe the other Primarks. It is a black tub with presoaked sponge inside that you put your nail in and twist it around and it gets off the nail polish. 

The Good.
Cheap
Easy to use
Good Value for money. 
Gets off most nail polish


The Bad.
The sponge bits, has decided to come out of mine, small bit by small bit.
A bit too much nail polish remover in the pot as it spills out a bit. 
Doesn't get glitter polish off

Summary. 
I love this little pot as it removes nail polish easily and quickly. Although it doesn't remove glitter polish, but that is totally fine by me. I will eventually get the other ones to test out as well, but for £1 and if you are curious by the pots of nail varnish remover, then why not pick one of these up. 

Whats your favourite nail polish remover? Which one should I try next? Leave a comment and I will get back to you.

P.S Love Primark Eyeshadow Palette

Hey guys 


Sorry for lack of posts of late. I hoped I would be able to get some written and space them out, but things keep cropping up which is driving me insane, as I miss blogging. 

Whilst I was through in Glasgow, I popped into Primark, on a whim that they would have the eyeshadow palettes in. Which luckily for me they did, but not the one I was hoping to get and blog about. So I am now the proud owner of the Day Palette. Ok not so much proud. But I will get to that in a mo. I was hoping to get the night palette. 

The Lowdown. 

This is a 8 eyeshadow palette, neutral colours, mostly sparkley and satin finish. It costs £2.50 and is packaged in a not so sleek black case. 

The Good Points. 
Good sized mirror in the palette. 
Great Range of colours.
Cheap
Some have nice pigmentation

The Bad Points.
Bulky packaging, not good when trying to compact make up.
Some shadows have very little Pigmentation

Would I repurchase?
Yes I would probably repurchase these shadows from Primark, they do have a nice formua. 

Other Comments. 
These are a great starter into eyeshadows, although there are a lot better ones on the market and on the high street, but these are still good for maybe the tween aged girls, who just want to play around with make up and with there not being that much colour pay off they could be a good one for school make up, as they give off the same confidence boost as more expensive eyeshadows do. The darker colours have more pigmentation and do a great day look with an added slick of eyeliner and a colour pop lipstick.


Hope this helps everyone. What are your thoughts on these eyeshadows? Let me know in the comments.

Eyebrow Products I love

Hey My lovelies, This is just a small quick post, taking about some of my favourite products I have been loving for my eyebrows. I do tend to switch it up between these products depending on what look I am going for. As I'm pale and ginger, my eyebrows without any product, can look hideous, as I don't have much pigment in my brow hairs.

I mainly use either a pencil or a powder to fill in my brows.

Powders 
In the past I have used matte eyeshadows and other powders, but these are the ones I find best for me. On the high end of the price scale is the Illamasqua eye brow cake, I have it in the colour Peek, which is a warm caramel colour, so the website says.It cost £15.50 and is well worth the money, as I got it last summer and I still haven't scraped the surface much.

Another eye brow powder that I love, is the Accessorize shape and brow kit. Within this little hot pink and gold package, is 3 brow powders, a gel and some tweezers and a brush. All of that for £6, such a bargain. In the kit, I use the lightest shade and sometimes the middle shade, at the end of my brows for extra definition. I got mine at Superdrug, but you can find online here.

Pencil

Eyebrow pencils are a nightmare for getting the correct colour, as I prefer a bit more of a red tone in my brows, to match my hair. In this case, I have 3 different pencils, in 3 totally different shades. My first one is the Maybelline Master Brow, that I got at Superdrug for £2.99, I think this may be the first eyebrow product I ever bought. It has a waxy formula and is a dark blonde shade, more ash toned than red. It is a nice pencil, just wish it came in more colour selections. #

The next product is the PS love eyebrow pencil, from Primark. It cost £1 and I have the shade light, it comes in 3 different shades. The light shade is red toned and is fairly waxy in formula, it has been likened to the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow wiz, which I haven't tried yet, but I shall hopefully soon try them.

Lastly I have the Beauty UK eye brow pencil, in the shade Auburn, this is the only shade on the high street that is catered for the redheads. It costs just £1.99, it is a bit dark for me though. But I suppose being pale and redhead is a tough job. buy it from here

What is your favourite things to use in your brows?

Ps Love.. Primark Make Up (First Impressions)

Hey guys, 

Just a little post on some of the new make up products, that Primark has brought out. I have done a review on some of the old make up products had around a year or so ago.

But going by what I have seen on Youtube and instagram, ect, Primark have revamped their make up and held an event, that bloggers ect got some products. I'm obviously like one of the sheep and went to check it out myself. My closest Primark, took an absolute age to get them in though and still don't have the Eyeshadow palettes, which I really want to try. Get it sorted Primark, Edinburgh need the eye shadows. 

So instead, I have went for the following items, I picked up an extra eyebrow pencil in light (£1), felt eye liner (£1.50), Kohl eye liner (£1.50) and the volume boost mascara (£1). So I got a bunch of cosmetics for £5. I could have got some of the lipglosses and lipsticks available, but I picked up a lipstick when I first seen them in and I wasn't too impressed.

I have swatched both eyeliners on my hand and the felt tip liner is still as pigmented as it was when I first applied it on my hand. The kohl liner isn't as pigmented but still there. I haven't tried the mascara yet but I have high hopes for it. 

The packaging is very sleek, with matte black and gold accents. It does look very nice, I hope the products are as  good as the packaging. 

Have you guys tried any of the new Primark cosmetics? Do you like them? Leave me a comment. 

Bye Guys 

The one on the left is the felt tip liner (with a bit feathering) and the Kohl on right.

Saturday Dinner Date FOTN

Hey Guys and Dolls, 

Hope you are all having a fabulous Valentines Weekend. My lovely other half took me out last night for dinner. 

So this is what I done to my face for going out for the dinner. 

This was the final look, I came up with. 

I used my usual face products of Fashionista Vanishing cream primer, Rimmel match perfection foundation and the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. I finished my base with a light dusting of MUA pressed powder. I also used Benefit Hoola Bronzer and the glossybox glossy rosewood blusher. 







 


On my eyes I used Urban Decay primer potion to prime my eyes and the patted on Concretes Smut eye mineral shadow and on the outer corner I used Doe-eyed by Concrete too, Review here. I lined my eyes with Be a Bombshell and Soap and Glory smoulder Kohl, then finished with lashings of Maybelline Smokey eyes mascara. My eyebrows I done with the new PS.Love brow pencil in light, I got this in a recent primark trip.







 
 
I finished the look with one of my favourite lipsticks Urban Decay Catfight. I did mix some of a lighter pink lipstick, to give it more of a romantic colour.

Hope you all like this look.

Primark Beauty Bits Blog Haul.

Hey there guys and dolls,

I'm just in from a recent trip into Edinburgh City centre, I only really went into town to kill a day in the half term. As I have my 5 year old nephew, I thought, we would head into town to kill some time.

I ended up spoiling him, with food and I also got him a game for the playstation. I also went into Primark to browse, as you do. 

I came across the beauty bit in Primark and thought I would pick a few things up and share what I got with you guys.

I firstly picked up some of the new make up wipes, I picked up the P.S range Oil balancing facial cleansing wipes, which were pack of 2 for £1. Also so from the new P.S range I picked up a eyebrow pencil in Light for £1 and a bright pink lipstick, also £1. 

At the till I somehow decided I needed a 300 pack of no snag elastics, which were a £1. I also picked up a 4in 1 foot file ( it has 2 pumice stones, a foot file and a skin grate.) this was also only £1. Then last but no means least I pick up a little lip balm thing for my nephew as he has dry chapped lips. It is a Chupa Chups lip balm in apple flavour, which cost £1.50. 

Hope you like my little haul, I should hopefully have some reviews up soon. 

Bye lovelies :)

Primark make up Hit or Miss

When I was in Primark the other day I noticed that they had some cheap make up, that I thought I would try.
They do have more than I currently have, but I didn't want to try all of it as some of it did look cheap and tacky. I have got some lipsticks and lip stains. I also have the eyeliner as I got recommended it, by a twitter friend.

Swatches of the lipstains in red and pinky/purple

The lip stains were the most expensive at £1.50 each and I got myself two colours as I got one and it was really nice and pigmented and lasted a long time. But the pinky purple one while it is pigmented, it doesn't last very long.But then again I cant really complain much as it was only £1.50 and you get what you pay for, Id give them a 6/10.

Swatches of the lipsticks

The lipsticks are £1 each, as some of you all know you can get amazing lipsticks for £1 by MUA, so I was excited by the fact that Primark had brought some out in my local store. I picked up the 3 shades of pink that they had in store to have a little shot with them as I really do need to get some new lipsticks but just don't have a lot of money to buy them. They do come out really pigmented when you swatch them on your hand but on the lips it takes a good few coats of them to show up properly on your lips. They are a lovely creamy consistency but they do dry your lips really badly, for that id give them a 6/10.

Swatch of the eyeliner

The eyeliner cost £1 for two eyeliner pencils and a sharpener, great for budget purposes but not so amazing for the waterline where I normally put kohl liner. But they do work well for the smudged liner look. They are highly pigmented and creamy for the price they are it shocked me. Id maybe give them about an 5/10.

All in all i think the Primark beauty brand is a good idea for those maybe just starting with make up, or a teenager who is a bit clumsy or messy and loses things easily. Its purse friendly but I wouldn't go out my way to buy the things again.

Cya later guys.
