PS. LOVE - WHY PRIMARK IS THE BEST FOR MAKE-UP!

I have a confession to make... As much as I love make-up, I just cannot cope with spending all my money on beauty products. I much prefer splashing whatever cash I may have on clothing, and although people will tell you that you need to spend the money to get quality beauty products, I just don't think that's quite true.

In the last couple of years, Primark have really developed and, in my opinion, improved their range of make-up and beauty items. In the last year they have come out with the PS. Love range, and, since then, the range has just got better and better.

Today I popped into the Tottenham Court Road store, which is one of my favourites (after Leeds ;D) and I was originally shopping in aid of finding an outfit for Valentine's Day. However, I soon found myself at the back of the second floor, perusing the aisles of the make-up section. I had recently read a blog post about their highlighter crayon, so I already knew I was after something in this section. However, I came out with a couple of other things....

EYE BRIGHTENER CRAYON

This little gem would be perfect for under the brow, which is exactly how I intend to use it! I also think it will look lovely in the corner of the eye as a highlight.
The texture is super creamy and soft, and will blend really easily if you want to use it on the eye. I did try to swatch it, but it didn't show up so well on my hand, so I guess you'll just have to take my word for it ;) and for £1 you really cannot go wrong.







SMUDGER EYE LINER

I am forever buying black eye liner pencils because I use them every.single.day in my tight-line. For £1, I thought I would give this a go and, if it's no good, it was rather inexpensive. However, it is so perfect! It lines beautifully, and is super black, which is what I really want in an eyeliner. It's soft too, so won't scratch up your eyes, which is always nice. The smudger is also a nice touch, as it means you can blend the line out to achieve and simple and easy smoky eye. The lid is also a sharpener. I mean...what more could you ever want?!






And finally.....this is possibly the most exciting purchase I have ever made in Primark...


ROSE GOLD PALETTE

Now, before I tell you the price of this absolute beauty, lets just take a look at it shall we...







The rose gold packaging; the amount of colours; the fact it looks like an iPad. I just... I can't even. I can't. I am unable to even. It is beautiful. 

Eye shadow palettes have always been my weakness, and what I have splurged on most in the past (I do own a Naked palette :O), so when this caught my eye I couldn't just leave it sitting there in the shop.

The colours are stunning, and the pay-off is flawless. I have only swatched this on my hand and am yet to use it on my eyes, so I am unsure of how much it will drop, but I have my hopes.






Unlike most big palettes, this one has colours that are actually wearable! There is a mixture of matte and shimmer colours, and a wide range on the spectrum. The two greens are the ones that caught my eye initially (no pun intended), as I have green eyes and thought these could look amazing worked into a look. I am beyond excited to try this out.

Oh, and did I mention it was £3!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!

I kid you not. Three blinkin' pounds! Okay, so it was in the "sale" and was originally £10, but I still think I would pay that for this beautiful item. So at 3 little pound coins I could not, would not and should not leave it in Primark. So now it has a new home...........
on my dressing table :D

Have you tried the Primark PS. Love range? What's your favourite budget make-up? Let me know :)
