Review: Primark Beauty *£1 Lipsticks*

The other week I did a little shopping at Primark and came across the beauty section I hadn't realised that Primark did beauty products until a few hauls popped up in my sub box. So I thought what the hell when I'm there I will pick up a few pieces and see what the quality is like.

I have to say for the price I am pretty impressed with some of the products and well some not so much but for the price its not a huge waste.

So lets start out with their lipsticks. I picked up the only 3 colours that I could find in my store which was a super super light pink which later I realised has actually had its coloured bleached my what I assume the store lights, a bright magenta colour and then a more deep pink colour. I have really been trying to expand my lip colours for fall and branch out into something I wouldn't normally wear. well with these only being £1 a piece I thought it was a perfect opportunity to try some new things out.

I dont think you can see it that well but the very top of the lipstick is a few shades lighter than the original lipstick colour.

Here are some swatches they unfortunately don't have any colour names just a jumble of numbers.

and on the lips...

Super Light Pink *Not a good look*

The Magenta

The Deep Pink

Before I start talking about the colours I will say I am pretty impressed with the quality of these for the price! They are super creamy and I find the darkest of the 3 did have some pretty amazing staying power I didn't test the first two so I am not 100% on those. If you are looking to try different lipstick colours but don't want to spend a to much money I would really recommend just trying these out and if they aren't your cup of tea its only £1 wasted instead on £6 - £10 from the drugstore.

Now onto the colours as you can see the light pink not so pretty on the lips it kinda makes me look dead and even with my super light skin tone its just not a good look. I don't know if it will look any better if I can get past the bleach out part of the lipstick if the original colour will look any better. The Magenta colour I think is probably my fave out of them all its a lovely bright pink that's pretty pigmented and still holds a glossy finish. I think it will probably be my most used out of the 3. The last one although is pretty similar to the magenta it is actually pretty sheer although really does hold its colour once applied.

So for the lipstick I give them a thumbs up very impressed :)

Keep an eye out for my next review on Primark Beauty with some eye products!!

Review: Revlon Lash Potion by Grow Luscious

YES!! It is finally in the UK and I couldn't be happier I was walking through Superdrug and had to grab it straight away! after hearing so much about it when it launched in the US.

This bad boy has been pretty long awaited for me I have been wanting to try it for the longest time but I really had no idea it would end up in the UK. I have personally never tried a Revlon mascara and most will know I am a die hard Maybelline lover but I thought why not see if its worth the hype and I have been so impressed so far!

I will say even if I hadn't heard about this before I'm pretty sure that the packaging would have sucked me in I am huge on the way products look as well as how well they perform and to me this is just bloody cute for mascara packaging!! So shiny and girlie!

When I am looking for a mascara I want something that gives me a butt load of volume and really make my lashes look long without having to apply false lashes (because I suck at that pretty bad haha). This product really does that I can just us this mascara and with a few applications I am happy with the look, normally I would apply 2 - 3 different mascaras to achieve the look that this one on its own gives it is AMAZING!! With apply so many mascaras normally my lashes can get a little weighed down with this it is super light does not clump and the brush is good and plushie.

A few close ups of my lashes with the Lash Potion on :)

Don't mind my crazy eyes lol

  The retail price is £9.99 from Superdrug but they are also running a 2 for £10 deal on all Revlon products right now, its a fantastic deal I actually picked up 2 of these for the £10 deal so I saved myself an amazing £9.98!!!!
