I was browsing TK Maxx the other day looking for a birthday gift for a friend. I didn't find anything but just as I was leaving a saw a shelf full of reduced price beauty goodies, being a bargain hunter I couldn't resist having a quick look! The section of Nails inc polishes was what caught my eye first, at 3.99 each I decided it was too much of a good deal not to pick one up as they normally retail for about £10. I decided to go for 'Haymarket' in the end, its a lovely duck egg blue colour with hints of mint green- perfect for summer! I know I'll be getting loads of wear out of this polish. If you have a TK Maxx near you I would have a look as these reduced items could be in all stores.</div>

I got this Primark eyeshadow palette about a week ago and I've been using it loads. There are a couple of palettes in this range, one with night appropriate shades and one with shades more suitable for day time wear. I opted for the day time shades as I thought I would get most wear of out these colours. All 8 shades are really pigmented which I wasn't expecting consider the £2.50 price tag. </div>
<br />
The mix of both soft pink shades and darker smoky shades in this palette makes it so easy to create a range of looks which is what I love as it gives more versatility. The consistency of these shadows isn't too chalky either, this tends to be a peeve of mine when it comes to eyeshadow. I've found even with more expensive brands like Urban Decay fallout and chalkiness is still a problem despite the hefty prices.<br />
<br />
If your just starting out with makeup or need a palette to take on holiday I recommend this! Although its not the most amazing palette ever for the price you can hardly grumble.<br />

Primark have added loads of products to their beauty range recently. I repurchased a couple of my favourites, the fashion nails and sultry lashes, they are such a steal at only £1 each!! I always seems to pick up a pair of lashes everytime I go to Primark because even if you just use them once its hardly breaking the bank. Also, these lashes are perfect for using on other people, especially for a makeup kit or special occasion. <br />
<br />
The lashes set and lipstick are both new additions to the beauty range and I am so excited to try them. The set of four different lashes was only £3! That's amazing value considering they are all different, works out at around 75p a pair so a little cheaper than the normal individual strip lashes. I'm pretty tempted to go and pick a few more sets of these up if I like them.<br />
<br />
The lipstick is a lovely beige pink colour and was £1.50, I think this is a reasonable price for a lipstick. To be honest I picked this up on a whim to see what the new lipsticks are like so I'm not expecting amazing results but who knows it might surprise me!<br />
<br />
I really recommend the Primark beauty range, especially for the strip lashes as with a good glue they can give a lovely finish and there are a few styles to pick from. I will update on how I get on with these products in another post soon.<br />
<br />
<br />
Have you tried the Primark beauty range?<br />

(L-R) Girl about town// Impassioned// Snob//Viva glam II</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I seem to have accumulated quite a lot of MAC lipsticks over the last few months. I definitely reached for certain lipsticks in the winter months, Rebel by MAC being a favourite as it suited the darker autumnal colours. However, for spring and summer I normally choose brights and nudes for an easy pop of colour or something nice and neutral to compliment an outfit. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>Girl About Town- </em>This is a lovely bright pink with blue undertones which really brightens and whitens my smile. I normally reach for this on nights out, or if I feel a bit 'Bleh' and need a pick-me-up. Since it is so bright I normally reserve it for summer or nights out, but if I'm feeling daring I might wear this during winter. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>Impassioned- </em>I love the warm corals tones of this Impassioned. It is amplified crème like Girl about town so looks really bright and vivid on the lips. This is a lipstick I picked up last summer before my holiday in duty free and I think it was a really good buy as I got loads of wear out of it on holiday, and it lasted amazingly in the sweaty temperatures of Turkey, Bonus!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>Snob- </em>I find this lipstick only really suits me in the summer as I tend to be (slightly) less pale. Because it has lilac and blue undertones It can make certain skin tones look a bit sickly and ill. If applied correctly though this can look lovely! I like to wear only a sheer application and put a lipgloss or lip balm over the top. A good drug store dupe for this lipstick is 'Pink pout' by Revlon and is much more affordable for people on a budget.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>Viva Glam II-</em> I only recently purchased Viva Glam but it has already become a firm favourite. It suits me when I have a tan and when I'm pale so its in a winner in my eyes. I have been looking for a nice nude for quite some time, I have more pinky ones and some brown toned nude lipsticks but this one seems to combine the best of both. </div>
