Primark nail varnish and lipgloss reviews

As you may have seen from an earlier post i bought a Primark lip gloss and nail varnishes the other day. Ive used them and wanted to let you know how i got on with them.

The packaging doesn't reveal any names but the gloss is a peachy/orange colour and the nail varnishes are mint and sparkly jade.
The gloss is not very pigmented and i felt like i had to use alot in order for it to show up. Its not incredibly thin but as someone who likes a thick gloss eg Juicy tubes, this didn't work for me. The gloss seemed to wear off rapidly without eating and drinking and left my lips feeling dry. Not too surprised really as it was only £1.00.

I was pleasantly surprised with the nail varnish. It had a good consistency and the brush was a reasonable size. I had to apply 3 coats which then gave good coverage and it has lasted 2 days without chipping so far. The colour reminds me of Barry M's mint green. I received loads of compliments about it today, which is always nice.

Apologies for the slightly blurry photos. I need to get my other camera fixed as i damaged it whilst travelling :(

Primark spree

Happy Saturday people, hope the weather has been good where you are. Its been horrible here, so to cheer myself up a trip to Primark was on the agenda.
Ive wanted a trench coat for ages so i was made up when i saw this at such a great price, it will take me from Summer thorough Autumn effortlessly.

Some cute pillows. My room is black and white so i want to jazz it up a bit and at £2.00 a pillow i just couldn't say no.

Tan flats, i love the gold knotted feature.

Some jewelery. I love Primark for its jewelery. Its so cheap that once Ive gone off it i don't feel bad about wasting money.

And last but not least, a lip gloss and two nail varnishes.

Ive seen their range a few times and was pretty dubious to be honest, but at £1.00 each, i thought why not! I only actually wanted the plain green varnish, glitter isn't really me. I havent tried them yet, ill let you know if their any good tommorow.
I'm off to the cinema tonight to see Last house on the left, Im preparing myself to be scared haha. Have a brilliant night everyone, Lou x
