I'm just going to put it out there. Primark just may be my favorite store ever. As an American, I had not had the privilege of experiencing Primark in all it's glory until they finally opened one up at the King of Prussia mall in Philadelphia. My friends and I are super obsessed with Primark. They have so many products like women clothing, men clothing, clothes for baby, shoes, lingerie, pajamas, beauty, accessories, and home. The store is gigantic but everything is well placed, organized, and there's (I think) three areas where you can check out.
So for this mini haul I wanted to talk about the beauty items that I got at Primark and in a separate blog post, I'll talk about the clothing, accessories, shoes, and whatever else I got so that this post isn't so long. You can really lose yourself at Primark and not pay such a hefty price for it.

Before I start, let me tell you the beauty section of Primark is vast. I mean it has everything that you could possibly think of. From makeup to nail polish to cosmetics bags, and even bath items like bath bombs and soaps. It is absolutely insane in the best way.
I, of course, gravitated more to the makeup part of the beauty area, which is why you'll see more makeup items but I did dabble in some areas.
The first item is the PS Liquid Eyeliner.
This is your classic black liquid liner. It has a brush tip but a dull cut. I found that it was hard to make an eyeliner wing with the way that this brush was cut. But, it's great for just regular straight eyeliner.
The formula is a very pigmented black color and it goes on smoothly on the eyelids. What I did find at the end of the day was that it began to crack by the end of the day and it flaked around my eyes. Other than that it didn't smudge or get affected when my eyes watered. I would have loved this $1 liner if only it didn't crack and flake throughout the day.
The next item is the PS Volume Boost Mascara. This mascara claimed to give lots of volume for your eyelashes. And it was only $0.90!
Here is what the mascara wand looks like. The brush is pretty thick with lots of short bristles. As you can see in the picture, the product really grabs onto to the brush.
When I first applied this mascara, it felt really light. It began to lengthen my lashes with one coat. With a second coat it started to volumize it. The final result from the two coats was that it lengthened and volumized but the mascara wasn't life changing. By the end of the day I did see some smudging and it did transfer when I wore glasses.
Overall this is an okay mascara for the price. It doesn't change my mascara game but it's give enough to give off a nice and natural look to the eyes.
For my next beauty product, I have two types of eyebrow products. The first one is the PS Brow Pencil in the shade Brown. This pencil also comes with a spooly at the other end.
This is what the pencil looks like. For the price of $1, I was super impressed by this eyebrow pencil. It is SOOOOOOOOO crazy pigmented and glides on smoothly on the eyebrows. What I will say is to be very very very light handed with this because it is crazy pigmented. You'll easily get too thick eyebrows if you're not gentle enough.
It sets really nice into the brows and doesn't smudge at all. I was a little skeptical because of its creaminess and pigmentation but it lasted on me all day It's really great to use to shape the brows and lightly fill them as well.
The other eyebrow product that I bought is the PS Brow Crayon Duo in the shade Brown. Like the eyebrow pencil above, it comes with a spooly as well.
This eyebrow pencil is angled and has a more waxy feel then the eyebrow pencil. Therefore while it may be less pigmented, it's actually a lot easier to work and mess up with. You can build up your brows with this brow duo and not feel like you may go too heavy handed.
For this being only $1.50, I'd say it has worked even better than some of the higher brand eyebrow products. It stayed on my eyebrows all the day and did not smudge at all. It was really easy to work with and I love the packaging. I'm glad that both come with a spooly at the end because sometimes I can't find the extra brush that I have to use separately to brush out my brows.
If you were thinking of getting a brow product from Primark, I say go with the brow crayon duo. It may be just $0.50 more but it is much easier to work with and it's better for any makeup beginners out there.
Moving away from the eyes, I have a lip product that I want to share. This is the PS Lip Liner Pencil in the shades Nude and Berry.
The first shade is nude which is on the left side of this picture. Nude on me looks like a pinky brown or a my lips but better type of color. I absolutely love this shade of the lip liner. Ever since I bought, it has been my go to everyday lip color. The Berry shade is also a gorgeous deep berry color. I love to wear Berry when I want something more vampy yet not too dark.
The formula of these lip pencils are absolutely amazing. They are so creamy and smooth. It glides on the lips like a dream. And, it's only $1.50. I actually stocked up on the nude shade because I love it so much. While it isn't long lasting, I don't mind touching up because it is super layerable without looking cakey. I absolutely love these lip pencils and if they come out in more shades, it may just replace my MAC lip liners. Honestly, it's just as good!
And the final beauty product that I got from Primark was a fun little item and it was this $1 Puff!
I've always wanted a Puff and for just a $1, I figured why not go for this novelty beauty item. This is a really cute pink puff and seems to be layered with thick feathers. I guess you could say it feels like a soft blanket.
When you use it, I grip onto the ribbon and the part that I pat with into the powder, flattens down so that I can pat it onto my face. While it may not be the most convenient way to put on powder, I just find it fun and an amusing way to do makeup. I absolutely love it and I always use it. Sometimes I bring it with me to travel or I'm on the go and I just pull it out to touch up and powder my face. It's fun and cute, it can't go wrong!
