Primark PS Make Up Haul

Primark's PS Make Up Line is kinda awesome. It is surprisingly good quality, especially when considering how ridiculously cheap it is. Honestly I haven't tried much, but what I have tried I've really liked.  So when I was in there last week and saw all the make up I hadn't tried yet, well a haul was almost inevitable.

PS... Foundation Stick in Ivory - £2.00

This is the first thing I picked up, after hearing Becky from Talk Becky Talk rave about it ages ago on youtube, I figured it was definitely worth trying it out. I really like it. It has a really thick and creamy consistency. As a foundation it's too heavy on the skin, but as a concealer it is awesome. It gives excellent coverage, has a good wear time to it and blends nicely. It's a really good concealer.

PS... Liquid Foundation in Porcelain & Ivory - £2.50 each

I was really feeling bases, can you tell? So far this is the product that I've been least impressed with and I'll tell you why. The shade range is quite limited, although this is to be expected for such a cheap brand.  I'm quite pale so I chose the two lightest shades and neither of them work for me. Porcelain is very light and Ivory is quite dark for a lighter shade. I think if I mixed them together they might work better,  but to be honest I've found them to a bit of a meh product overall. The foundation promises a semi-matte finish and a medium coverage but I didn't get that. It feels quite greasy on the skin when you apply it and the coverage isn't there, it also oxidises really badly and can look quite orange-y, which is not a good look for anyone. I'm really not a fan. But I only lost a fiver so it's fine.

PS... Eyeliner - £1.00

I wasn't sure about this eyeliner,  normally I don't like to use really cheap eyeliner because I've had bad experiences in the past where I've got eye infections or sore eyes. But I decided to risk it for a chocolate biscuit and give it a try, and it isn't bad. It's not the best liquid liner I've ever come across but it's okay. It has a very fine brush nib and the formula is alright. It seems quite watery at first, but the colour can be built up and once it dries down it is locked in place. It was definitely worth the risking it.

PS... Nail Polish Twist Pot - £1.00

I've been a fan of the Twist Pots for a long time, I know it's a much cheaper dupe of Boujois' Magic Nail Polish Remover, I just think they're super handy because it takes all the mess out of taking your nail polish off. The one thing I will say about these is that the sponge inside gets worn out quite quickly and the remover itself has a really strong smell, but I still think that they're amazing, and so handy.

Review of Benefit's They're Real Push-Up Liner

Review of Benefit's They're Real Push-Up Liner

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend. I was so not ready to go back to work today. The adult life is not for me... That sounded weird. Why does the word adult make everything sound a bit creepy and X-Rated?  Anyway I was feeling particularly spendy this weekend and I just had to get Benefit's They're Real Push-Up Liner. The Gods of Shopping had spoken, I had no choice in the matter. 

Much like Benefit's They're Real Mascara the They're Real Push-Up Liner seems to be a marmite product. There are those who love it and those who hate it with no middle ground. Not surprisingly, being a fan of the mascara, I loved the eyeliner. 

It has a silicon tip that hugs the lash line - hence the description 'lashhugging liner pen' - and is super easy to use. It does take some getting used to, distributing the product evenly is the tricky part, but once you're used to it is so easy. The formula is amazing, once it's on IT'S ON that bad boy ain't going no where. Now I'm not too bad when it comes to eyeliner, it has taken years of practice but I can rock a cat eye flick without too much trouble. Even so using this eyeliner made it so easy, it was the easiest catflick I have ever done. You just stamp the tip at the corners of the eye and glide it across the lid. Done. It's so simple. 

Have you tried Benefit's They're Real Push-Up liner yet? What did you think? Love it? Hate it? I want to know. Let me know by commenting below or on twitter. If you do comment I do reply so check back.  Anyway I'll be back on Wednesday with 2 Stars & A Wish #9, where I have a sneaking suspicion this will be making a guest appearance. Until then check out my twitter, facebook, Bloglovin, instagram & pinterest for your daily dose of Lolarocknroses.
