Hey guys, I hope you've all been having a great week! A couple of weeks ago I popped into my local Primark and picked up a few bits from their beauty range. I was really excited to try some of their makeup as I'd heard it was very good, so I bought £10 worth of makeup for a blog post.
The first thing I picked up was their Contour & Glow palette. It has a neutral brown contour shade and a warm golden champagne highlighter in the palette, and I have to say I love it! If you follow my Instagram (katstokesbeauty) you will know that I have been using it non stop. The contour shade is just perfect and blends out like a dream, and the highlighter is a really soft, dewy looking shade which gives me the perfect glow. For £3.50 I think it's incredible and I would 100% recommend it!

The next thing I bought was a blush. It doesn't have a shade but it's a beautiful muted maroon berry type shade, and I love it. I don't wear blush that often but I've been using it a lot in the last week and I think it's super pretty. It's matte and I think it would be a great eyeshadow as well! Primark eyeshadows are apparently not so great (I've never tried them but I did swatch one in store and there was little to no pigmentation) but I think their blushes would work great. This was £1.50 which I think is such a steal!

I also picked up a metallic liquid lipstick in the shade "Queen". It's a stunning golden bronze shade but unfortunately I really don't like it. It smells really strongly of blackcurrant which I don't mind, but it's so overpowering that it made me cough. It didn't apply onto my lips very nicely, it was kind of sheer and patchy which was really disappointing.

The last thing I bought was from their brand new Pro line. I can't find it anywhere on their website for some reason but I bought a liquid lipstick in the shade "Pink In Excess". I however wouldn't say this is pink, more of a grey toned pale purple but it's stunning. Swatched, it looks very comparable to Jeffree Star's "Scorpio" liquid lipstick but on the lips it's more of a pale, grungey nude. It doesn't dry down completely matte but it's not drying in the slightest and it looks so beautiful on my skin tone that I'm gonna overlook that fact. I'm dying to try out the rest of the liquid lipsticks, and the rest of the Pro line!
Price: £3.00
To conclude, I'd say that Primark makeup definitely surprised me with it's quality. The Contour & Glow palette is one of my new favourite products and I highly highly recommend that everyone checks it out. I will definitely be picking up some more makeup from Primark in the future as almost everything I've tried has been incredible and the price point is fantastic.
See you in my next blog post!
