  • Primark’s Under Eye Patches For Under £2.00!

    There’s one thing I’ve missed in my local Primark store…under eye patches! For some reason they haven’t been stocked when I’ve visited. My last visit I went in for a lip liner for my teenage daughter and there they were waiting for me! Under eye patches I enjoy using if they’re a decent quality. With someone who suffers with hay fever, plus my under eyes really do show the world how my life is going, I find these a great quick fix. So what under eye patches did I find, what do they do and how much do they cost?

    Primark’s Under Eye Patches!
    Brightening & Depuffing Eye Patches

    Containing 15 treatments (assuming this means 15 pairs of under eye patches), these eye patches contain Vitamin C, peptides and liquorice root extract. These are designed to help the under eye area appear less dull, brighter and help with puffiness making this area appear less tired. £1.50.

    Brightening & Depuffing Eye Patches
    Hydrate + Revitalise Eye Patches

    Containing 15 treatments (again), these eye patches are designed to hydrate, soothe and help with puffiness and dark circles. Ingredients include caffeine, lavender extract, Vitamin E and collagen. £1.50.

    Hydrate + Revitalise Eye Patches
    Hydrate Hyaluronic Acid Gel Eye Patches

    Containing 3 pairs of under eye patches which should be more gel like in look and feel than traditional tissue like masks are made from. These eye masks are all about keeping the under eyes nourished, hydrated, relaxed and soothed. £1.80.

    Thoughts?

    Under eye masks aren’t designed to change the eye area massively and permanently. They give this area of the face a simple pick me up, which is temporary. Great for general pampering, some extra relief if the under eye area is dry, stressed or tired. These under eye patches are all affordable, contain more than one pair of under eye masks which means these can be used daily, and not kept just for a treat (if needed). Great to pop into the fridge for an added cooling effect, and dragged out before use. So if all these do is stay secure on the face, hydrate, comfort and relax the eyes, then job is done!

    PS. I bought 2 packs!

  • Women’s Fragrances Available In Primark

    My local Primark, which is in the city centre of my town, can get busy and messy quickly! I love having a look around their beauty department, but sometimes it’s hard fighting your way through bodies and shelves that look like they’ve been ransacked. I’ve always found visiting early morning is the best and tidiest time. So I had a chance early morning last week to have a look at some of their women’s fragrances, because I haven’t looked at them for ages. So what did I find?

    Women’s Fragrances In Primark
    Neroli Breeze

    This consists of mandarin, neroli and musk. From this combination I would expect something with a freshness but depth, and could be liked by both men and women. Nicely shaped blue bottle, very square and angular in look, and housed in an identical sea blue coloured box.

    Neroli Breeze Eau de Parfum
    Orchid Whispers

    Bergamot, violet and patchouli are the notes in Orchid Whisper. I can imagine this is a floral scent but quite a heavy, deep one, possibly ideal for night time use. The bottle this comes in looked a little cheap to me with its large gold door knob like top with a square purple bottle. Comes in a simple purple coloured box.

    Orchid Whispers Eau de Parfum
    Forever

    Now this looks fun! Shaped as a heart, this fragrance is made up of notes of jasmine, tuberose and tonka bean. Could this be a feminine, heady, seductive fragrance? Possibly with these notes in it!

    Forever Eau de Parfum
    Golden Girl

    Containing notes of jasmine, rose, vanilla and musk, this comes across as a very feminine girly girl type fragrance. Very pretty, perfect for spring and summer and for everyday use. Packaging is simple, with a cut out on the front to see the bottle inside. I really like how this is presented. It suits the description of the fragrance perfectly.

    Golden Girl Eau de Parfum
    Capri Girl

    Packaged in the same way as Golden Girl, but using different colour combinations (mainly soft blue). This fragrance contains notes of lemon, jasmine, amber and vanilla. Again, another feminine, pretty sounding fragrance, but this feels like it will be fresher and quite light and subtle.

    Capri Girl Eau de Parfum
    Formulation, size & price

    Each fragrance mentioned is of an eau de parfum formulation, which means it has a certain percentage of fragrance oils in it e.g stronger than an eau de toilette. Each is 30ml in size (except Forever which is 50ml) and all cost £6.00 each.

    Thoughts?

    These represent a good mix of fragrances but perfect for the up and coming seasons. There were more available but I didn’t get the chance to look at them all, as a comic book shop and two teens were calling for my attention! But most were nicely packaged, ok sizes (anything under 50ml for me turns into travel size) and decent prices. I did manage to smell one and it smelt really really good. But my thought is, how good are they when it comes to longevity and strength? Maybe I need to find out…

  • Wicked Beauty Products In Primark

    Wicked: For Good, has got to be the most anticipated film of 2025. As a fan of the first instalment, I’ve been counting down the months to the conclusion of a story I only knew bits of originally. So if I’ve been excited over this film, lots of people have been too. And what does that mean? Merchandise! Lots of it! If you’re a fan or not you won’t escape the merchandise, marketing and collaborations with other brands. So if you want to pick up anything Wicked, it’s easily done, and can be done affordably. I found a selection of Wicked products in the beauty section of Primark. What did I find and how much did they cost?

    Wicked Beauty Products In Primark
    Colour Changing Lip Balm – £3.00

    Keeping with the colour theme of the film, this lip balm comes with two lip balm ends: one green one pink. How exactly this colour changes isn’t mentioned on the packaging, but it does, and is also scented.

    Colour Changing Lipbalm
    Shimmering Body Wash – £4.50

    250ml of two separately coloured body washes (pink and green of course!) that look like they dispense as one. Both have a shimmer look to them, with the scent being ‘Cosmic Star‘.

    Shimmering Body Wash
    Bath Fizzer Set – £5.00

    This set contains 4 individually wrapped bath fizzers. One is shaped as a witches hat, one a perfume bottle, another a wand and the last one is a gold, mask like face. All connected to character’s in the film and decent in size. Nicely packaged and perfect for gift giving.

    Bath Fizzer Set
    Illuminating Face Serum – £4.00

    The Illuminating Face Serum is soft pink in colour with a shimmer to it. I assume, this is to give the face a glow, fresh like look to it. 30ml in size and contains ceramides. So as much as this looks pretty, I would treat it as a skincare product not anything else.

    Illuminating Face Serum
    Hydrating Sheet Masks – £3.00

    2 sheet masks designed to hydrate the skin, with each representing the two main characters. With these being printed sheet masks, I assume whatever designs are on them reflects the characters.

    Sheet Masks
    Eyelash Curler – £3.00

    This is exactly what you would think an eyelash curler will look and behave like. The only difference is it’s green and has a witches hat on the bottom of one of the arms.

    Eyelash Curler

    These were just a few Wicked related products I found in the beauty section of Primark. There were lashes, rollers, many different things that would keep any beauty loving Wicked fan happy! But what do I think about these releases? Products are nicely packaged, perfectly themed and all affordable.
