Glo Baby Glo nail polish: Yes Cyan

Product
I love this nail polish and it's goes excellently with Barry M black crackle nail polish. This is a creme type polish and it is also very smooth. I always apply two coats of this polish which is what I have applied in the pictures below.  The brush is also great as it covers the nails in three strokes.
Longevity
This polish will last four to five days without chipping. I do usually apply a base coat to prevent discolouration and I don't use a top coat with this polish. 

Packaging
This nail polish comes in a very simple plastic box. The bottle is clear and has a black plastic top. There is 8ml of this product in this bottle. 

Price
I bought this in Penny's/Primark and it cost me €2.50. This is great considering how good the polish is. 

Would I buy this again? Yes.

Penny's eyebrow kit

When I first saw this I wasn't sure if it would be any good but I then heard a lot of people talking about it and everyone seemed to like it. The next time I had an opportunity to buy it I did and I'm so glad that I did.
Product
There are a lot of different things in this little set for the price. It comes with three stencils, an eyebrow pencil, 2 shadows, wax, mini tweezers and an angled brush. There is also instructions on the lid to help you use it.
I will start with what I like about this set. The tweezers are really great. These are the tweezers that I always reach for now when I am doing my eyebrows. They are mini tweezers so they might not suit everyone but I love them. I also like the two shadows that are in the set.
What I didn't like about this set was the eyebrow pencil was too dark for my eyebrows. It made them appear almost dirty. I also don't like the angled brush provided as it is very hard and doesn't brush the product smoothly onto my eyebrows.
I don't really have a lot to say about the stencils as I don't use them that often. I have read other good reviews about them though that they give a great shape and are easy to use.

Packaging
The packaging is made from a think cardboard. The lid doesn't have a magnet to keep it closed so might be a problem if you travel with this set. I don't usually travel with this as it is a larger eyebrow kit.
Price
This eyebrow kit cost €4 and it is available from Penny's/Primark.

Would I buy this again? Yes.

Penny's Blush and Bronzer Duo

Penny's/Primark was never a place that I would have associated with make-up products. So when I purchased this blush and bronzer duo I didn't have very high expectations.  When I saw the blush and bronzer in the box I knew that it reminded me of something and it turned out it did...Benefit's bronzing and highlighting face powder duo.  

Product
This is a light shimmery blush and bronzer duo.  The blush in this duo gives a really nice soft pink glow. The bronzer in this is obviously darker than the blush but it is still light. 
Even though they are lightly coloured they still have good pigmentation and also a very soft texture.  I did at first expect that it would have a chalky feel but it really doesn't.  
It is also very easy to apply. I use a blusher brush and sweep it over my cheeks.  I have applied this in a variety of ways. I have used the blush and bronzer separately and I have also swirled the brush into both the blush and bronzer to create a darker pink toned colour. This can be seen in the last picture.
The brush that comes with the product is not good at all. It's too small to work with and it is also makes it very difficult to blend using the brush provided.  

Longevity
This product does fade away a little over time. I will usually get four or five hours from this and will need to reapply it. This can obviously be a little annoying something, however I love the colour from the blush so I am willing to do this.  

Packaging
The packaging on the product isn't terrible considering the price. It doesn't however look very expensive. It consists of a small pink box with the blush and bronzer inside and the lid fits onto the top. 


Price
This blush costs €3.00 and is available in Penny's/Primark stores which carry their makeup range. 

Would I buy this product again? Yes. Since purchasing the first one I have bought another.
