Penneys make up & beauty products

Haven't tried their strip lashes but I've used their individual lashes and they're great. (Used Duo glue instead of the glue that came with them) Think they were €3.

Their oatmeal hand mask is great. Those foundation sticks are great for contouring! Not bad at all, a bit like a drier panstick.

Oh and their strip lashes are fantastic for the money too, but I use my own glue.

My favourite Penney's stuff:

Glue-on nails- only €1.50. If you take your time and stick them on firmly, you should get nearly a week out of them. I find these really good for the price, considering most other glue-on nails cost at least €6/€7.

Cotton pads- €2. I buy the big pack cos I go through these so quickly. Not fluffy, decent thickness.

Lip pencils- €1.50. Only a few colours available, but the ones they have are good. Decent longevity and go on smoothly.

Liquid lipsticks- €2 (I think). Again, not that many colours but they're pretty good, especially for the price.

Sunkissed tan- €3.50. This is a BARGAIN. It's a mousse and smells of coconut, fab. Goes on really smoothly and dries straight away, wears off nicely too. A lot of it comes off after showering post-application, but it leaves a lovely glow, not at all orange.

There are probably more I can't think of right now. A few things I didn't like were the eyeshadow quads (waaaaaaaay too shimmery, loads of fallout and I ended up with glittery crap all over my face), gel eyeliner (no longevity, not very black... although I did love the inbuilt liner brush in the cap, handy) kohl eyeliner (again, feck all longevity, not very black), nail files and pretty much all of their makeup brushes are pretty crap too- worth spending a few euro more to get decent ones.

This is a pretty good article, although I haven't seen all these products and there are definitely more available than these:

I have been waiting for this thread! I've recently picked up one or two bits and pieces from the PS makeup range, and have been really impressed - I saw a few posts floating around on Instagram and Twitter about how good the range has gotten recently.

Heard loads about the lipliners although I haven't used any yet myself. I've used the foundation stick in Tan for contouring and it works like a dream, got a few compliments. Their nail varnishes are great, whenever I wear the nude shade I'm always asked where I got the colour. I'm looking to pick up their nude lipstick now.

Has anyone got their hands on the make up setting spray from Penneys? I think it arrived in store last week. One or two people I follow on FB have said it is pretty good.

The smell is very chemical-like couldn't bear it on my face.
I love their nail polish remover wipes, I got a twin pack for 1.50 recently - bargain!

I was in getting a few bits anyway so decided to pick up some make up too as its next to nothing! For less than €20 I got:

Red Lippy. Didn't go on much like the colour of the tube.
Pink lip liner. They only seem to have 2 shades. Goes on really well and colour is lovely. Didn't give it the lasting test.
Pink blusher. Found it a bit dry I think it will crumble in the container. Nice otherwise.
Mascara. For the price of it its well worth having to pop into your drawer in work or leave in the car for emergencies
Liquid liner. Cant see me having much use of it. Its miles behind anything decent I have.
Kohl liner. Good enough for me at 1.50 for 2 of them!
Shadows. I love shimmery eyeshadow. Didnt find it came away easy myself. Use a primer it will be perfect!
Red lipgloss. Most impressed with this. Can never have too many lip glosses but love the shade and its straight into my bag!
Application sponges. Cheap and cheerful
Blue nail polish. Haven't used it properly yet jus did one nail. Nice colour.

Overal for the price of it its miles better than the cheap, more expensive, stuff I would have as a teen.

The have Rimmels new lasting full coverage foundation for 7euro. Had to give it a go. Don't bother if you want full coverage. Its more medium coverage to me. Its buildable but even so after a 3 layers I didn't find it great. Wore for about 15 hours and it was still perfect. Cuddo for that Rimmel.

I just have the double ended foundation/concealer brush. I find it good, does the job. Have washed it a few times and I don't think one bristle has shed.

I'm a big fan of their makeup brushes, dead cheap and do the job well (imo!). I have the flat foundation brush, double ended stippling brush, eyeshadow brush & double ended powder/blush brush. Have washed all of them a couple of times and no sign of them shedding. The eyeshadow brush in particular is lovely & fluffy for blending.

Oooh what's it called? I would be interested in that!

It's called PS Love to Glow - pics up on Matte to Metallic's fb page.

If its the spray you're talking about, I've used it and have had no reaction. I've very sensitive skin and so far no reaction to any of their products

I love their eyebrow kit and their bronzer, beautiful colors and great finish. I'm keeping an eye out for their contour kit, like the rest of th country!

Finally picked up a contouring kit in dundrum today, excited to try. Also picked up some mascara. Have been using their bronzer for the past week and I love it, great shade for my skin

Isn't that the multicolored bronzer?the one with all the lines?

Yep, it's really good. Reminds me of a lancome bronzer I had years ago
