⭑PS... BRONZE : HIGHLIGHT & GLOW PALETTE ( £4.00)⭑
I am obsessed with highlighter and highlighter palettes, they just give me life! highlighting has become such a huge trend in the past few years, everyone just wants that poppin highlight. Primark has recently launched new products and amongst them is this bronze range, since summer is just around the corner and summer is just all-about-that-glow this seemed like the perfect product to have, so how is this product? I hear you ask...
PACKAGING
Simple but beautiful. The packaging reminds me of the Anastasia glow kits, but this does not contain a mirror which is the main difference although it does have an image to guide beginners on highlighting, however, I found it quite useless. The "highlight & glow" text is embossed in gold on the case which looks stunning and for £4 they did well for the packaging but it is not the most sturdy, closes shut by a magnet which is not that strong, it was quite difficult finding a palette that did not have a smashed highlighter inside.
SHADES
SUNBEAM
The pearly white shade which is perfect as a brow highlight and for inner eye corners suitable for light and medium skin tones.

SIESTA
Beautiful subtle pink highlighter suitable for light to medium skin tones. I love mixing both sunbeam and siesta together to get my perfect highlighter shade.
SUNDOWN
The bronzey-orange shade which is very similar to Anastasia highlighter shade " Bronzed " in the sun dipped palette. This is very warm and rich and tends to look quite orangey on light-medium skin tones but definitely looks stunning on deeper skin tones.

POOL PARTY
Copper brown highlighter shade which yet again complement deeper skin tones and for those who want to achieve that sunkissed glow.

SWATCH & FORMULATION
These just feel extremely smooth and apply effortlessly, I was highly impressed by the pigmentation of these highlighters.I wear sunbeam and siesta together for my everyday type of highlighter and I love it! the highlight does really POP and lasts for the entire day.

FINAL VERDICT
For the price and pigmentation of the highlighters, I was utterly most surprised and actually went back into Primark to repurchase another one because I just know that I will be finishing the two shades sunbeam and siesta very soon as they are my most used highlighter shades. I recommend purchasing this highlighter palette and trying it out for yourself, it is AMAZING! and you get four different tone highlighters for just £4.

⭑PS... BRONZE : SHADOW & SHADE PALETTE ( £4.00)⭑
I just had to purchase this bronze eyeshadow palette as I am obsessed with bronze/gold eye makeup and every eye makeup of mine has to have some sort of warmth to it so I figured this palette would be perfect to have.
PACKAGING
The packaging is quite basic, made out of card and once again beautiful gold embossing of "shadow & shade". This palette is also not that sturdy but the eyeshadows were protected by a plastic film which had the shade names written on ( which I've lost, this is one of the downsides of this palette that the shade names are not written on the palette itself) and does not contain a mirror or even a brush which some may prefer to have but I don't really mind it not having either.
SWATCH & FORMULATION
The palette contains 5 matte shades and 5 shimmer shades.
The eyeshadows in this palette feel so soft including the matte ones which are quite surprising as matte eyeshadows usually feel quite chalky but these felt so smooth and blended out really well. The pigmentation of these eyeshadows are really good although the third shimmery shade of this palette needed some layering to show up properly despite this most of these have decent pigmentation especially the shimmer shades and there is a variety of shades from highlighter shade to transition and eyelid shades.
FINAL THOUGHTS
For the price and the amount of product you get, I would definitely recommend this product it has a variety of shades perfect for the summer and great for traveling as the palette is very thin and travel-friendly and has a highlight, base and transition shades which are all you need for creating most looks.
