I was in my local Primark store recently and couldn't help but notice a lot of cosmetic items within the store. These were hanging on a display, and each item was supplied in a little clear plastic bag so that the cosmetic items were each visible and easy to inspect more closely. Noting that some of the cosmetics, in particular those aimed at eye make-up such as eyeliner and shadow pots, were available in some rather interesting colours, I took a closer look to see what was on offer. I eventually decided to purchase the Primark "Opia" eye crayon. The colour I have is a very deep purple/plum shade, but there is nothing on the packaging to ...  Read the complete review

I love Primark, it really can't be beaten for bargain clothes. I go there regularly to stock up on essentials like knickers and bras as well as seasonal items and special one offs. I was so excited when they started doing make up. Unfortunately it didn't last long in my local store, but I did stock up while it was there! One of the items I bought was a purple Primark Opia Eye Crayon for the pricely sum of fifty pence. The packaging is really simple, very clear and basic, which represents the price, and normally when you buy eye pencils they do not have any baggage so thi sis an extra anyway. In a shop as chaotic as primark the extra packaging is probably an ...  Read the complete review

Primark cosmetics are affordable-'cheap as chips' as some would say and I discovered the Opia Crayon a while ago when I was looking for something similar to my BarryM pencil (the jumbo one which dare I say I paid around £5.00 for).

The crayon is just like say a kohl pencil, just chunkier and in my humble opinion slightly oilier (is that a word?!) than kohl pencils (the more expensive ones anyway). The crayon is easy to apply, and less figidity than a liquid eyeliner so gets a thumbs up from notive ...  Read the complete review

This 'crayon' packs a lotta punch for its price! At just £1 for an average sized eye liner pencil, one that you can sharpen and has a clear lid, Primark has done really well.. It really did amaze me. It comes in SO many colours, i have a few of them (as well as a standard black one) in a dark brown, a deep purple and a really deep blue and surprisingly they don't look at all silly! There are a lot of other colours such as neons and rather ridiculous ones such as orange, but for the ones that are more suitable colours they aren't that bad. They come in a clear, plain, simple plastic bag that doesn't give you much information about the ...  Read the complete review
