I Tried 3 Kitchen Beauty Hacks For My Skin
The author tested three popular kitchen beauty hacks: green tea ice cubes for under-eye circles, lemon juice as a dry shampoo alternative, and olive oil as a makeup remover. The green tea ice cubes were effective in reducing puffiness and dark circles. Lemon juice failed to de-grease hair and was deemed a failure. Olive oil successfully removed makeup but left a greasy residue, making it a less desirable option compared to standard makeup removers. The hacks were not necessarily more time-efficient than regular products but offer natural, cost-effective alternatives.

PS Beauty Workout Collection: We test Primark's budget gym makeup
Laura Pearson-Smith reviews Primark Beauty's Workout Collection, designed for gym use. The collection is budget-friendly, but the foundation stick is criticized for its color and texture, and the eyeliner for its lack of pigmentation and smudging. The mascara and lip products receive praise for their performance. However, the collection's waterproof claim is challenged, as the lipstick and eyeliner did not hold up in a shower test. Overall, the collection is not recommended for gym use, but the mascara and lip products are considered good for other occasions.
