'I ditched my £400 makeup bag for £1 Primark designer dupes - I was gobsmacked'

If you're anything like me, aka a self-confessed make-up hoarder, obsessive, and lover, then you'll probably have a cosmetics bag full of stuff from high-end, to high street. After working at Estee Lauder when I was at uni, I developed a keen eye for all things beauty, and years later, my love for it hasn't changed.

Make-up is so pricey though, and as we're facing a potential recession, many of us will be looking for places we can tighten our belts, and for some, this area will be make-up and beauty - but if you could get similar for a fraction of the price, it'd be silly to buy the expensive one, right?

So, I headed to Primark to see what beauty bargains I could pick up, and to also see whether the products live up to the hype they seem to have on social media sites like TikTok and Instagram.
