THE TBM BEAUTY EDIT:

5 PRIMARK BEAUTY PRODUCTS WE’VE TRIED — AND ACTUALLY LOVE

Hello Beauties,

Primark Beauty has become one of those places where a quick browse can turn into a surprisingly good beauty haul. We’ve tried all five of these products ourselves — and they’re the ones that genuinely earned a place in our edit. From an AED 20 blurring primer and glow stick to an AED 5.50 manicure, these are affordable beauty finds that prove a great formula doesn’t always need a luxury price tag.

01 — PS… BLUR FACE PRIMER

At AED 20, this is one of those Primark Beauty finds that punches well above its price point. Enriched with Vitamin E, the blurring primer smooths the look of the skin and creates a more even base before makeup. We’ve tested it ourselves, and what we like most is the finish: polished and soft-focus without making the complexion feel overloaded. An easy everyday prep step that does exactly what we want it to do.

02 — PS… PRO HIGHLIGHTER STICK

Another AED 20 find, and one of our favourites for quick, uncomplicated glow. The PS… Pro Highlighter Stick is enriched with Vitamin E and gives the complexion a luminous finish without requiring a complicated makeup routine. We like it applied strategically to the high points of the face for a fresh, light-catching effect. The stick format also makes it particularly good for a handbag or travel beauty kit.

03 — PS… SCENTED BODY SERUM

The texture is what makes this AED 20 body serum stand out. Its gel-to-oil formula combines Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E, giving it that lightweight-but-nourishing quality we want from summer body care. It leaves skin feeling cared for without turning a simple body routine into an elaborate ritual. Especially in Dubai, where air-conditioning, heat and sun can leave skin feeling dry, this is the kind of inexpensive extra we happily keep within reach.

04 — PS… POINTED GLOSS FALSE NAILS

AED 5.50. Yes, really. These pointed false nails come in a glossy Hot Pink finish and deliver exactly the kind of instant manicure moment that makes affordable beauty fun. The set includes 24 nails with glue and is designed for up to seven days of wear. We love them as a quick colour switch when there’s no time — or reason — for a full salon appointment.

05 — PS… LIQUID BLUSH

A good liquid blush should make the complexion look alive without requiring ten minutes of blending. This AED 17 Primark version gives us exactly that kind of easy colour. The Hot Pink shade looks bold in the bottle, but the liquid format allows the intensity to be controlled as it’s applied. A tiny amount is enough for a fresh pop of colour — and it’s another reminder that some of the most useful products in a beauty bag can also be among the least expensive.
