Is it summer yet?

Looking out the window right now, the answer would obviously be no. However, with summer in our sights, our favourite high street stores are getting us in the mood early having been releasing their summer ranges over the last few weeks. Yes, shop windows have been revamped with bright colours and shorter hemlines as many start their holiday shopping while still wrapped in their winter garb. And while it might still feel a bit too soon for you, we'd recommend purchasing these bits from Penneys' new festival range as soon as you see them in store because they're guaranteed to sell out. Penneys beauty range has been our firm favourite of ours since it was first released and in recent months we've been filling our baskets with more and more thanks to the hugely successful PS Pro range and that Nude collection that we fell in love with instantly. Well, now it's the turn of Glitter Junkie - Penneys festival beauty range and it does exactly what it says on the tin. This range is glitter, glitter and even more glitter. From body paints to eye pigments, Glitter Junkie is the perfect collection to recreate those Coachella vibes a little closer to home. Yes, in recent years, we've seen Irish festivals become more and more similar to the hugely Instagrammable US event. Festival style is something many ladies are shopping for year round in the hopes of creating the perfect festival look and when it comes to the Irish scene, there's one thing we love more than anything else - glitter! From in our hair to under our eyes, as much as we like to think we won't, we just can't help but embrace those shimmering shades as soon as we get to the campsite. However, last year there was a new kid in town when it came to our festival beauty regime and it was a lifesaver. Body gems were the makeup option of choice for many last year and the reason being that they weren't makeup at all. The stick-on gems are a dream for those looking to make a big statement in a flash and it looks like Penneys think the same. The Glitter Junkie range has a huge selection of face gems on offer, so the most difficult part will be choosing which one you want. Set the whole look off with their new 28-shade eyeshadow palette, filled with28 gorgeously glittered pigments and you'll be good to go. Yes, you'll be ready for your Instagram close-up in no time. Prices range from as low as €2 to €6 and we'll be taking one of each!
