A BEAUTY fan has shared the gloss she found in Primark which she reckons is a dupe for a Fenty lip product – but loads cheaper.
In the recent years, Primark have really upped their game, both when it comes to fashion and make-up.
And it seems, there is no stopping the budget retailer, as one woman, TikTok user, Shannon Spalding (@shanspaldingx), was convinced she's found a dupe for the viral Fenty lip gloss.
Sharing the news with her 112k followers, the stunning blonde took to TikTok, where she tried it out.
''I think I found the Fenty dupe for the lip gloss in Primark.
''This is literally my holy grail, it's Sweet Mouth by Fenty […] – literally gorgeous,'' she said in the video.

In terms of first impressions just by looking at the packaging, Shannon noted that the posh version, which retails for £18, had a slightly more pink hue to it.
Unlike the real Fenty item, the Primark version, called High Gloss Light Weight Ultra Shine lip gloss, scans for just £1.50 at the till.
To give the cheaper product a fair chance, Shannon followed her usual make-up routine – she first applied a lip liner and then a dot of concealer in the middle of her lips.
Whilst applying the Primark lip gloss, which she had bought in the shade Bombshell, the blonde noted the product wasn't as thick.

''I love the shade though, I feel like it's very similar.
''It feels super lightweight on my lips and I mean, it's frickin' glossy – I'm obsessed.''
Fellow beauty fans flocked to comments and it seems Shannon wasn't the only one who couldn't get over how stunning the product was.
One exclaimed: ''Oh I loveeee.''
''That gloss 🤩,'' another added.
''Love ur hauls and videos carry on making them girl [sic],'' a third fan penned.
But despite all the hype the retailer's received on TikTok and social media, one shopper, Bry (@bpiddyy), was anything but pleasantly surprised when popping down to her nearby Primark.
She had expected to see all the ''unreal bits'' others had shared in their shopping hauls – however, the reality was slightly different.
Mortified, the young woman posted a video on the popular platform, demanding answers.
''where is everyone finding all these unreal primark fits… my primark is seriously lacking,'' Bry wrote by the clip.
Rather than the trendy garments fellow style fans had nabbed, such as adorable pastel co-ords, Bry's store was filled with outdated outfits.
''What in the 2014 is going on in Primark?'' she exclaimed.
Some of the items she stumbled upon whilst browsing their latest collection included long T-shirts with slogans, flimsy tunic dresses and shapeless vests.
Bry was also not particularly impressed with a lilac top that said ''Florida Choose to Shine'', as well as check shirts in blue and black.
It wasn't just Bry whose Primark wasn't 'Primarking' – hundreds of others revealed theirs looked nothing like their expectations.
One exclaimed: ''finally a realistic primark video, ive never seen one that doesn’t look like this [sic].''
Another was mortified at their style too, writing: ''i looked for black hoodie and they all had cringey slogans or american colleges on them?
''Like, no Primark, i did not go to Harvard or ohio state [sic].''
''Primark is a rag store !! I don’t know how anyone finds anything decent in it,'' a fashionista was baffled.

''I was at primark today after around 4 years of not going there. And I found the same jacket I got from there in 2013!'' a style lover revealed.
Someone else reckoned: ''I BET they kept old unsold stuff every year and just randomly decided to take it out and sell it again.''
