Tying the knot this year?
Don't want to spend a load of cash on the big day?
Then Penneys is here to save the day.
They have everything a bride-to-be could want – from gorgeous lace underwear to cute sleep masks to stunning pyjamas.
And everything is under twenty quid.
But don't wait around, as the range is only available in stores and is sure to sell out as wedding season approaches.
From gel nails to shellac to permanent polish – getting your nails done is a total treat.
However, some weeks we simply don't have time to hit the nail salon – and frankly, it's not always the most affordable way to get our beauty buzz.
Luckily, our ride or die nail polish brand Essence has released….wait for it… not 10, not 20, but 50 shades for Spring/Summer 2019.
The shades cover a huge range of nail trends that we're about to dive into, which have been spotted on the runways of major fashion houses.
However, our favourite part of the new line, besides the diverse shade range, has got to be the price – each bottle of polish comes in at just €1.95. Bargain alert!
Bubblegum pink and white manicures were spotted at Jeremy Scott – hailing the return of two toned nails.
Whether you get artistic by splitting each nail in two using a nail sticker, or simply painting every second nail a different shade, two tone is having a moment.
Try to keep the colour scheme complimentary, such as two pastel shades, or go slightly more editorial with greys, black and white.
Colour popping nails look gorgeous against a summer tan, and perfectly compliment our new season wardrobe of light denim, white t-shirts and nude animal prints.
Essence shades Legally Pink and Mrs Brightside (which we are particularly fond of) are the ideal summer holiday sorbet shades – refreshing, bright and shiny.
Draw more attention to your gorgeous, individual mani by adding a serving of gold jewellery in the form of rings and bracelets.
The dark metallic nail trend look may seem like more of a winter vibe, but a dark nail contrasted with a summer outfit can look incredibly edgy.
City of Stars nail polish is the go to product, as navy blue was seen at Emporio Armani’s show, looking regal and elegant.
Essence gel nail polishes are renowned for rarely needing more than a single coat, so a five minute manicure is guaranteed. What shade is taking your fancy?
We could not be any happier about this news.
Alex Steinherr's BEYOND STUNNING collab with Penneys is not only hitting shelves once again, but two gorgeous products have been added to the line.
Is your skin ravaged by the woeful Irish weather, stuffy offices and grimy daily commute?
Us too, and this collections has legit saved our skin.
It took two years of research and development, is CFI approved, fragrance-free, gentle and results-driven and has been carefully curated by Alex to feature her must-have skincare actives including Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide and Squalane.
One look at her FLAWLESS skin is enough to convince us to stock up on the whole range.
If it couldn't get any more perf, the products are priced from €4 to €6 so glowing skin is within even our budget-stretched reach.
The collab debuted with five ranges – Sleep Spa, Pore Balance, Maximum Moisture, Plump & Glow and Pollution Solution – each featuring mix and match products for a completely customisable skincare regime.
The new products include the ‘Sleep Spa Oil to Milk Cleanser’, which promises a gentle yet super hydrating cleanse that reveals restored skin worthy of an exceptional nights sleep.
Also joining the line up are ‘Pollution Solution Dual Textured Pads’ and ‘Pollution Solution City Mask’, which are Alex’s key to balancing and soothing congested, city-stressed skin.
Alex is an expert in skincare for a reason – she knows what she's talking about.
The Creative and Beauty Director says, ''Everyday I have the privilege of speaking to my readers via my social media platforms and the question I’m asked most is – what’s the best high street skincare brand?''
She continued, ''I struggled to recommend one brand that offered a total skincare solution. Together with Primark, we took a blank sheet of paper and started from scratch, working to develop 20 products that offer my readers and the Primark customer great skincare at great value.”
The Alex Steinherr x Primark collection is stocked in selected Primark stores – nab it while it's hot.
Were feeling the pinch this January, but our wardrobe doesn't have to suffer the consequences.
Zebra print is massive, and has officially taken over from leopard as the print of choice for Instagram influencers, fashion insiders and street style queens alike.
Penneys is offering up this gorge cropped shirt in the statement print, at a price tag that definitely won't break the bank, but might break the January blues – €13.00.
We can see our selves wearing this shirt so many ways – layered open over a black turtleneck and jeans during the colder months, or tied up with high waisted denim shorts and a tangle of gold necklaces come summer.
Here are a few more ways we would style the look:
Topshop Denim Skirt €40.00, Mid Heel Boots €110.00, ASOS Beret €8.30
Faux Leather Skirt €16.00, Buckled Sandals €20.00, Long Trenchcoat €45.00
Satin Wrap Culottes €12.99, Penneys Platform Trainers €16.00, Black Teddy Bear Jacket €39.99
Corduroy Mini Skirt €12.99, Vinyl Tote Bag €19.99, Penneys Platform Trainers €18.00

How can we show our appreciation for the affordable style in Penneys while also contributing to charity services supporting children?
The ISPCC Childline have joined forces with our fave retailer for the Penneys Makes Cents campaign.
All Ireland-winning camogie star Anna Geary has teamed up with the partnership which aims to make it easier for Penneys customers to support children and young people across Ireland.
Penneys really does 'make cents'! A massive thank you to Penneys and all its employees and customers for helping to raise €112,237 through #PenneysMakesCents for @ISPCCChildline. Thank you for being part of every call Childline answers! pic.twitter.com/wkvAKZx8wt

From February 17 to 24, Penneys Makes Cents will give it's customers a chance to ‘Add a little. Do a lot’ for the nation's listening service for kids.
Children and young people make over 380,000 calls, texts and online contacts every single year to Childline's free phone line, live text and web chat services.
These kids seek a listening ear and feel as though they have nowhere else to turn when they make the call; they are experiencing trauma, abuse, neglect, fear and loneliness and vitally need help. No child should have to live through this.
Support Penneys Makes Cents at Penneys stores across Ireland from February 17th to 23rd! Add a little to do a lot – your change could help to change the lives of children. Thank you! @ISPCCChildline @Primark pic.twitter.com/laBBaPUZ0k

Ireland's Fittest Coach, Anna Geary, spoke about the campaign with pride;
“I am delighted to support this fantastic partnership between ISPCC Childline and Penneys. With the support of Penneys and its customers, the vital Childline service will be there for every child and young person in Ireland at every hour of every day and night in 2019 and beyond."
To help keep Childline listening to children and young people, head down to Penneys between February 17 and 23 to donate 50 cent or more to ISPCC Childline. Even a little amount goes a long way.
Ireland’s only 24‐hour listening service for children desperately needs your help when purchasing your Penneys items, and the ISPCC’s Childline service will receive 100 percent of all donations raised in the campaign.
Primark are well-known for their affordable lingerie collections, but we have fallen head-over-heels in love with their latest Valentine's Day collection.
Featuring red lace cut-out bodys, lace thongs and matching bra sets, not to mention silk pyjamas and robes, you're in for a TREAT.
The vibrant red floral theme has stopped our hearts, we have got to get ourselves down to the nearest store to grab them before they're gone.

You deserve to feel sexy all the time, but especially on the most romantic day of the year, right?

“The kimono sleeved dressing gown is about to become your new BFF, for early morning coffees at home, and pre night out prep sessions alike."
Don't mind if we do…At this low price, who could blame us for buying the entire shop?
We're especially in adoration of the pale blue lace corset bra, I mean imagine how GREAT you'd look as a stunning Marie Antoinette?
The hugely popular store is also selling gifts for the big day of love, with candles, cushions, mugs and 'love vouchers' for your chosen one.
You'll have hearts racing in no time with these products. The collections are available in stores now, hurry down before February 14.

It happens every year.
We get our spy gear ready, complete with night vision goggles, Google maps and snacks, of course. We buckle ourselves up for our long-awaited search, the hunt for that jaw-dropping, glamorous, PERFECT….
Winter coat.
Every woman needs a casual must-have jacket for the chilly season, and Penney's have DELIVERED, with a snakeskin cherry on top.
Snakeskin is absolutely everywhere right now, most likely due to Taylor Swift's iconic Reputation album and added snake theme for her immense world tour.
Animal print is the ideal way to make a statement.
You want to be the first person noticed in the Christmas decorated rooms, and the way to do this is by nabbing the most stunning coat in the fashion business.
This puffer jacket is cosy AF, not to mention cheap.
At €30, just think how much cash dollah you're saving for your Christmas shopping.
You can accomplish just about anything in the right coat, we would like to take this opportunity to thank Penneys for keeping us warm without robbing our bank balance of it's dignity.
Say thank u, next to the cold this season, fashion has saved you.
I know it's forbidden to whisper the C word in November – BUT, preparation is key for a successful festive season.
That's why we are DELIGHTED that Penneys have released their stunning Christmas collection.
It's time to revamp your makeup bag with Christmas glitter and golds.
Penneys has that winter glow covered from your desk to the messy Christmas parties.
A standout from the new collection is their range of new highlighters.
The Double Dimension Highlighter comes in three different shades and they can be applied to give you a subtle pop or sharp shine.
It is a complete steal at just €4, so you really can't go wrong.
Now, if you really want to rival the Christmas tree for who shines the brightest – we highly recommend the Glow Double Dimension Highlight Drops.
For flawless results, you can apply it underneath or over makeup for that beautiful glow.
But this product isn't just perfect for capturing the angles on our face – it can also be used on your body such as your collarbone – to really accentuate your Christmas look on a big night out.
This festive season we are obsessing over the glitter eyeshadow looks – the bold golds and sparkling silvers.
And lucky enough – Penneys have all the makeup you need to master the trend.
The new collection has stunning glitter liquid eyeshadows and eye pigment pots, so your eyes really pop.
Or you can opt for the single eyeshadows in beautiful winter colours to really get in the festive mood.
These will be perfect stocking fillers that won't break the bank.
We will be raiding our local Penneys to snap up this incredible Christmas collection.

Since the moment the clock stuck midnight on October 31, the Christmas season is upon us.
Well, some people argue that December is the only month allowed for the Santa hype train to leave the station, but we totally disagree. The Christmas tunes are blaring, ChristmasFM is almost back up and running, and the greatest jumpers are already in stores right now.
Finding the funniest, most glamorous or just plain ugly Christmas styles can be a tricky task. We've only gone and done you the favour of finding all the best ones. Thank us later, a Christmas card will do. Or maybe some mulled wine and mistletoe?
THE EXCITEMENT.
1. The drinking game jumper
First up, we've got an actual drinking game in woolly jumper form. There literally is nothing else as magical. Tipsy Elves have gifted us with this joy, order it from Amazon for €45 and you'll be the life of every festive party.
They even have the rules for the game printed on the back so you won't forget, and it comes with six balls for you and your pals. Hint: the bulls eye results in the entire party drinking. Good luck with that one…
2. The Jesus jumper
Up next, we have a Jesus Christ birthday jumper from Uppers and Downers, the current price is €59.
To be fair, the Christian holiday is supposed to be celebrating the religious day of Jesus' birth, so the fact that his face is on a jumper isn't unheard of.
It is most definitely unconventional however, especially seeing as he is sporting a birthday hat, a red balloon and a dove. To each their own, we say.
3. The Tupac tribute
Next, we've got an actual Tupac Christmas jumper. We didn't think it was possible either, but Tipsy Elves have only gone and done it.
Get your official "Only Santa can judge me" jumper for €35.50 from Amazon, and rest assured you will be the talk of the hip-hop town.
The resemblance between Tupac and Mr. Claus is uncanny… sort of…
4. The gin-lovers jumper
Gin lovers, this one is going to rock your world. Not On The High Street have released an exclusive Christmas jumper dedicated to a stunning gin pun.
GINgle Bells: we truly want to shake hands with whoever thought of this as a Christmas jumper concept, it's pure GINius.
It won't break the bank either, the website are releasing it for just €37, excluding shipping from the UK.
Get on this one ASAP, we have a feeling plenty of Bombay Sapphire, Cork Dry and Hendricks fans will be racing to purchase it..
5. The glow in the dark jumper
This next festive fashion piece looks pretty normal at first glance. That is, until the lights go off. The white material turns fluorescent green and the red material reverts to black, so there will be no difficulty in spotting you once night falls.
Yes, Jolly have legitimately created a GLOW IN THE DARK Christmas jumper. For an absolute steal as well; it's only €32.
If you are desperate to light up the party, this is the one for you.
6. The Brexit jumper
This next offer is tongue-in-cheek with a heavy dose of politics: Teespring have created a jumper based around Brexit. Seriously.
It's currently priced at €32.16, and has already gained traction online due to the controversy of the UK situation.
Will you be that person at the Christmas party who has one glass of mulled wine and engages in serious political debate throughout the night?
7. The Make Christmas Great Again jumper
This next one is yet another political figure reference, wear it if you dare.
Yes, someone genuinely took it upon themselves to design a jumper around Donald Trump. As if his face doesn't bombard us in every other domain…
Cloud City 7 appear to want to stoke some light-hearted Christmas cheer through a dash of controversy, for just €31 (delivery not included.) Keep the change, ya filthy animals.
8. The Game of Thrones jumper
We are MAJOR fans of this next one, inspired by Game of Thrones, of course.
Funky Christmas Jumpers online are releasing this magical themed jumper for just €44.99
The twist on the classic phrase 'Winter is Coming' has us GASPING for Christmas (and the final ever season of the show, no biggie).
We recommend try building a Jon Snow-man to match the jumper, just' a thought.
9. The selfie jumper
The next joyous jumper we discovered is also from Funky Christmas Jumpers, and is about as millennial as they come.
A JESUS SELFIE jumper has indeed been created. Even more absurd, a COUPLES JESUS SELFIE jumper.
Stop the world, we're getting off.
10. The Tesco Value jumper
Last but not least, the Tesco Value Christmas jumper.
For those Christmas fans who want to keep things on the cheap, this offering is perfect for you.
We wonder if Supervalu, Dunnes Stores, Lidl or Aldi will release their own versions? Competition is healthy, folks.
There you have it, 2018's latest and greatest Christmas jumpers.
Grab yours in time for December you can wear it 25 days straight, that's our plan.
Which will you choose? Happy shopping, gals.
All of the muggles – cover your eyes now; Christmas is only eight weeks away.
And it has come even earlier for all you Harry Potter fans.
Penneys have released a collection of dreams for all you Potterheads.
The colder weather means it's jumper season and you can keep snug in this gorgeous knitted Gryffindor jumper.
And we adore the grey hoodie with little cartoons of the famous three characters on the front.
Penneys also have HP joggers so you can get your sweat on in true Hogwarts style.
But what really took the biscuit for us in this new line is the nightwear.
You can deck yourself out with some hooting PJs inspired by Hedwig.
The grandpa slippers have made a come-back and keep those little piggies all cosy with a choice of three different types.
The gold and red Harry Potter slippers is a personal fave as the colours are positively festive.
Match them with these hella cute check-shorts or opt for the longer version to keep those legs warm.
Or if you're pinching the pennies, a combo PJ set won't break the bank but will have you feeling like a true witch.
Wands at the ready: within the new range is some magical home gear.
To save for Christmas, collect your change in the purple night-bus money box or the Weasleys' family car money bank – UNREAL.
You can recreate the feels of the Great Hall with the HP inspired candle range – although don't even attempt to get them floating as burning down the house isn't a good look.
Or add some comfort to your bed or couch with some STUNNING pillows – one even glows in the dark.
Penneys have really outdone themselves with this enchanting range.
We have no doubt that the items will fly off the shelves faster than you can say gillyweed.

Penneys and RTÉ have released this year’s limited edition Late Late Toy Show collection and it is too cute for words.

Once the show is over make sure to write that all-important letter to Santa using the letter pack and then slip on the owl eye mask for a perfect festive dream-filled sleep.
