Primark Haul | May 2017

I hadn't had a massive Primark shop forever so one day I decided to. I went to my local branch and ended up buying lots of things, which I'm really excited about. I have worn some of them already as I've been so impatient to!

4 Pack Fashion Tissues- Whenever I'm having a big shop in Primark I will always pick up these 4 pack of tissues. I always take them to school with me so I like to have more. These are great value for money as you get 4 packs for 50p and they also have cute outer packaging. 

These were 50p

6 Pack Mixed Hairclips- If you haven't read my last post (why haven't you?!?) you would know that I have been curling my hair a lot recently so I got these for that. I have used them but they were a bit fiddly trying to separate my hair so I might try them again or just not use them.

These were £1

Brow Bar Sunglasses- These sunglasses were hugly on trend last year thanks to the Dior version but I decided to pick some up because I really liked them and I feel like my usual Aviators make me look like a criminal so I wanted to get some new ones.

These were £2 (was £3)

Triangle Bar Necklace- Whenever I'm having a big shop in Primark I always end up buying a necklace and this was the one that I bought this time. I haven't worn it yet but I think it will end up looking cute with loads of outfits, especially ones with black jeans and something which is featuring in this haul.

This was £3

Pink & Leopard Print PJ Set- I've mentioned these a few times on my blog but that's because I really like them. They come with a plain t-shirt and printed pyjama bottoms, which are super comfy. These work out to be £3 for each thing which is great and that's why I prefer buying them in sets.

This was £6

2x Black Cotton Leggings- Primark have the best leggings and I'm always buying more. I wouldn't buy them anywhere else because they'll probably still split and in Primark I can buy 3 pairs for £7.50 but in New Look I can only buy 1 pair for £7.99 so I would rather buy them in Primark.

These were £2.50 each. 

Black 'The Slouch Tee'- I already have one of these but because it's a good basic to have I picked up another. I usually wear these under cropped hoodies because I like the look of cropped hoodies but I don't actually like wearing crop tops and things so I'll wear one of these underneath.

This was £2

Coral Pom Pom Shorts- If you know me you would know that I hate showing my legs so buying shorts is a bit weird for me. However I purchased them to be used as pyjama shorts. Usually in the summer I get really hot at night so I can wear these, even though they're not supposed to be. 

These were £2.50

Long-line Lightweight Blazer- This blazer is something that I've wanted for a while now (not this exact one but this style) so when I saw it in Primark I had to buy it. I love the colour and it will smarten up any outfit. I've worn this already with black jeans and boots and I think it looked really nice if I do say so myself. 

Nude/Light Stretch Vest- This is just something that I picked up to go underneath the pink lace top as I knew that I wouldn't have anything to wear underneath it so I bought this vest, which isn't something that I wouldn't wear any other time. 
This was £2.50

Light Pink Lace Top- This top looks perfect for spring and I think it could be dressed up or down, depending on what you prefer. As it's lacy I bought the vest above to wear underneath and I'll probably wear this with jeans and also boots for a really cute outfit for spring going into summer.
This was £6 from Primark 

Brown Cropped Hoodie- Everyone seems to have this or something like this and I really like the style. Every time I've gone to Primark they never had my size so this time so I could finally get it I sized up to a size 12 and it does actually fit well (apart from the arms are too long) and it also means that this isn't too cropped on me, which I love.

This was £6

There was another top that I bought but I've seemed to lost the picture somewhere either on my laptop or my phone but we'll just leave the haul here. If there's any blog post suggestions you have let me know in the comments below and follow me on Twitter (@thelipinsider) and also on Instagram (@thelipstickinsider). 

Primark Haul

I feel like I haven't done a Primark Haul in ages and that's because I haven't done a big Primark shop for a while but the other day I bought quite a few things and it only came to £24.20 which is great considering the fact that I bought 9 items and it's also good that I didn't spend that much money!

Floral Umbrella- I didn't have an umbrella at all and whilst in Primark I noticed the umbrellas and remembered to get one so finally I now have one. I really like this floral print but they had a lot of designs if you don't like the floral.

This was £4 from Primark

2x Faux Plants In Pots- I already had one of these and that sits on the top of my books but I realised that my room lacked nature so I bought 2- one is going to go on my dresser and the other will probably go on my desk or windowsill.

They were £2 each from Primark

Pink & White Cosy Socks 2 Pack- For a trip we got told to bring cozy socks and I did have some but I wanted to get some fresh ones. These ones are really cute and I love the cosy socks from Primark

This was £1.70 from Primark

Pastel Paint Splodges Makeup Bag- The bag that I'm currently using is pastel so to go along with that I bought a pastel makeup bag which will be my travel makeup bag. Something that makes this even better is that on the zip there is a silver tassel!

This was £3 from Primark

Plastic Black Wayfarer Sunglasses- Obviously it's not summer yet but I wanted to buy sunglasses before the actual summer and you never know when you'll need them. These were £1 and I really like wayfarers as I think they suit me the most.

This was £1 from Primark

Floral Slip On Plimsolls- I needed a pair of shoes that I didn't mind if they got ruined so I got this pair because they're cute and I would wear them if they didn't get ruined but if they did get ruined I wouldn't care.

These were £3 from Primark

Navy Blue & White Birds Sweatshirt- I also got this for the trip but it's really cute and I know it will be very comfy as I already have a sweatshirt from Primark and it's super comfy as the sweatshirts have a cosy, fleecy lining. 

This was £5 from Primark

Black Leggings- Primark is the shop where I always buy my leggings from just because I don't want to spend loads on leggings. Obviously they do create holes but that is after a few months of having them so I don't mind spending £2.50 on them.

This was £2.50 from Primark

That is all that I have bought from Primark on my latest shopping trip. I have actually bought two more clothing items from Primark on a separate trip but I will show you them in a collective haul. Let me know in the comments below what is your favourite clothes shop? Mine is probably Primark and H&M.

Primark Haul | February 2017

Recently I went to Primark in Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex and I bought a few things that I really like so I wanted to share them with you. Everything I got was a bit random to be honest but I thought I would share them with you and because I got them not too long ago they're probably still in store now.

White Cotton Rich 7 Pack Trainer Socks- Loads of my socks have holes in and I hate having holes in my socks so while I was in Primark and saw the socks I picked these up as you get 7 for £1.70, which is such a good deal. 

Mocha and Leopard Print Pyjama Set- I love the £6 pyjamas sets so I picked up another while I was in Primark as they had a massive sleepwear section and it was right as you walked in. The bottoms are a really nice fit and the top is short sleeve which I actually like, even though it's winter. 

Black Converse Style Canvas Shoes- These were £7 for fake Converse and I wouldn't spend around £50 on real Converse so I like buying the fake ones. I've had a pair like these from Primark before and loved them and wearing these will be a change from always wearing boots.

Simple Gold Bar Necklace- The only jewellery I wear are mainly necklaces so I picked up another and this one is a lot more simple and I don't own anything like this so I got it and I really like it and it was only £1.50 which is a bargain. 

PS... 2 Pack Blending Sponge- I like applying my makeup with blending sponges and the two I currently have are really dirty so I got some new ones. I don't think I'll use the light pink one but I got it for the dark pink one and Primark didn't have any singular ones so I use got a two pack for £1.50.

Floral Skull Water Bottle- Something that I've needed to pick up for a while is a new waterbottle because I didn't really like the one I had. I really like the thing on this water bottle and I also prefer this style of bottle to the one I had before. It also fits 1000ml of water, which is great for £3.

Pink Off The Shoulder Jumper- Everyone is wearing off the shoulder tops and jumpers but I hadn't started wearing them until I bought this and I'm in love with it. It's so cozy and I actually like the off the shoulder look- for a jumper that I know I'm going to get a lot of wear out of it, this was a bargain at £6.

Umbrella Printed Peter Pan Shirt- Peter Pan shirts/tops are really cute and I actually didn't have any and Primark had loads with cute designs so I picked up this one. I haven't worn it yet but I'm going to wear it today and I'm going to wear it with black leggings and the converse style shoes I showed earlier. This was £6.

So that's everything I picked up in Primark last time I was in there and I know it's not that much but there's some nice things in there that I thought deserved to be shown. Let me know what blog posts you want to see in 2017 in the comments below.

Primark Haul!

Today I'm back with another Primark Haul and this is the biggest Primark Haul I've ever done so I'm really excited. Just a note to add I didn't buy all of this in one go because then I would've had about a million bags to take home with me. I went to a few different Primarks because they all have some different stuff in.

Basic White T-Shirt £2 | Basic Grey Sweatshirt £5 | Cobalt Blue Super soft Jumper £4.50 | Wool Star Jumper £10

In the winter I wear a lot of jumpers (seriously I need to do a jumper collection) so I picked up another three. I got this really soft basic grey sweatshirt because I have no grey clothing. Then I got a cobalt blue jumper because I love this shade of blue and I think it really stands out in a black outfit (I also got a black one but that's in the wash). I want to start building up my basics so I got a plain white t-shirt because that can go with so many outfits.

Velvet Opaque Black Tights £3.50 | Black Jeggings £6 | PU Leather Skirt £8 | Bengaline Trousers £9

I finally bought some Jeggings that actually fit and I like wearing; I've had a nightmare trying to find the perfect jeans/jeggings but I couldn't find any but these are like a dream and I really want to get some more in blue. The other pair of trousers I got were these black and white ones and I wanted a pair like these for ages but I decided to get them and I love them. In the Autumn I love wearing skirts so I got this fake leather one and I think it's really nice. I also picked up a pack of tights because they come in so handy, especially as I love wearing skirts.

Fake Plant £2 | Copper Mirror £1.50 | PS... Kabuki Brush £2 | PS... Foundation & Concealer Brush £2 | Coral Lace Trim Socks £1.50 | PS... Deep Cleansing Facial Wipes £1 | Black & White Knit Snood £4 | Blue & White Knitted Kimono £7 (was £14) | Hershey's Flavoured Lip Balm £1.50 | PS... Matte Lip Crayon in Nude Beach £2 | Tan Ankle Boots £12 | Ugg Style Boots £5 | Black Fedora Hat £3 (was £8)

Wow that's a lot of stuff in one photo and it was meant to be like that but I was in a rush to take it. Primark is my favourite place to buy shoes because they fit so well (I have awkward size feet)and they have really nice shoes and that's why I got two new pairs of boots. I also got a hat and I've wanted a hat like this for ages but I was so scared to get one; I haven't actually worn it out yet but one day I will. The other stuff is quite random and explains itself like what can I really say about a mirror.

I hope you enjoyed this Primark Haul and I really want to do some more hauls for some other shops because I haven't really been buying that much other stuff, only clothes and makeup. I also want to do a Makeup Collection so if you want to see that let me know.

Tiger + Primark Haul

Recently when I was down Oxford Street I made some purchases in Tiger and Primark so I thought I would share what I got as I do really like everything that I got, even if they are a bit random. 

Greeting Cards- Firstly I got some greeting cards and I got two because they were 2 for £1. My local Tiger is rubbish and they don't have any cards so I thought I would get some and these are my favourite designs they had. I don't know what I'm going to use them for but I will find a use.

These were 2 for £1 from Tiger.

Flamingo Treat Bags- I always need a snack bag, especially for food in school and I can bring in some treats in here. They're also really cute; even though they are quite summer-y but that doesn't matter because they all do the same thing whatever the design is.

These were £2 from Tiger.

 Regular White Earphones- I needed some new earphones because the ones I had were broken so when I was in Tiger and saw these I decided to pick them up. When I got these home I found these don't actually work so obviously I am really annoyed and now I have no earphones.

These were £3 from Tiger

3x Design Paper Tapes- I love Tiger's washi/paper tapes and my local Tiger doesn't stock them so I picked these up. The pack includes a pink one that has a really small white design, a mint green plain one and a blue and yellow triangle design one and they're really good quailty.

These were £2 from Tiger

Dori Notebook- Sometimes I watch a lot of the crafty YouTubers if I'm feeling creative and they all have these notebooks where you can put different inserts in and I never knew where you could get them from. These come with a lined insert and a squared paper insert. I don't know what to use this for yet but I know I will use it sometime.

This was £2 from Tiger

3 Pack Canvas'- I love pink and gold and when I saw these I knew they would look super cute in my room. I have two of them on my windowsill (the ones on the ends) and the one in the middle is on my bedside table. The only problem was taking these home on the tube but that didn't stop me buying them.

These were £4 from Primark

Black and White Floral Pyjama Set- I haven't bought any new pyjamas for a while and autumn signals pyjama season for me so I thought I would get some new ones. The Primark on Oxford Street was so busy so it was hard to find nice ones but I want to go back to a quieter Primark and buy some more.

This was £6 from Primark

Atmosphere Workout Shoe Liners- I just picked up a new pack of socks because socks are obviously an essential to have and I don't really like normal socks so I bought some trainer socks to wear when I'm wearing shoes that need socks.

These were £2.50 from Primark

Copper and Metals Purse- I loved my old Primark purse that I have had for over a year and is still fine (I only had my New Look purse for a couple of months then it broke) but I was getting bored of the design so I got this lovely copper one and it's in the exact same style as my last one which is what I wanted.

This was £6 from Primark

That is everything that I got from Tiger and Primark. My next post will be a massive Primark Haul and I'm so excited to write it; I know there's been a lot of hauls recently but I do have a lot of other posts planned!

Primark Haul

Today I have a Primark Haul and this is quite a small Primark Haul as there's only like 7 things and most of it isn't clothes but I still wanted to show you guys what I got because I love everything that I got. I will have another Primark Haul soon (I might do it as the next post) because I got some more clothes when I recently went.

Taupe Fold Corner Soft Handbag- Obviously I didn't need another handbag but I did really like this bag so I got it. It's really nice because the colour will go with everything in the autumn but the only problem is the way to do it up is a tie and it's quite unsafe so I don't use this when I go to London.

This was £9 from Primark

Brown Chelsea Boots- I've wanted a pair of Chelsea boots for ages now and I'm so glad I found these at a reasonable price. I knew I wanted to look for the boots before going in there as I had seen them on YouTube videos and I'm so glad my local Primark had them. I also love Primark shoes because they fit well and I find it hard to find shoes that fit.

These were £7 from Primark

Long Sleeve White & Navy Stretch Tee- I have this top but it's the opposite colours so where there is white its navy on the one I already have and the same with the navy on this one and because I really like that top I decided to get another. This is a good thing to have in your wardrobe as it can be dressed up or down.

This was £4 

Super Soft Grey Faux Hoodie- You may actually remember this from Zoella's Primark Haul because it is the same one but I did get it before her (I'm pre-writing this and I got this stuff in September). This is sooooo soft but it was confusing when I first got it as it's not actually a hoodie as there's no hood.

This was £8

Atmosphere Active Multi Colour Sports Bra- I hate working out and PE but I do know that you have to work out because the teachers always go on about it so I thought I would get a sports bra to help motivate me (I already have workout leggings) and if I workout regularly I will buy more.

This was £4

Oopia 20 Pack Of Rose Gold Bangles- I used to love bangles and I love rose gold so I thought I would pick up a cheap pack to see if I actually wear them. So far they are still in the packaging and I might've forgotten about them for a couple of weeks.... but I will wear them soon I hope.

These were £2

P.S. Love Nail Polish Fast Dry Spray- I've had this before so I thought I would get another. This isn't the best fast drying spray but it's not the worst so I will use it again and it is only 90p so you shouldn't really expect much.

This was 90p

Team Good Water Bottle- For school I always used to have a plastic water bottle but to save waste I thought I would get a reusable one. This isn't my favourite design but it's the only one they had so I thought I would get this for the time being then when I see a nicer design I will get that.

This was £3

That was everything that I got from Primark and I have been loving Primark loads recently and I have been making a lot of purchases from there, but luckily it's cheap so it's not too bad. 

Collective Haul | Primark, Victoria's Secret, Paperchase + More!

 Today I'm going to be doing another Collective Haul with some recent purchases. I'm now going on a stationery ban because I have way too much and I don't even use a lot of it so for I don't know how long I won't be able to buy stationery but there is some in this haul (I've only just put myself on this ban)

Firstly I wanted to get some pages for my A5 planner which was in my last collective haul and at first I didn't really like the Paperchase pages as there was no notes section but it never actually bothered me so I got some of the Filofax A5 Week On Two Pages Diary August 2016-July 2017 and these were hard to find but I found them in Ryman. I also bought some Filofax A5 White Ruled Notepad because the Paperchase planner didn't come with any notepaper and I needed some for my other sections. 

Recently I've been loving false nails so I picked up some more designs from Primark and they're not good quailty but I liked the designs. I picked up P.S Aztec 24 Fashion Nails and these ones are more pointy and sharp and I also bought P.S. Watermelon Design 24 Nails and P.S. Purple, Green, Pink Design Nails and these are more square but I don't know what version I like best. They all come with glue but the glue isn't very good.

I love the Victoria's Secret and Pink body mists so in one week I picked up 4 (not at the same time though) so from Victoria's Secret I picked up Pure Seduction (which is probably my new favourite) and Love Addict and these are full size. From Pink I bought miniatures of Sweet & Flirty and Wild At Heart as I wanted to try the scents but I didn't need 2 more full size body mists.  

In Paperchase I bought some stuff from their Spectrascope collection and I already had the rainbow A5 coloured card but I bought the Spectrascope Pastel A5 Card 100 Pack as I love pastels and the colours are so pretty and to go along with that I bought the Spectrascope 8 Washi Tapes- Pastel because the colours were pretty and I was going to get the rainbow colours but I thought I would use pastel more as pastels are my favourite colours. Also from Paperchase I did buy a storage box and it's the Wedding Floral Medium Box and I'm using this to keep my skincare in as it's the perfect size and looks nice on my dresser. 

Lastly from Primark I bought a new throw because I love Primark's throws as they are super soft and I like changing up the background in blog photos so you'll see my throw in action soon. This throw is just a simple Pink & White Throw but goes with my bedding really well.

Prices- 

 Filofax Diary- £10

Filofax Notepad- £3.25

False Nails- £1 each

Victoria's Secret Body Mists- 2 for £18

Victoria's Secret Pink Mini Body Mists- £7 each

Storage Box- £3.75

Pastel Card- £4

Washi Tape- £6

Throw- £5

That has been the stuff I've been buying recently and I really want to do a no-spend month challenge but that's going to be super hard for me but it would be good to save money as I'm the worst at saving money.

Collective Haul | Primark, Topshop, Paperchase + More

Today I'm going to be doing a Collective Haul because I've thought some things recently and as I really like them I thought I would share them with you. I know I've been doing a lot of hauls recently but it's been summer so I've been shopping and found some really nice things.

Primark has been the shop where I've bought the most as I got a new Blue, White & Tan Backpack because I did buy a backpack (from Primark) but it broke in less than a week so I got a new one and my sister actually has this backpack but I really liked it so I got my own. I then got a Playsuit because I only had 1 and this one was only £2. I then got a Grey & White T-Shirt because it was on sale and a good t-shirt to wear when I have nothing to wear. Lastly from Primark I got a Sleeveless Jacket because I have been changing my style and this is really nice and fashionable.

From Paperchase I got a new planner which I love and it's the Paperchase Make It Happen 2016/17 A5 Organiser which I love and I'm so glad I've made the switch from Personal to A5 as it's a lot better. Also as I've been reading a lot more I got a new book and this is Billy And Me by Giovanna Fletcher which I have actually read already and it was really good so I would recommend. Lastly from Waterstones I got My Future Listography as I love making lists and I will be doing be doing a review on it some time soon.

From Topshop I got some Skinny Dip White And Gold Headphones because my earphones broke and I had no way of listening to music personally. The only beauty things in this haul are both nails and I got some Elegant Touch Firm Hold Nail Glue because the Primark nail glue is rubbish and this is good and lastly I repurchased the Elegant Touch MsRosieBea Nails in Sweetpea and I love the design and they are sooo good quality. 

Prices-

Backpack- £9

Playsuit- £2 (was £5)

T-Shirt- £2 (was £4)

Sleeveless Jacket- £17

Planner- £10.25 (was £22 then on sale for £15.25 but I had £5 off)

Billy And Me- £7.99

My Future Listography- £11.99

Headphones- £25

Nail Glue- £2.95

Nails- £6.49

That was everything I got from recent shopping trips and I really like everything. I do have some more hauls coming up as omg I have done a lot of shopping which means hauls so I hope you don't mind but I do have other posts planned.
