PRIMARK: WHAT TO BUY & WHAT NOT TO BUY | Lucy Jessica Carter

[@libbyflannigan3513]

I feel so sorry for all of the people in America who don’t have the joys of going into primark and spending all of your money Like if you agree x lysm

[@livibailey1956]

There is a few primarks in the USA idiot

[@afloatingpineapple6170]

Livi Bailey We all know that but the ones in the UK are bigger and more developed hun x

[@emmaocarroll2831]

It’s called penny’s ***********

[@Sweetthingsbyamy]

so true! but they all love target? gunna have to see if they have a similar shop to primark when i next go

[@haileymunguia6769]

I've got a hat from Primark I bought in 2009.... Worn all winter, every winter - still working 😂

[@poppyt2682]

Mia Larby I’ve got a coat that I bought from primark at about that time too. It’s a little worn now but still looks pretty good. However, when I bought a coat from primark last year it looked a mess (pilled in some places and worn out in others) after about a month and a half. I was actually embarrassed to wear it it was that bad. Makes me think the quality has gone down.

It is called Penneys in Ireland 😂🍀☘️💚🇮🇪

[@rachy58]

Same here.... im so glad she mentioned it in this x

[@tracywaring5594]

If you put white vinegar on your top where ever you need to it gets rid of smells, works really well on men's white shirts too , stops discoloration and smells, in fact get yourself a book about vinegar as it's amazing , brightens colours , softens towels ,cleans loads of things ,trust me you won't be disappointed x

[@t.s1988]

agree

[@laurencoombecoombe6470]

I always buy those long sleeve tops to wear as a thermal type under my work polos ,I like them because if you roll your sleeves up they still seem to hold their shape which I like for £2.50 haha

[@sannahahmed7177]

Next time maybe let Claire make the video lol

[@josefineoijer]

I would also recommend Primarks panties because they are good value for money, heads up on the size though because depending on the model and the material it can look really weird 😂😘

[@bargainvlogshaulsuk7243]

Josefine Öijer I agree xx

[@arielsamdahl]

I actually have a different opinion on the thin sweaters and pajamas, I love them! Mine look just as good after a wash, and they seem to last a while as well 🤔 I agree on the majority of the rest, specially Primark underwear, they are amazing !

[@sankey1988]

I love primark but I'm all about m&s for PJs and bras. They're a bit pricey but I don't think the prices don't break the bank iykim. The jumpers from primark don't last me at all either

[@parissummer2182]

I've started buying my toddler clothes from m&s now he's not growing so fast, so much more expensive but so worth it! Washes well and doesn't go bobbly loose their shape. Completely agree with you 🤗

[@sankey1988]

@@parissummer2182 yes! Definitely worth it especially if you plan to more than one child. I have two boys and spend more on my eldest clothes so they can be passed down to the younger one. Whereas I only have one girl and I'm not so quick to spend much on her clothes as I don't have anyone to pass them to. I don't want to spend loads just give them to the charity shop a few months later. M&S is such excellent quality for women's clothes too. Everything I have has lasted years. Their leggings and tights are great quality too 😊 I don't find too many younger m&s fans anymore 🤣

[@catherines2544]

Yes I adore m&s. Such nice quality stuff and some of their more basic items are very affordable.

[@ilikealot315]

M&S underwear is brill

[@holliek8455]

[@sunshinemusic9876]

I'm going to Primark on friday so that's the perfect video right now 😍 I wanna recommend you a great song on spotify to add to your playlist: Benedict Ammann - Love ain't cheap

[@lisannevandeijk6551]

I really do love the candles from Primark, in my opinion the smell really stays even after relighting them but they might not cover a big room with the smell. Tho they don't burn equally which sometimes can end up in your candle not lighting up again while there's a lot left on the sides.

[@misskhan9128]

Omg I need to go get the leopard print bag

[@mounaburchett7121]

If you see it up close you might change your mind. It looks very pretty from a distance / on camera but in reality it just looks really cheap. I don't want to put you off buying it but it screams " I can't afford better quality so I got a cheap imitation". But by all means, get it if you're happy with how it looks. x

[@misskhan9128]

@@mounaburchett7121 I went into primark and I got the bag... Its nice and omg the primark PJ section is so good. Thanks for sharing this video Lucy

[@mounaburchett7121]

@@misskhan9128 i'm glad you like it :-) enjoy your purchase.

[@emmalcm]

That pink throw is amazing! Totlly agree with you on those cheap tops about the smell. I think it's because they usually contain a lot of polyester rather than cotton-makes you sweat much more or at least it does me. For t shirt type tops I definitely prefer to pay a bit more and get cotton. I also agree with you on the pyjamas-often don't last long, go bobbly and get holes in. I really like Asda PJs for reasonably priced ones, they wash and last well and they tend to have cute Disney ones etc x

[@bellasbuggybags1404]

I still have a jumper that I bought about 19 years ago from Primark and is still in good condition .

[@izzyxgrace2121]

I have a story about primark water bottles. So I bought this huge one and it actually made me drink a lot more water. So on this day my school bag was apparently reallyyyyy heavy so I dropped it when I got into maths and the whole bottom of the bottle smashes off and it was full and 2nd period. It was an actual nightmare and I am never buying a water bottle from primark again

[@brionilocke5099]

Poundland for phone chargers! I've had mine for 6+ months and hasn't broken at all yet!

[@Witchezcat]

Do be careful tho - seen too many warnings about pound shop chargers catching fire ! I got mine from Amazon - an Amazon branded one. It was a little dearer, but I do feel much safer leaving it charging overnight x

[@roisink3043]

Pound shop phone chargers broke my iPhone 6 battery and one of my android Tablets so I don't think there that good

[@brionilocke5099]

Roisin Kennedy Gill that’s a shame, I’ve been using it for my iPhone XS Max and it’s absolutely fine. You’ve got to expect the battery to become worse over time anyway so it’s probably the age of the phone rather than the charger.

[@brionilocke5099]

[@RoyaIIyRetarded]

take a shot every time she says “on trend”

[@ayeshas5091]

Katarvikitty as soon as I read this she said it😂

[@mounaburchett7121]

I used to spend over a hundred pounds in Primark every month without fail and now I completely stopped going there. Their garments are so poorly made, they fall apart after being worn a few times. And we're not even talking about discoloration and shrinking in the wash...etc, etc. A total waste of money. If you're on a budget, add a couple more quid and get a much better item from H&m. 99% of Primark stuff are disposable unfortunately. Perhaps it's good for fast fashion and it is inexpensive. However, if you go there often and spend a lot of money then it's not worth it because most things you purchase from there will end up in the bin very quickly. Just my opinion. A genuine one though!

[@ilikealot315]

Yes the quality of their stuff has declined so much in the past few years. I dont spend anywhere near the amount I used to either

[@savemebiatch109]

Yeah I agree the only things I buy are pyjamas and blankets . Occasionally I will be some home clothes but I never wear their products out of the house

[@morganjaggerss]

Big up your friend Claire

[@roshnierose6537]

My bank account can’t handle any more hauls but I’ve deffo gotta go back to primark and do another haul after this video!😩 that’s pink throw tho💕👌🏼

[@Rebekah10andNics]

I agree with the aesthetics of Primark candles however the fragrance is not as concentrated as the scent leads you to believe. I also think the selection of scents is quite poor but what can you expect when you're paying £3 I guess! P.S I love that pink hat!!

[@TheDotty82]

It seems like they spray the top of their candles with the scent and after its evaporated, it literally has no smell x

[@susanburns4630]

Cheap candles only have scented wax in the top inch the rest is just scentless that's why after awhile you can't smell it

[@MrsJolene-]

No. Absolutely not. Mine smell all the way to the bottom. Remeber you get used to the smell after a while. Just go outside for a walk and when you come back in you'll be amazed by the scent. That's how noses work.

[@jambo954]

I had to throw out a top the other day from primark due to the smell situation, theres no getting rid xx

[@rw6391]

George asda does lovely pjs,good quality as well x

[@mickeymouser123456]

I like the diffusers. But, like with all diffusers, you're supposed to turn the wooden sticks when you can't smell the scent anymore. I used mine until all liquid was evaporated.

[@emmaelizabeth2467]

Loved this video!!! I get the leggings for 3 pounds and I feel they are a good bargain!and for that price if they last a few months your ok! Off subject a bit but I was in homesense on Saturday near lakeside, I was walking past the area where all the lovely little dining chairs are, a lady was in there she bought the whole lot :0 were talking 12 or more, there was a lovely crushed velvet and dimonte cushion in there I thought to myself if you had seen that you would of picked it up quicker than anything! Double thumbs up from me for this video lots of love xx

[@tomgraham6812]

Primark candles are really nice as a decrotive item but I agree with Claire there smell disapears rather quickly and is nowhere near as strong smelling as Yankee or bath and body works candles; but they are ovbiously a cheaper fix if thats what you want. :)

[@deannayoung5311]

Oh my gosh I wish we had a primark here in the USA in California I love that throw 💞 oh my goodness that bag is adorable an the hat is gourg on yu so cute... Everything yu got is so great really And a very good price... Love the video Merry Christmas 🎄💝🤗

[@louisepriestley1011]

Omg, primark tight fitting tops and that smell!!! I never have a problem at all but like you say primark tops just have a smell about them that will never ever go!!! P.s I love pm candles, the Xmas ones at the moment smell amazing x

[@ayeshaa44]

louise priestley I see what you did there with the P.s

[@vickywilkinson5227]

your hair looks so nice. the first hat is a no but the second hat with the bow is so cute 😇

[@AmandaMakeUpAndMore]

Agreed!!

[@kaykay3964]

I agree in most of the items, the knickers, gosh NO, it's like wearing kiddy undies lol (but I do get the full size ones for you know monthly, but after couple of use they need to be thrown away, they start coming away) A NO NO to the diffusers, don't bother with them, you have to bring it up to your nose to smell anything! Love the second hat with bow, might have to get one! I do love the throw, it's so pretty but a bit too pricey for Primark, Primark now think they are high branded high street store lol and still no website... You are looking gorgeous as always! 😍

[@hnsccharlie4908]

Kay Kay i think those throws are pricey but you literally couldn’t get them cheaper, they’re really expensive to produce!

[@fionawilliamson9822]

There is no website because the price of a warehouse to stock all the stock they carry and for the demand would be so expensive. Plus a lot of primark stores would end up closing like every others high street store that has a online website you can buy from because people would just buy online. As for the prices going up, yes some items do cost more,that is the way retail works, but where else on the high street can you get a T-shirt for £1.80 or a top for £2, it still has its bargains.

[@charlottedyer1249]

Love it when she starts talking the cosy socks I am pulling on my Primark cosy socks!😂💖

[@x.t.12x19]

The cheapy grey basic top.. omg so right about the armpit smell.. when you iron over it..... EEEEEEEEEEE.YAKKKKKKK!! 😥😅😄🤣 XX

[@augustina492]

I have tried the primark £5 jogging bottoms and they are great until you put them in the wash, they start to bobbly up. Pretty much like the primark sweaters however I still wear them around the house :)

[@mrsfarrellforever]

I love he primark PJS I got some satin ones for holiday and they are so amazing they were the higher range I think. I also got Christmas PJs from the whole family two years ago just the normal tarten ones and they are still going strong. I have noticed the onesies aren’t as great. I absolute love the super cosy leggings they do ones that are fleece lined they are the ones I got however I did get them a few years ago. A few months later I got my mum some and they didn’t seem as good and I went back to get some the other day and they just didn’t feel the same. The nails from primark are amazing. I actually like them more the elegant touch the last few elegant touch ones I had were so flimsy. I don’t use the glue so I don’t know what that’s like I use one from pound world which is a brush on glue and is amazing. I love the underwear hate the bras. They don’t actually do my size, well they didn’t. They just loose there shape and aren’t comfy at all! I got some men’s boxers from there for my boyfriend they were the novelty ones so they were a little more but he loves them and says there the best boxers he has. Sorry no one probably cares what I think just kinda was kinda thinking what I loved from there.

[@PumpkinPatchBeauty]

I've heard that if you sweat on your t-shirt and it smells to put it in the freezer over night and it kills the bacteria and gets rid of the smell. Ovo still clean it after x

[@kerriedwards91]

Lucy, I know plug sockets aren't pretty.. but have you got your cushion over a plug socket that's turned on? That is a fire hazard surely?

[@lucymy_happy_little_home_1278]

I love that little hat with the bow on you looks so cute. The leggings I’ve found to go weird on the knees but haven’t bought for a while so may have improved now. Also love those gloves I’ll have to look out for them 💖

[@Becky-vb8fs]

I love your jumper and your hair look gorg. I really like Primark for trying trend items, those fluffy sock slipper things and the bedding sets but I really don't rate the underwear. Especially bras with the sizing and they're so uncomfortable and don't last long at all. If you can find a comfy pair some of the shoes are good value but others not great

[@jemmaj2919]

She's struggling to speak with her lip filers, they dont even look good, why ruin ur look with them?

[@absolutelegend197]

Lip fillers don’t limit your speech in any way lmao. Plus she looks hot nothing is ruined and they last like 6 months then go away. It’s not that deep it’s literally filler.

[@marygervasi2629]

I LOVE this kind of video! - Your hair and makeup are so great. - LOVE the pink in your room! - You know, I really despise Primark pants. They're either utterly massive in the legs, or they're bloody TINY. And they always seem to fade/rip easily. I prefer Tesco's boyshorts, they last aaaagesss. - I've purchased a total of two Primark candles and was so disappointed by them. The smell completely disappeared after one burning, and that wasn't even my olfactory sense getting used to the smell. It just became nonexistent. - I was going to get those cosy leggings, so glad I didn't now! - I love the second hat on you! The first one has a Mario Bros. vibe to it somehow! I'm a bigger chick and I find that a lot of Primark's tops and jumpers come up super short, even when they're my size. They're wider than they are long, haha. I think I might have to stop by Primark tomorrow and try those makeup wipes and that pegboard!

[@amyfraser9022]

As someone with bigger boobs, I wouldn’t recommend any tops, I’m actually a size 18 in their tops, and a 12 everywhere else. I wouldn’t bother with their tops at all though, because they only adjust the width and not the length, so I always end up with crop tops. So I’ve just given up.

[@elzopelzo638]
