Primark Haul

Monday, 30 June 2014

Hey Honeybees!

 It's time for another lovely Primark haul, Mr Honeybee wanted to have a nose in the men's section so I thought it would be rude for me not to have a look.

 This time I picked up some shoes, jewellery, a handbag and a coin purse, I can't wait to show you. 

 I'll start with the shoes that I bought, I bought three pairs. I picked up some Birkenstock style sandals, laced up plimsolls and slip on plimsolls.
Primark - |£4

 The Birkenstock style shoes pictured above cost me £4. They're blue and white in a flower print and I think they're really cute.
Primark - £4

 The shoes above are navy and white stripe slip on canvas shoes, they cost £4. I've not had this style before, I think they look really nice on.
Primark - £3

The last pair of shoes I bought are navy and white lace up shoes with flowers on. They only cost £3 and I know they'll be comfy as I have two other pairs in different patterns and colour. 
Primark - £4

 Moving onto jewellery I got two necklaces. the first one above, has a gold chain with five flowers. There's three royal blue flowers with a diamanté in the middle and green stones round the outside and two turquoise flowers with lighter green stones round the outside. This one was only £4 and it really looks nice on.
Primark - £4

 My second necklace is also five flowers in a bronze metal and pale pink colour and it cost £4.
Primark - £1

 I only got one ring this time and it only cost £1. It's gold with a white pearl in the middle and diamanté round the outside in a circle. 
Primark - £3

 The last bit of jewellery I picked up is a stretch Boho bracelet. It's silver with blue stones in, it has a lot of pretty detail. This was a bargain at £3.
Primark - £8

 My favourite purchase this trip to Primark has to be this bright yellow twist lock pocket bag. The photo doesn't really show what a lovely bright colour it is. This also comes in black, pastel blue and pastel pink, it's priced at £8 and it's totally worth it. It has a strap and two handles with a twist pocket at the front. The main compartment has a zip with one zip pocket inside.
Primark - £2
Last but not least I bought this super cute French bulldog coin purse, this is priced at just two English pounds.  

 That is all for this Primark haul, I hope you like it, if you do please follow me and maybe leave a comment telling me what you have bought from Primark. You can also leave me a link to your blog if you have done a post on a Primark haul.

Supermarket Finds

Monday, 9 June 2014

Hey Honeybees!


Supermarkets sell everything these days from clothes to make-up and often it's cheaper than drug stores and department stores. I thought I'd show you some of the things I picked up recently. 

In my last blog I told you about the travel set I got from boots, well, the next day I discovered a similar set in Aldi for £6.99.


Aldi - £6.99


It's a bit different to the boots set, with this you get four bags instead of three, these are patterned and the boots ones are just clear. 
So now I have plenty of bags for plenty of make-up, I always spot something cheaper the day after I've bought something. 

I had to buy two new shampoo's, everything runs out at the same time. One shampoo is for my Mum's house and one is for Mr Honeybees house. For my house I got Dove hair therapy. 


Tesco - £2.69


This one is a damage solution intensive repair shampoo and I really like it. It smells bloody gorgeous, It smells like strawberries to me and it lathers your hair really well. I find a lot of shampoos don't lather these days and those ones tend to make my hair greasy. I paid £2.69 at Tesco and I just checked the website and it's BOGOF at the moment.

The second shampoo I got from Tesco is the Garnier Ultimate blends shampoo.


Tesco - £2.79


This is a shine revitaliser in a lemon and green tea fragrance. I haven't tried this yet but it smells really nice, I love anything lemon or citrus smelling. This one cost me £2.79, they do others in this range so there should be one for your hair type.

Last but not least I got a new nail polish from the Maybeline color show range.


Tesco - £2.99


I got the street artist top coat this time for £2.99 it's a lilac and silver sort of glitter. 

They're my recent finds from the supermarket. What have you picked up from a supermarket that perhaps you didn't expect to find? Let me know in the comments.

Yours clothing & Ebay purchases

Tuesday, 3 June 2014

Hey Honeybees!


Ebay is a little treasure trove of goodies, you can buy anything on there from clothing to sprouts. I quite often find myself on there looking for a bargain or if I spot something on an other website that I want I always check on Ebay to see if I can get it cheaper.

This month I've bought a few things on Ebay such as leggings, shoes and  foot care products.

I'll start with the leggings, I bought these off Ebay but they are made by Yours clothing.

Look how thoughtful I am here, I could totally be a plus size model. This is my Oh look there's a squirrel, pose.


They are blue & black abstract print in full length and they cost me £15 on Ebay but they are also the same price on the Yours clothing website or two pairs for £20. http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/P/Black_and_blue_printed_leggings-(17748).aspx

Yours clothing- £15


I'm not usually a fan of patterned trousers, I'm a bit fussy on patterned tops as well. These leggings look really nice on though and they are a decent thickness. I think it's best to wear them with a plain colour top, unless you're doing this pattern and pattern trend that's going on. 

My next purchase from Ebay is a pair of ballerina flat shoes. They're called Dolly Flower canvas bow shoes to be precise, and the cost £8.99 plus P&P £2.99.




Ebay- £8.99  P&P £2.99


These are so comfy, I have to be careful with shoes as my heels are really sensitive with thin skin, so hard back shoes really cut them. These don't do that, they don't rub at all and they are really light on your feet. I got the more blue ones but they do come in more lilac to. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Ladies-Flat-Ballerina-Pumps-Womens-Ballet-Dolly-Flower-Canvas-Bow-Shoes-Size-/261251606629?pt=UK_Women_s_Shoes&var=&hash=item3cd3cf2865

Finally I bought something for my hard skin on my heals (lovely I know). I got the Scholl Professional Express Pedi, I paid £24.75 with free P&P which it at least £5 cheaper than anywhere else.

Ebay- £25.99

This is so much easier than using my own manpower with one of those handheld foot files. I have quite thick skin on my heal but this gets through it quite quick and it's also really gentle on the skin. 

I'd love to know any bargains you have picked up on Ebay. Is there anything you would recommend? Leave a comment and let me know.

If you enjoyed this post please follow my blog you can do that in many ways at the top right hand panel of this blog or in the link below..

Primark Accessories Haul

Tuesday, 13 May 2014

Hey Honeybees


Here it is, the Primark accessories haul I promised you in my last post. Handbags and shoes are most girls best friends so I thought I'd get myself some new friends when I popped in to my local store.

I'll begin with the shoes, I picked up a pair of Plimsolls and some Birkenstock style sandals. 




The Birkenstock copy's were the first thing I spotted. I liked the colour, they're in a nude/tan sort of colour and the buckles are also this colour. I think they would go perfect with any summer outfit as they are so neautral. The price of £6 is amazing, especially if you compare it to the price of Birkenstocks.




I then had a look at the plimsolls section as I had bought a pair in pink and grey leopard print previously and wanted to see if they had any others in a different print. I found some in white, coral and grey with an Aztec print. These were an absolute bargain at just £3 and they are so comfortable to wear.


Primark- £3



I also bought a couple of handbags, one for each shoulder, which is normal right?



The first one is a satchel style bag in pale pink stripes. It has a main pocket with a zip up pocket in the back and a front pocket with a see through part on the front.  I guess you could put a photo in there but i think I'll keep mine empty. I also realised when I got home I already have one except its black and white, I guess I really like this bag. Primark charge £9 for this bag which I think is pretty standard for their bags.

Primark- £9




The other bag is a powder blue shoulder bag. It looks like it has been weaved and has a silver twist-lock. Inside there is one pocket with a zip pocket in the bag. It's quite a flat bag so it isn't meant to be used as a Mary Poppin's style bag. This one is priced at £8 which is good considering the detail. I love it but my Other Half Mr Honeybee says it looks like a Margaret Thatcher bag, men!
Primark-£8

Finally, I got some new Jim-jams, one matching set and two pairs of bottoms. 
The matching pair are unicorn themed Pj's, they are pink, white and turquoise with black and silver ribbon to hold the bottoms up.The top is pale pink with a unicorn and clouds on and the writing says "Be yourself and if you cant be yourself then be a unicorn". The bottoms are turquoise with lots of lovely Unicorns on and at the bottom they are elasticated. The top is £4 and the bottoms are £5.



Primark- £4


Primark- £5


You can't have too many Jim jam bottoms so I got two pairs. The first pair are turquoise with hot air balloons on they are in a legging style and they are elasticated at the bottom. They also have pockets, I don't know what for, tissues maybe. 
Then the other pair are white and peach with boats printed on, some the right way up some upside down, perhaps they're sinking. Again they are leggings with an elasticated bottoms. The balloon ones cost £5 and the boat ones are £6 I think. 




Primark-£5 & £6





I know this has been a long blog so if you got to the end well done.

Primark Jewellery Haul

Thursday, 8 May 2014

Hey Honeybees!


Last weekend I took a trip To Primark for a good old nosey. Now I can't buy clothes from Primark as they don't do my size, which is really annoying. They do up to size 18-20 which is better than most shops which only go up to size 16 but I think Primark are missing a trick not catering for us bigger girls. Big girls like cheap clothes to Primark, get it sorted will you.

What I do get from Primark is accessories and last weekend I picked up quite a few. I'm going to show you what jewellery finds I got in this post and then the rest of my purchases like bags, shoes etc will go in another post.

Lets start with earrings, I bought three pairs, one pair of diamanté bow studs. one silver leaf shaped drop earrings and one pair in gold and pink drop earrings.

Primark- £1
Primark- £1.50
Primark- £1.50


I saw the bow earrings on a YouTube channel called Zoella /www.youtube.com/user/zoella280390 she also has a blog www.zoella.co.uk/. When I saw them I knew I had to track them down. They are quite a large stud and are perfect to go with any outfit, day or evening wear. For the price of £1 why not treat yourself.

 The silver drop earrings priced at just £1.50 are really pretty. They are shaped like a leaf with two pearl like stones on each, one larger than the other. The silver pattern is really detailed and they are light weight to wear.

 The last pair I bought are gold with stones in peach, diamanté and pink in a tear-drop shape. These caught my attention because of the colour I think they're perfect for summer.

 Whilst in the jewellery section I also picked up a couple of statement necklaces.
Primark- £4
Primark-£6


The first necklace priced at £4 is a chunky gold metal. It has bright pink stones and some turquoise running through it. It's quite heavy so it might annoy some people plus some might think it's a bit chavvy but I think it's pretty and would go with a lot of summer outfits. 

The other is a more delicate necklace. It's in pastel shades of pink, blue white and a bronze colour. The stones are set in a half flower shape which is really pretty.This was slightly dearer at £6 but still a bargain anyway.

So, there you go that's all the jewellery I got, what do you think? Will you be nipping to Primark to buy any of these goodies?  Let me know if you think this is a good thing to blog about, as you know Primark don't have an on-line shop so posts like this give you a chance to see what they have got before you go into store.

Please post any comments or questions you have below and if you liked this post please share because sharing is caring. Also if you haven't already please follow my blog.
