I work at Primark and here’s five items you NEED to nab – I swear by the £4.50 primer dupe & the £3 bra is great quality
A PRIMARK employee has revealed the five items you need to add to your shopping list.
From the £4.50 Bobbi Brown dupe primer, to the new Kappa buys that you won’t want to miss.
Posting on social media, Heather, who is known as Hev and is a ‘local celeb’ in the Greenhithe area, shared the Primark buys she loves, leaving many open-mouthed.
Hev, who works in Primark at the Bluewater shopping center in Dartford, explained: “My name’s Hev, I work at Primark Bluewater – I’m gonna show you my top five picks of the week from Primark.”
Hev revealed that when it comes to make-up, beauty fans need to stock up on the Bobbi Brown primer dupe.
With the original costing a whopping £54, if you fancy saving £49.50, this is one for you.
She beamed: “Right, I swear by this primer, it’s only £4.50 and it is really, really good and I thoroughly recommend it!
“It’s a dupe of something, but it is a quarter of the price and it is just as good.”
Next, Hev explained that if you’re looking for new underwear, the t-shirt bras should not be overlooked.
She said: “My second top pick is the t-shirt bras. They are only £3 and very good value for money, very good quality, thoroughly recommended!”
For those wanting a staple pair of trousers that can be worn to the gym, or for daily use, Hev swore by Primark’s black workout leggings.
Holding up the cheap buy, she explained: “I absolutely love the workout section.
“I normally wear these to work and I wear them to the gym, if I go, but I absolutely love these and they are very, very good value for money.”
Calling all jewellery fans, as Hev also praised the much-loved chain’s earrings.
Primark's best buys for Autumn
Heading into Primark soon? Keep an eye out for these items.
Here, Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals her top 6 buys from Primark this Autumn.
Coat, £60
I know what you’re thinking, ‘£60 for Primark?’ Yes it’s a higher price tag than we’re used to from Primark but its worth every penny.
It’s from their Edit range which is more premium than the rest of their collection and it’s made to last.
It’s a mixed wool blend which is durable and warm, plus its a timeless straight silhouette which is slightly oversized and will last you not only this season but for many after.
Bag, £16
Big bags are back… In a big way, finally.
This tote screams luxury with its croc effect and burnt orange colour, plus its great for shoving in your laptop, lunch, spare shoes, purse – essentially everything you need for the day – all for £16.
Jacket, £32
Field jackets are on the backs of celebrities and catwalk models this season with designer brands Barbour, Burberry and Bottega all championing the utilitarian look.
They’re great for chucking over jeans or contrasting with a floral or floaty dress and are the perfect transitional jacket.
Dress, £18,
You may have seen, heard and read that leopard print isn’t going anywhere for autumn, so to encapsulate the trend this dress is a must.
Sleeves? Check. Midi length? Check. Ultra flattering square neck? Check. It’s got it all.
Pair with black knee high boots or your favourite trainers for the day and dress up with gold heels and accessories for the evening.
Jeans, £16
Barrel, balloon, horseshoe – whatever you want to call them, they are the must have trouser shape of this season.
I’ve tried Primarks pair and they fit like a dream, are comfortable and flattering.
So if you think you have nothing that hits the trend mark, swapping your go-to denim for this shape will bring you bang up to date.
Boots, £24
It’s boot season and instead of feeling like you need to buy one in every colour, length, height – its best to stick to a pair that you can wear with the majority of your wardrobe.
My jaw almost hit the floor when I saw that this black, knee-high, block heel with flat point and side zip (so there’s no tug of war to get them off at the end of the day) was only £24.
If you buy one thing this season, it should be these.
She shared: “I love the earring section in Primark, I’ll get all my earrings from here.
“I buy about two packets a week and I absolutely love them, my faves!”
