Have you ever bought something because of a FB ad?

Easy flow sticks....yes or no? 🤔☺️

Hi, has anyone bought any easy flow sticks? And are they any good?

Two buys, both total waste of time and money. One was a "cotton rich" top for £11 that looked great on the model but turned out to be shapeless and made from what felt like swimming costume material.
Then I bought some snow boots for about £30 and wore them in the snow last week - got wet feet within five minutes. Can't remember the brands.

Same!

A few things and luckily haven’t had anything naff yet. I’ve also bought from TikTok shop as well. One of my best ever purchases was a small suitcase which had been designed to fit under your chair, all you need to do is pop off the wheels and put them in your pocket/in the suitcase. It easily carried enough for my 4 night break. It meant that I didn’t have to pay for a cabin bag which was ideal. It was £26 including postage!

I almost bought stuff for a boo box then thought NO, I don’t want or need this.

FB is very clever at targeting you even down to showing you stuff you’re interested in at the exact time you’re most likely to purchase it

What?! I think they're great! They last for ages. Which one did you get? The bamboo one is a bit nicer than the other one.

Loop earplugs. Love them.

I bought a huge box of 'Who gives a crap' environmentally friendly loo roll. It was rubbish, but the box gave the delivery driver a good laugh.

Yes!
Adjustable tables. They were not as flexible as the add made them out to be.
I do think a lot of the ads are scams.
I saw one that was about ND friendly DBT skills booklets. Cost £15, and it was for 2 booklets, and 37 other e-books. Only one book turned up in my inbox, and it was just ripped off from the genuine seller from Etsy, who was charging less than £4 anyway.

Don't trust them.

I would actively avoid something on a fb add. They don’t check their companies who advertise.

I have Pro Blow rollers. They are excellent. They took ages to arrive though so for a while I thought it might have been a scam

Yes, a few times, with varying results. Seaweed shampoo, LED rechargeable lights, swimsuits, bras... it's annoying when the company turns out to be from USA and delivery/customs is high.

I bought a dress that kept appearing on my FB feed, from a company I'd never heard of before. It's lovely and I wore it to DD's graduation.

Absolutely. In fact tailored ads for products, and more importantly, events, I might be interested in is one of the main reasons I use FB. I have found out about lots of small events this way and bought tickets, as well as been introduced to brands I now like.

I buy shoes on fb which are the only ones which give me arch support and can accommodate my very problem feet, and which I can't find anywhere else

What brand are they please @Abracadabra12345 ?

I was about to say Must Have Ideas. We had to return an item and the customer service was fast and superb. The products are always good, I love our little scraper and a contraption that magically breaks the vacuum on impossible-to-open, vacuum sealed jars. I use it as my party piece!

Facebook is a professional advertising medium. We are a £40m co and advertise on Facebook. If it reaches the right audience, we'll use it.

Yes, just bought my Xmas tree from someone on the village FB page.

Almost never, but I saw one for Turn Me Royal yesterday and it made me laugh so I ended up ordering from them (only after googling the company and checking Trustpilot reviews to check it was legit though).

Never. And that goes double for anything advertised on YouTube.

Must Have Ideas are fine; great customer service. I bought some belts which took ages to arrive from China but have lasted really well. Feeling reasonably confident based on this I ordered Vera Underwear and it never arrived; the customer service email does not exist. On checking Trustpilot I see this is a scam and many people have received nothing or a load of rubbish that bears no resemblance to the ads. Lesson learned - do your research first!

Yep … only yesterday I ordered the “Guinness Book of Records, Gamers Edition” for Gamer DD (but I’ll love it as well)

They always look brilliant don't they.

I have bought some Ninepine Relaxed Asana straight pants, and they are brilliant. I then got a discount code from them and bought another pair.

They were expensive but really worth the money. The bonus being that they are actually long enough for me as well as being supremely comfortable.

Oh yes, me too with the Laura mercier foundation and also il makiage foundation. To be fair I really liked both but haven’t spent out on il makiage again. Laura mercier is still going, a touch dark in shade though but very handy for a super quick brush over.
