What has mumsnet MADE you buy?

So when my almost one year old was a tiny newborn and I was up at ungodly hours I found myself on a thread which was something along the lines of what has mumsnet MADE you buy.

A load of people said a Eufy so I obviously brought one in my sleep deprived state. 😂 No regrets though!

So I thought I’d make another thread inspired by it to see if there’s anything else I should be buying!

Steam mop. It was rubbish.

Allmarbleslost · 22/07/2022 12:59

So much stuff over the years. Everything from the mumsnet scarf to make up to household appliances.

The pillow talk lipstick that suited everyone - was boring
Cerave face wash - love that.

Loads! Mainly S&B products. Lumea was probably the most expensive but so worth it.

Coastalcreeksider · 22/07/2022 13:08

This week, L'Oréal Dream Lengths Wonder Water to see if it would improve my nightmare hair.

Used it yesterday and it did definitely seem to make a difference.

Time will tell though ...

Iwanttenofthose · 22/07/2022 13:08

Quite a few bits from the S&B board.

Most recently the Milani rose "transformational" lip balm which was a complete dud.

Most successfully, Korean exfoliating washcloths.

Airfryer

I’m so tempted to buy one. Can you do more than one thing in the draw or do you have to buy the air fryer with two draws?

I don’t know what that is! Off to google it. 😬

Heated drying thing and a steam mop. Steam mop has since died and the heated drier makes an appearance in the winter.
Christmas marzipan cakes from Lidl. We all love them.

Last year when I was struggling to breastfeed in the heat, the menopausal mums were going on about neck fans that blow cold air in your face. Game changer!

CantaloupeMelon · 22/07/2022 13:13

The Lumea for me too. I ended up giving it away!

TheYearOfSmallThings · 22/07/2022 13:14

Several Aldi skin products, none of which was good.

MaggieFS · 22/07/2022 13:15

Lots of things from IKEA!

TeaMeBasil · 22/07/2022 13:16

Most recently, Milkshake Leave In Conditioner- and very glad I got it as it works very well and smells lovely!

Thank you the poster who recommended it!! 😁

Korean washing mitts, don't work for me.

Stupidly the water spraying poo brush. Totally fell for the clearly an ad thread. Leaked all over the bathroom floor.

Olaplex, no regrets, my hair loves it.

Savedbythebell25 · 22/07/2022 13:19

Hairdryer brush and a Vileda spray mop. Love both of them!

JaneJeffer · 22/07/2022 13:20

Lots of S&B things which were all useless. Off the top of my head:
Blanx toothpaste
Boots curl crème
Various hair conditioners
Foot file and those other scrubby things
Hush clothes - terrible quality
and many more!

Garysparrowsthirdwife · 22/07/2022 13:44

Rosehip oil
a flannel that gets rid of dead skin
bits of jewellery from different sites
chub rub shorts/cream

Floydthebarber · 22/07/2022 13:47

Korean Italy wash cloths. They are good, especially on my feet in the bath.

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 22/07/2022 13:48

Some bits from Lisa Angel.

MrsRobinsonsHandprints · 22/07/2022 13:52

I've just bought a Korean wash cloth from reading this thread BUT when I opened this thread I knew the OP would say Eufy. I can't decide if they are really good or the advertising team have lots of MN names.

A Beauty advent calendar which in turn led to me getting a handle on my skin care and buying lots more things...

Snag tights, which are shite.
