What are your hit and miss buys off Instagram? Or is it just me that’s gullible 😀

[EachandEveryone]

Misses- Tallow and Ash perfume laundry liquid. I was completely taken in by that one and I just hope I haven’t set up
a subscription, The smells sounded divine but in reality there is only a faint one that fades very quickly, and the wash power isn’t as good as regular detergent at all.
Lemonade Dolls the less said the better I’m just not an inclusive person I guess. Products gorgeous though.

Hits cube packing bags that are slightly vacuum have been a game changer.
Oat Pantry over night oats have converted me and I do feel abit healthier 😀.
Valentte diffusers last forever and beautiful scents.

i do really need to reign myself in though. Anyone else buy because of Instagram?

Oh that sounds interesting

Miss:
Purdy & Figg, utter crap
UK Lash, no noticeable effect at all
Lola's (magnetic) Lashes, completely useless as was their Customer Service

Hit:
Valentte, fab products, value and service

I was considering Champo and a few other things and I'm so glad I've read this thread!
Also a bit sick of all these companies wanting you to sign up to a subscription, yes I know they say you can cancel but I wonder how much of their trade is based on people forgetting to cancel.

Miss - Lemonade Dolls. I’ve only got tiny tits and they still can’t hold them in place. Useless and not even comfy.

Hit - PomPom London bag. Not revolutionary but a very nice bag, lots of handy pockets and the crossbody strap is comfy and adjustable to where I want it. Being rather short I’ve had trouble getting it right before.

Hit - Sweed lash serum. I wanted one without prostaglandins as I look like a raccoon at the best of times anyway. Took a good 6 weeks but my lashes are noticeably longer.

I’m awful tempted by the HelloKlean shower filter because our water is basically liquid limescale and I do notice a difference when I go somewhere with softer water. Anyone succumbed to the advertising and can tell me if it’s a total con?

Oh, I've wondered about a Lemonade Dols as I have small boobs (despite my username). Maybe I'll give them a swerve then.

What's this, is it the Phillips one?

Hit Sassy Saints nail kit, love it! Pretty easy to do and lasts 2-3 weeks

Hit - backpack from Stubble & co bought on Black Friday. Waterproof. DS loves it and thinks it’s the best school bag/travel backpack ever. Was pricy but I think it will last years.

Miss - NotedAroma, I bought some sample sizes a couple of weeks ago. The sprays don’t work and the scents don’t really last.

I bought the Sweed lash serum on the back of Sali Hughes’s recommendation. Will actually start using now.
Also if you have room for a water softener apparatus, I would recommend installing one. We’re in the south east and the water is hard as hell.

Also bought a Stubble&Co backpack for my sonIL. He loves it.

Does anyone have a trtl travel pillow? They keep catching my eye.

Yes. I don’t love it though I need to give it another go. It does hold your head more upright but dug into my ear

I got a trtl pillow version from Temu. It helped on a 6 hour easyJet flight, not used when the seat reclines in my experience.

I’ve just bought a years supply of Eco washing up sponges as seen on Dragons Den 😀😀

Is this Seep? I like them, they last well and I worry less once they start to disintegrate than I did about scrub daddy which seemed to leave a trail of microplastic in its wake.

Why would anyone buy something off Instagram!?

I'm baffled. It's too easy to get scammed.

Thousands of legitimate companies advertise their wares on instagram.

I’ve just reordered the Vallenette diffusers I’m glad to see that they are doing well.

47 skin - an oatmeal skin thing for rosecea didn’t do anything.
cant remember the brand - but stick on nails I didn’t use but the definitely didn’t look worth the money
skin tag remover - it was a complete fail and waste of money
tempted by ilmakiage and trinny but I won’t cave now!

Has anyone tried the magnesium butter that allegedly you put on your feet and it helps you sleep and generally feel better?!

Hit
Grace & Stella energising eye masks - several of my friends have now bought these and also love them
Valence - love everything I’ve had so far

want to love
tallow* *& ash - love the variety of fragrance, don’t think it lasted long but wonder if it’s the smell and others are better. I tried oud

Nearly bought
ffern - been on the fence with this one, after this thread still not sure

I love ffern

Has anyone tried one of those Dyson hair wrap knock offs? I think my daughter might like one but I’m wary!

Fails:
AirWrap knock off - did nothing, super weak air flow, no curls. Straight to bin.
Happy Mammoth, got several supplements, no difference whatsoever.

But love Wonderblading lip stain, I have it in 6 shades now and use daily.

I’m addicted to those Fresh Wipes but I can’t get in the shower at the moment so I have needed them.

the Vallenette diffusers are fab but their room sprays are very weak

Do love ffern but went from joining the waiting list to doorstep delivery in about 5 days - feels like a bit of a gimmick. Not complaining about the perfume - it is gorgeous but the marketing is a bit suspect!
