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?

Miss - magnetic lashes, can’t remember what brand, possibly Lola’s lashes, but couldn’t get them to sit on the lash line like stick on lashes.

Hit - Halal collagen powder (sunnasupplements)

sort of hit - neom mini pod, love neom and like the pod but the buzzing is annoying, ended up getting another diffuser from John Lewis own brand range.

Ive had loads off good stuff off TikTok shop though, lovely charm bracelet sets for birthday gifts, loads of cheap summer outfits, not proper cotton but good enough for the 7 days of sun we get in the UK.

Also RELR (Emily Lucy Rajch) bodysuits, I bought them through the website but found them through Instagram.
They are a bit on the expensive side but a good investment, long in the body (with extenders available) and double lined so they hold you in, Ive had mine since shop first opened and they are still going strong!
(if you sign up for emails there are quite often discount codes)

Second the O Keefes range, but the one in the tube not the tub (the tub one feels more like a body butter but it’s a bit greasy and doesn’t sink in well)

Has anyone tried the estrid razors - currently all over my feed!

miss:

halara trousers - I knew they would be horrible but the advertising really wore me down and I caved to try them. Really horrible, can’t understand people loving them at all. Cheap and nasty fabric.

Smol dishwasher tablets - as a PP said, they just didn’t clean the dishes at all

magnetic eyelashes - not sure if they were crap or I am but I could attach them at all

il makiage - didn’t mind the texture but they couldn’t match my colour, tried 3 times

merwave - probably me rather than the product but what a faff. Can’t be bothered spending all that time and when I did it didn’t really work.

hits:

tubing mascara
dock and bay towels
Shapewear
Snag tights

my favourite recent purchase has been some dupes of Aesop and Byredo hand washes and shower gels, can’t remember the name just now but I will find it and repost

I bought ffern back in 2020 before I even had an instagram account and I love it.

like valentte but not enough to repurchase

@FinnalyCrackedwould love to know where you got your wax melts too please

I love my Forgotten Tribes harem pants. They’re a really light material so not too hot if it’s sunny, dry off quickly if it’s wet. I have 2 different patterns and they style really nicely with a vest top or cropped jumper.

posh dupe shower gels - smell gorgeous

Now realising I’m influenced by people talking about influence 😂😂
so many things to investigate

For those who like the tubing mascara, No7 do one that’s good, it’s in a goldy beige tube (and usually always on a 3 for 2)

Jewellery has been good as someone else mentioned.
Solace earrings, Bohomoon & Nominal - all wearable in shower etc without tarnishing and reasonably priced.

I love Laura Geller too. Looks really natural and can easily layer for more coverage.

I bought the plastic twisty thing that makes flowers splay out and look gorgeous in a vase.
Reality: holes are too tiny for most flower stems, it’s hard to twist and falls apart, stems stick out and it’s impossible to fit them in a vase.
total waste of money.

Oh yes please thank you 😀

Estrid razors are good

@PotatoBreadForTheWin - as so many people have asked, I use this shop on Etsy: https://battlefragrance.etsy.com

Most recent purchase was the 20 pack of hearts and I got Bundle 1. Strongly recommend Summer Escape as it's incredible! It genuinely smells like plum and tonka bean! I've just noticed the seller now does a Raspberry Daiquiri wax melt...I know what I'll be buying next 😍

Definitely trying these!

Has anyone used Ogee - big following and a bit pricey but looks good. Thanks.

Anybody ought the Wander+ travel pillows. My feed is inundated with them.
And the shampoo and conditioner bars in a box (unsure of the brand)
We've just come back from a 2 week holiday and my iPad seems to know this and is throwing every conceivable travel product at me.

Still waiting on delivery of my Halara shorts.

Sparkly jeans, what on earth possessed me I don’t know they are hideous !

Halara has been a mixed experience for me, some stuff is really hideous plasticy material, but some other items I have in several colours.

I bought an Estrid razor on the back of this thread! Really good, and I actually bothered to shave my legs which I rarely do.

Oo I'm pleased this thread was resurrected. Hits for me have been the Mould Magic Gel, Halara wide leg jeans, UK Lash and Laura Geller baked foundation.

A big Miss is the Snackverse subscription. It's a great idea and we enjoyed the snacks but it was poor value for money and I had to chase up the next box a couple of times.

I'm awaiting my Firmoo glasses, fingers crossed they're ok!

Halara shorts arrived.

I hate shorts with a waist band and a zip and button. They feel so constricting round my middle.
Im usually a 14-16 and im 5’8” with long legs. I also have a bit of a tummy.
I bought the L and in the longer length.

I absolutely love them. So comfy so I'm ordering some more.

Great buy!

Still waiting for my Halara

I waited just over 2 weeks for mine
