Before most bigger purchases or trying a new brand I search Mumsnet. I start threads about things I want to buy, I read recommendations, I dip in and out of different sub forums.

What have you bought because of Mumsnet?

Soap

(I did shower before Blush but switched to soap after reading on MN about it's less pongy abilities Grin)

BonApp

Playa Blanca in Lanzarote and Puerto Pollensa.

I’d forgotten about my Mooncup too.

Dance which mascara was that? I had a Collection mascara a few years ago that was terrific but they discontinued it, I’d be interested in trying more of their mascaras.

Too many to mention.

Lets hope the advertisers are looking at this thread, then they can see what they'll lose, If they allow bullying tactics to work against MN.

Not much, my hush Tara dress and some salt water sliders.

I did buy also an elnett volumising spray, based on a thread which I now suspect was placed by a pr person. It was shite.

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 15/04/2018 16:02

Astral- and I love it. I'm sure there are others, I shall check my cupboards when I get home!

AskBasil · 15/04/2018 16:02
