AIBU to admit I was influenced into buying those popular products?

[Notasbigasithink]

Okay I'll go first....
Those Norwegian socks
Purdy and Fig (caught me on one of those bloody automatic subscriptions too so I paid twice!)
The singing cactus toy! (Although I still think its funny 😂)

If you can knit or crochet, get cotton yarn and make your own scrub mitts using the soap . A wee pocket, drawstring to close and hang . Even if you cant crochet and only learn the basic single crochet - easy peasy

Both my sister and I bought the abdominizer. I think those kicked around for another decade unused,

Dock & Bay towels for me. The kids’ ponchos are ok, but the towels are meh. Decathlon microfibre towels are amazing and about a third of the price.

also my friend and I both got duped by a ‘company’ called Aiden’s of Kildare whose prices were reassuringly expensive enough. Wouldn’t be so bad but the pair of us live on the island of Ireland so should’ve known better

Ididn't even know any of these were popular- sorry.

I’m so glad! I have bought the elevator from trinny after catching my neck in the mirror and thinking it looked for 64 than my 44. I’ve everything crossed for it to live up to the hype!

Omg I have the crimpet, got two kinds and put them in teen DC stockings last year - no one’s used them! I need to go and buy those tiny wraps to try then out!

Bloody love my air fryer though, we use it multiple times a day!

This is hilarious - like some kind of decapitated teddy bear and yet I am tempted to get one 😂

Tha ks for the suggestion. A bit advance for me. I can knit one pearl one....but don't!

@Cheeryochrecat thanks for the link. Going to look at the chocolate soap too.

@PorkPieForStarters done and purchased.

Just had to look up a Crimpet because I didn’t know what it was.

I have jeans and shorts. They are amazing

That heatless curl silky sausage shaped thing you wrap your hair around.

Doesnt work. Total shite. My hair looks a right state. No idea how people get results tbh

Successful buys: I’m rather enjoying the Nida moisturiser. Genuine Nordic socks are wonderful things. Nutrabullet is fairly well used. Miracle de Paris is pretty good as I am dreadful with fake tan. It does look a bit make up like on the first day but more natural after that.

Heatless curlers went in the bin. Glov micro needles too complicated.

My tymo air brush is in the post.

This needs to stop.

I have exactly this problem! Can’t quite bring myself to spend £800+ on sunglasses but, aaargh! Would you mind sharing a link to the Elton Johnifiers?

I have the over sunglasses and they are alright. I use them especially in the car. They won’t win any fashion awards but they are ok.

Can anyone give me a link for good Nordic socks please?

Has anyone bought this foundation?

Forgot to mention the Tymo brush. It was useless on my hair.

Do you remember those fabletics leggings advertised heavily during COVID. You paid £15 or something and you got some funky leggings but the small print signed you up to paying £15 a month for streamed exercise classes. I had forgotten all about it until I saw a news story recently about a woman who hadn't realised she'd subscribed to a monthly payment, had paid them thousands over the years and was now trying to sue them! Nice leggings though.

My daughter has a heatless curler...when she comes in the front room asking me to put her hair in it before bed I feel like crying

What? Why? It takes me less than 2 mins. And I’ve very long hair and use it most nights.

im a little confused the way people seem to be struggling with it, I don’t as said do it on my head as such, but I just sit it round the back of my neck, then wind my hair round the ends, I get up in the morning, shove a couple of big curlers in the top as I shower and get ready for the day, then brush it out and have soft bouncy curls.

It doesn't has no active ingredients it's rubbish

Oh no :(

My husband thought Hampton and Astley towels were the bees knees...I find them very heavy and a pain to dry. I much prefer Tesco towels

I used smol.for years, the only reason I'm not currently subscribed is I've got a backlog of little tablets and I like zoflora as well

I found the Gem & Tonic range to be an overpriced letdown sadly!
