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 😂)

I bought a spiralizer as I grow courgettes. Unfortunately the bloody things hide and grow to gigantic proportions and they don't fit on it. Teaspoon for scale.

I seem to be the only fan of my Il Makiage foundation - I'm very pale and it's the best colour match and finish I have ever used. Only now on my second bottle, first one lasted over a year (don't tend to wear make up during the week).
I bought Valentte and they were nice, but not as good as Aldi Hotel Collection, which are much cheaper.
Crimpit I bought off Vinted, used once, resold. I think they'll be recirculating round the country forever.

I have a spirilizer and I do use it (it's an attachment to my thermomix, which I also use daily).
Steam cleaner/mop thing (I've got an older Vax model that I also use).
Purdy and Figg - smelled nice. I stopped the sub and am using these all up.
Robovac - I LOVE!! I've got Eufy ones (for upstairs and downstairs). They mop and hoover the floors twice a day. I'm tempted to put a few drops of the purdy and fig into them to see if that will make a difference (both Eufy models are past their warranties now).
Air fryer - bloody love this and we use it more than the oven. VERY handy for the kids to use.
Weighted hula hoop thing, my DD loves using this!

Does anyone remember those stupid "sauna" legging things that you wear whilst exercising to apparently lose weight/cellulite/whatever fast? Yup, I was stupid enough to get a pair of those leggings years back!

I've not tried the Valente candles, the Halara stuff, Nordic socks, Smol, The Crap Toilet Roll, Crimpit (I do have a Salter sandwich toaster that has plates for cafe press, waffles etc - used occasionally), Seaweed shampoo, collagen (maybe I should?). Don't know what Bird and Blend or Barnaby Bars are.

Has anyone tried that Polar Hair colour stuff? I DREAM of a purple hair colour that is easy to use, covers bloody greys without me having to prelighten (my dark but greying hair) first! I think that would be the unicorn of hair dye for me!

I bought that stupid twisting board that’s meant to give you a trim waist. So embarrassed to have bought something so stupid and have never used it

Laura Geller Foundation - I’m very pale, the foundation is amazing. Had lots of compliments.
AirFryer - Used daily
Weighted Hula Hoop - Still can’t Hula Hoop.
Mounjaro - Lost nearly 7 stone
Scamp & Dude - So far, love everything I’ve bought
Ancient & Brave Collagen - No change
Satin Hair Bonnet - Amazing, no frizz and defined curls.
Steam Mop - Rubbish

YSL Touche Eclat - rubbish and made no difference to the dark circles under my eyes. Expensive mistake. Used it up and felt like cheering when I finished it.

Zoflora has been around for a lot longer than Mrs Hinch.

I’m early 50’s and DM used to use this when I was a kid, just looking at the bottle still makes me nauseous.
It’s been around since the 1920’s!

"Why I thought I'd be spending my evenings carpet scraping I don't know." 😂😂 😂😂
@HiCandles

Haven't RTFT so apologies if someone has already posted. I have mine from here. Two sets (Svea and Ida) and they've been amazing. I do treat them nicely though - wool wash on cool every time. I'm going to try some of the hiking socks next. I think you have to not mind the feeling of wool next to your skin though. https://www.nordicsocks.uk/collections/wool-socks-1

But beware - there are some other vendors with similar names, who sell absolute crap. Eg Nordic Wool, Norwegian Wool etc

I think the scrunchy bum shorts shown are the wrong ones. Everyone on Instagram is raving about the longer ones with built in cycling shorts that make your thighs look thinner.

I brought these and they are good!!

We also have the singing cactus! It has brought the household much joy over the years. 😄

I've fallen for Zing toothpaste (made my teeth so agonisingly sensitive I thought I must have a cavity) and FEEL collagen (absolutely revolting and after trying and stopping three times, I had to conclude it made my breasts ache 🤔).

I've also bought a few items from Halara. Their clothes are pretty good quality but I believe ethically dubious. I have tended to buy resales from Vinted or eBay.

I love my spiralizer!

Wavy hair JVN air dry cream - expensive and SHITE!

Those Ankhsway mushroom gummy things - full of sugar, made no noticeable difference!

Laura Geller face powder… just meh.

I’m also always making viral recipes - tofu and chocolate mouse anyone?

I'm being seduced by the Halara jeans and linen look trousers too. Is anyone a size 18? What size did you order and are they true to size?

Fussy deodorant. Holy grail for me, really works and I’ll be heartbroken if they change the product.

Wild Nutrition multivitamins. Probably fine but smell grim, have to hold my breath while taking them.

Paradisefold silk hair wrap for sleeping in. Too tight, so I get a headache. 😭 They adjust them for free but I haven’t got round to
the faff of sending it back.

I don’t get the whole Halara thing - it all just looks like supermarket clothes to me 🤷‍♀️

Got rid of mine. Got really bruised from it.

Yep, Fussy works for me too. Great product.

The only room fragrance I found works is this brand. it's not expensive and it works better than any other. however if you put it in a large room it will not work well, just like all the others - it needs to be in a small to medium sized room. we use it in the bathroom. amzn.eu/d/0hishZI5

I took the top of my finger off with one of those. Steered well clear of gimmicky gadgets since!

I think I'm using this thread in the wrong way - I'm about to buy some glassguard mould gel, I'm very curious now about purdy and fig, and I'm slightly tempted by a Kung Fu singing hamster.

I love bird and blend tea and my nutribullet. No regrets there.

Soup maker though - I used it a lot at first but now can't remember when I last used it. It just takes up space in a cupboard.

Up Circle serum and eye cream. The eye cream smells unpleasant and makes no difference. The serum is meh.
Valentte. Lasts such a short time it’s a waste of money.
Shapermint sucking in thing. Sainsbury’s Tu is better.
Nordic socks are good.
Smol. Too expensive.
Touche Eclat and Nars concealer. Rubbish. They don’t blend properly.
The Halara trousers look great, but Trust Pilot reviews are poor.

I bought a Venty fan years ago now - still use it every day and even take it on holiday as it’s wireless. Highly recommend it.

Oodie - love it!

Currently looking at the Oodie cooling blankets, but not convinced they’ll work well. If anyone’s tried one, I’d love to hear about it!

How do I cancel my Purdy and Figg?? It just keeps arriving!!
