What has S and B made you buy?

[steben]

I was thinking on my commute into work this morn how since I have been using this thread I have directly bought a number of beauty products based on recommendations from other mumsnetters . I have listed below and also whether I rate them in the hope others might do the same?

Moroccon oil ? wonder product hair lost frizziness and is sleeeker, exoensive but lasts ages
Rapid Lash serum ? again great product really noticed a difference
Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation ? amazing will never go back and I had tried all the big brands. YSL, Chanel etc?
Tuban Towel - hmmm not sure on this one, normal towel was just fine
Clarins Mascara Fix Brilliant product ? keeps lashes in place with no smudging all day
Bare Mineral Mineral Veil Powder - Great stuff ? reduces shine and has a high SPF factor
Clinique City Block SPF 40 - Ok, not sure I will buy again, still searching for a high SPF day wonder product
Decleor Neroli Face Oil - Love it! New essential part of skin care routine

I am sure I will think of others?.

From what I can renember

Boots airbrush primer
Rosehip oil
Kurt geiger converse style boots with fur inside
Almost about to buy new bag after the recent revommend a bag thread
Sure there are others but knackered and Night feeding so cant remember.!

Leighton Denny crystal nail file - good

Forgotten the name of it, but a treatment coat for harder nails - okay, but my nails still split

Hair turban - convenient, but doesn't seem to speed up drying time, but good for wearing when using ....

Coconut oil on hair

Ocm - like the way my skin feels, but hasn't cleared up spots

Rosehip oil - see above

Barbara Daly primer - very good

S&B is very addictive reading

Off the top of my head Barbara Daly primer and a Mumsnet scarf but sure there's more. Also on my wishlist are a Merrel Wakefield, a Hush sweater dress, some Acne Pistols and a Peony & Moore bag, none of which I would have heard of without S&B...

that eyelash serum thing - didn't work for me
ditto blink mascara - made eyelashes fall out!
morroccan oil - wonderful
parlux hairdryer - also wonderful
some primer - can't remember name, but wasn't for me
retinA cream - the dog's bollocks!
and, of course, all the lovely discount codes

More have come to mind - the Laura mercier tinted moisturiser the only one I have ever found that works with my pasty skin and a good alternative to foundation when I am having a minimum make up day. I can see more products coming as a result of this thread

God the best thing for me has undoubtedly been botox which Noddy inspired me to get. So thanks Noddy

hm what I can remember:

BBH - love, but after it broke, got a similar Rowenta one, which is even better
Liz Earle - meh, did nothing for me
Bare Minerals - horrible. After complaining about it, someone here recommended Lily Lolo, which I like much better.
Seche Vite - love
LK Bennett Davina - adore, have 2 of them
Mulberry Bayswater- love
Urban Decay Primer Potion - fab
Skin79 korean BB cream - love
Shred - meh, but ok for lazy days

So, I should buy Liquid Gold next, you say?

Faustian.... RetinA? Which one, please? Where from? I thought it was a prescription only item?

Faustina..... IPad!

forgive me mrscambpellblack for i have shamelessly nicked your studded armed winter coat. And me a lurker on your S&B threads too.

Loads, but also I follow DMBL40 and Lisa Eldridge religiously. And Sali Hughes, but not as good as

Bonacure Miracle Oil is better than MoroccanOil (just discovered it in a pharmacy in France)

Oh that coat is gorgeous isn't it Bobbi - I keep looking in my wardrobe at it and stroking the arms.

it's still en route from online store! I took a lengthy diversion back from meeting to office earlier in the week only to find that zara was shut so have ordered sight unseen and recklessly gone for xs - hope it doesn't come up very small?

B Big Hair - crap
Rosehip oil - fantastic!
OCM - crap
L'Oreal anti dandruff shampoo - fantastic!
Parlux hair drier - fantastic!

ELiza22 - I'll find the link for it in a bit - it was Ggirl who found it first!

Have been lurking on and off since last winter and bought white company tunics, Brora cashmere and fly wedge shoes! And built up more of a capsule and smarter wardrobe than my pre children days. Time to stop lurking and become a poster I think.

I've gone for xs and it fits perfectly - not as teeny as some of the Zara stuff.

Now my only challenge is what handbag to use withit as most of mine have gold hardware - so do I need a new bag I wonder

Argan oil.

Then Moroccanoil (branded) hair stuff.

Neither does anything for me.

Yes forgot Botox

Wouldn't have done it without rave reviews from my S and B buddies

I bought 2 mumsnet scarfs before I found S&B.

I have the new buterfly scarf in green.
Ordered some argan oil.

What is the mumsnet scarf ...Please someone tell me!!!

It's a nasty crinkly crumpled piece of fraying cotton with badly printed leopard print on it

Well mine was at least

It was viscose - I loathe viscose

Love reading S&B and what a brilliant thread this is. Like so many others I have succumbed to:

Coconut oil -
Moroccan oil - love it!
Mumsnet scarf x 2
Zebra print scarf
