What have you bought because of Mumsnet?

[cloudskitchen]

I'm just curious what purchases you can attribute to Mumsnet and are you pleased with them?

I bought the Hush ruched skirt which I love and I've just invested in the Babyliss Big Hair and am pleased with the results so far. I wouldn't normally look at anything called big hair as I like my hair skinny but it's sleek with shape in the right places

Batiste Dry Shampoo - something I'd always known about (memories of English teacher with obvious powder in the 1970s - ugh) but someone was raving on here about it, so I gave it a go. And it's great.

I only started lurking/posting since the beginning of this month and have bought Ash Jalouse boots, 2 Becksondergaard scarves, some shoes to wear on a night out as well as a clutch, BBH, MUA make up, some oil for oil pulling. I sound like a sheep don't i? Was/am in a complete style rut and need a serious overhaul of clothes/make-up/grooming everything. This is the start of my looking better journey

Ditto becksondergaard scarves and ash boots, also me and em ruched jersey skirt. Have discovered me and em, j crew and massimo dutti. Also had colours done, which was less successful

I could go on and on.......I'm easily influenced .MN keeps me out of a style rut!
Oh and of course is bought a Merell Wakefield v practical coat last year.

Waitrose bottom butter, bare minerals, mavla scientifique (all good recommendations) and most recently oil of primrose to try on my face. Ordered online and not arrived yet so can't comment!

I collected mine today gin !!

Lots of bits and pieces and all have been spot on!

Me and Em ruched dress, top and skirt. Damn you all

No 7 primer

BBH

Mango furry gilet

Warehouse party dress

Top Shop Mighty boots

Coconut oil

Nail Envy

Ooh yes, and a Merrell Wakefield

Lily Lolo cosmetics

Great items there Dry I've also bought some Superdrug Vitamin E stuff.

BBH - rubbish

Bodyshop hemp hand cream - vile smell

Becksongard scarf - never wore, gave straight to sister

Golly, I'm a bundle of festive cheer aren't I?

Am sure I have bought some good stuff though that I've seen on here - I just can't remember.

So many discoveries due to MN.
Woolovers, kettlewell, babyliss big hair, water pic, mint velvet, rock salt ... for starters. Then there are reminders such as when there is a sale at Clarks or when there are good autumn colours at espirit. I have asked for advice on where to get skirts for example and ended up doing a big order at white stuff. All the time I am getting great suggestions from MN.
I spend way more on clothes than I used to but I am much happier with how I look.
I want to get the secret curl but it's £190 so I will wait for it to get below £100, or go without.
I had a few turkeys though, like an emmi dent toothbrush that was rubbish.

Babyliss big hair - wonderful on my chin length bob ( though I still put a Velcro roller in the fringe while I'm doing the rest) Ash wedge trainers ( Bea Bis) Dune biker boots. I work full time and am not that fashion savvy so I doubt I'd know about Uniqlo, Cos, mineral make up, Chanel volume mascara and many other things that are now very important to me without S&B.

I'm going to have to check out a few things on your lists now, especially the scarves. I love scarves

I also bought coconut oil but didn't really think that through. My eyes water really easily and if I get that in them they're off for hours!

Need to add becksongaard scarf now, thanks.

BBH - Rubbish

Babyliss curling wand- equally rubbish

Gap maxi dress - love it.

Hush ruched skirt - going to buy another

Clarks Hamble Oak brogues - love

Superdrug vit E hot cloth cleanser and aveeno moisturiser transformed my dull eczema prone skin. I haven't had a flare up on my face for almost 3 months. The aveeno shower wash is fantastic too.

Also after starting a thread about make up for darker skin, I bought no 7 foundation and concealer in deeply honey. It is as good (if not better) than mac and bobbi brown.

Oh and MUA eyeshadow palette and their primer.

Bodyshop hemp hand cream. It's pretty good but I agree, the smell is awful.

BBH - amazing
Signed up to 'does my bum look 40 in this?' blog
Dark foundation to do contouring as of this morning!
Maybe not many specific items per se but I have definitely been influenced by the general ideas and styling tips (I love style & beauty)

I really want the ruched skirt but am waiting for some kind mumsnetter to post a link to the shop where I can buy some long model-looking legs to go with it

I haven't got long model legs, Curious. I'm 5'4" with "too skinny legs" according to my GP yesterday. I wear it with thick tights.

Buy it, it it so comfy.

A steam mop
Foundation
Mustard ketchup

All brilliant - thank you.

Nothing but I have heard of loads of brands I had never heard of before, such as

Me and Em
Celtic Sheepskin
Hush
Woolovers
And other stories
Ash Boots

I'm only 5'2" and I definitely don't have model like legs but I wear it with opaques. it's so comfy. good alternative to jeans with casual layers
