I have just received my Lotta from Stockholm clogs (in red) and I absolutely LOVE them! I would never have come across them if it hadn't been for MN and wonder what other gorgeous things have been bought thanks to the Style and beauty gurus and whether they were as good as you hoped?

In the past, lots of great things - thank you ladies!

TheSpottedZebra · 08/05/2015 17:30

makes note to self to check out bourjois CC cream

RL20 · 08/05/2015 17:34

Tizwailor what's the coverage like of the Bourjois CC cream? And what foundation did you use beforehand?

RL20 · 08/05/2015 17:34

TheSpottedZebra looks like we had the same idea!

TheSpottedZebra · 08/05/2015 17:38

ha, RL20. And baaaaa!

I am also wondering about Euphemia 's 'Korean stuff'. Not sure what it is but I think I probably need it.

MintPink · 08/05/2015 17:45

Thanks for the link MayFriday.

Also thanks to MadBengal for the heads up on the Liz Earle cleanser.

Thanks
EuphemiaCoxton · 08/05/2015 17:49

The bee venom cream and the snail gel stuff. Damn and blast I can't remember what the stuff's called but I know it's on its way

CoconutAmericano · 08/05/2015 17:57

Babyliss Big Hair - Amazing
Saltwater Sandals - one of only two brands of summer shoe that doesnt shred my feet
Lotta clogs -as above!
Caroline Hirons/Sali Hughes/Lisa Eldridge vlogs and blogs. My skin looks so much better now and feels like velvet.
Botanics BB Cream - now that my skin looks better I don't need heavy foundation during the day and this came highly rated here. And it really is good!

MrsUltracrepidarian · 08/05/2015 18:05

So much. Total sheep
Me too.
(Lots of other stuff as well, eg a French campsite and ski reosrt we never would have known about that were out staple for years...)
Two incredibly cheap and effective S&B recommendations that stand out are:
Lanacane for make-up primer - fab!
Vick for toenail fungal cure - miracle that mysteriously works very rapidly - once even overnight.

mayfridaycomequickly · 08/05/2015 18:27

What's the bb cream??

Not something I've bought but I've never been able to apply eye liner so have never used it. Posters on here suggested I look at tightlining and the difference is amazing and so easy to do! Just sad I didn't know about it until I got to nearly 40!

BigSmilesCheesyPie · 08/05/2015 20:28

Flexitol heel balm, as a result my feet were sandal ready with very little effort, it truly is fantastic.

An epilator.

itsnothingoriginal · 08/05/2015 22:25

La Roche Posay duo - am truly grateful as has transformed my skin
I have found Lolita Lempicka and various Shay and Blue/Fragonard perfumes from threads on here
MUA make up
The Vicks treatment for toenails!

I have boring different taste in clothes from a lot of posters here but have found the beauty and fragrance threads really helpful!!

A penis beaker.

AWholeLottaNosy · 08/05/2015 23:05

Origins Vitazing is great, Bourgeois serum foundation also v good. Shampoo and conditioner without sulphate or silicone.It's a matter of trial and error tho, what works for one isn't good for another.

helloelo · 08/05/2015 23:22

Uriage Bariéderm anti-chafing cream. I put it on my inner thighs during the summer. Saves me from having to wear cycle shorts under my skirts. It's miraculous.

MysticMugBug · 08/05/2015 23:40

anti-chafe cream.... the same ingredients of a good makeup primer

MysticMugBug · 08/05/2015 23:41

I have watched Matthew Goss and Lisa Eldridge makeup artist's on youtube
