Just being curious, as I just took delivery of my new silver Superga trainers from my Amazon delivery driver I realised I'd never heard of them until a few days ago and this forum! It made me wonder what this forum has led to people buying.

So far, for me, I'd never heard of the following, but am now the proud owner of or am waiting delivery of....

Silver Superga trainers (sending back for smaller size but love them!)
White Earth Spirit Sandals (awaiting delivery)
La Roche Posay face products (love them so much I'm on my second lot!)

Anybody else want to share -so I can shamelessly steal more ideas- Blush

I bought some M&S Aqua perfume after it was recommended in S&B. I got the last one in the shop so I might not have been the only one! Very pleased with it for the price!

emilybrontescorset · 07/05/2017 16:57

I bought 2 h&m dresses that were on offer as someone put them om Here with the discount codes.
I also bought my first pair of Birkenstocks after reading good reviews about them.

Bloody useless tangle teasers - and two of them at that

Aridane · 07/05/2017 17:00

(which I gifted to a couple of mumsnetters - so they didn't go to waste)

hollieberrie · 07/05/2017 17:01

Ooh, good thread idea. Lots:

  • Nip & Fab Daily Glycolic Pads
  • LRP Duo Effaclar (snap!)
  • Phillip Somebody Elasticizer Hair Product
  • Boots Curl Cream
  • Gap Bi-stretch skinny trousers
  • NYX under eye concealer
  • Laura Geller Balance & Brighten powder
  • Tubing Mascara

Erm, am sure theres more. I love MN S&B so much, always brilliant advice and recommendations.

Most things Blush

Zoflora
Next relaxed skinny jeans
MN scarf BlushBlush

Caramac44 · 07/05/2017 17:01

Babyliss big hair (love it)

Valverde Botas 'Kate' Boots (love them)

Loads of stuff in an attempt to look "polished" or "expensive" (failing miserably!)

hollieberrie · 07/05/2017 17:01

*hair in a bun! Not air!

WindyWednesday · 07/05/2017 17:02

M&S beauty advent calendar

Aridane · 07/05/2017 17:02

Oh - and rose hip oil - which left my face dry and taut (so used as a body oil)

EatsLeavesAndShit · 07/05/2017 17:12

Literally everything ever mentioned on this board including, but not limited to:

NYX concealer
Primark version of the beauty blender
Oils for the Oil cleansing method
MN scarf
Tinkle razors for fuzzy facial hair
Epistick
Orly bonder nail base coat
Korean bb creams
Multiple items for a Korean skincare routine
Nip + Fan glycolic pads
Sulphate free shampoos and conditioners for doing the Curly Girl method
Twisty hair pin things
Boots Curl Creme
Lidl perfume

Probably loads more too, I'm very easily led. The only thing I don't have is a Babyliss Big Hair, but my hair is curly so it wouldn't work for me.

So, does anyone have any magic beans they want to sell...? Grin

MrsLogicFromViz · 07/05/2017 17:17

Ooh, loads:

Uniqlo ultra stretch skinnies
Epistick
Micellar Water (not great)
Nike Airs
Adidas Superstars
Gap Boyfriend jeans
Gap Girlfriend jeans
Sainsbury's Tu clothing
Big full apple catcher briefs ...Grin

flossisboss · 07/05/2017 17:39

FOOTNER!

Laska5772 · 07/05/2017 17:39

Loads of things!!
Clarks national Sugar boots ( shows how long I have been on here!) .Im on my 3rd pair now
Soap and Glory foot buffer
Clothes from Hush .( Lots now, indirectly, Id never heard of hush before being on here)
H&M stripy sweatshirt and recently a dress
Bras in the correct size
Stuff from Look Fantastic
Hamman Towels
I'm sure there is more!

DianaT1969 · 07/05/2017 17:44

Nip+Fab products (v happy with them)
Micellar water (useful)

Haven't fallen for the tenacious marketers on the forum flogging Salt Water sandals (flat + yuk)

Not the Boden type, so haven't been swayed there.

Wasn't impressed with Hush quality versus the prices, but love the styling on the website.

Also heard about Finery here and hope to have a reason to buy some.

Laska5772 · 07/05/2017 17:44

Oh yes, gold Saltwater sandals Smile

Ha ! Diana I did fall for saltwaters as you see.. Blush I do like them but I wont get another paiir , very, very thin flat, hard soles... They are Ok, and dont rub , and I like the styling , but the thinness and hardness of the soles (no contouring) mean that they are not the most comfortable for all day wearing , .

Destinysdaughter · 07/05/2017 17:51

Babyliss big hair, good for doing my fringe
Korean beauty products, excellent
Sketchers shoes, v comfortable
Origins Vitazing, great glowy moisturiser!

Laska5772 · 07/05/2017 17:53

Hamman towels are the best for beach holidays I find.. large, lightweight and quick drying.. A great recommend.. But they do seem to have become trendy/ expensive now.. I got mine a couple of years ago .. 4 for £20 on ebay free postage direct fromTurkey,. (bargain) .

IJustLostTheGame · 07/05/2017 17:54

Skincare stuff to follow caroline hirons routines.
Asian skincare stuff.

Destinysdaughter · 07/05/2017 17:55

Also, Body shop Chamomile cleansing oil. Great for taking makeup off and doesn't irritate sensitive skin.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/05/2017 17:56

What are hamman towels and where does one buy them?

Destinysdaughter · 07/05/2017 17:57

Ooh forgot about the Boots pink curl cream, also v good for curly / wavy hair!

sexymuthafunker · 07/05/2017 18:00
