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

Someone posted about a specific kind of Uniqlo top that is smart and washes well. I bought two online, in the sale (less than £20 for the pair!) and love them. Flowers to that poster!

Jade perfume. Rosehip oil.

Remus Hamman towels . They are large cotton towels,, This huge tea towels only thicker/nicer! I'm pretty sure this is who I bought ours from.. they are more expensive now, ( these seem the cheapest I have found) but ours are still good after many washes, hot holidays and beach visits.

some Uk companies are now selling them for £25 a towel!! Shock.. I suppose because they are deemed trendy..

I LOVE S&B, a big thanks to everyone who has posted their recommendations on here, it's so much better than a magazine, as pp aren't trying to push a product so I feel like I can trust what pp are saying, as they are just saying what's worked for them! SmileFlowers

( and hopefully I've tried to do the same...)

Iris65 · 07/05/2017 18:05

Nip and Fab glycolic pads

Wanderingbluebell · 07/05/2017 18:14

I try to convince myself I don't really MN that much but clearly I do as thanks to recs here I've bought: supergas; boden blackberry dress; hush ruched skirt; didriksons coat; Paula's choice acid thingy; nip and fab pads; hush dress...and coveted loads more :)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/05/2017 18:15

Thanks, Laska.

emilybrontescorset · 07/05/2017 18:16

Would you recommend the and nip and fab range?

Dontlaugh · 07/05/2017 18:20

The Ordinary serums
Superga shoes
Babyliss big hair
LRP cleanser and moisturiser
Gave myself a Mumsnet haircut (don't do that one)
Marc Jacobs bag
Oscar de la Renta dress (worth it)
Loads more but can't think now, I am a Mumsnet marketers dream....

PaperdollCartoon · 07/05/2017 18:25

Tatlerer which tops?

Tatlerer · 07/05/2017 18:32

It was the easycare silk touch long sleeve blouse paperdoll

carabos · 07/05/2017 18:36

Bought a Seasalt waterproof coat. It's a great price, long, warm and properly waterproof so it would be perfect except it's ugly and doesn't fit properly.

Chickpeachick0 · 07/05/2017 18:37

Lakeland heated airer and cover
Zoflora

Exciting stuff !

carabos · 07/05/2017 18:38

Also bought Uggs using the discount code. They're ok but I didn't realise they're really slippers and wore them outdoors- big mistake!

hollieberrie · 07/05/2017 18:42

Oooh yes the Paulas choice BHA 2% acid thing, was really great. Have run out now, must get some more...
I did try the Boden Blackberry dress and the Hush ruched skirt but they ddint work for me.
Topshop Leigh skinnies were a good recommendation though, big fan.

Snooks1971 · 07/05/2017 18:42

I posted this on a thread last night for info :
All Nip+Fab products are half price at SuperDrug at the moment!

whitehandledkitchenknife · 07/05/2017 18:42

Clarks romantic moon sandals with a leopard print bar. (I have never worn anything in animal print before).
Paula's Choice acid thingy - as a last ditch attempt to finally try and shift the most annoying blackhead in the universe - it's working.
A bunch of face oils to try hot cloth cleansing. (I dip in and out of that one).
Primark jeggings which have replaced my ridiculously expensive NYDJs.

Thank you one and all Flowers

Firstaidnovice · 07/05/2017 18:44

I have

Saltwaters (I've had them for a good few years, I like to think pre MN raving about them, but probably not)
Didriksons coat
Nip and fab pads
Footner, although I can't do it anymore because I'm a swimming teacher and I can't risk shedding my whole foot like a snake in the pool
Someone on here chose my wedding knickers Grin Can't remember where from now
Dunlop version of Converse, so much comfier and cheaper
Probably loads more. The Mumsnet Loves emails are lethal.

Destinysdaughter · 07/05/2017 18:47

Someone on here chose my wedding knickers

Haha, think that wins the thread!

Destinysdaughter · 07/05/2017 18:48

I'm also interested in trying out Primark makeup as its had such good reviews on here!

Firstaidnovice · 07/05/2017 18:50

I just wanted pretty but large knickers. All wedding lingerie is skimpy, and I had a young DC and wanted pretty but big pants. Where else to go but MN right? I still have them. Tragically my arse is now even bigger than my big knickers.

OldJoseph · 07/05/2017 18:57

A much shorter list is what I haven't bought as a result of MN:

Nothing! Blush.

twilightcafe · 07/05/2017 18:58

Where do I begin?
I'll stick to the products that I bought more than once...
Hammam towels for gym/swimming/holidays
Nip + Fab glycolic pads
Aldi mascara (I buy it in bulk when it's in stock)
Hush harem pants
Body Shop Camomile cleansing butter
Superga trainers
Perfume Parlour smellalikes
Boden breton tops
Mumsnet scarf
Becksondergaard scarves from TK Maxx

Destinysdaughter · 07/05/2017 18:59

Also Wilkos Essence mascara, cheap as chips and fantastic!

Changingagain · 07/05/2017 19:12

Babylis big hair, absolute waste of money for me.

Sketchers socks, worn their shoes for years but never knew they did socks until I read it on here.

Lots of stuff from emp who I hadn't heard of until reading a thread on here.

Most of last years Christmas presents were recommended on the Christmas threads.
