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

Oooh, this reminded me I also bought hamman towels and love them when in my camper van! Much better than the awful camping towels that you have to dab yourself with and steel stay wet! These dry you, and you can wrap them around you like a trendy sarong as you walk back from the shower block, plus use them as a beach towel. Also used them on a 2 week rafting trip down the Grand Canyon for everything...sheet, towel, sarong, blanket, wrap!

Also bought 2 pairs of Hush trousers and the Tara dress as a result of this forum and a Boden Breton top. Was I the only one in the world without one??

Now I'm off to google Nip & Fab!!

WindyWednesday · 07/05/2017 19:27

Lakeland heated airer.

downwifthekidz100 · 07/05/2017 19:30

Bargain Ugg boots
DIY needling roller off Amazon
Alpha hydroxy stuff
Leopard print shoes from Dune
and lots more. I had to come off S&B as I have no will power.
All good recomendations though.

TheScottishPlay · 07/05/2017 19:31

Superga's are super comfy. Much better than Converse which make my arches ache.

PovertyJetset · 07/05/2017 19:38

MN scarf- 8 years ago now I think and has been used as a bf covers up, blanket, mat, vomit catcher, sling.... you name it!
Hush
Oil cleansing
Elasticizer

UtahGirl12 · 07/05/2017 19:40

Now I need to know what a MN scarf is and why I don't have one!!

needastrongone · 07/05/2017 20:19

Thanks Laska, this thread has made me smile. Smile

Okay...
Hush clothing, probably half my wardrobe is now Hush.
Zoflora.
M&S Advent Calendar.
Nuxe Products (fab!).
Emma Hardy Morninga balm.
Bargain Ugg biker boots for £40
Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser (wonderful, wonderful).
Soap and Glory, especially heel genius.

Probably loads more, I'll have a think!

BuzzKillington · 07/05/2017 20:26

This thread has reminded me that MN persuaded me to buy a Bayliss Big Hair.

It has languished in a cupboard for about a year now as I hated it.

katplva · 07/05/2017 20:33

The Hush Tara dress - I tried the long-sleeved winter one bit it didn't suit me at all. I was persuaded again to try the v-neck summer one, but nope, it still looked rubbish on me!
More positively - oil for the oil cleansing method, Merrell sandals and a jumper from Mint Velvet, all from recommendations on here. I love browsing through the S&B threads even when I'm not on the lookout for anything in particular.

Judydreamsofhorses · 07/05/2017 20:36

The only thing for me was the Hush ruched skirt - I would never, ever have thought it would work on my shape, but I was intrigued. I now have two black ones and the wine one.

ReluctantlyRedundant101 · 07/05/2017 20:41

Bourgeois cc cream & I'm not going to investigate the m&s aqua perfume

Laska5772 · 07/05/2017 20:44

ooh Need... Heel Genius looks good ! I might have a look tomorrow .

I can also really recommend Boots Intensive Foot Softener £5.99 , Ive used it for years , really good .. especially for 'summer feet'

DianaT1969 · 07/05/2017 20:49

Forgot to mention I bought Philips Lumea because of MN.
Sort of works.. my fault for forgetting to do it.

Clickncollect · 07/05/2017 20:52

Hush ruched skirt - as per @judydreamsofhorses I would never have picked that for myself but absolutely love it and have both black and wine
Zoflora
Saltwater sandals
Joules clothes - never entertained them before but have a few pieces now

MountainDweller · 07/05/2017 21:00

Many, many bras in the correct size Smile

(Went up three cup sizes thanks to bra intervention!)

JaceLancs · 07/05/2017 21:04

Boots curling cream (didn't work for my hair)
Colourphlex hair treatment which was very good
M & S perfume which I keep in my work trip travel luggage - I like it but have others I prefer
Seche vite top coat which didn't last as well as I hoped

StripeyZazie · 07/05/2017 21:06

Liquid gold. Brilliant!

Notagainmun · 07/05/2017 21:18
