4160 Tuesdays perfume - yes, pretty much all of them Grin
A skincare item containing one of the following: retinol, vitamin C, lactic acid, salicylic acid or glycolic acid - yep, probably all of the above
Babyliss Big Hair - nope, I have very short hair
Bobbi Brown item - nope
Diva, Dyson or Parlux hairdryer - see above re: hair
Estee Lauder double wear foundation or advanced night repair serum - no although I do secretly covet the ANRS
Jo Malone item - nope, overpriced, overhyped tosh imo
Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser - yes
Lumea, Tria or similar hair removal device - nope, razors do for me
The Ordinary item - yes but I wish I hasn't bothered

Breton top or dress - yes, several Blush
Boden clothing - yes, a fantastic black wool dress that I've had for years and is a perfect go-to work dress, otherwise I really don't like Boden
Hush clothing - yes, another black wool dress!
Loafers - no, ewww
Modalu, Mulberry or Osprey handbag or purse - an ancient Bayswater that my cats have scratched to bits
One of the following trainers or shoes: Converse, Superga, Stan Smith - leopard print Supergas, red Converse, I live in them
Trench coat - god no, I'd look like Peter Sellers

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 11/05/2019 18:50

AnnaMagnani - all of your list, several times over!

doubleshotespresso · 11/05/2019 18:53

AnnaMagani yes to ALL on your list!

thenightsky · 11/05/2019 18:55

Retinol etc skincare (2 items)
Parlux hair dryer
Epilator - not sure if that is equivalent to Lumea.
2 The Ordinary items (see skincare above)
Breton top
Boden clothing
Mulberry handbag plus purse/wallet

(great thread OP)

thenightsky · 11/05/2019 19:00

2.

Could we have an alternative bingo of:

Fleece - one I've had about 3 years, bought for a holiday and worn but twice.

Shoes you wear to do the garden in 1 - also for hanging washing out

Wellies - No, not since moving out of very rural mud area

Jeans you should have thrown away 3 pairs

Greying bra a bloody drawer full!

Pair of trousers you still think you will eventually lose enough weight to fit into Oh only about 6 pairs Blush

Unworn item of clothing still with tags on that you wish suited you but it's now too late to send back and you will never wear Oh god... about 6 from dresses to trousers to tops to coats.

LuxuryWoman2018 · 11/05/2019 19:05

I have 2 Osprey bags and 2 Osprey purses, is that 4 points for the items or just one for being Osprey?

Nothing else on that list, a few from the alternative bingo list. I just don’t know who I am 🤨😁

Pinkarsedfly · 11/05/2019 19:06

10

Pinkarsedfly · 11/05/2019 19:07

And 3 of the alternative list.

Thedarklady · 11/05/2019 19:08

Thanks @thenightsky
Thats just 1 point @LuxuryWoman2018

Pinkvici22 · 11/05/2019 19:09

7 for me!

Whatthefoxgoingon · 11/05/2019 19:09

I’ve got 5 of yours too AnnaMagani

I may need a Marie Kondo intervention.....

Confused
anascrecca · 11/05/2019 19:14

2 : I have a Bobbi Brown eyeliner that is about 15 years old.
a Jo Malone candle bought for me as a present.
Fake Converse but I would like some real ones.

I have everything on AnnaMagnani’s list

MaidofKent78 · 11/05/2019 19:15

0 on OP's list

Could we have an alternative bingo of:

Fleece - grubby, hay encrusted at the stables.

Shoes you wear to do the garden in 1 - also for hanging washing out

Wellies - 3 pairs

Jeans you should have thrown away 1 pair that I keep in the vain hope they will fit again 1 day

Greying bra - no! Just had a clear out

Pair of trousers you still think you will eventually lose enough weight to fit into - see jeans above!

Unworn item of clothing still with tags on that you wish suited you but it's now too late to send back and you will never wear - none, surprisingly

Xiaoxiong · 11/05/2019 19:16

I've got 6 of Anna's list. Would have been 7 but because I always steal DH's fleece, it's not actually mine so it doesn't count!!

I don't have any white bras that can go grey, but I do have bras where the underwire has come through in the front that I have attempted (badly) to repair. So now there is a big ugly lump of darning that the damn underwire keeps shredding anyway. So I counted that as one point.

NicoAndTheNiners · 11/05/2019 19:16

Never heard of that perfume.

Apileofballyhoo · 11/05/2019 19:18

2 for the first list and all of Anna's list.

AnyFucker · 11/05/2019 19:20

0 beauty items (just Oil of Olay and eyeliner for me)

3 of the shoes/clothes

MarshaBradyo · 11/05/2019 19:21

None!
I did buy Laura Mercier once but I don’t have it any more

Haven’t bought the rest, read a couple of times to check

Lucked · 11/05/2019 19:24

All the clothes

3 of the beauty products

TheCanterburyWhales · 11/05/2019 19:25

4160- yes, but only London 1969 and Ealing Green. Hate all the others. Smell like a 6 yr old has poured all their mum's scent in one bottle.

Retinol, Glycolic, Vit C, yes. In several forms.

Parlux, but it's dd's. I usually drip dry

ANR- yes. First bottle. Not sure yet if it's a holy grail but on reflection it probably is. Wouldn't touch DW with a bargepole.

Jo Malone- biggest purveyor of Emperor's New Clothes on the market. If I want a "perfume" which is 80% water, I'll dilute my own down.

The Ordinary. Best named stuff on sale because it so is. Chucked the lot apart from the Argan oil.

Bretons- yes
Boden yes
Hush- no way. Overpriced loudly patterned synthetics? It's like Per Una for people who mock Per Una.

Modalu bag- yes

All those trainers- nope. Because they're all very uncomfortable. I've tried all and passed them onto dd.

caffeinebuzz · 11/05/2019 19:26

All of Anna's list!

TheCanterburyWhales · 11/05/2019 19:30

And all of Anna's list (would also like to take opportunity to say I think the Anna Magnani was one of the sexiest most charismatic actresses ever)

duckling84 · 11/05/2019 19:45

But do I get double points for having a boden breton?

tierraJ · 11/05/2019 19:48

Omg I shouldn't be on style & beauty as I have none of those things, although potentially my serum or night cream may contain one or more of the ingredients mentioned?

LaurieFairyCake · 11/05/2019 19:50

All of them apart from trainers
