I found 4160 because of MN but I'm pretty sure that none of the Perfumista crowd work for the company

Only 1 point, retinol solution.

Alternative list:

Fleece - No.

Shoes you wear to do the garden in - No. I live in a flat now, but when I had a garden I had a pair of crocs.

Wellies - No.

Jeans you should have thrown away - No. Because I’ve just kondoed my wardrobe and got rid of everything I don’t use.

Greying bra - No. I change out my bras regularly.

Pair of trousers you still think you will eventually lose enough weight to fit into - Yes. Only a matter of half a size, which I will shave off over the next month or two.

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 - No. Not anymore!

Ohtheroses- get the perfume Parlour dupe. It's better.

12!

My retinol toner wasn't due to Mumsnet but a health and beauty book.
Stripy clothes from years ago when I tried on my friends stripy t shirt and everyone said it made me look really curvy on the right way. And then I bought a dress with stripes and my husband thought I looked great in it so I bought more!
Converse due to wanting light weight trainers.
Estée Lauder DW I'm not sure about, I think I've googled it a million times and thought it sounded horrible, then I read about it from a make up artist who mixes it with serum or primer and I thought "sod it, let's try it" it's actually not that thick and is the only thing that withstands 40 degree heat!

9 points!

Only 4.
4160 Tuesdays - the Ealing Green. I dislike the others.
Jo Malone - Nutmeg & ginger which is now discontinued.
Loafers. - yes.
Hush - Leopard silk cashmere scarf from several years ago.
I’m also waiting for the leopard print skirt from Brand
Alley.
Boden. - I used to buy Cashmere from there which turned into
Rags so stopped years ago. Adored the kids clothes .
When mine were little.

I should point out that I don't work for any of these companies! 😂

I just tried to list things that are popular here. I discovered all of these brands before seeing them mentioned on Mumsnet.

However, Mumsnet S&B has encouraged me to buy higher quality, more classic pieces and things that suit my colouring - but that can only be a good thing!

Oh, I didn't think you did, OP!
But I'm 100% a lot of posters (not on this thread) do.
Mind you, I've said the words Perfume Parlour so many times people probably think I work for them!

1. Parlux, mulberry bag, converse and a Burberry trench (not all worn together)

And all of anna’s alternative list 😂

Only one: my Converse, which I love

Slightly embarrassing 11 on the first list. But a highly gratifying full house on the second. I have also spent the entire day in my dressing gown. I think I am a slob with delusions of adequacy!

4160 Tuesdays perfume Don’t know what that is.
A skincare item containing one of the following: retinol, vitamin C, lactic acid, salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Yes
Babyliss Big Hair Yes
Bobbi Brown item No, I hate the range, poor quality and orange making
Diva, Dyson or Parlux hairdryer Dont like Parlux, gave the Dyson to my step daughter, never had a Diva I don’t think. Currently using a GHD Air and one by Tony & Guy. Both the same performance
Estee Lauder double wear foundation or advanced night repair serum Yes, but not used for awhile
Jo Malone item The brand has gone downhill so I have given most away but still have a few candles
Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser Yes, but not used for awhile
Lumea, Tria or similar hair removal device No
The Ordinary item I bought most of their range and gave it away as it’s all utter rubbish

Breton top or dress A top but not worn in ages
Boden clothing Yes. Not worn much lately
Hush clothing Not keen. I have a few things but not really my style
Loafers No
Modalu, Mulberry or Osprey handbag or purse Yes to all three
One of the following trainers or shoes: Converse, Superga, Stan Smith I hate converse, not keen on Superga but like the Pharrell Collaborations with Adidas/Stan Smith even though he’s a complete twat.
Trench coat - lots

0 for the clothes (I live in Air Max/ Fila Disruptors and probably dress far too young for my age)

4 for beauty - glycolic acid toner (Superdrug own), The Ordinary Azaleic Acid, a Lumea and a Big Hair (for when I need my crazy curls to look fancy)
