I tend to lurk on here and not actively post but in the last few months I’ve bought - directly due to seeing it on here;

Loccitane Almond Shower Oil - I’m converted its amazing -

I’ve also bought the body cream now!

Those Korean scrubbing mitt things- they’re quite good

Neilson Chiropody sponges - amazing

Pair of Next Jersey joggers - they went straight back they were awful on me

I’m sure there is other stuff I have seen on here and decided i have to have it...what has S&B made you buy?

A dressing gown from 100 stars - very good quality, and lovely colours.

Avon mascara. I’m a convert!

White Stan Smiths. Built to last and make my ankles look slimmer.

AprilLady · 22/07/2020 18:18

Quite a lot over the years, from Beauty Advent Calendars to Cos. Latest purchase were these Air and Grace trainers - not cheap, but love the look and very comfortable.

Revitalash advanced. OMG, top eyelashes definitely longer, lower ones coming along but the WOW is my eyebrows, had lost the last cm on the outer edges, but they are now back.
Seriously great product

BobbinThreadbare123 · 23/07/2020 14:33

@Thesuzle can you tell us more about the eyebrow regeneration? This is something that definitely interests me! The price of the Revitalash puts me off. Is it the same as Rogaine?

MollyAtTheFolly · 23/07/2020 14:38

Loads.

Hush and Toast for clothes. although I'm still most loyal to Hobbs
Saltwater sandals - I know they're not everyone's cup of tea but I find them comfortable
Snag tights - another marmite one but they fit me well
Neom candles
M&S 5 pocket jeggings when they were a thing

Lobsterquadrille2 · 23/07/2020 14:53

@jokolo The Ordinary and then progressed to the Dermatica, like a sheep! A smooth skinned sheep!

Yep, another sheep here - I read the same threads.

Babysharkdoodoodood · 23/07/2020 15:14

Korean scrubbies
The Ordinary Buffet
Harem pants from eBay ( only in the house though )
Real soap

Terralee · 23/07/2020 15:20

Big Bloomer Company anti chafing shorts, they're a game changer!

PersonaNonGarter · 24/07/2020 22:49

Lots including:

BBH
Lumea
Some harem pants from eBay
Clarins face oil
And introduced me to some brands I didn’t know about

I either join in or get really turned off if something gets hyped too much. This is the first season in 13 years that I have bought nothing from Toast. The Toast thread put me off it.

PersonaNonGarter · 24/07/2020 22:50

I’ve never bought anything from Hush for the same reason.

ChaToilLeam · 24/07/2020 23:00

Babylon’s Big Hair ✅
The Ordinary Bufffet ✅
Those Korean skin towel thingies ✅
100 Stars Kimono ✅
Harem pants from EBay ❌
Kiko eyeliner pen ❌ 🐼

purpledagger · 24/07/2020 23:08

Korean Italy towels (not from the recent discussion, but the one a few months ago).

The Ordinary (I emailed them for a routine)

Boden (although, only from eBay).

Coach scout hobo (in the sale - there was a whole thread a few years ago).

What I haven't tried (but comes up a lot)

Philippa lumea - I get laser treatment though Groupon.

Beauty pie - I really don't want another monthly payment coming out of my bank account.

Bablyliss big hair - my hair is big enough as it is.

chillimartini · 24/07/2020 23:11

Korean Italy towels

Magickl · 24/07/2020 23:38

Best thing I remember: Revolution Foundation drops. Three drops gives coverage over my face and neck. And I can mix with moisturiser for a sheer tint.

Worst thing: Theo Fennell A Scent. I was won over by the "animalic" description... But it was too animalic and smelled like dried urine on me.

MulberryPeony · 25/07/2020 06:48

Another thread reminded me I did buy a 100 stars kimono after a mumsnet offer even though it didn’t buy the one on offer.

lockdownalli · 25/07/2020 12:51

I think I have bought pretty much All The Things Grin

unoeufisunoeuf1 · 25/07/2020 14:28

One of those long bendy spring things that pulls out facial hair. OUCH.

misscockerspaniel · 25/07/2020 16:52

Gosh, loads. Off the top of my head:

Vitamin C serum (only bought yesterday so too early to say);

Lumea

Several pairs of Adidas Gazelles (love them)

Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser (worried that they have changed the formula)

Benefit Gimme Brow (brilliant, don't leave the house without it on)

NegativeNina · 25/07/2020 17:50

Dermatica subscription, it's made so much difference.

Mrsmchammer · 25/07/2020 18:43

Am off to buy a Korean towel thing and see what a 100 stars kimono is.

I love this, my bank account doesn't always but I do. So many ideas😊

Mrsmchammer · 25/07/2020 18:44

Oooh I saw those the other week (from here). They look lovely.

SauvignonBlanketyBlank · 25/07/2020 18:50

Korean green exfoliating cloths

OhioOhioOhio · 25/07/2020 18:53

What's the tights up belt? I've just looked and can't find it.

Tappering · 25/07/2020 18:58

Korean green exfoliating cloths - far too harsh for face but good for elbows and feet.

Lumea

Hush stripy dress that made me look like a rugby player in drag.

Red lipstick that suits my skin colour

A properly fitting bra.

1forAll74 · 25/07/2020 19:09

I have only bought a small tin of gloss paint,and three non stick oven trays. very exciting ! I don't allow myself to get tempted with all the lovely stuff that I may look at.
