What brands do you think are really worth the money in terms of style and beauty?

[Britpopbaby]

Converse~ they have become a staple for me and can be picked up cheaper in the sales.

Clinique~ specifically their cleansing balm and DDML

Ultraviolet -specifically their tinted SPF 50
which I wear with bronzer on the top.

Aussie leave in conditioning spray-
perfect for taming my hair on a morning

Longchamp le Pliage bags-I have been buying these for 15 plus years and they are perfect for shopping trips, trips to the gym
and small and short breaks away.

Mulberry bags of old, my Bayswater
from the days when they were at the height of their popularity were fantastic quality.

Yes to the Longchamp Le Pliage!

I adore Ultraviolette! I use the same one as you (future fluid) and it is genuinely the first SPF I’ve ever enjoyed wearing. Doesn’t break me out, so light on your skin and gives such a lovely glow. Discovered it whilst on holiday in Australia last year and it has been a game changer.

I’m also a Longchamp Le Pliage devotee - been using them for over 10 years🙈 Easy to style, relatively affordable and very spacious

I swear by Aveda’s Shampowder dry shampoo. So much better than the aerosol alternatives

Levis. I've replaced all of my jeans with them as they're so much better than my M&S/Next/New Look jeans that I used to buy.

Adidas trainers are super comfy and last too.

I’m not slavish over anything, but Birkenstock have never let me down.

Yes to Longchamp

Mac lipliner. everything else I buy is cheaper end, but the lipliner I would always get from Mac. Nice and creamy and lasted over a year of almost daily use.

Mother and Frame jeans
Jones Road make up.

L’Occitane Overnight Reset Serum (and if I have the money, their Immortelle Divine moisturiser). I can see a genuine difference in my skin when I don’t use the serum for a while.

Medik8 retinal.

Not a brand but I always buy real leather shoes. Cheap shoes are a false economy. Leather bags are worth my money too. ☺️

Lancôme concealer evens out the tone of my ageing face better than anything else out there.

I used to love my converse until I had my children and put on weight. My feet wasn't as dainty as what they once were. For that reason I now live in Vans. So wide and comfy.
Also clinque for very sensitive skin.
My dock and bay beach bag and towel. Love them both!
Joules is still a fav of mine in terms of quality clothing.

Liz Earle moisturiser

I love Converse and they are such a classic I feel they are worth it.
Also Joanie Clothing pieces. I know it's a marmite brand but I love the quality and if there is something I absolutely love I will buy full price (although ideally I prefer to shop sales and Vinted!).

Per my username, I have awkward feet! I have to wear properly supportive, cushioned shoes or I suffer the consequences.

Also Paula's Choice BHA and a decent spf

Elizabeth Arden ceramide capsules and also the intensive night moisturizer

Nars blusher

Design Essentials avocado and almond curl mousse

Davines curl serum

Cicaplast B6 moisturizer

Cos -- tailored trousers

Celtic and Co merino jumpers

Chanel lipstick (although I only have 3 and each was bought when they’d got an offer on)

Marks Flexifit knickers

Dr Martens double layer socks

Sensodyne Repair and Protect toothpaste

Jigsaw lace camisoles- mine are ancient but still look brand new

Le Pliage bag for definite.
Vieve concealer
CeraVe moisturising cream
Birkenstocks
Bioderma shower oil
These are my must haves.

My Essential Wardrobe jeans.
Jumper 1234 cashmere jumpers - brilliant value in the sale.

I re-purchase items over and over from these brands.

Crew Clothing Co for shirts

British Boxers for knickers

Nope, that’s it - bit of a shopping tart really, not much brand loyalty I’m afraid!

Clinique skincare, foundation & chubby sticks.
Eyeko mascara.
Cerave oil cleanser.
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Medium pencil & lipstick.
Boody bras.
Muji pure cotton scoop neck t shirts.

Rodial bronze highlighter, concealer and glow primer. They make my skin look amazing.

Percy and Reed hair primer. No frizz at all, but light as a feather.

Le Labo perfumes.

Lululemon leggings. I finally caved and bought a pair and it pains me to say that they are brilliant.

Protected Species rainwear.

Proper wool jumpers instead of acrylic. NavyGrey, Finisterre and Toast are good brands, and their knits will last forever.
