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.

Oh can I have the tights link please?! Love their tights but they have so many options - I want to get these exact winners you have!!!

@Britpopbaby thanks for costing me a fortune with this thread… MN recommendation means it’s a must have 😬🩷

Although I feel justified when I see my current favourites being mentioned too so safety in numbers maybe?!!

Celtic & co. sheepskin boots, especially my lovely house boots.

They have a repair service, too.

Holo Taco, Orly, ILNP and Zoya. Used to hate painting my nails, took forever to dry and would chip and bubble. Using cheaper brands clearly didn't work for me, slightly higher price point but they're brilliant brands and they do work for me.

M and S knickers are terrible quality now. Badly made, weird shapes, cheap material.

R&B for boots
Timberland
Seasalt socks
Berghaus
Molton Brown handwash

Joseph clothes.

le pliage and old style mulberry bags.

I was just talking to friends about R&B being sold to Next and we were bemoaning the loss of Bally.

Fantasie for underwear (same group as Wacoal and Freya I believe)
Scarpa boots - good for narrower feet
Didriksons.for waterproof coat
Sweaty Betty All day leggings
Sainsbury Tu modal mix high neck tops.for layering and warmth

Stila eyeliner
Loreal Professional shampoo and conditioner
Wolford opaque tights
Fly London Mols and Yust boots

DIL was thrilled by her Celtic and co sheepskin slippers. I usually buy her UGG that last months before falling apart. These are much warmer with better stitching and soles.

Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser never lets my skin down!

I’d love to find the holy grail of tinted lip balm as I wear it everyday but still looking for perfection in this regard!

Mavala do a great tinted lip balm. I use the cherry. Love it!

Oh, also All saints jeans
And Wolford opaque tights - definitely worth the outlay, million times better than M&S and last

Le plate bags.

mumsy shopper

Guerlain, mainly for its powders and bronzers, particularly the meteorites pearls - really expensive but just coming to the end of my (really beautiful looking) pot now, after 2 + years. They weirdly manage to mattify as well as making you appear dewy and lit up.

ouai leave in conditioner

I’m gutted to read that about Russell & Bromley I had no idea 😞 I’m not sure belonging to the Next group bodes particularly well either?

Dermalogica
Birkenstock
Asics
Sweaty Betty
Esska
Vieve
Diptyque
Tom Ford
Eres

wolford tights? I have always looked at the ridiculous price of them and would never buy in a million years! I think the last time I looked they were about £100?!
