Instagram made me buy it !

Snag tights are fabulous! They appealed because I'm a larger size and M&S tights seem crap these days.
Got 6 pairs of plain black ones for my last job as had a uniform - that was 3-4 years ago and they are still going strong (while the job is not!). No ladders, no holes. They are so comfy too, the waistband doesn't dig in, it doesn't feel like you are wearing tights. Have since gone and bought some of their more colourful and patterned tights. Would recommend!
I love Snag tights too. They are really, really comfortable, and if you are a plus size they are actually designed to fit properly on the thigh. I’ve never tried their wool tights but genuinely live in their 80 denier ones and I love that they have different colours and patterns in every size.

Pillow slides - these are comfy but make your feet look huge and they get hot

Wishing Angel back large bra - their sizing is stupid, if you have big boobs this will never fit regardless of the size. The company has a return policy on their website that states that if you don't like it or it doesn't fit, you can return. They gave me the runaround and even tried to make me feel guilty by saying they would give me part of their "meagre salary" of $5 to make me feel better.....idiot scammers!

Hoodie for pets - A cute hoodie with a pocket in the front to fit your cat, mine did not fit, Mr. Floof is too floofy!!

Engraved forks - May the fork be with you - I forking love you - it comes in a nice box, cute gift

Ear camera - Doesn't work

Coffee mug - It says - I love you with all my boobs

Cat dad tshirt with the cat's names

Rubber boots - Lemonjelly - the boots are super cute and smell like lemons

Drain sticks - throw a stick down the drain to clear it, amazon

Sunlounger for 2 with umbrella, wayfair - I love that thing so much!!!!!!!

Sunglasses, Nordstrom and Free People

Lumen - blower to measure metabolism, had it for 2 weeks...so far so good

The Ordinary - glycolic acid, has many uses apparently

Hair clips - fancy silver and gold metal clips

Sandals to make your posture better, it doesn't

Betabrand pants - dress pants that are comfy

Sports bra with lace detail, it's fine

Earrings from Ana Luisa, then more earrings....then more and more

I'm sure there's more but that's all I remember.

What are yours??
Omg what’s an ear camera? This is such a good idea for a thread though!

Mine are usually ceramics from independent makers which sounds SO pretentious but it’s okay as they all break in the end (some sooner than others) so I’m an idiot for it 😂

I like the ordinary tho! I’ve banned myself from buying anymore skincare until I use up everything I have atm and can’t wait to go on a little ordinary shop!

Oh yes I've seen those ads for the tights many many times.

I really want to try the foundation IL Makiage.....they make it look so good!!!
I tried it using the quiz but the shade is too warm/yellow for me - if you're already good at shade matching yourself it's decent enough foundation but honestly it is 90% just hype. I also got the concealer and it's absolutely nothing to write home about! There's nothing wrong with either product, but you can buy far better for the price.

Love this thread!

Il Makiage - I actually quite like it, but not a huge makeup user, so maybe not the best to ask

Carpet fluff scraper - love it. Revolting what it gets up that the hoover misses though

Huel-like powder meal - can't remember it's name. Couldn't bear it.

Magnetic eyelashes - they are good, but I bought ones that are too big for me (in my opinion)

Earrings from Sapphire Frills - love them and since bought more, and some as gifts!

YESSSS magnetic lashes, I've seen those so many times and always wondered if they are any good lol

Same! The ones I got are way too huge but I couldn't even cut them to fit because they'd either be too short, or not have a magnet on the end to hold them on. The magnetic liner that came with them was SO GOOD though I just use it on its own 😂

LOL....it's a little stick with a tiny camera at the end and you plug it in your computer and stick it in....you can watch it and see how clean your ears are. They also include an attachment to scrape and that part didn't work but the camera part did.

The Ordinary is so cheap though!!...I have the Buffet, salicylic acid and cleanser as well.....didn't see a difference.

The best thing I've ever tried that actually made a difference in a few days was the Dr. Gross peel. Amazing!

It largely is but I find you can get really suckered in with skincare & cosmetics and end up just constantly hauling new things. There’s a whole subreddit of people trying to break this addiction so I’ve always maintained a one in one out approach to skincare tbh otherwise stuff just doesn’t get used and it is wasteful and not great for the planet, it’s not about cost.

I have the buffet with copper peptides in my current skincare routine and will 100% rebuy that it’s so good, but some of the retinol products I have I won’t as I do prefer the ordinary’s as they feel more efficacious tbh.

So my Instagram purchase which I regret is a coloured duvet which was nice and good quality but it made out it could be washed in the washing machine so used without putting a cover on it. It couldn’t and I had to take it to dry cleaners who were snotty about it being covered in cat hair. It cost me the same again to get it cleaned.

They are SO cool! I got an RGB one and, although I enjoy the gimmicky colours (and tell myself that the red light is a good bedtime light, in a kind of blue-light filter way) and being able to turn the light off from bed, the unexpected actual bonus of them is the ability to have every shade of white, from bright white to warm white, and all the 100%s.

I hadn't even thought before I bought them of how useful it would be to have a 100% bright white when I am working on something fiddly or eye-straining, and then be able to switch to a 50% warm white when I am chilling out and needing some light but not stark whiteness. Huge fan. Also the ones I've got don't reset when I turn them off at the switch, as I've heard some do.

Ohhh colours!...nice!
I just have them outside and have them scheduled to turn on at night. The main purpose was to turn lights on outside when coming home at night because we would always forget before leaving. I really like the control from my phone.
Yes bright whites are great!
 
I’m not a big spender. The only thing i’ve bought because of insta has been the little people big dreams books.

Bought three for a friend’s daughter for christmas maybe 3 years ago.

I keep seeing ads for Andie swimsuits....they look so nice.
Has anyone tried them?
 
I can’t think of anything I’ve been influenced to buy except this came up in my feed and I can’t find it anywhere! It’s an embossed wooden rolling pin, for stamping shortbread etc. There are so many patterns on Amazon but this one caught my eye and I can’t find a source. The original account got asked numerous times in the comments but didn’t reply. Any ideas?
