Things Influencers influenced you to buy.

[Coops]

I was influenced by Hinch in the early days with a couple of cleaning products and storage baskets but luckily never went mad and never from a swipe up. However, I now hate all the peddling and gifting on Instagram and actively avoid products which are being sold unless it’s an influencer I trust .

I’m very ashamed of admitting it but I was stupidly influenced to buy a Vileda spray mop which I barely use and some Flash bathroom which gave my husband an asthma attack (I’m not criticising the product, just my stupidity as I knew I should have used natural products because of his asthma...)

I really wanted some m&s shoes that dlam was pushing
dragged my bloke into town,found them and they where awful to even look at
while my bloke was still laughing at me I tried them on
i have size 7 feet and in these they looked twice the size
never again…

Not cushty co but a different brand, recommended a few times by one of hinch's arse lickers and I can't smell anything, bought a few different ones too and they're rubbish. Influencers are just in it for the money, this one just recommends them because he often gets gifted them I've learnt my lesson

Same here...especially ones from ebay, I have ordered several and absolutely no smell, I am now guessing ebay pays for recommendations seeing as they pay for these swipe up ads?

How are you finding The Ordinary. I’m keen to try! But I have combination skin

I have combination skin and I absolutely love it. It works really well for me - I use the B12 serum and the hyaluronic serum daily plus the rosehip mask thing once a week and the retinol a couple of times a week. I really like the ethos behind the company too.

The best ones are morrisons! I've got a few from people on ebay and they're not very good

I tried the pink stuff after seeing it online but thinks it’s crap!

The Pink Stuff is rubbish, I got so excited when I saw it in Poundland and immediately rushed home to try it on my oven door as per the viral posts. It’s essentially very fine sand in a pink paste and it left fine scratches on my (not even that dirty) oven door after scrubbing away at it for a good 15 minutes and it didn’t even get fully clean. Conventional cleaning products would have got it spotless in half the time - I shouldn’t have been fooled by a Hinch recommendation.

Worst one I’ve been influenced to buy was the Fairy Drops mascara. It’s all Anna Edit used to talk about for like 2 months and now nothing. I hated that mascara.

That shitty vileda spray mop and a sphonge (which is also shitty)

 

[Followtheyellowbrickroad]

A selfish mother “mother” hoodie which I cringe about now and never wear! What a rip off it was too and faded really badly after just a few washes

I had one of those !!!! I found it the other day and thought what on earth did I buy this for !!!!!! Massive cringe

 

[mRu]

Thinking about it a fair bit!
Real technique make up brushes & UD naked palette cos every make up influencer had these in their kit!
Rimmel wake me up concealer thanks to Tanya burr. Also bought her brow kit which I actually really like, her nail polishes were good quality too.

I bought a few bits cos of Hinch but only flash bathroom has been a repurchase.

I also bought CoLab dry shampoo cos it's rith crillys product & I don't like Batiste and I love it, works a treat on my hair & don't leave any residue, would recommend

Remember when every one of them had the Zara city bag? My boyfriend at the time bought me it too.

THIS! I think it was also Zoella, I must admit I’m still really happy with it although they don’t sell it in Belgium so I always pick it up when I go back to the UK.

The problem with this is the colour choice is rubbish deffo need to bring out more colours.

Fleur de force recommended the inkey list hyaluronic acid serum and it’s amazing!
Can’t say I’ve ever been sucked In by the rest of the ‘I’ve wanted this for the longest time’ ‘this is my fave enter product here of all time’ bullshit once they have done their thank yous or their touting for sales you never see the products again

 

[AnnaJ]

I've got 2 minky cloths and find they collect lots of hair/dust easily, so it's better to use other cloths and wipes as when I'm wiping the bits all on the minky just keep getting spread where I'm trying to clean if that makes any sense... Also when I need to rinse water/cleaning product out of them and squeeze them they lose shape. The only thing I like about them is you can wash in the washing machine and re-use.

I never get to go to Asda but went recently and they have a huuuuge was melt section. I spent about 20 mins going through them all. They’ve been really good so far

The Asda one’s always go on special! Xx

 

[Latetotheparty]

3yrs ago i was influenced by Mrs rackley home (I know ) to buy a steam mop, it was I think I used it 3 or 4 times and that was only to try & prove to my hubby it wasn’t a waste of money expensive lesson learned. As soon as they all had to declare ads or gifts I swore never to buy anything influencers “love” again.

No-one should be using any chemicals in their homes that cause asthma! Don’t feel you need to justify - pretty much all the products that Hinch etc sell are toxic crap that should come with serious health warnings. Avoid avoid avoid!!

Ah thank you, you’re sweet I don’t know to this day what possessed me to buy it. I have always cleaned with natural products because of my husband’s asthma. I think I needed a reminder to why
