3 Things I Bought from Social Media . . . and How They Actually Worked Out
If I see a thousand or so positive reviews about something, that is pretty much the first jumping off point that piques my interest level. I may not even know what the product is, but if a ton of people are into it I swiftly want to explore it for myself.
Oddly, even after hearing that some sketchy brands will PAY people to leave positive reviews（我最近听说这个在播客。我相信这是全部回复？！）, I’m still influenced by the swarm of interest in a new or viral product.
而有时，I take the plunge。
我已经得到了在几个产品/项目吸最近由于非常频繁的Facebook广告，我想我会和他们分享我的经验在这里！
Brooklinen
I’ve been looking for comfortable sheets for a long time and found some wonderful ones atBelk。他们是比尔特莫尔集合我还是爱他们。我想尝试Brooklinen, though, just to see what all the hype was about. I bought theluxe sheet set他们是真正的精彩。我很高兴我的购买。其实，我很高兴我买a lightweight duvetand a duvet cover and it may be the best bedding purchase I’ve ever made. My husband and I tend to get hot when we sleep and this light duvet is perfect for us. Naturally my dang cats (looking at you, Grits），所以我需要购买回来的时候这个当前的羽绒被变得太碎我喜欢了已经撕开有孔。
Virtue
I saw a few ads about this haircare line on Facebook, then met someone who works atVirtueat a Madewell event a few months back. She really sold me on the product line after explaining thenew keratin molecule they discoveredand infused into their haircare products. I bought the volume line and the recovery line and I really like both! I get a bit of extra static electricity in my hair after using the volume conditioner, but I did find it to be a nice, light option for those looking for extra lift!
我一个m looking to explore more of their line once I run out of my sample sizes of shampoo and conditioner!
Flamingo
I had seen a few ads about this razor on facebook, and then I saw it displayed in beautiful packaging at an end cap at Target. Iquickly snatched it off the shelfand couldn’t wait to shave my legs with it.
Ultimately, it left much to be desired. I was looking for a smooth, buttery soft finish but I found I had to really drag it against my legs a few times to get a clean shave. I had previously used aVenus Comfortglide已建在它周围的剃须膏。我使用的剃须膏与火烈鸟剃须刀，但它只是没有打击我走开。
I’ll stick with my 12-pack from Costco of the Venus refills for now!
I’m curious, have you bought anything from a facebook or IG ad that lived up the hype?!
I liked this content idea! I hope you do more!
I second this! Such a good thought.
同意!别人需要时它总是好的plunge first. Haha!
第三！
同意!!
同意！精彩的内容！
I bought Bombas socks and Tommy John underwear after seeing many Facebook Ads and they BOTH live up to the hype. I am a fan for life!!
Bombas are fantastic!!
爱我的袜子邦巴斯！
My hubby and I both wear Tommy Johns. Expensive but so worth it! Life changing as my hubby says! Been looking at Bombas recently. Think I’ll check them out.
我真的只是去和阅读此评论之后买了一些邦巴斯。大声笑！
Agree on the Bombas (and haven’t tried Tommy Johns yet), but for truly no-show socks that are also totally worth the social media hype, try Invisisox! They are extremely comfortable no-show socks that don’t hurt the top of the foot after a couple hours and don’t slide down into your shoe. I’ve had mine for a year or so and just ordered a new batch (because my teen daughters have been stealing them!)
I have wondered about
这些。感谢分享。
喜欢这个，谢谢你的分享！我看到我的社交媒体供稿这么多的广告，有时很难破译哪些产品将是巨大的或没有。我还没有尝试过火烈鸟，但我已经试过比利。这是一种类似的概念，但它的所有在线预订。我绝对喜欢它，并发现比利剃须刀是唯一剃须刀以往任何时候都没有给我的皮肤敏感剃！他们肯定是用黄油离开手感柔软你所提到的，对于一个真正的好价钱。
I loveeee Billie razors too. Affordable, easy and cute. Definitely recommend.
I second this! I love Billie!
是的!! Billie is great! If y’all use my link we both get a pink tax rebate! Woo!http://fbuy.me/mzqvf
Same for me! I previously used Dollar Shave Club, but Billie razors are my favorite by far. I shave my legs so much more often now that I don’t get razor burn every time I shave!
是的!The Billie razors are amazing!!
Love my Billie razor too! Sooo good and affordable!
我想这可能是一个打击，或错过！我听说了很多关于Brooklinen床上用品之前，所以我毫不怀疑它的好！感谢分享这个，凯特！这样一个有趣的阅读！

I bought Brooklinen sheets, as well, after seeing ads on Instagram. They are wonderful! Love them so much!
Thanks for the feedback! I get suckered into buying hyped up products but it just leaves me more disappointed when they don’t work out and not everyone likes the same things.

Thanks for sharing! Always curious about those ads so please do more of these as you experiment. I have purchase a Lange wand after seeing an ad and love it! It really works great. I have also tried my husbands dollar shave club razor and hate it. It definitely does not give a nice smooth shave. I am obsessed with lashes so I am curious if you have tried any of the fiber or other social media mascaras that have been floating around.
Love my L’ange wand! It’s the best I’ve ever used!
我一个lso bought the flamingo after I saw you had purchased it (IG story maybe?) and had run out of refills for my Venus. I’ve been let down as well. I was so hopeful it would be similar to the Venus, but alas nothing seems to compare.
I have followed the hype for the L’ange hair products and love their curling wand. Not a huge fan of the actual spray products though. I’ve been intrigued by the charcoal toothpaste but haven’t tried it yet!
I love the Native Charcoal toothpaste, Body wash, and Deodorant.
Native deodorant. I was very skeptical, but I LOVE it and the coconut smell is great.
是的!爱乡土，绝对值得炒作，加上订阅功能非常方便。
同意!! Native is the best!
I bought the Type A deodorant & have been really happy with it!! I’ve tried a variety of other natural deodorant brands, and this is definitely one of the best. One product I see/hear about I kind of want to try is MeUndies.
But it is dicey! I bought some of the imitation Lego dinos & there’s a definite difference in quality & customer service was dicey.
Rachel-
我没有为自己做MeUndies，但我得到了我的丈夫在圣诞节订阅和他爱自己的拳击手。该材料是软suuuper和图案是可爱。我喜欢，我们得从几个选项挑出模式。他们保持良好洗涤过！
本机除味剂是那么好！我丈夫甚至他的跑出来，在紧要关头使用矿难发生后转换。他还没有切换回到他的老除臭剂。哈！我们爱香草香味椰子！
This was a GREAT post!!! I always wondered if certain items were worth the hype. Please consider making this a monthly feature. You could name it Trust it or Bust it. Hahaha! Just my thoughts. Love your blog content!
I bought a Burst electric toothbrush and I love it!
Agree re: flamingo blades. I won’t buy again. And I left a review on target’s site because the reviews there all seemed spammy.
我讨厌火烈鸟剃刀！这可能是我用过的最糟糕的剃刀。我们去右后卫对美元剃须俱乐部。
我试图火烈鸟，恨他们。他们在2天内生锈。使用美元剃须俱乐部在过去的几年中，我一直和我真的很喜欢他们。我用金星从Costco的之前。我一直在看广告比利剃须刀，所以我想他们和我LOOVE他们。他们是订阅服务（我喜欢），但我的腿从来没有觉得更流畅！说真的，他们是我在几年尝试过的最好的剃须刀。
跳台剃刀链，我想比利和绝对喜欢它。看起来很别致，它的最佳剃刀我都用过。我不是男人的剃须刀火车。他们刺激我的皮肤。我以前用的金星拥抱。我还是喜欢金星，但更喜欢比利·
The Billie razor (found it on a Facebook ad) is hands down the best razor I’ve ever used!!!! I’ve never had such a close shave before! Definitely worth trying!
REALLY? I need to try it!!
喜欢这个帖子！I’m also in the market for new bed linens, so I’ll be giving those a try. Also….the only thing I liked about the Flamingo razor was the packaging. Other than that…won’t be re-purchasing. My skin felt dry and the blades didn’t feel smooth against my skin at all. I also have the Billie razor which gives me a great, close, buttery soft shave.

你的意思是假装的评论或他们实际上网和发布评论？

这是layerable气味的自然气息线。他们有一个有趣的测验，看看你的气味的偏好可能是什么，他们也有很大的样本包处理他们所有的气味。I’ve at minimum sampled 100% of them (even as they come out with new ones.) And only not liked 1. I’ve bought full-size bottles of all but two of them, and travel rollies of 3 of them + am now using their subscription scents. Really the only thing I’ve purchased from them and not loved is a cupcake candle that was too strong. My faves are Isle, Capri, Arrow, and Meadow (in that order) and I’ve layered combos of all of those and love them. I’m wearing Meadow/Capri today.
我不知道这是社会媒体炒作啊r just hearing it on the radio but the Dollar Shave club razors are THE BEST razors my husband and I have ever used. I’ve always thought men’s razors worked better than women’s and these do not disappoint.
相同！！
是的!! I don’t usually do subscriptions, but Dollar Shave Club is awesome. Their shaving gel is also amazing. I get the closest shave. And it’s super affordable!
I love the Dollar Shave Club razors and shave butter! They are seriously the best razors ive ever used. And they are so inexpensive.
Tommy Johns advertise all over XM radio. I decided I would get some for my husband for Christmas. He said they live up to the hype & really are worth $36.00 a pair! I have been buying them a few at a time since they are an investment. I have also tried Thrive mascara on Facebook ads. It is amazing! Gives me incredible length! My teenage daughters also love it and asked for their own tube. A fail was True & Co bras. It gave me no support so I sent it back. I didn’t get a refund until I asked where is my refund ?
Lan’ge, not sure I spelt it correctly?
但我等过他们的广告，我买了他们的魔杖时，它是第一个被广告，而且我一直很失望，他们有可怕的客户服务。
I tried a lip gloss your si add ter recommended and have loved it, and a mascara she recommended and loved it.
The Pony-O! A friend and I talked about it for a long time but thought it was crazy to buy one holder for $20. She bought me one for my bday as sort of a joke and well jury’s out and I love it! I do t use it every time I put my hair in a pony but it gives excellent volume and looks so styled.
I’ve almost bought that a zillion times!
我目前正试图美容洗发水和护发的功能。我已经使用了将近一个星期，我不是超级至今印象深刻。直到它消失了，但现在，这不是吹我走，我会使用它。
I do love my Boie scrubber though and adore my Billie razor
喜欢这个岗位。我同意，这将是一个伟大的重复列。我试图Betabrand瑜伽连衣裙裤子（口袋）和Rothy的鞋子。都喜欢！
我一直都在怀疑Rothy的鞋子了。很高兴知道。
哈利的剃须刀是最好的剃须刀给我！他们是专门给男人，但给我刮胡子最接近。而且没有剃。很肯定的火烈鸟剃须刀是基于哈利的的。我也没有像火烈鸟剃刀。
我也得到了在通过在目标的火烈鸟剃刀的可爱包装吸这是一个困难没有从我这里！金星的女孩在这里呢！
I have almost gotten sucked in but then I read reviews of companies and decide not to. Also something to consider…. I use a double edged razor (I think it was $20) I got from Amazon (gotta love Amazon) and bought a 30 blade refill for $5 and it’s the BEST and closest shave I have ever had. I shave daily but could skip a day or two even , it’s so close!!!
I bought quip toothbrushes for me and my son. They are great, and the kids watermelon toothpaste was a hit. I love that it automatically sends me new toothbrush heads on a regular schedule.
Quip! I love my quip toothbrush. I’ve been using it for over a year and have had extremely positive feedback at each of my dentist visits since then. I switched from a Sonicare brush – love that the brush head refills are so much cheaper and you don’t have to charge the brush. Here’s my referral link if you’re interested: getquip.com/rf?referral_code=gretchen733019021462
我一个lso love my Billie razor and Bombas socks – I need to order some more socks!
Thanks Kate and all for sharing, I love reading these comments to see what everyone else has had success with (or hated!).
我买了美容和精品一些化妆。我爱的面纱亲吻肌肤的基础上，面纱肤色修正，以及腮红。
The makeup is great at evening out my skin tone, toning down my age spots, but still letting my skin Pre-K through. My spots are still visible, but I feel beautiful in their makeup. I’m a natural kind of girl, don’t like a lot of makeup, and hate for me to get lost in the makeup.
I got sucked into Billie but I have a love/hate with them… I love the handle and the magnetic holder but it gives me razor burn way more often than I’d like. I also HATE the slimy soap bar that surrounds the blades. It’s gross on underarms. I did see an update that they are changing to a charcoal formula, so I’m going to give them one more delivery to see if I like that better. Right now, I’m debating the Overtone color shampoo/conditioner that keeps coming up for me on Instagram and FB (I have purple hair at the moment) and I think I might try it.!
I used Overtone when my hair was purple and loved it! There’s also a company called Vivid that makes a purple shampoo that I really liked.
泛音是惊人的！我的头发总是感觉使用后很大。我用的是极端的紫色来维持我的颜色。
我用安全剃刀。我买了工具一次，然后叶片约$条一切半年，也许。无胶，无浪费，没有什么大惊小怪的，没有搞乱。没有剃，无毛堆积，没有任何问题。
你们讨厌复杂。
I’ve been using Function of Beauty for over a year now and I love it. The big bottles last me over four months! I also use a Quip toothbrush, and love it too. So much so I bought my boyfriend one!
Thanks, ladies! I just subscribed for the Billie razor. Can’t wait to try it. I have very sensitive skin.
Hi Laurie
I have sensitive skin and the Billie works great for me. I hope you like it too
喜欢这个帖子！我被吸进从天狼广告购买铃及支行床单和绝对爱他们！我真的应该让步，摆脱我的其他工作表，因为我洗了B＆B的床单只是不断地再次使用它们，而忽略我的壁橱其它纸张。
我丈夫和我爱美元刮胡子俱乐部！所以便宜，剃须刀都精彩！我丈夫用自己刮胡子太奶油，真正喜欢它。再加上他们邮寄给你一个月，所以我们设置与和2手柄4个剃须刀！你一定要检查出来！P. S.我没有支付这么说！
I just saw this the other day and thought about getting the sampler pack. I’m always leary of the reviews on the ad, as I wonder if a robot wrote them.
The Dollar Shave Club is awesome!
I too have a wand. I want to like it, but I think my next hair appliance will be the Babyliss that Kate uses. I bought a Lange straightening iron fro TJ Maxx and am not too impressed with it either. I have also seen Head Candy, and wondered about their products. I’d like to try the straightening brush so my hair isn’t so limp after straightening.
I love this series! More please!
我买的布卢姆痤疮油已遍布Facebook和它为我的青春痘问题的领域有了很大的。我目前感到惊讶。
Oh my goodness, that picture ofGravy is everything!!!!! LOVE!
I’m so glad to see your Flamingo review because I just about grabbed it off the shelf at Target the other day. It was so pretty! My cart was full of Easter basket goodies for my kids so I decided to save it for another day. It looks like I’ll be sticking with my Venus razor also! =)
I tried Flamingo waxing strips based on a blog post. They don’t work at all!
我从买的Insta地段和FB从人，我跟着增加或建议。我最喜欢的事情就是活生生的证据干的洗发水。是我最是我的比利剃须刀。我发现它是黄油顺利，他们比金星笔芯便宜。
感谢分享您喜爱的产品和那些不太获得晋级。我是一个巨大的风扇！
呃是我买的火烈鸟剃须刀，因为它就是这么可爱！但不是一个伟大的剃须刀，很遗憾。想我已经看到了这首！
I’ve recently tried at least one maybe 2 things from social media ads. The one I KNOW was from ads was trying Thrive Causmetics. I’d gotten ads for months before I broke down and tried it and I’m in love. They are just as amazing as the pictures and videos make them look. Seriously the FIRST eyeliner I can put on my waterline without issue and it does stay on allllllll day no mater what! And the cc cream is like wearing a photo filter. I’m sold! LOL
The other one I’m not 100% sure was from an ad but I think so- Prose Shampoo and Conditioner, which is one of the customized ones. My go to Oaui was out of stock so I tried it. Not only am I hooked my hair dresser asked what I was doing differently because my lowlights were staying in so much better than usual. Totally worth trying! I’m now actually on the subscription program (I never subscribe) so I can save the 20%. I miss the smell of the Ouai but….my hair is in love with it’s customized shampoo and conditioner.
I bought my husband a Frankfurter Brett for Christmas last year after seeing them repeatedly in Facebook ads- we both really like it., and use it daily.

我买了很多东西，从Instagram的。服装，jewerely，鞋子。互联网是一个巨大的知识基础。例如，你可以找到数学，统计或生物教师。https://domyhomeworkfor.me/the best online writing service.
我总是对可爱的衣服碎片，人们链接吸盘。大多数时候，我一个没有失望，但以往任何时候都经常我会得到一个装备一块是不是真的，他们是如何描述的笑。很棒的帖子，感谢分享。希望你有一个可爱的复活节！

我也被卷入了市场营销和火烈鸟剃刀的可爱的包装和绝对讨厌它！这就像跑干黄油刀下来你的腿。我用了一个很好的高度评价剃须膏和讨厌它！
I bought a pair of leggings from popfit and really like them!
I don’t like this razor either!
爱美德护发！你知道这是一个基于罗利的公司？我还没有看到它标榜的社会化媒体，但我在蓝水星偶然发现了它（在北山，罗利）几个月前，我已经爱了！
我很好奇你的小猫我不知道为什么你没有他们declawed？我知道有些人认为这是可怕的和不人道的。我爱我的百合可能超过我的丈夫，但有时她总是，总是在室内，我们作出决定，declaw拯救我们的理智和她做精。当然，我检查了约20个名额，以确保它正确完成，不会伤害她。我也有其他的2只猫我的前妻不让我已经和declawed他们，他们住的房子与3个大狗在那里举行自己只是好奇。
As for things I have been pressured to buy from social media the list is to long
最糟糕的收购是绉擦除它的工作原理可爱的，当你把它作为一个快速解决。
第二眼圈布朗特博士行李我已经使用这样的产品之前，我的生活妆永远不会超过它的蛋糕了看起来可怕。
I recently bought the Billie razer and I love it! It gives me a really close shave that I actually would venture to say is even better than the one I get with my Venus razor. I also love the magnetic holder that comes with it too, it’s so convenient.
是的!我是一个早期采用者的手提箱了bout three years ago, when they were advertising primarily on insta. Have never been happier with a suitcase. Also I discovered the site Of a Kind via instagram and bought the most beautiful necklace. It’s a collection of individual artists and makers, and there are some wonderful, unique pieces.
我的姐姐和妈妈有一个客场袋子，我也可以效仿！
我更换了所有我们与美国•伯伊身体洗涤丝瓜络沐浴洗涤器。我不断看到Instagram上的广告。我花了几天来习惯抱着它，但现在我真的很喜欢它。不知道我的丈夫不还，但他没有选择！当然还有我3岁的爱擦洗在浴缸！她不在乎它是什么样子的，只要它使气泡。他们卖牙刷也... ..not知道如果我想试试吗？
