Last week on my Instagram stories, we went through some of the most hyped-up brands on Instagram and voted on whether they were worth it or not. I’d love to continue the conversation!
Let’s chat: Have you bought any products you saw on Instagram? Tell us which ones you loved and which ones were overhyped! Let’s help each other out — I’ll chime in with my comments too!

I get so many ads for the natural make up brand ilia. First I tried the foundation which was just ok for me but now I’m using their super serum and really like it!
I don’t own OV’s exercise dress but I have ordered and tried it on. I returned because I couldn’t justify the $100 price tag with no built in bra. I just bought the GF Undress and used some points I accumulated from buying their leggings (which I LOVE) so I got the dress for pretty cheap :D. I love the built in bra + shorts. I also felt like the neckline was much more flattering for me than OV’s exercise dress. I have broad shoulders so the racer cut neckline works for me & I don’t have a large chest (B cup) so I am perfectly fine with the built in bra.
I'll start!! I just bought some Static Nail polish recently as suggested by my friend Greer! It's a little pricey, but it dries really fast and definitely lasts longer than most polishes I wear. I am a fan!
I bought a mirror stained glass from RainbowSolstice on Instagram and loved it! It was almost 100 dollars but it is really nice and it was a gift for my grandma!
I love my Parade underwear and will definitely buy more! They are so comfortable and I love the high waisted options. As for Girlfriend Collective, I’vr tried their leggings and the body suit and am overall disappointed. The material really holds odor.
Anese! I was getting so many ads for this brand. It’s a booty scrub but so great for exfoliating everywhere, I was unsure about it at first but I love it haha - thumbs up for that one (except kind of pricey for the amount it comes with).
I'm curious about exercise dresses from brands like Outdoor Voices and Girlfriend Collective. They look so cute and functional but should I pay $100 for one (Outdoor Voices)? Seems steep! I'm curious about more affordable options. Girlfriend Collective has one for $78.
I can’t speak to OV’s exercise dresses, but I have 2 pairs of jogger pants from OV, and I’ve worn at least one of them almost every day for 3-4 years now and they’re still holding up really well and to me it’s been money very well spent.
I bought Parade a few months ago and am loving them!! My faves are the replay thongs. SUPER comfy. And if you buy them in a pack, you get a discount the more you buy so they come out to be about the same amount as Victoria’s Secret but much better quality. I’m definitely going to purchase again
The Parade Universal underwear is the absolute best, it’s so soft and comfortable/flattering!! I’ve been told to stay away from Parade’s mesh styles because they don’t last very long and rip, but the universal ones are amazing and come in such fun colors :)
I’ve been seeing a lot of ads for the Light Phone II, it’s some sort of minimalist phone, and I’m very intrigued. Has anyone else seen these ads? Or has anyone tried one?
I ordered the Prose customized hair-care a few weeks ago and loving it so far! I wasn't sure it if it would be worth it, but my hair is definitely lighter and bouncier and feeling healthier. I'm also obsessed with my Girlfriend Collective leggings - so comfortable and great for yoga, plus their recycled!
My sister loves Prose too! That's good to know. I love Girlfriend Collective too!! They have the best colors, and the fact that it's made from recycled materials is amazing. I also love how they use diverse models
That's absurd!! I've found that local nurseries are the best for plants! Some people like The Sill, but I still think it's a wee bit pricier than necessary

I love the OV exercise dress! So comfy. So cute. Love the material and the full bodysuit attached to the dress is 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Curious about the Subtle Makeup Stack?! Anyone tried it?

Someone responded about this on a different thread, just FYI!

I can vouch that he really wears these every single day...
I'm so curious about Parade underwear and all of the cheap-ish jewelry brands... but not curious enough to make a purchase yet!
I’ve tried parade! A couple pairs were super comfy and some were just ok but overall I like it!!!

I love Prose! I feel like it’s really
Improved my hair texture and has made my hair so much shinier!
Went to look at potted plants on Instagram and some of them are upwards of $500-$600! Not really fitting my price range for that kind of thing 😳
$500?? What kind of plants are these?! Lol
