Influenced to buy item mentioned in a MoneyDiaries?

Have you ever been influenced to buy something from a MoneyDiary?
As far as I remember, only one time have I been influenced. And it's such a silly thing but I signed up for the Walmart Beauty Box after it was mentioned in a diary years ago. (It's a cheaper version of Ipsy) It was only $5 a quarter and I get so many random little travel size beauty/makeup products and have found some really good ones over the past 2-3 years I have subscribed. I generally am not a believer in subscriptions. But this one is now around $7 a quarter and just getting to try so many things makes it worth it for me. Most of the time I don't like all of them, or don't end up using one or two of the things. But it still is such a drop in the bucket once every 3 months for the random gold medal item that I keep getting it.

So, having just received my Walmart Beaty Box, it made me think. Has anyone else has bought anything mentioned in a Money Diary because it was mentioned, and what your opinion of the item?

Edit: Excuse the weird title, I changed it around and obviously did not proof-read.
