Forever Repurchased #10

 

forever repurchased the balm down boy review

Fun fact – after my empties posts, these are my favourite to write up but always receive the least engagement haha so if you are reading or commenting, thank you! Coming up to Christmas, my spending was in full force and it resulted in a few repurchases of products I had either run out of or wanted to replace! 

 

the balm down boy blush review

First up, The Balm Down Boy and my original version of this is the oldest blush in my collection at this point! It’s very well loved (although no pan :() and has been on countless trips with me because as well as being in very sturdy packaging even though it’s only cardboard, the baby pink matte shade is super flattering, not too pigmented and lasts all day on my normally oily skin! It is also very reasonably priced at £13 (I got mine from Look Fantastic where there is always a discount as well!) I never hear The Balm talked about much anymore and this shade was out of stock on a few other websites so I just bit the bullet and repurchased as knowing my luck it will be discontinued or something!

Next up is another replacement in the form of Essie Bahama Mama! I got rid of a lot of nail polishes in my collection a couple of years ago as apart from two, I never wore them and they were just sitting there. Bahama Mama was one of the two and I thought it was finally time to treat myself to a new bottle as mine again was very well loved and the formula was getting a bit gloopy with whatever was left. This is the most perfect plum, burgundy shade and it’s opaque in two coats. I also wanted to replace Essie Midnight Cami aswell but unfortunately this seems to be discontinued which I am gutted about!  

 

The Becca Backlight Priming Filter has been a constant in my makeup collection for the last few years albeit in mini form as I kept getting them in GWP’s from Cult Beauty then Sephora. I picked up the value set at Christmas as I love having it in my routine! I don’t use this to make my makeup last longer but I do use it to add glow (not glitter) and blur imperfections. It’s a pearlescent cream that adds luminosity and as a matte foundation and powder lover, this gives my makeup the little somethin’ somethin’ that it can sometimes be missing. I also used to love their liquid shimmering skin perfector and I would mix that into foundation but it seems like it’s been discontinued!

 

A couple of skincare items next and I repurchased the Cerave Eye Repair Cream before I had even finished my first one! It’s the perfect, simple eye cream and works well to hydrate round my eyes! It contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid and targets dark circles and puffiness too! I find my fine lines aren’t as noticeable and while my circles aren’t that dark it helps to decrease my puffiness! It also sinks in quickly and sits well under my makeup as well as feeling hydrating enough overnight too!

 

Finally, the Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner which at this point features in every other post on my blog so I won’t harp on about it for too long! Basically this is the best hydrating toner I have tried and even though I have a couple other hydrating toners on the go and didn’t necessarily “need” this one right away I ordered it when there was a discount so it’s ready to go! It contains seven ingredients in a gel like formula and it is just perfect for my sensitive skin right now! It’s go gentle, cooling and hydrating and I totally get the hype surrounding it!

 

So that’s a roundup of my latest forever repurchased products! Do you own any of these? What’s one beauty product you always repurchase?

Forever Repurchased #9

Good morning! I’ve been doing some shopping recently so thought I’d quickly talk through the repurchases that have made the cut for me! 

tigi small talk OUAI North Bondi review

If you have read my blog for any length of time you may know what a huge fan I am of OUAI! They are hands down my favourite haircare brand and a few years ago they released some perfumes of the signature scents of their products! I’ve just finished my original North Bondi which I got back last summer and immediately repurchased it as I am obsessed with the scent! I am no good at explaining scents and it’s such a personal thing anyway as they smell different on everyone but here are the notes for anyone interested and it smells like the wave spray and leave in conditioner: 
Top Notes: Bergamot, Apple Blossom, Raspberry, Italian Lemon
Heart Notes: Rose de Mai, Jasmine, Violet
Base Notes: Patchouli, Sandalwood, White Musk
Trusty old Look Fantastic also had 20% off so I may have treated myself to Melrose Place too hehe. I don’t find this the longest lasting perfume I’ve ever had but that might be due to the fact I can barely smell it off myself though I always get compliments when I wear it J

This is one of my most long term hair loves but I’m not sure it’s ever featured on my blog before! I think this may be my 3rdor 4thbottle and I know I definitely left one behind in Canada and had to chuck an old one I found when I got home! It’s a thickening cream you add to damp hair which doesn’t weigh my fine hair down at all, gives it more body through the ends, hydrates and smooths it and you guessed it, makes it look thicker! It smells like blueberries and I am so glad to have it back in my life and I am already noticing I am picking my split ends less! I would really recommend shopping round for it as it’s always on offer, I actually got this in Home Bargains for £4.99, they have such a great hair section! 

Did anyone else take advantage of the Boots offer the other week when this was £10? Again, it’s been a while since this was in my collection but I am so excited to reintroduce it as I used to love it! It’s the perfect gentle exfoliant to use daily and with consistent use I always used to see improvements in my skin texture and leftover scarring. 

I’ve received these previously through PR but you know it’s good when you continuously repurchase them yourself! I’ve been going through hand cream at a rate of knots at the minute and couldn’t wait to get these back in my collection after using up some ones I had in my stash already! They are lightweight but so hydrating and they sink in quickly and smell so fresh! Can’t recommend them enough! 

I finally found some Tresemme Dry Shampoo! This was my go to brand when I lived in Canada as it was so affordable, left no white cast and give my hair some added volume! Hoping it’s the same formula here, I’ll be sure to report back! 

I’d love to know if you have been making any purchases recently? I was so good for so long but have went a bit crazy recently! Still waiting on a few to be delivered then I might do a round up haul post!

Forever Repurchased #8

Hi everyone! This post has been in my drafts for a little while now but I am excited to post it and talk about some products that are constant repurchases for me! 

olaplex no3 review bitch perfect beautyblender

First up is the Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector, this is my second bottle and won’t be the last! I love how this makes my hair feel! I have super dry ends that split very quickly due to heat styling and this makes them feel and look 10x better than any other product I have used in the past. I try to leave it on as long as possible which is usually about 2-3 hours for me then wash out and use shampoo and conditioner as normal. When my hair is dry it looks and feels so healthy, soft and less damaged! It’s £26 so not the cheapest hair treatment but well worth the money and I feel it lasts me pretty well as I use it about once a week (I wash my hair every 2-3 days). 

Revlon ColorStay Foundation for Combination/Oily Skin in Buff is my number one affordable foundation and one I have lost count of how many I have repurchased! Perfect for my skin type, full coverage and long-lasting this is a constant affordable repurchase for me and Buff is the perfect shade for me when I have no tan on!

Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Bitch Perfect is probably my favourite lipstick and this is the third time I have repurchased! I actually got this quite a while ago when House of Fraser had an offer on and it was £13 down from its normal £25. It’s a gorgeous moisturising formula and is a peachy pink nude that works perfectly under the lip cheat in Pillowtalk which is my preferred combo!

Burt’s Bees 100% Natural Lip Balm is my favourite on the go lip balm, it moisturises really well and it lasts long in the tube and on the lips and I love the peppermint scent! 

The original Beautyblender can’t be beaten in my opinion and is the only tool I use to apply my foundation! It leaves me with a streak free finish which I just can’t get with brushes or other sponges. Although its pricey I find them long-lasting and with proper care they each last me about 6 months with daily use so well worth the money in my opinion! 

Have you tried any of these before? What’s your most repurchased beauty item?

Forever Repurchased #7

Welcome back! I have a few products I want to mention today that I have recently repurchased as I hate being without them in my routine! As a side note I took a bunch of photos last weekend for blog posts but who knows if they will ever see the light of day, I enjoy taking photos but can’t seem to find the time to do the write ups! 

skincare essentials dr jart origins vichy january labs mabel and meg

I first discovered this cream last winter in Canada and boy oh boy did I fall in love! This works so well with my dehydrated skin keeping moisture locked in all day long and soothing my skin. It doesn’t feel greasy and a little goes a long way so the tube lasts ages and it also works really well as a primer! An absolute must have! I got mine on offer at Look Fantastic just after Christmas! 

This actually featured not so long ago but I couldn’t resist including it again as I repurchased so soon! This overnight mask has been a staple in my routine for years and I have lost count of how many minis and full sizes I have gone through! It feels amazing overnight and I always wake up to soft, plump skin! 

Another Origins favourite (their face masks really are the best!) and another one I hate not having in my routine! This leaves my skin feeling super smooth and looking clearer. It minimises my pores but doesn’t strip my skin and I always come back to this if I am having a breakout as it actually feels like it works with one use! 

Escentual had something ridiculous like 50% off this just before Christmas so I took the opportunity to repurchase! It’s been almost 2 years since I’ve had it in my routine but this use to be one of my favourite skincare products so I have high hopes I will still feel the same! I haven’t opened just yet but I always remember it to be lightweight, cooling and hydrating!

Again, another just before Christmas repurchase and I am bloody glad I did as Cult Beauty aren’t selling the brand anymore! I am gutted about this! This is my favourite facial mist, it’s so refreshing, soothing and hydrating and just works so well with my acne prone skin.  Really hope they get another UK base to sell from as I don’t want custom fees on this one! 

Probably one of my favourite hyaluronic acid serums and I have tried a lot. This one also contains Vitamin C so works really well on pigmentation as well as adding to hydration. It spreads really easily over my face and leaves my skin feeling smooth ready for my next skincare steps! I’ve lost count over how much I have repurchased this one and I will continue to do so! 

So that's my most recent forever repurchased! See any of your favourites here? I have one more of these to finish off but I am currently on my version of a spending ban (a try not to buy) so we'll see how that goes! Haven't bought any makeup or skincare this month so far so hoping it continues!

See my full disclosure here.

Forever Repurchased #6

Hi guys, I’m back with a few more products that are regular repurchases round here so thought I’d quickly chat about them!

ouai rituals alpha h review copy

OUAI Repair Shampoo and Conditioner were originally sent to me as PR many years ago but I repurchase these regularly because I love them so much – the scent is like nothing else, so much so that I also have the perfume version! Scent aside, these are SLS free (my number one thing when looking for hair products) and leave my hair looking shiny and feeling healthy!

I received the Rituals The Ritual of Sakura Foaming Shower Gel as a present for Christmas last year and couldn’t get over how luxurious it felt! So much so, when I got home this summer, I added a bottle into my basket! This has lasted an age and smells so delicate and beautiful, definitely recommend if you want something a bit more lavish in the shower! 

The Alpha-H Liquid Gold is one of my skincare holy grails, I am almost out of this, so I bought the supersize version! This is my favourite overnight exfoliation treatment and I always wake up so smoother, brighter, glowier skin! A staple in my skincare collection! 

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup is my OG foundation and the one I always have in my stash no matter what! Full coverage, perfecting and long lasting this is the BEST foundation for my skin and believe me I have tried a lot! Little bit pricey but worth it and there is always a 20% off code floating about somewhere!

Let me know if you have tried any of the above and what you thought!

Forever Repurchased #5

forever repurchased

Since coming home from Canada, I have been adding some of my favourites back into my routine as I was working on finishing up a lot of products before I left! It is so good to have some firm favourites back in my routine so here are my forever repurchased take 5! 

I have lost count of how many of these I have gone through now after first buying two years ago when I was in Canada. I first dabbled with the pressed version quite a while back but this loose version is 10x better! It mattifies my skin without drying it out, adds subtle extra coverage and a pot lasts ages! Well worth its price tag but I managed to snag this one at 20% off on Feel Unique so always worth shopping around! 

NIOD copper amino isolate 2:1 review

Another slightly new formulation to me, I loved the original version of this and the update is just as good! This serum is such an all-rounder, my skin is always clearer and more even when I use it consistently! It’s also good for aging skin and is just generally very good for the overall health of your skin!  

This is the product that has been out of my routine the longest and one that I am so happy to have back in it! I have dabbled with other rosehip oils but always come back to Trilogy specifically, there is literally one ingredient in rosehip oil so I’m not sure why, but I can feel a difference and this one is my favourite! My skin always feels so nourished and hydrated after every use and it’s a lot brighter and smoother in the mornings! 

One of my favourite overnight treatments, this mask is super hydrating and I always wake up to plump, moisturised skin! I use this several times a week so will definitely buy the full size next time as it’s just so good and I run out of my minis quickly. They recently updated the ingredients to include avocado and swiss glacier water and I was worried the new formulation would be different but I’m happy to say it’s still working just as well for me! 

Another firm favourite in my routine although one that’s getting harder to find! This is very moisturising and brightens my under eye giving a great base for makeup! I used to get it from Cult Beauty but they have stopped stocking them so I hope they are not leaving the UK! 

I actually have a few other products I recently repurchased but didn’t want this post to be a massive essay, maybe I will do another one soon! If you’d like to see the previous posts in this series, please see below! What is one product you can’t do without? 

See #1, #2, #3 and #4 in this series!
