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!

Hand Cream Heroes ft. Nivea

nivea hand cream review

As a hand cream fiend, I like to have one in my handbag and one on my bedside table at all times and being a huge fan of Nivea, I was excited to see their recently relaunched range! Through the winter, I feel myself reaching for hand cream more often than usual because of things like central heating drying my hands out as well as just generally washing my hands a lot. These all serve to make my hands a little more delicate so I’m glad I’m set for the next few months with these beauties!

The Nivea Express Care hand cream* (RRP £2.99) has an ultralight formula with natural Sea Minerals for an instant moisture boost. The Nivea Smooth Care hand cream* (RRP £2.99) with shea butter makes hands smooth all day long and the Nivea Anti-age care hand cream* (RRP £3.89) with Q10 and UV filters visibly reduces the first signs of aging with regular use. There is a total of five hand creams in the range also including a nourishing care with almond oil and a repair care with provitamin B5 so there’s more than enough to choose from!

All three Nivea hand creams I have offer 24-hour care, intense nourishment and protection from the winter elements and I love how quickly each of the creams sink in! A massive pet peeve of mine when it comes to hand cream are those that leave my hands feeling oily or greasy after its been rubbed in but these are so moisturising and offer instant relief from dryness without feeling sticky or like they don’t absorb!

The hand creams have slightly different scents but all are lightweight and have that classic Nivea freshness underpinned! The new pebble-like packaging fits perfectly in the palm of my hand and has a NARS-esque rubberised feel making it lovely and soft to hold. No more sharp edges here!

Nivea hand cream anti age review

For comparison, I’ve popped my current handbag hand cream against the new version – my old one is a mini 30ml tube while the new versions I have are 75ml so you can see how compact they are!

I can’t recommend Nivea hand creams enough, they are so good at what they promise to do, sink in quickly and leave my hands feeling soft and hydrated for hours, as well as being super affordable!  

The hand creams are available at most leading retailers including Boots where it’s currently 1/3 off! What’s your favourite hand cream?
