Instant Repurchase

Though I rotate cosmetics like there is no tomorrow, often I stick with some star products from the lineup. A product has to absolutely knock it out of the park for me to repurchase, so for these to jump back into the stash instantly speaks volumes!

Face of Australia Liquid Liner – This was originally a PR sample which I adored. I misplaced it, and ran out to grab another one quick smart. I then found the first, so have two floating around my stash and both are still going strong with no sign of drying out. This comes with a fine brush style tip and is a deep inky black. I was terrible at liquid liner before I learnt with this brush, and now I have the confidence to use lots of different sorts of liquid liners! A game changer, and affordable to boot.

Bioderma Crealine H20 – Ah Bioderma, the cult favourite that came into my world and swept me off my feet. Again this originally came to me via PR, I have repurchased this quite a few times now and still love it for the initial cleanse each night. I have temporarily put it on the backburner in an effort to show love to (aka use up!) my other cleansing waters and oils, but when they bite the dust it is me and this guy (and Dermalogica Preclease, 3 peas in a pod)

Lush Lip Scrubs – I change up the flavour every time, but keep going back to this little jar of soft lip-making goodness. Basically a sugar and deliciousness blend, this is an easier option for me as I can’t be bothered making my own lip scrub. Tastes deliciously sweet (duh!) and comes in a bunch of flavours, this is well worth the cash.

Guerlain Champs Elysees – I think everyone has that ‘one scent’ that just suits them perfectly and makes them feel a million dollars, and this is the one for me! Quite a mature fragrance, this is strong and makes me feel powerful and in charge. I’ve gone through bottle after bottle of this, and am looking forward to picking up yet another one from Paris on our honeymoon a few years down the track.

Rimmel Match Perfection Cr̬me-Gel Foundation РYet another love that first came to me via PR! I fear this is discontinued now that the new bottled version has taken its place on the drugstore shelves, so I am planning on stocking up when I find some in my shade in a discount bin. A foundation that covers it all but looks just like skin (seriously, it is undetectable!) this is my HG formula.


What products are instant repurchases for you? Do you tend to chop and change as much as I do, or are you loyal to a few key players in your beauty team?

    1. @Sammi Darling I agree, all of the products I've used from Bioderma are great. Another great French brand is Uriage, PR introduced me to them and their stuff is just as great, have you heard of them?

  4. Love those lip scrubs from LUSH! I have yet to really decide on some repurchased or HG's off the top of my head in most makeup ranges as I have bought so much in recent years that I have yet to need to repurchase particular items over and over again. I hope to work my way through the collection and be able to do a proper post like this one day though!
    Really want to try the makeup remover by Bioderma though cause have run out of all others and am not impressed.

    1. @Dustyn I have a few alternatives to all of these but always reach for them more, that is when you know it is love :) I wouldn't call Bioderma a makeup remover 100%, it is more a precleanser which also takes off makeup you know? However you use it, it is WELL worth a try :) x

  5. I have so many backups of Bioderma, it's almost embarrassing. Almost.

  6. I never even saw that Rimmel Gel Creme thing here! They skipped us entirely. :(

    There was a time when I was in love with Champs Elysees even though I never actually owned a bottle. Must go a-sniffin' and see if the love is still there. :)

  7. I have heard many great things about Bioderma... as usual we can´t buy it here in Finland but I have never tried it which is a good thing... cause I can´t crave anything I haven´t tried ;) Well I can but you know what I mean ;D
    I have three things that I always re-purchase.. 1) Maybelline The Colossal Volum´ Express mascara. This is, hands down, the best mascara I have EVER tried. My lashes are rather short and straight and they seldom hold their curl but this mascara work wonders :) 2) Lumene Natural Code Eye Dramatizer Eye Intensifier eyeliner pen (the only eyeliner that I can use to line my waterlines without my eyes turning red and itchy and 3) Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner (best gel liner I have EVER tried) :)
    Hugs
    xx
