Forever Repurchased #1

As a beauty blogger, I love to try new products every time I can. However, there are some products that I have tried out and I know there are almost irreplaceable because I have enjoyed them. You can almost classify them as my HG (Holy Grail) products and they are the ones I call my Forever Repurchased. I will repurchase a product if I absolutely enjoyed it and I don’t have any other product that provides the same results within the same price range. Most of these products already have reviews (of course they do unless they wouldn't make it to this list) and I will link them where relevant. Let’s jump right in...

Soap and Glory Archery Brow Filling Pencil// £8.00 // Link //Review

I doubt if I would ever stop repurchasing this eye brow pencil because it is seriously amazing. I tried out the Makeup Revolution version but it was not the same thing at all. The nib of this pencil is so precise and narrow that it mimics your natural eyebrow hairs. I have gone through at least 6-8 of these brow pencils and I have no regrets. I personally think they are the closest dupe to the Anastasia Brow Wiz pencils. I think I may even prefer them to the ABH because they are more affordable and easier to find. The only downside is that there are only two shades: Blonde Shell and Hot Chocolate.

L’Oreal Super Liner Felt Tip Eye Liner //£6.99 (currently £4.89 on ASOS) // Link // Review

I know, I know, I always mention this eyeliner every chance I have but can you blame me? I have repurchased this countless times since 2012/13 and I don’t know if I would ever stop. It is one of the easiest liquid/felt tip eyeliners I have ever used and it lasts for a long time. It is an intense black colour and it does not budge no matter how many times I rub my eyes. It’s just perfect although I think I may be  loving the L’Oreal Super Star Eyeliner more than this as it has slightly more control.  Anyway, time will tell which one steals the HG spot this year.


Collection Pressed Powder// £1.99// Link 
I am pretty sure you may have seen this product pop up a couple of times on this blog and that's simply because it is amazing. This is not my first time trying out the Collection Pressed Powder but I only discovered the Translucent Powder this year. It is one of the best setting powders I have ever used and it has transformed many dewy or wet looking foundations into a demi matte/velvet finish. I am not a fan of dewy finishes so I am so pleased that this powder makes life so easy for me. It is translucent so it does not add any extra coverage or colour to your face; it just sets and mattifies. Its finely milled texture makes it so easy to dispense and blend. I just love it and had to repurchase a backup. I also use it  to set my under eye concealers and it works really well. The best part is it only costs £1.99...if that's not a bargain, I don't know what is.


L.A. Girl Pro Concealers // Link // from $2.99 or £5.00 // Review
I have just accepted that I must always have at least one L.A. Girl Pro Concealer in my stash. They are just incredible and are even better than some high end concealers I have tried. The wide selection of shades makes it really a unique concealer especially one that is considered drug store. I currently have several backups of my favourite shades but the one I have finished is the shade Fawn. It is perfect for concealing my blemishes and it really holds up well. I have never liked the packaging but I am getting much better using it that I don't mind any more. They don't sell this in drug stores like Boots or Superdrug here in the UK but they sell them in some Hair and Beauty shops. I bought one of them from a store called Beauty Base in Westfield (although it was £5). However, majority of my stash were purchased from Beauty Joint where I can get it for a really cheap amount- $2.99


Revlon Colorstay Concealer // £6.99 // Link // Review
This is another concealer that I always repurchase and I think this may even be my third tube. I adore this concealer because it feel so light and blends in really well which is why I reserve it for under my eyes. It is one of the few concealers that does not crease on me at all and it brightens any dark circles. I just love everything about it. Whenever there is a 3 for 2 offer in Boots or Superdrug, I always stock up because it's just one concealer I know I would always reach for.

Boots Botanics All Bright Cleansing Toner // currently £1.99 // Link // Review

I showed this in my Empties Video and it’s just one toner I keep repurchasing. I can’t really pin point the exact change it has made to my skin but I just love it. I have used it for almost two years and repurchased it more times than I care to count. It is so affordable at less than £2 and it is forever on offer in Boots. I really like what Boots is doing with their Botanics range. If you are just getting into using toners, I suggest trying this out as it feels so gentle and it really helps keep the skin in tip top shape.

Pixi Glow Tonic // £18.00 //Link //Review

I tried out the Pixi Glow Tonic for the first time last year and I was really impressed with it. I think it works best for people with combination/oily skin who also have blemishes/pigmentation. I know it is not everyone’s cup of tea but it is one product that I have seen sustained improvements with. It contains Glyclolic Acid, Ginseng and Aloe Vera which work together to keep the skin clear. Glycolic Acid, in particular,  helps fade hyper pigmentation and keeps the skin smooth. Of course, it does not happen overnight but I have seen improvements in my skin's texture and tone over a few months. The best part is that it also helps prevent acne/spots/pimples, etc and that’s one of the reasons why I repurchased it. I just hate having to pay almost £5 for delivery which is why I waited until I had a discount code. Pixi Beauty now have a loyalty scheme where you can accrue points and spend them when you purchase products from their range. I signed up to their newsletter and created an account (not a guest one like I did the last time) and I got £3.50 worth of points which I took out from my purchase.#winning

Soap and Glory Rich and Famous Body Wash  // £6.50 // Link // Review
I have a soft spot for Soap and Glory Body Care products and I have a little stash of some of my favourite products from their range here. There is something about the brand that just makes me want to check them out every time I am in Boots. The good thing is there is always one offer or the other and I always stock up. I had to repurchase the Soap and Glory Rich and Famous Body Wash after it finished because it is still my favourite everyday shower gel.  It is all kinds of amazing and I love how my skin feels and smells after I shower. It has such an amazing fragrance and I highly recommend it.


Overall Thoughts
I am so pleased (obviously) with all my repurchases and I know I will repurchase them over again unless something drastic happens. I feel if I repurchase a product, it is a testament to how effective and amazing they are. There are so many wonderful products out there and alternatives to some favourites so if I ignore them all and go back to one I have used up, then it's pretty special. That's all folks. Have you repurchased any products lately?...xx
