Recent Repurchases #1

Recent Repurchases #1
When you're a beauty addict, repurchases are a big thing. The chances are your stash is over flowing as it is and you have 101 alternatives, so when you immediately buy a product that you have just used up you know you have something special. However, if you repurchase it before  you have used it up then it is love...

This was the case with the Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm. After four months of using it once, maybe twice a day, I was coming to the end of the tub and I couldn't bare to think about not having another to replace it. This has made such a difference to my skin and it feels more plump and nourished every day, I know that this is a little pricey but I can honestly say that it is worth every single penny. 
My love for Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation is a long affair. I have been using this for at least three years now and I haven't been with out one in my stash since. If you want a 'covers all, lasts all day' foundation then look no further. This is my everyday foundation, especially if I have a long day ahead, however if I'm just running some errands then I like to mix it with the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation so it is a little lighter on the skin and it lasts longer! 
A more recent addition to my skincare routine is a chemical exfoliant which came in the form of Clarins Gentle Exfoliator. This product became a part of a two step toning regime that brightened the appearance of my skin whilst helping keep blemishes at bay. I also found that the redness in my cheeks was reduced with use of this product, I like to use this two to three times a week when my skin needs a little pick me up. 

My last two repurchases are from Origins, shocking. Something I have spoke of many times before is the United State Balancing Toner which I use every morning and most evenings. Before using this product my skin was very much a combination of oily and dry patches but with use of this balancing toner my skin is very much normal. This is my third, possible fourth, bottle and I can't see myself ever being with out it. 
The Origins Make A Difference Plus+ Moisturiser was far from an immediate repurchase. I used this about eighteen months ago but found it a little OTT for my skin as I was going through a very oily stage. However, over the past month or so I noticed my skin to be getting dry in places and this was the first product that popped into my head - and I have to say I made a very good choice. This is the most hydrating moisturizer that I have tried and it is one that I would recommend for dry skin, or if you just fancy a little hydration boost, use this a couple times a week! 

What are your most recent repurchases?

  5. I have my eyes on the Origins toner because it sounds great! I love the Clarins toner and it has been doing good things to my skin. It will probably be a forever repurchased product for me.
