The Repurchase List

I love trying out new products and I obviously like hoarding makeup. There are however a few products that I will immidietly repurchase without thinking twice.

I usually make a note in my phone when one or another is starting to run low. I find buying them thoroughly unsatisfying because I have used the same product in some case for years. At the same time these work for me and I am not interested in experimenting all the time. My list in the phone was getting rather long meaning almost everything above is about to finish or finished making little room for new stuff in this months budget so instead of a new red lipstick (who am I kidding I will probably find a way to buy a new lipstick also) here come some of my essentials:

1. Bioderma H2O Micelle Solution- I am not completely loyal to this because occasionally I try other micellar waters. Every other time I will go back and purchase this and there is often some offer in pharmacy's here so I stock up. I have figured out that one thing that was messing with my skin here is the harsh water so I skip washing my face with water in the mornings now and clean with micellar water instead. This one is great cause you can put makeup on immediately after, it doesn't leave any residue on the skin and everything feels fresh.

2. Loreal Eye & Lip Make-up Remover- I have used this since high school so we go way back. I believe it was my dancer days when I was looking for a remover that takes off glitter, eyelash glue and other heavy duty stage makeup, wount make me weep at the price and doesn't irritate my eyes. This one fit the bill and I have stuck with it ever since. Dancer days are long gone but I still often wear waterproof mascara and some of my lipsticks will stay on forever (hello Sephora Lip Stain!) unless proper remover is involved.

3. Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray- yes this one has made it to the list. This stupidly expensive but miraculously effective spray. To be honest I have given up stressing out about the price and just surrender to the fact that there is nothing else like it. So off to the mall I trot the moment my can starts feeling light because there is too many unused texturizing sprays in my bathroom cupboard all bought in the hopes of finding a cheaper dupe. They do not do the same thing! At least not on my fine poker straight hair and in this weird Dubai weather. So I will forever buy Oribe because it is amazing!

4. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion- I didn't always use eyeshadow primer. You can actually read about me discovering it here last year. Well as I say in that post primers are my new BFFs and used every single day this same tube lasted me for a year. Its time to get a new one now and as much as I'm curious how the NARS eye primer is I think I will stick to UD one. Its served me so well and helped me through all the humidity and sweat Dubai can bring without a crease on the lids.

5. Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray- another one that lasted for ages but needs a repurchase. Once again I will have to mention the cray summer humidity that will have makeup running into your cleavage for 4 months of the year. Its not the most exciting product but it works and it keeps my t-zone matte and my foundation on and I can still see a hint of blush on my cheeks after a long work day.

6. Clinique Airbrush Concealer- mentioned on the blog so many times you are probably bored of it. As much as I do still buy various concealers for "market research" purposes I have a special kind of love for this one. I always repurchase it and I am on my 4th I think. It is awesome and even when my under eyes are dry and wrinkly (it does happen sometimes) this doesn't settle in fine lines and helps to really illuminate the dark circles.

7. Clinique Moisture Surge- again I will keep trying other moisturizers also but currently love this for mornings. I will finish my first pot of it very soon and have written into the repurchase list. I find a lot of moisturizers even if I do love them tend to make my foundation go oily faster than normal whereas this one just feels fresh and sinks into skin super fast.

I would really love to know what are the products on your repurchase list? Do you use any of the ones I listed and what are the brands you relay on over and over again?
