The Repurchase Roster



I'm guilty of splashing my cash on the latest cosmetic releases, and always wanting to try new products out but today's post is a celebration of those staple products that always find their way back in to my shopping basket.

Now, the Naked eyeshadows palettes can be found in many a makeup hoard and these babies truly do last forever. However, I reach for the Naked 2 pretty much every single day and some of my favourite shades such as Bootycall, Tease, and YDK are on their final legs so I'll definitely be picking up another one. For my brows, I'm sticking to my trusty Eyeko Brow Gel*, which sets my brows nealty in place as well as given them more definition. Perf.

MAC products tend to be either hit or miss with me but I've gone through three bullets of MAC Hue and am now on my second Plumful, a beautiful shade for a/w. I'm even wearing it today...
If you're looking for that go to everyday wash of colour to your lids, pick up All that Glitters from MAC. Definitely, a product I can't do without in my stash.

I've also recently purchased Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, a match made in heaven for my combo skin tone. Not too heavy duty but enough to cover up any pesky blemishes. I think I have found a winner.

Also, working their way into my repurchase roster has to be Kate Moss 101 Lipstick by Rimmel, a cheap and cheerful blue toned red, Stila's Convertible Color in Lilium and Maybelline Gel Eyeliner which is another bargainous pick up.  I also couldn't do without having two buffing brushes by Real Techniques, this brush is a dream and one that I could not do without in my tool kit.

What products do you repurchase most often?

MAC Hue Lipstick

Available here £13.50

Another beauty blogger and youtube favourite has to be MAC's Lipstick in the shade 'Hue' and after searching for this holy grail of lipsticks for quite some time I did eventually get my ever eager mitts on it a few weeks ago. Since then I have been wearing this shade non-stop as although I have been adding to my MAC collection I hadn't yet purchased a more everyday based shade instead opting for bright corals and my definitive red lip.

Hue is a Glaze finish leaving your lips feeling moisturised and buttery soft in just one coat reminding me ever so slightly of the finish of Revlon Lip Butters and their lipstick/balm hybrid that I'm a sucker for. It is not just your average nude lipstick leaving more of a rose pink flush to your lips and this pinkish tone can be brought out the more you build up the product if you wish to. I feel like this shade compliments a smokey eye or everyday natural look, it seriously is a great choice if you're looking for something more natural and subtle to add to your collection.

One fault I do have with this product is that I sometimes do find that its buttery balm finish does tend to wear off more quickly than other MAC finishes and so I do find myself re-applying this a few times throughout they day. However, this is something I'm willing to put up with and I think I've found a new firm favourite that I will continue to repurchase in the future!

Do you have any 'everyday lippy' suggestions?
