Repurchases

So I've finally finished up my Reve de Miel lip balm and got a new one (lasted me for 7 months!!!) and decided that I should make a post about my repurchases.

NUXE reve de Miel (2nd pot)

The BEST lip balm I've ever had, it's not sticky nor does it taste disgusting; lasts a long time; and protects your lips better than anything. Full review here. (shameless, shameless plug in, I know)

KATE designing eyebrow N in EX-5 (2nd palette)

This is the multi-tasker of the multi-taskers. This works great as an eyeshadow if you are willing to put in the effort to really layer the color (because since it's an eyebrow powder it's not as pigmented as an actual eyeshadow, duh). The darkest color is great as a crease color on top on cream eyeshadows (works wonders on top of Maybelline color tattoo in Bad to the Bronze) or mix the middle and darkest color for a natural bottom liner that smokes out beautifully. Use a big fluffy brush and mix all the colors together and you'll get a face contour that is almost impossible to overdo and looks incredibly natural (because the colors are very cool toned, it really mimics natural shadow well)

SOFINA jenne Day Protector I SPF24 PA+++ 

(2nd tube of this SPF, have used SPF 50 one for more than 3 bottles)

Simply because it's an awesome non oily SPF moisturizer. It's so hard to find SPF moisturizer for oily skin with SPF higher than 15. In Hong Kong, SPF 15 cannot protect you from anything. It's also non greasy, doesn't make you oily and really moisturizes your face. It's also available in a thicker formula for drier skin and in SPF 50 PA+++ (which also gives you a more matte finish)

LA ROCHE POSAY Effaclar Duo (3rd tube)

Mild chemical exfoliator for the face, helps keeps the pimples at bay and for milia to clear up faster. Full review here

COVERGIRL lash blast length water resistant 

(3rd tube, if you count Max factor's dupe then at least 5)

Great natural looking long fluttery lashes, DOES NOT SMUDGE (With my oily skin and Hong Kong's heat and humidity, the most waterproof mascara smudges on me and I cannot swipe it off, hideous sight). Cheap and awesome, what more could a girl ask for? Full review here

BASTISTE Dry Shampoo (3rd-4th bottle)

Great affordable dry shampoo that cleans out greasiness, does not leave white residue and curiously looks even better when you have put it on day old hair, and went to dance class to sweat again. Also gives amazingly natural volume to your hair.

UGB Crystal BB cream (3rd tube)

Although awefully pink and grey when you first apply it, give it some time and it will adjust (slightly) to a more natural color. VERY natural coverage, does not cake, quite long lasting AND high SPF and PA protection. On lazy and not so sunny days, I just slap this on and pretend I took care of my skin. 

KOJI eye talk eyelid/eyelash glue (2nd bottle)

This is supposed to be eyelid glue so you can fake double eye lids naturally (No mean comments please, I am not trying to look white, and am tired of ignorant people saying Asians desire double eye lids to look white, some of them do, but not all of them, certainly not me. Double eyelids occur in oriental asians naturally, not all Asians are born with monolids) But this also works amazingly as eyelash adhesive, I found the "long lasting" eyelash adhesives to be too sticky and difficult to clean off after using, this does not give me the problem and gives you great control of where the glue is going.
