[affiliate/samples] Although I am sent a lot of different products, occasionally, some go on to turn me into a customer. I’m sure I’ve mentioned a couple before but I thought I’d show you what I’ve purchased myself as a result of testing.
I stocked up on Black Friday on Complexion Rescue, £29, HERE (non aff HERE) with two tubes – I really do squeeze the very last from them since its in daily use and I run out quite quickly. I’m on the very last of my BioEffect EGF Serum, £125 HERE (non affiliate HERE ), which I try to buy at airports or in-flight because it’s just a bit of a saving and while I don’t use it daily any more, any time my skin needs a moisture drench and to look a bit dewy, out it comes. I wore it yesterday actually and a friend commented on my skin (positively!).
The Glossier Gloss in Generation G has become a firm favourite – I love the light red shade and of course, am always happier with gloss than lipstick. It doesn’t upset or dry my lips and I can apply it as many times as I want – and do. A bit of a snip at £11 HERE although postage is £4. Finally, the Origins Mega Mushroom Micellar Cleansing Water, £30 HERE) non affiliate HERE). I used this over the summer and then realised, once finished, that I was missing it – it’s a great cleanser for removing make up and my lazy TV cleanse nights and seems to be very skin softening for my skin. It’s soap and alcohol free with a berry ferment base. I’m still not 100% sure on ferments but this particular micellar certainly is better than any I’ve tried. I’ll still revert to BioDerma Sensibio (my local chemist suddenly started stocking it) in between times – oh, I’ve just realised that counts as a recent re-buy! It’s HERE for £19.50 for a huge 500ml bottle with a reverse pump (which means you press your cotton pad down onto it and press). Non aff HERE.

Thanks Jane, it’s always nice seeing what things make the cut for a repurchase. You can’t get a better endorsement than actually buying it yourself!
Yes, there are a few products that at the least, I want another go at them so I’m always happy to buy in those circumstances. x
Great stuff Jane. I will need a new cleanser soon and both Origins and Bioderma sounds like good options. My most repurchased products are Soap & Glory Speed Plump moisturiser, Kiko long lasting eyeliner pencil (mostly 10 Metallic Ivy Green) Chanel Les Beiges fluid foundation and Superdrug Optimum Phytodeluxe Indulgent day and night creams..so some high street, others not. And the Superdrug products are thanks to you. So cheers all round!
Oh great – they’re super picks: no wonder they’re favourites!
If you have a MyJohnLewis card, you might well be able to get £5 off a beauty spend by taking back 5 empty cosmetic products including faffy things like mascara that you can’t totally recycle at home. I did this the other day at one of their Christmas special events and keep all my used beauty product packaging for when I need to make a beauty purchase.
that is a great tip!
Love the idea of this post! Very interested in Complexion Rescue – I remember you’ve liked it for a while.
I have – I use it more or less every single day.
I cannot wait for the day you find something that replaces your Complexion Rescue because I know it will be nothing short of miraculous 😀 for me, I can’t live without ABH Brow Wiz, I’ve tried soooo many eyebrow pencils but this is my HG. Airbrush Powder by CT is always in supply. Juno oil by Sunday Riley has just been replaced too! I will definitely be rebuying the CT Airbrush Flawless foundation when I run out but I can’t ever see that day coming, I use less than a pump to do my whole face!
Oh this is in a interesting list – especially CT as it’s had such mixed reviews. Yes, imagine something replacing CR – I can’t even think of it!!
