Hey guys! Everything's been pretty full on these past two weeks, so you may have noticed the posts here a little lacking, but I've still had the ability to post to Instagram pretty much daily. I was tagged in a post by @mybeautyconfessional as part of the #startingallovertag - if I lost all my makeup, the first ten things I would repurchase! This was interesting to kind of analyse my collection and think about what I use the most and what I love enough to rebuy. It was a fun one!
Here's the post, in case you didn't see it (@jemsbeautyau woo!):
And here's quick rundown of each product and why it's included. Would any of these be included in your Starting All Over Tag? Let me know!
Lorac Pro Palette
I don't know if you need me to tell you that you need this palette - but you really do. I've mentioned this palette a million times before but haven't gotten around to a full review yet - that's definitely on its way. This palette has a great bunch of neutrals, from taupe to mauve to light bronze, champagne and espresso, you can't really go wrong. The shadows are buttery and soft (the shimmers even moreso than the mattes, not to say the mattes aren't great), and this palette is pretty much the only eyeshadow I ever use anymore. This would be my first buy (but it would take about a month to get here from Amazon...)
Covergirl Trublend FixStick in Light 1-4
This is a relatively new product, and I love this for under my eyes due to its peachy undertone, which cancels out my blue undereye circles. I love anything in stick form (I'm that lazy), so this is a big plus for me which I would definitely run out and buy if I lost it.
Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in Sultry
I must sound like a broken record... this is my favourite lip colour, hands down. Matte, opaque colour, delicious mint scent, another thing in stick form... ugh my love. Forever repurchase.
Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in Standout
I don't love Standout as much as Sultry, but I love it enough that it deserves its spot here. I think the formula of Standout is actually better than Sultry, in that it's slightly less drying and just smooths out my lips and makes them look amazing. This is a dark, true red with a tinge of brown, and the only red I ever wear. SO much love for this balm. So much love in this post haha.
Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso
Pretty much the only blush I ever wear (gawd I'm boring). It gives a lovely glow to my light skin, and works so well with a bronzed face. I find this matches most lip colours well, although sometimes I do pick a pink blush over this to go with my ultra pink lips. But on a day to day basis, this is what I pick up. Definitely need some more colours from this line.
Rimmel London Fix and Perfect Primer in 001
I have a full review of this primer here. I love this to go under my silicone-based foundations, and it actually still works well with my BB creams. I am looking at purchasing a proper pore-filling foundation for around my nose since my pores are pretty bad, but this works pretty well in the meantime. It's nice and cheap, and sets really quickly. Yet another product I use every day!
Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in #21
This is another product I really want to do a full review on as I don't seem to see a lot of Asian products on Instagram (they're super popular on Reddit). This is the perfect colour for me, nice and pale, lasts ages, and gives a lovely dewy finish, whilst not completely covering my freckles.
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk
The cult product! This is such a good multitasker - I use it as an eyeshadow base, highlighter, waterliner (is that a word?), and lip base to make my lip colours pastel. I like it being in pencil form (some hate it) because it's nice and easy to use, although the day I had to sharpen away the NYX logo was a sad one.
Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade in Taupe
I'm thinking of doing a review on this product as well, simply because it's a new colour and not readily available in Australia. The colour of this product is pretty dead-on for me, as an ashy-toned-but-not-TOO-ashy-toned product (I loved Tough as Taupe for a while, but it's just way too grey for my brows). It's got a bit of a learning curve, but can create a really nice, natural brow.
Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent
This is a just a cheap, easy to use, nice simple setting powder that extends the life of my foundation by a lot. It's probably not the best one out there, but I'm happy with it for now. The worst thing about it is that it's hard to photograph!
So those are the top ten products I'd repurchase if I had to. What are yours?
