Forever Repurchased #8.

FOREVER REPURCHASED #8.

Wishlists at the ready, it’s time for me to give a small, but overly enthusiastic speech on why I keep on buyin’ this lot. I rarely use up makeup (because I have so much of it, obviously) so it’s always an exciting time when I do actually get through something. Haircare and skincare I use it on the regularly, but it’s still an exciting feat.

First up, the Clinique High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara (£18) – without a doubt the best mascara I have ever tried. I think this is maybe my third or fourth tube and I won’t be quitting any time soon. I actually haven’t used this in ages but I’m so glad to have it in my clutches once more. It’s so good for achieving really brightened eyes thanks to the way it lengthens and separates every single lash. It’s also one of the only mascaras that doesn’t leave marks on my brow bone. Win.

The other makeup item I have here is the Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser Concealer (£7.99), I’ve been through a couple of these as they work so well for concealing just about everything. The packaging seems a bit gimmicky but I actually really like the soft sponge applicator. I think it’s meant for your eyes but I bought a darker shade and use it on blemishes before applying foundation and it works like a charm.

Another budget buy is of course the Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment (£7.99), I love everything about this conditioning mask – from the delicious scent to the way it makes my hair silky smooth for ages after application. It’s meant to be packed with vitamins to make hair grow faster, I’m not sure how true this is as my hair seems to grow fast anyway but I keep up applications regardless!

Lastly, one of my favourite face masks; Elemental Herbology Facial Glow Radiance Peel (£40) a long time love of mine. This is overflowing with botanical ingredients that help the skin to look its best, and the exfoliating formula really gets to work on dull, flaky and congested skin. I use it once a week to ensure my complexion is bright and clear!

Have you tried any of these?
