Products worth repurchasing

Hello Glitterjunkies!

- Happy Father's Day! - 

Some products are just so amazing, you'd like to have an eternal supply of them.

Those products you know you'll keep repurchasing for as long as they are available.

I have a few products like that, that I want to share with you. Here's a little list I put together with some. I hope this gives you some inspiration and maybe you can find some new loves. ;)

I have to talk about Elnett in this post. I've tried a lot of hairsprays but none of them beats this. I have so many backups of this, it's embarrasing. This is seriously the best thing ever. And if you can buy it in a set or on sale (which it usually is) it is not even that expensive!

My favourite powder ever, Stay Matte from Rimmel, is definitely repurchase worthy. I mean, this sets my make up without making me look cakey. It gives just a tiny amount of extra coverage, it is not expensive, you don't need a lot of product. This ticks all the boxes for me.

The next product I have to mention in this blogpost, is this 5 seconds blur cream from Garnier. I use this as my primer and Oh My God, it keeps my makeup in place the whole day! Which is insane, considering that my makeup is nearly gone after 3 hours without this. I'm repurchasing this until I can't repurchase it anymore (which will be a sad day).

I have repurchased this cuticle butter about three times already, since I discovered it about a year ago. That is how much I love this. As you can see, I'm talking about the Lemony Flutter cream by Lush. I use this on cuticles, elbows, knees and sometimes even my feet. This stuff is amazing and this little pot lasts you a very long time.

My favourite foundation ever is Match Perfection by Rimmel. This matches me perfectly, looks dewy but not like a discoball. I mean, I haven't found anything that makes my face look so flawless.

So yep, definitely buying this one again. I have already in fact, multiple times.

The blush that goes with any makeup look. It's not like I'm going to run out of this quickly, because you don't need a lot of product to get a lovely colour, but if I ever do I'm buying this again. It's flower power by Gosh cosmetics. It's a barbie pink that gives me the most natural flush. I adore this and use it almost every day.

The blackest eyeliner ever is the geleyeliner from Maybelline. This has been going strong for more than a year now and I still have more than half of the pot left. For me it is the easiest way to apply my eyeliner and the only form of eyeliner that allows me to create a wing without taking forever. So if I run out, I'm running to the store to get another one.

I need to buy another one of this. This is the long lasting lipstick by Kate Moss for Rimmel in 107. And it is my favourite red. I love this colour so much. Also, can you tell I love Rimmel? 
Haha, but anyway though, you have to go swatch this. It is red, matte and it absolutely perfect.

The next product I have to mention is the I <3 stage eyeshadow base by Essence. This stuff is super cheap and beats all other eyeshadow primers in my opinion. It keeps my eyeshadows locked into place the whole day and it als keeps my eyeliner from moving around,which is great!
Seriously guys, try this out!

The last product I want to mention has stolen my mascara loving heart. This is the Diorshow Iconic Overcurl from Dior and even though there are some great drugstore mascaras out there, nothing beats this. It lenghtens like crazy, volumises my lashes and keeps a curl wonderfully. It's a shame it's so expensive because I'd buy a couple at once, so I'd never run out. 

These are just a few of the products I buy again and again, just because I love them so much and I can't imagine my makeup life without them.

Let me know what products you keep repurchasing in the comments! 

Love always

Pretty pretty makeup

Hello Glitterjunkies!

Past weekend my mum took me out shopping, she kinda felt guilty for using the makeup that I bought all the time so she wanted to treat me... And what a treat she bought me! 

The first thing you need to know is that I usually buy all my makeup very budgetproof, I don't go overboard with expensive stuff because I just don't have the money. (unfortunately!)

So she took me to a shop that sells, Chanel, YSL, Givenchy, Dior and all that jazz.

Needless to say: I was overwhelmed with joy! 
Now I've always been a fan of Dior, I just find everything to be so pretty and well put together and so I naturally gravitated towards Dior from the second I walked in.

Eventually she ended up buying me 2 Dior products. Today I want to take a closer look at those products, together with you.

She bought me: 
the Diorshow Iconic Overcurl mascara in 090 Over Black
the Dior Addict lipgloss in 553 Princess

Overall I really like the packaging, I think the silver is really pretty and it's very practical to be able to put your precious bottle of mascara or lipgloss away in an extra 'container'.

On to the mascara!

The packaging from the mascara itself is again really pretty, although hard to photograph! I like the round shape and how sophisticated it looks.

The mascara wand is really great, the curve is just perfect. It applies smoothly and really gets all those tiny lashes.

These are my lashes without mascara. They are pointed down and fairly short. Without mascara I always feel like I look extremely tired.

These are my lashes with mascara. BOOM instantly more awake! You can really see how it grabs all the lashes. It can get a little bit clumpy, as you can see in the photo. But honestly I don't really mind that, especially since it isn't too bad.
The best thing about it though is that it doens't smudge! I have been looking for a mascara that doens't smudge on me. Since even waterproof mascaras don't last a full day on me. Which is something I find really annoying! I've worn this mascara a full day yesterday and it didn't move! It seriously stays put until you remove it with your cleanser and it isn't even a waterproof version! When you than remove it, it comes off supereasy without  ripping your lashes out. I love it! 

Next: the lipgloss!

The packaging is typical Dior, really practical and pretty.
Normally I tend to go for the really bright colours. But I figured I'd be able to wear this more if I chose a fairly basic colour. My eyes were swiftly drawn to this. It is just the most perfect, sweet, pretty pink gloss. It is very girly, but I love it!

The gloss has tiny little pieces of glitter in it, which I obviously love. I have to be honest though and tell you that I am not the biggest fan of the applicator. I don't mind it, but I feel like the little brush doesn't scoop up enough product for me. It does feel really nice on the lips though. 

This is what it looks like on. You can really see the glitter. From further away it gives more of a really nice overall sparkle. I really like the formula, it isn't sticky and it is pretty longlasting for a gloss. 

You can buy Dior at the Dior counters or online.

I hope you enjoyed this post! And let me know in the comments what your first expensive product was, or if you're only able to look at them!

Love 
Sophie
