Items Worth a Repurchase!

I wanted to do a blog about items that are so good I have already gone out and repurchased them. That is the true test of whether an item is a must have or not. Here are my items:

100% Pure Coffee Bean Eye Cream - You've read about this one before in my blogs. I love, love, love the smell of this eye cream. I use it day and night and it always puts a smile on my face. Only $10 from www.100percentpure.com and it will last you a while (especially if you only use it once a day.) Wait for a holiday or sale where they offer free shipping to get the best deal.

E.L.F. Eyelid Primer - I don't really feel like I'm an expert in eyelid primer but all the reviews I've heard compare this primer to the high end ones. It's always worked just fine for me and you can't beat the price. Only $1 and you can find it at Target or even occassionally a dollar store. I've purchased this more than twice.

Thayer's Witch Hazel Toner with Aloe Vera Cucumber - This is my favorite toner. I love the smell and it's very refreshing. I've tried multiple scents in the Thayer's line and this is my favorite. Just repurchased on Amazon but you can get it cheaper on Vitacost.

Tom's of Maine Simply White Toothpaste in Clean Mint - This toothpaste is absolutely incredible. I actually look forward to brushing my teeth! The clean mint flavor is seriously addictive. (Tom's is owned by Colgate so some will contest the cruelty free status of this product. I try to stick to products that are independently owned but sometimes the convenience and price of other products wins out. A small step in the right direction is still a step in the right direction.)

St. Claire's Organics Ginger Pastilles Herbal Sweets - Speaking of addictive! Holy crap these are good!! I have one of these at work, one in my purse, and one in my home office. They are only 6 calories for two and I probably go through 6-10 a day. They are a little on the spicy side but really good. You can get four tins for $10 on Vitacost. I've repurchased once after trying them in a Conscious Box and will need to get more soon as I am running low!

eos Shave Cream - I found a cruelty free alternative to my shaving cream. eos brand is available at Rite Aid and Walgreens among others. It's not the most amazing thing ever, but it works just fine for shaving. Have purchased twice so far. It comes in a convenient pump and in several scents. Hint: when the pump is done screw off the top to get a little more product out of it.

NYX HD Concealer in Light - I just repurchased this. This concealer is a pretty good dupe for the Revlon Colorstay in Fair that I used to use. You can find NYX at ULTA or on Amazon.

E.L.F. Maximum Coverage Concealer - This is a very good oil-free concealer that I like to use under my foundation. The lightest shade is still a little dark for me so I pair it with a lighter foundation like Gabriel Moisturizing Foundation. I've repurchased both.

Pumpkin & Poppy Oil Absorbing Mineral Veil - OMG, I love this stuff! I've purchased twice and would have purchased a third time but she is all out at the moment. I'm using up my ELF finishing powder while I wait but nothing beats this powder made of rice. It feels so natural and is part of my routine that I look forward to. Leaves a nice finish and blends well with makeup.

Gluten Free Beauty Balancing Facial Serum - Ok, I really, really wanted to repurchase this one but the website is all out of stock at the moment. I loved the sample of this serum I got in my Eco Emi box a few months back. With my moisturizer it is a good substitute for primer and seems to be really good for my skin. I found a similar formula by a seller on Etsy that I am going to try out but I really hope that I will be able to get the original I fell in love with again. It smells amazing too! Like all the really yummy fair foods mixed together and smeared all over your face (but in a good way!!!) It's got Hazelnut Oil which I think gives it this smell.

Zoya Nail Polish Remover and Pixie Dust Polish - I love Zoya!! I've repurchased both of these and love them both. Both have fewer chemicals (like Formeldahyde) than your typical polish brands. The remover works really well at getting polish off (and doesn't smell bad!) as well as moisturizing your nails so they look great afterward! The Pixie Dust polish is this great formula that has a texture and a sparkle. Really pretty and fun! I've tried both Stevie (lavender purple) and London (cement gray). I really want to try Miranda too which is a pretty reddish pink. I don't find that two coats chips and it will last quite a while.
